OOC: Indeed long and wonderful Interesting if they'll both end up blue.

"I would prefer to withdraw now." Faile said with that unbelievebly calm tone. "If I may." She added, but not as a question. Still, Mira considered it as a small victory over the girl, in her mind, that she had added that. After all, if Faile showed disrespect, Mira could drag her up to the Mistress of Novices, and that was something Faile indeed wouldn't like.

"Fine, you are dissmissed." Mira said, and waited untill the girl had left the library, before she herself started to put her books back in the cases.

"I know it´s not for us Novices to question the business of Accepted let alone Aes Sedai," Faile said with a smooth voice. A little too smooth, Mira thought. How could this novice remain so cool, after being rebuked by an Accepted? Mira knew she never had been able to stay so calm after something like that. "But nonetheless we have been taught to show interest in the business of the White Tower", the girl continued. Anger started to bubble up slightly inside Mira. "and now I´m wondering why I suddenly am not supposed to ask those questions anymore...Be that as it may though, I guess I won´t be able to find much more about this particular topic anymore, unless you have some other source for me to inquire..."

The thing Mira was most angry about, wasn't that Faile spoke almost as if they were equals. It was that even if Faile was a novice, she spoke like as if she was a full Sister. Before Mira could say something herself, the girl continued, with the same smooth voice.

"Anyway, how long have you been in the White Tower and do you already know which Ajah you want to choose?"

Mira waited a few seconds, to be sure that the girl was done.

"First of all," Mira drew a deep breath. "This is not the business of the White Tower, this is the business of me and I only." She stopped a minute to reconsider her choice of words. "And, yes, you have done a good job, you are free of this work now. And what was it more? A, yes. As a matter of fact, I have not yet decided my Ajah."

Mira watched as the novice grabbed a few books, before sitting down next to her. Mira was suprised by how ambitious the younger girl was, and tried to remember if she had been that enthusiastic when she had recieved a task from someone when Mira helself had been a novice.

When Faile turned the page after reading the first one, the novice looked up at her, and Mira quickly turned her face down to her own book. As tired as Mira was, she could'n manage to stay awake while reading. Mirana almost jumped again when Faile asked, “Who are you writing that essay for, Mirana?"

Mira looked out the window, and noticed that it was late afternoon. How long had she been asleep?

Is it for a lesson? White Tower and the World perhaps?†Faile asked.

Since she wasn't really writing an essay, she had to come up with some lie. For one second, she felt bad for lying to the novice, but she pushed the emotion away, and once again tried to sound like a Sister.

"I'm afraid that's none of your concern, Faile." She had been indeed close to calling Faile child, but that would have sounded a little too ridiculous.

When she turned her face down towards her book again, she could almost feel that another question would come from Faile.

"Good day to you, Mirana", a soft voice said behind her. Mira was a little astonished. She didn't recognize the soft voice, but still the girl knew her name. Quickly Mira reminded herself that she was now an Accepted, and some Novices actually looked up to her now. But this girl sounded like she had been looking for Mira.

Mira turned around, and spotted the girl in the white dress. She had an indeed pretty face, and her short brown hair had a tone of red in it. The girl made a small curtsy, and Mira almost blushed. She wasn't yet used to other people bowing infront of her. That was something she was used to do herself, infront of other people.

"My name is Faile al´Rahien. Leona Sedai sent me here to you. She said you needed my help with something?" The girl said.

Mira was about to tell the Novice that there had been some missunderstanding. She had been talking to the red sister earlier that day, and told her that she was going to the library, but nothing about needing help.

"I don't..." Mira started, but stopped herself. She knew how eager some Novices could be to help. "Yes, that's true. You can start with helping me find some interesting books about Tear." Mira said, trying her best to sound like a full sister. "I'm writing an essay about it." She added.

She stood up, and pointed at the shelves where the books about geography were.

Mirana entered the library. She had a smile on her face. The last days had been quite hard. Mostly with lessons, but she had also been hit by a stroke of home sickness. Tear...

Taking a few steps into the greay library, she looked around for new possible shelves, filled with interesting books, about whatever in the whole world. This library really had it all. She came into a path of books about geography, and found a mass of books only about Tear. So she grabbed two of them, one called Nina Caprimons world adventures: Tear, and the other Stone of Tear.

She chose a table, close to the geography shelves. Before she sat down, she remembred she had been sitting by this table before. It was at this particullar table she had first met Zemiocro.

She was dissapointed when she opened the book called Stone of Tear, and noticed that the book infact didn't have much to do with Tear at all. It was a man and a woman, living in Cairhien, who had always been talking about getting out to see the world, and particullary the Stone.

Mirana yawned, when she heard gentle stepps behind her.
