Amaranie set down the cup she'd been working with, then stood from the desk she'd been using and turned around to face the source of the voice. "Of course, Lorian Sedai," she said, perfectly aware that despite the politely phrased question, that was the only acceptable response.
"What do you need?"
The Indigo's head was bent over what appeared to be a small metal ball, lit up with strands of Fire, and she didn't take her eyes off it when she answered. "I need you to go to the Mistress of Novices's office and show one of the new girls around," she explained. "I meant to go myself, but I just don't have time right now."
Amaranie nodded silently, curtsied, then headed quickly for the door of the Vaults, leaving the cup on the desk so she could return to it later. She hurried through the halls, her long legs quickly carrying her towards her destination. It was a relief when she finally arrived to see that nobody was waiting yet, neither the unknown novice nor Miahala Sedai. Taking a seat in one of the chairs outside the office door, Amaranie tossed her brown ponytail over her shoulder and looked down at the skirt of her dress. She did her best to keep it clean, but ever since she'd somehow ended up with a cat, the white fabric always seemed to be covered in little red hairs. She picked them off one at a time as she waited, only occasionally lifting her head to dart a glance towards the closed office door.
