Healing Hands.

[Gavin]

The next several days, Ga'vin ate with his head down, trying to hide the black eye he had received that morning. If he didn't know any better, he might have thought his instructors where turning this into some kind of game! What was worse some of his trainees were getting in on it as well! They claimed to be helping get over his shyness! Light he wasn't ready to be bonded!

Not much could stir him, but they always seemed to laugh watching him squirm and blush, and mess up all the formalities! If he could just sneak past them to the practice yard this once without limping this once it would be a good day!

Ga'vin winced, gritting his teeth, trying to ignore his inflamed foot... the stinking birdbrains had smashed his foot with a bloody pole arm three times! It had been intentional! he knew it was! He clenched his jaw and bowed slightly to the Aes Sedai... but before he could get by, one of the warders passed him and stepped on his foot. Obviously getting to him back for some sort prank he had done weeks ago! The man had a good memory! ... perhaps it was time time he stole everybody's left boot and set them out in the practice yard... it would have been funny, if hadn't rained that night.

Ga'vin's nostrils flared he and he let out a cleansing breath, holding his composure... Then bowing again he turned, his broken foot gave out and he promptly went crashing down a flight stairs!.... blood and ashes! not again! Ga'vin hurriedly tried to get up... blood was gushing out of a gash on his fore head and his forearm was bent slightly of in the wrong direction from where he had tried to catch himself.... he wanted to scream, but that would only make the fall that much more embarrassing.

The warder's and the warders in training where a different breed, if you didn't die or lose a limb, it was just fun and games. Blood and Ashes, he was not going to let the Accepted experiment on him again! Light, Not again! Last time they had set his pants on fire, while treating a broken hand!.... supposedly it was an accident! He didn't know how to channel, but he certain healing hands and setting pants on fire were not weaves that should get mixed up!

When Gavin looked upward his jaw dropped when saw the most beautiful set of eyes gazing down at him... his mind was suddenly still and he swallowed hard, not sure what to do. He quickly tried to get up again but he couldn't, the laugher from the top the stairs seemed to melt away.... he just couldn't seem to look away from the woman's eyes.... she was beautiful!
