The Grey Tower

Lirievin Tesiva Liri was happy that she had an ally. Building friendships and alliances was starting to seem important to her. It was becoming more clear to her that despite the fact that the Red Ajah was a full Ajah, it too often was looked down on or seen as a lesser Ajah and Liri knew something had to be done to fix that. An ally, or friend depending on how the future went, in Blue would be a huge asset. They were one of the largest Ajah's and although Mirin wasn't even a full member, Liri had a feeling that she would be a valuable member.

"I don't mind if you come to ask advice of me, I can't guarantee I'll have the answers, but if I do their yours." She said simply. She would do her best to help Mirin and Liri felt like Mirin would return the gesture, even if it was in her own way. Suddenly becoming aware of what was happening around here Liri realized that breakfast was coming to an end and everyone was cleaning their plates. Mirin stood up taking her plate with her to clean it, Liri followed suit as Mirin talked to her.

"I enjoyed our conversation as well. I had been worried about how one would react to my Dreams and you are the first I've come to about them and it's given me things to think on." She stopped for a moment as she cleared her plate off putting the dish aside to be washed. "I have a class this morning then I'm heading off to the Library to try and find more information on Dreams and any past Dreamers that have been here. If I can't find information in the books I may find someone who knew a Dreamer. Are you headed off to class now or studying?" She asked Mirin in return. She had grown up being taught that it was courtesy to return any questions others asked you and she hadn't grown out of that habit. Maybe one day it would change, but she didn't was to seem rude, especially to a friend.

Mirin scraped at her plate. "I assist the Yellows in the infirmary each morning until midday. I have some interest in Healing, although unfortunately I'm rather mediocre. But practice makes perfect," she said lightly. She set her plate aside to be washed by the novice on dishwashing duty.

She walked with Liri out of the dining hall. "The Library is one of my favorite places in the Tower. I spend most of my evenings there, so you know where to find me." She winked at Liri.

They stood in the entrance of the Tower. Mirin nodded. "Have a good day. I'll see you around."

Alone, she walked out the entrance and finally allowed herself to think again of the child and Liri's Dream. She replayed the conversation in her mind, analyzing every word. Is there such a thing as destiny? To have a child of her own, to care for and love - to see Lina again, happy and well - it would be a dream come true. Except, of course, dreams have a way of turning into nightmares. Abruptly, she threw her head back and laughed, her voice ringing out sweetly with a touch of bitterness.

The sword of destiny has two edges, she thought. Let it fall where it may.
