The Grey Tower

Liaran Sedai Liaran set the sheet down on the table when she was done with it, continuing to listen to Miahala speak. Though the close family relationships that the other woman described were entirely foreign to her, Liaran still found it interesting to learn more of the other woman's early life. O...

"You don't have to stay and help just because I am," Liaran pointed out, "but I'm sure it would be appreciated. I am glad you aren't needed anywhere else, since it is getting late." The Aes Sedai gazed out at the water, enjoying their last few moments on the lake, until Haeden sp...

Liaran Sedai Liaran looked up again when Miahala addressed her. "He may be," she agreed, "Leaving the ocean behind was not easy for me, but I am glad to have made my home here." She watched the other woman, not sure if Miahala was expecting any further response from her. The str...

Liaran Sedai As the boat moved across the lake, Liaran closed her eyes to take in the peace and quiet surrounding them. It was not entirely silent, of course; if she paid attention, she could easily overhear the nearby party. The Aes Sedai simply chose not to, preferring to spend a few short moment...

Liaran Sedai On arriving at the tea room, they were led to a small table outside that offered at least a little privacy. After sitting down, Liaran hid her hands under the table.

Liaran Sedai While Liaran continued to study Haeden's movements, she did so in almost total silence. She did not want to distract him or startle him. Instead, she focused on enjoying this moment with him, occasionally looking away to gaze at the tiny balls of fire suspended above or at the lake sur...

Ekaitza, Novice Ekaitza was relieved when the bells finally rang, freeing her from any further attempt to keep working. She smiled at Dai and said, "If you don't mind, yes, please. If you're getting the bags, I could take our rakes?" she suggested. Whether he agreed or not, the novice bus...

Liaran Sedai Not knowing what to say, Liaran opted for silence as she so often did. It did not bother her, but at the same time, she felt obligated not to stay quiet for too long. She darted a glance at the woman beside her as they walked, and tried to think of some suitable topic to get to know he...

Liaran Sedai Liaran leaned forward and into the kiss, then slowly returned to the edge of her seat with a smile. The boat rocked under her as she sat back down. Gazing at Haeden, her smile grew wider when he agreed to try rowing and expressed a desire to know more of her culture. "You will,&qu...

Ekaitza, Novice By now, Ekaitza was tired enough that she was practically dragging the rake and her sack behind her, barely using either for its intended purpose. Dai's question made her stop walking entirely. She stepped off the path, looking at the Soldier, then shook her head. "No, of cours...
