The Grey Tower

Could it be nothing? Maybe. And yet... Haeden offered a small, mirthless smile. "My mother has told me a time or two that when something seems too easy, there's usually a reason for it. Being easy isn't a bad thing in and of itself, but if it makes you uneasy, then there's generally a reason fo...

Haeden's gaze remained focused on the two at his feet, though he listened to his wife's conversation with the older gentleman. There was also a prickling sensation on the back of his neck, but he could only glance around very quickly to see if there was a reason for it...but seeing nothing on that q...

Haeden Ives would not be much of a Gaidin, of course, if he hadn't noticed and seen exactly what his Aes Sedai did as they made their way along the street. He was only briefly surprised at the aggressive act done somewhere that could be easily viewed, like by people who happened to be walking by, bu...

Haeden couldn't help but suspect the same thing, which made him less inclined to do so. There was still something of a mystery, and Liaran clearly did not think the waitstaff needed to know. Perhaps she had a suspicion about it. Either way, Haeden had no intention of being encouraged to stay or go b...

Haeden did avail himself of the opportunity to look beneath the floorboards as Liaran lifted them and created the light within. The bags were obviously plain and nondescript, but the flashes of glimmering discs was plain. He thought it looked golden, although the glinting wasn't quite conducive to s...

For his part, Haeden was far from expert in the use of the Domani utensils, but there had been some experience with it during his training and upbringing in the Grey Tower. A warder had to always be prepared for any situation their ward may partake of, after all. Still, it wasn't entirely smooth sai...

Haeden certainly had no complaints about just walking and spending time in the company of his wife. After all, this was still far less physical exertion than an average day in the training yards, but he did know that if they just kept going in circle after circle, the crew might well start to look a...

That draw a smile from him. The man certainly never smiled so much at any time in his day-to-day life as he did when he was in the privacy of his wife. Admittedly, being around his family--especially his younger half-brother--did come a close second. It was still markedly second place, though. "...

"Nothing to apologize for, Liaran," her husband responded warmly. He knew her, after all, and she was more introspective than the average woman, even the average Aes Sedai--if there was such a thing as an 'average' Aes Sedai, of course. That was a bit of philosophy up for debate and not ri...

He listened, nodding thoughtfully. He could not help but be a little sad that there was something she missed or wished that he could not provide her, and yet he understood. Life was all about choices, and at least to live without regret for that choice... Well, that was more than many people could s...
