Meeting Room of the Gray Ajah
Large, leaded glass windows surround the room on all sides, save the
southern where a large doorway leads out into a antechamber. The room
itself is dominated by a large wooden table around which sits at least
fifty matching chairs, something close to a record for the White Tower. In
the middle of the table are an assortment of unused parchments, quill pens
and stoppered ink jars. A small stand off to one side of the room holds a
large number of glass cups and a large pitcher of chilled water. An
inscription in fine lettering is etched upon the windows.

A chair made of red oak rests next to the table. [4]
A large round table built from black oak dominates the center of the room.
Tigiria al'Raln, Fledgling Novice is standing here.
Penzei Perets, Tower Accepted, Yellow Ajah Apprentice is standing here.
A silver-haired Aes Sedai sits here, reading.
A Gray Sister walks here, considering her options.
Annoura Larisen is here, weighing your words.

Chloro glides through the room to her high-backed chair at the table motioning for the girls to also sit.

Penzei sits down on a stout oaken chair.

Tigiria sits back down heavily in the seat she was just in.

Tigiria sits down on a stout oaken chair.

Chloro says 'Now Tigiria please tell Accepted Penzei what this meeting is for. '

Tigiria says 'Accepted, I have asked that Chloro Sedai consider my request for more responsibility.'

Penzei listens intently.

Chloro says 'Please also state your history with this matter.'

Tigiria says 'I had asked previously, and Chloro Sedai deemed me unready and asked me to receive some lessons from other Aes Sedai before asking again.'

Chloro says 'We will discuss that after.'

Tigiria says 'As you wish, Aes Sedai.'

Chloro says 'However what Tigiria states is correct. What have you learned in this time Novice?'

Tigiria says 'I have learned the importance of the chores and why we do them.'

Tigiria says 'I have learned some meditation from Seaine Sedai of the Whites.'

Tigiria says 'I have learned more about what Everesta Sedai calls 'nuance'.'

Penzei grins slightly at the mention.

Tigiria says 'I have met Ruby Sedai and Jenda Sedai.'

Tigiria says 'And understand a little more about their roles.'

Tigiria says 'And how they compose themselves.'

Chloro says 'I am glad you took my request to heart. What has been your most important lesson so far from your understanding?'

Tigiria says 'That it is important to act in a manner befitting one's role, lest people think poorly of you.'

Penzei says 'Couldn't have said that better'

Chloro nods in agreement a warm smile on her mask of Aes sedai calm. "That lesson will serve you in all walks of life."

Chloro says 'I pose this question to you novice. What does it mean to become wearied?'

Tigiria says 'It means that I am one step further from being a novice and one step closer to becoming an Aes Sedai.'

Chloro says 'Is that all?'

Tigiria says 'Which is all to say, I am no longer as new as I once was.'

Penzei crosses her arms over the front of her dress.

Tigiria says 'I think you mistake me. Becoming an Aes Sedai is a tremendous responsibility.'

Chloro allows her gray shawl to slip from her shoulders to the crook of her arms as she leans forward ever so slightly. "That second answer I can accept."

Tigiria says 'I just mean that if I am moving towards that goal, I would hope to more resemble it.'

Chloro says 'Have you thought of an Ajah yet that sparks your interest Tigiria?'

Tigiria says 'I think that I have found a few that I may not be able to stomach, today, Aes Sedai.'

Penzei says 'How so ?'

Tigiria says 'I...blood?'

Tigiria gives a pained look to Penzei.

Chloro nods and looks to Penzei before looking back to the novice.

Tigiria says 'I think maybe the Gray or the White or Brown may be more suited to my stomach, Aes Sedai.'

Penzei says 'We are servants of all, even the diplomatic Gray Ajah and the logical White Ajah are out in the world facing dangers... the browns often travel the world alone and in secret'

Tigiria says 'But maybe I can work on my constitution.'

Penzei says 'For their research ofcourse'

Chloro thinks this over a moment before looking to the novice. "One thing that has rung true for any woman who now wears the shawl is that no one Ajah makes an Aes Sedai. All seven Ajahs develop a girl to her fullest potential in tandem."

Penzei smiles at Chloro Sedai as if she had heard that before.

Chloro says 'It seems as you journey forward you will need more training with the Yellow Ajah to overcome this fear.'

Tigiria says 'Very well, Aes Sedai.'

Chloro says 'Sister, please judge Tigiria in her potential to advance'

Chloro looks to annoura and breaths deeply her calm not breaking.

Chloro says 'Sister, please judge Tigiria in her potential to advance in the tower'

Penzei grins slightly at the mention.

Chloro says 'A moment girls'

Penzei says 'Ofcourse, take your time Chloro Sedai'

Chloro says 'Sister judge the readiness of Tigiria to advance in the tower'

Annoura Larisen inclines her head, saying 'As you wish, Chloro Sedai.'

Annoura Larisen says 'I shall consult with Alyssa the scribe on this matter.'

Annoura Larisen leaves for a moment, then returns.

Annoura Larisen says 'Tigiria has the potential for rank 2.'

Chloro nods to Annoura, "Thank you sister."

Chloro says 'Sister let us recognise novice Tigiria'

Annoura Larisen says 'It is done.'

Chloro narrate's 'The White Tower grows in strength as Tigiria rises to Wearied Novice!'

Tigiria smiles faintly.

Penzei says 'And so are you following the path !'

Chloro says 'As you see Tigiria, if you put in the work, reward can follow.'

Tigiria says 'I see, Aes Sedai'

Catisune narrates 'Let all who walk in the Light rejoice!'

Tigiria says 'If I may be dismissed, please? I am very tired after this long day.'

Chloro says 'As you venture forward Wearied Novice, I am assigning Accepted Penzei as your tutor in the art of healing. We all possess some strength even if it is small.'

Tigiria nods at you.

Chloro says 'For now you are dismissed. '

Tigiria clambers to her feet.

The door smoothly swings open.

Tigiria curtseys gracefully.

Tigiria leaves east. >>
