Novice Gossip Over Dishes

Post by Tolza » Tue Aug 03, 2021 8:49 pm

Tolza enters the kitchen to find Novice Eivor and Novice Isela elbow deep in in the kitchen sink. Tozla had spent some time with the two Novice and had noticed they where inseparable. Be it their studies, chores or free time.

Tolza un-noticed by the pair wove a weaves allowing their conversation to spring into her ear.

The Kitchens
The smells of food fills this large, high ceilinged room, the scent of
meats mingling with those of fruits and vegetables. A long stone fireplace
with spits lies in the center of the eastern wall, the roasting spits being
turned by spit dogs running in their wicker baskets. Iron stoves and ovens
have been placed along other walls. Three large pairs of doors flank the
kitchen and a glimpse reveals they are large dining halls. Gray tiles cover
the floor and a large sink occupies a corner of the room.
[ obvious exits: E W ]
A giant sink sits here, filled with many dirty dishes.
Eivor do Styrkja a'Seidher the Wearied Novice is standing here.
An Accepted stands here, ready to fulfill any Aes Sedai request.
Laras the Mistress of the Kitchens is here directing the kitchen workers.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor says 'Hello Isela!'

Eivor hugs Isela.

Isela says 'Hello sister!'

Eivor says 'How are things going?'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'I just finished a lesson with Accepted Beldane'

Isela glances at Laras.

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Eivor says 'Oh? And how was that?'

Isela whispers to Eivor 'and she let out the biggest fart ever!'

Eivor says 'No way!'

Eivor giggles.

Eivor says 'What did the other Novices do?'

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Isela says 'Everyone was just trying not to laugh'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'Priselle couldn't help it though'

Isela says 'Accepted Beldane gave her an earful'

Isela says 'It was amazing'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor says 'Of course she couldn't. Priselle has about as much tact as a fish monger'

Isela giggles.

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Isela says 'I doubt Priselle ever makes it to Accepted. Her emotions are an open book'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor sighs loudly.

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Eivor says 'Sadly many of us won't'

Eivor says 'I'm sure you'll make it though!'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor frowns.

Isela says 'Hah! Says the girl the Aes Sedai are flagging down every day'

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Isela says 'You've definitely made your impression!'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Eivor says 'Jealous?'

Eivor sticks her tongue out at Isela.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela gives a sheepish grin.

Isela says '...maybe a little'

Isela says 'in fact, I overheard Relisa Sedai talking about you'

Eivor says 'Oh?'

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Eivor says 'Well spill it girl!'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor says 'What did she say?'

Isela says 'Relisa Sedai said the other Aes Sedai were considering you for advancement'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'of course... I swear if any Aes Sedai can skirt the first oath, Relisa Sedai can'

Isela winks suggestively at Eivor.

Eivor says 'That would be nice... who else do you think might be advancing soon?'

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Isela says 'I don't know about advancement, but I really like Eldare'

Isela says 'she just seems so... wise. How old do you think she is?'

Eivor stops washing the dishes for a moment and looks at her raw wrinkled hands. Sighing heavily,
she returns to the task at hand.

Eivor says 'Tough to say... the Tower is accepted so many older women now, speaking of which...'

Isela winces as Laras slaps the back of her head, saying 'more washing, less talking, Novice!'

Eivor says 'have you seen that old, grandmotherly woman walking about?'

Eivor says 'I thought she was a servant at first, I was so embaressed'

Isela says 'Who is she?'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor says 'She's a Novice though, her name was...'

Eivor says 'Sharon...Sharin....something like that'

Eivor thinks hard.

Eivor shrugs helplessly.

Eivor says 'We can't be expected toremember the names of all the girls around here'

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Isela says 'I can barely remember the names of some of my teachers'

Isela sighs.

Eivor snickers softly.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'What about Accepted Jayia? Have you had classes with her?'

Eivor says 'One or two, she was actually one of the Accepted that helped me gain more control
embracing the Source'

Isela says 'did she happen to tell you how she ended up in the White Tower?'

Isela holds back a giggle.

Eivor says 'No...'

