~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hall of Inferences of the White Ajah
The oval room is entirely filled by a single immense table, ornately
carved chairs with white leather cushions placed around it at equidistant
intervals. Behind each chair sits a large blackboard, smeared with chalk
dust accumulated over many years. Slender soaring windows pierce the high
walls, stretching to the distant ceiling. A large arch to the north leads
out of the chamber, heavy wooden doors swinging on cast-iron hinges.

A chair made of red oak rests next to the table.
Lady Firimei the Honored Sister is standing here.
A silver-haired Aes Sedai sits here, reading.
A White Sister walks by, deep in thought.
Carlinya Sedai stands here, pale of skin and cold of manner as the white fringe on her
shawl.

Penzei curtseys to her audience.

Firimei nods in agreement.

Penzei says 'Greetings Firimei Sedai'

Firimei gestures at the door with her hand.

The door silently swings shut and lock with a soft *click*.

Firimei inclines her head 'Greetings Accepted, what may I assist you with?'

Firimei looks at Penzei.

Penzei says 'Well, it's not often I get to pick the brain of a White Ajah Sedai, especially
with how busy they are!'

Firimei allows a slight smile to spread.

Firimei says 'Indeed, we have been rather busy meditation lately. So I see you are
apprenticed to the Yellow Ajah?'

Penzei says 'I am and I very much enjoy the work I get to do, helping the sick and injured'

Firimei nods in agreement.

Firimei says 'All work for the White Tower is admirable, we all play our own part in
keeping the world at a balance.'

Firimei leans forward slightly 'So what do you wish to pick per say?'

Firimei arches a brow.

Penzei says 'I understand that the White Ajah shys away from the more social of the studies
about what Aes Sedai do out in the world but yet seek to obtain the real truth of
things... the wisdom gained from the White Ajah is reknowned yet often overlooked... I was
wondering if you could enlighten me on how you go about these things ?'

Firimei smirks.

Penzei says 'I, myself, have only had limited contact with Alison Sedai'

Firimei says 'For one may I suggest a brevity in your speech, you seem intelligent and
aware [ooc the ...in a sentence is fine for chat etc]. Yes we do not find the need for
socializing, although it is not to say it could be logical to interact more.'

Penzei suddenly produces a leather binder with parchment and a quill and begins scribbling
some notes vigorously.

Firimei says 'Often we of the White appear unaware of actual day to day happenings.
Likewise the Browns seem deeply unaware due to researching. I can though confirm we are
always aware, although mundane happenings are not of interest.'

Firimei chuckles politely.

Penzei nods in agreement.

Penzei taps the quill to her cheek momentarily in thought...

Penzei says 'How do you choose what to focus your time on ?'

Firimei leans back and settles her gaze upon you.

Penzei says 'For example, I find it very natural setting up a battlefield triage station in
Fal Dara, as things are fairly clear cut when dealing with the sick and the wounded...'

Firimei says 'Well to focus on one thing can be troubling, it helps to stand back from the
picture and choose a focus in order. It can be said one can not see the wood for the
trees.'

Firimei nods in agreement.

Penzei nods continuing to writing in her notes.

Firimei says 'That is of course what the Whites so fondly describe as logical, though that
word irks me when overused.'

Penzei giggles.

Firimei says 'You need to be where you are needed the most and assess the situation as it
goes.'

Firimei arches a brow delicately ' I take it you wish to be a field medic of sorts? Those
battles can change quickly, so you need to pre plan for even when plans seem in disarray.'

Penzei shakes her head back and forth momentarily...

Firimei coughs slightly

Penzei says 'My apogloies Firimei Sedai... where were we...'

Firimei says 'You were telling me of the role of field medic.'

Penzei says 'Ahh yes!'

Firimei studies you.

Penzei says 'That has been a focus of mine and with the help of Kathala and Alexis Sedai, I
have been quite successful both in the Fal Dara and the Blight and now with the help of
the Wisdoms I brokered an agreement with should any pestilence or malady befall the small
communities they shall send word they require assistance!'

Firimei arches a brow 'Indeed that is an achievement, considering there has always been a
slight distance with Wisdoms and the Yellow Ajah. You did well Accepted, how long have you
been under the tutor ledge of the Yellow?

Penzei says 'Quite some time now, I did spend some time as part of the research team delving
into the lost "Heal" weave as most Yellow Apprentices do, unfortunately we have yet to
make a breakthrough.'

Firimei nods slightly.

Firimei says 'Anything worthwhile takes time remember that.'

Penzei nods, slowly jotting down the wisdom that was just given like she is going to use
that later.

Firimei chuckles politely.

Firimei says 'So you wanted a general feel of the Whites did you? I understand we are an
elusive bunch?!''

Penzei says 'Anything that helps me be more well rounded, for example before I approached the
wisdoms I sought heavy counsel from the Gray Ajah!'

Firimei nods in agreement.

Firimei says 'All knowledge is worth while, though you may be surprised not all Whites are
stone cold. Emotions are not to be out of control, yet there is a need for them. A clear
mind however is recommended for everything.'

Penzei says 'Something I struggled with as a novice for sure!'

Firimei nods in agreement.

Firimei says 'As it happens so did I, you don't fit to an Ajah immediately. However one
desires a certain path, it is with training and growth that it comes to you.'

Penzei says 'I whole heartedly agree I cannot even begin to list all of the things I've
learned from all of the Ajah's. It was a tough choice to choose to pursue the Yellow
Ajah.'

Firimei says 'It is a tough choice to be in the White Tower, but one to be proud of. Life
is not easy and the Tower won't be on its initiates.'

Penzei listens intently, jotting down a note or two here and there.

Firimei narrows her eyes somewhat'I will suggest something Penzei, try to interact with
everyone [RP wise and send longs] You are committed and truly seem to care.'

Penzei nods in agreement.

Penzei says 'I will do my best!'

Firimei says 'Now do you wish anything else from me, now I am actively back I can keep an
eye on you?''

Firimei smiles slightly.

Penzei giggles.

Penzei says 'No Firimei Sedai, should you require anything please feel free to send for me and
I will do whatever I can '

Firimei clambers to her feet.

Penzei is already standing.

Penzei curtseys to her audience.

Firimei says 'You may depart in the light Accepted. Keep up the good work.'

Firimei gestures with her hand.

The door smoothly swings open.

Penzei says 'Thank you, Firimei Sedai!'
