Prya says 'If you wash a few of the stacks, that effort does suffice'

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.

Some walking to the library here...
Sorting Racks
A small room lies before the head librarians office to the north, which is
closed off by a low gate. Several books are stacked on a small rack before
the counter, and a number of low, wheeled book carts clutter the room,
containing books in need of filing. An end-table in the southwest corner
contains a few worn-looking books, including one whose binding is in
tatters. An exit north leads back into the hallway. A sign is posted over a
bookshelf detailing instructions for book re-shelving.

Lexiane says 'But I think it is.'
Prya says 'Perhaps it was, but perhaps it wasn't'
Lexiane says 'I think she likes fire too much, if you get what I mean.'
Prya says 'When you are first learning to weave you can do things that are quite unexpected'
Prya says 'It may have been any of you present, or even someone nearby in another room'

Prya says 'You may have burned your own hair'
Prya says 'Were you holding Saidar when it happened?'

Lexiane says 'No!'
Lexiane says 'She burnt my hair!'
Lexiane says 'I can't believe you are blaming ME'

Lexiane says 'We were lighting candles'
Prya says 'I remind you that I have not met her and she has not spoken to me'
Prya says 'Was anyone else in the room who also had a glow about them?'
Prya says 'Myrtle may have done it, but if she claims she did not perhaps it was unintentional'
Prya says 'Not having met her, I cannot judge her character'
Lexiane says 'Myrtle is just a liar.'
Prya says 'Possibly. I would love to meet her.'
Lexiane crosses her arms and juts out her lower lip in a pout.
Prya pulls a list of novices from her pack.