Isela says 'she was in love with an apprentice farrier in Alindaer and they were supposed to be
married.'

Eivor takes a break from washing to dry her hands, receiving an approving, if dismissive nod from
Laras.

Isela says 'Then he found out she had the spark, knocked her over the head, and deposited her on the
White Tower steps!'

Eivor says 'NO!'

Eivor gasps in astonishment.

Isela says 'I think he moved to the Tower Rivers or something'

Isela scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'I guess living so close to Tar Valon really put a bad taste in his mouth about Aes Sedai'

Eivor says 'Men are pigs, I'm half tempted to seek the Red just so I can avoid them!'

Isela nods matter-of-factly.

Isela scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor thinks about her last statement, then shakes her head.

Eivor says 'have you thought about what Ajah you might want to apprentice under?'

Isela says 'not the Gray. Detrine Sedai is a complete bore'

Isela says 'she had me head-down in national conflicts for three days'

Eivor arches an eyebrow.

Eivor says 'Those are important matters Isela'

Eivor says 'You know what happened to my parents in that border dispute...'

Isela sighs.

Eivor begins to tear up.

Isela says 'I meant no offense, sister'

Eivor says 'I know, I know'

Isela comforts Eivor.

Eivor says 'I never really knew them anyway'

Eivor says 'I've always seen Lord Seidher as my real father'

Isela says 'You're very lucky to have been raised by a noble'

Isela says 'The most exciting thing about my childhood was selling
fruit from a cart!'

Eivor says 'Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I like to play a game sometimes where I guess what
direction some of the Novices lean towards. '

Eivor peers closely at Isela.

Isela says 'hmm, I'll play'

Eivor smiles happily.

Isela shows a mischievous glint in her eye.

Eivor says 'I'll save you for last. What do you think about... Oriana?'

Isela hurriedly picks up another dish as Laras walks by.

Isela says 'Oriana... is she the really tall one who is really good with Fire?'

Eivor panics, realizing she has been sitting idle for far too long.

Isela scrubs the dirty dishes.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor says 'That's her!'

Eivor says 'I guess that sort of gives it away doesnt it?'

Isela says 'Actually no. I'd say Blue. I overheard her talking about going back to Ghealdan one day to
advise the queen'

Isela says 'or was it king?'

Isela scratches her head.

Eivor says 'Oh interesting. I pegged her for a Green instantly'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor thinks hard.

Isela says 'I mean, she does want like 20 warders, so that makes sense'

Eivor snickers softly.

Isela says 'ooh did you know that Marlethe Sedai is from Ghealdan too? I love her accent'

Eivor says 'speaking of Ghealdan...'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor says 'I've heard the White Cl...I mean...the Children of the Light are moving in on them...'

Isela says 'really?'

Isela raises an eyebrow suspiciously.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'who did you hear that from?'

Eivor says 'I have my sources...'

Eivor winks suggestively at Isela.

Isla mutters in disgust.

Isela says 'You seem very well connected, your Highness'

Eivor rolls her eyes...sheesh!..

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Eivor splashes some dishwater at Isela.

Isela laughs lightly.

Eivor cringes at a sharp yell from Laras, 'Enough horseplay you two!'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela drops a mock curtsey for Laras when she's not looking.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor giggles quietly.

Isela says 'I think I'll have pruny fingers the rest of my life...'

Isela says 'anyway... which Novice is next?'

Eivor thinks hard.

Eivor says 'Oh, I have a tough one for you'

Eivor says 'Vitriana!'

Isela gasps in astonishment.

Eivor says 'Right?'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'I could have sworn Vitriana would already BE Aes Sedai by now. She seems so commanding'

Isela says 'But she really excels at healing...'

Isela says 'hrmm, this IS a tough one'

Isela says 'I'm going to stick with Yellow for her.'

Eivor says 'Ok ok, your turn, give me one!'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'Mildrena. I think I know, but I want you to guess'

Isela scrubs the dishes.

Eivor says 'Gosh I haven't really spent a lot of time with her, but I run into her at the library
almost every time I'm there, so...Brown?'

Isela shakes her head.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor says 'What do you think then?'

