The Grey Tower

Lanian started when she spoke in that calm voice. His face lost all emotion and became as hard and as cold as stone. She might claim to understand it but she didn't. You couldn't understand what it was like until you did it. Ripping your family was one thing but killing someone was another. At least ...

Lanian watched her jump while he considered his answer. Carefully he reached out and plucked the book she had been trying to get from the shelf and handed it down to her. Then said "I was just thinking about why I want to learn about battleweaves." Would that be enough to satisfy her curiosity ...

Looking to begin the process of breaking Lanian's block, even if it is just planning it out. Not sure if it is yet too earlier or what but I though I should put it out there.

Her look made him think again. Was he beginning foolish in search out books on weapons. Possibly. Possibly not. I was a valid area of learning, just a highly dangerous one to study. I wasn't an area in which you would want to make a mistake. Yet he knew in his heart that even if he didn't take any ...

What was he looking for again. He had been so focused on Avrya that he had totally lost track of what he had been going to do before. He had been coming to the Library he knew but what for. Books obviously but on what? Quickly he racked his brains. What had he been hunting on. Battleweaves. That was ...

Lanian watched her as she explained why she had the books on battleweaves. He didn't doubt they were interesting but for a Novice to experiment with battleweaves... That was dangerous.

Lanian watched Avrya carrying the books. She appeared to be struggling but based on how she had acted earlier when he took half the books he didn't think she would appreciate him trying to take more of the books and an angry women was not something he wanted to deal with.

Instead he focused on what ...

Lanian looked at the small girl. He hadn't ever seen her before but from the looks of her she was a Novice. She looked slightly annoyed, probably at him bumping in to her. Fair enough as far as he was concerned but still, he had apologized. Wasn't that enough?

Still it was probably best to just ...

Lanian looked down from his height to stare at the tiny Novice who he had ran into, or had she ran into him. He had been so lost in thought that he had barely noticed where he was going. That meant it had probably been his fault although judging by the number of books that were lying around she ...

Lanian was wandering down the hall's of the Tower bored. He had little to do. It was free time right now and he had already completed what little homework he had been assigned. It hadn't even been difficult homework let along time consuming. Now all he had to do was wander. He supposed he could read ...