Isela says 'She wants to be Red. Her late uncle could touch the Source and was gentled when she was a
little girl'

Eivor gasps in astonishment.

Isela says 'she hides in the library a lot to cry'

Isela sighs.

Eivor says 'I didn't know that! I feel so bad for her, you know what those men usually do once
gentled...'

Eivor says 'Is he...around still?'

Isela shakes her head.

Isela says 'her late uncle, I'm afraid'

Eivor says 'Oh I missed that, man...'

Eivor says 'Wait...'

Eivor says 'After all that she WANTS to be Red?'

Eivor boggles at the thought.

Isela says 'I know, right? I was surprised at first too'

Eivor shakes her head in disbelief.

Isela says 'but I guess she had some first-hand experience of what he went through and doesn't want
other men to go insane'

Eivor says 'Oh... so he was quite far along then...'

Isela nods sadly.

Isela says 'I guess it affects all men differently... Some can last quite a while, but others can't'

Eivor says 'A shame...but necessary, poor bastards'

Eivor puts a hand over her mouth and looks around.

Isela says 'hey, have some respect for the dead!'

Eivor blushes.

Isela picks up another dish.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'alright, last one. Lay it on me'

Isela washes the dish lazily.

Eivor says 'Hmmmm...'

Eivor says 'what about Natasha?'

Isela says 'That's not funny, Eivor.'

Isela says 'Didn't you hear?'

Eivor says 'No, what?'

Isela says 'They put Natasha out of the Tower yesterday morning. She refused the arches three times.'

Eivor cringes in terror!

Eivor says 'That keeps me up at night, better to remain a Novice forever then be put out like that'

Isela nods at Eivor.

Isela says 'I guess she just couldn't face it.'

Eivor says 'Many can't even try running away... you know they caught a runaway last month, right?'

Isela scoops up the scrubber again as Laras gives her a look.

Isela says 'oh really? Anyone I know?'

Eivor nods in agreement.

Isela says 'I've heard there's no point in running away. They'll always find you'

Eivor says 'They always do, yes. It was Kirstein, although she refuses to talk about it'

Eivor says 'Can't say that I blame her.'

Isela says 'Kirstein! She was so happy here. I wonder what happened'

Eivor says 'Well, I heard she got all starry eyed when she saw the nightflower display'

Eivor says 'decided then and there that she was going to become an Illuminator'

Eivor says 'Can you beleive that?'

Isela shakes her head in disbelief.

Eivor says 'Leave the White Tower to join that lot...'

Isela says 'Aren't those guys super secretive?'

Eivor arches an eyebrow.

Isela says 'also... what in the Light, Kirstein? You can create fireworks with the One Power you oaf'

Eivor says 'You think she was going to let that stop her?'

Isela says 'maybe she thought she could be the best Illuminator by enhancing them with weaves'

Eivor says 'Well...she wasn't very strong... She was in class the other day sweating like a pig
trying to light a candle'

Isela thinks about that a moment.

Isela says 'I heard Mariwhyn already figured out how to ignore the heat and cold.'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor wipes the sweat off her brow with her forearm.

Isela says 'a trick of the mind, she said, but I still think it must have something to do with the One
Power'

Eivor says 'Boy I could really use that right now...'

Eivor ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela wipes sweat from her brow, leaving suds there instead.

Isela nods at Eivor.

Eivor says 'I always assumed it was I suppose, a trick of the mind she said?'

Eivor looks up and nods to herself.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'Yeah. Let's give her the oath rod and see if she changes her story.'

Isela blinks her eyes innocently.

Eivor snickers softly.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'oh Light, is it second bell already?'

Eivor says 'Gosh I'm hungry...'

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Isela says 'Accepted Tunisha is going to wring my neck if I'm late again.'

Isela wipes her hands on a nearby towel.

Eivor scrubs the dirty dishes in the sink.

Eivor says 'Ok well it was great catching up with you! I'm going to peruse around here and see if
there is any food leftover'

Isela nods at Eivor.

Isela says 'You too, sister!'

Isela smiles happily.

Smiling to her self reminiscing her days as a novice Tolza slipped out of the kitchen still un-noticed.
