Catisune and Raeza look out the window.

In which Catisune shows Raeza the view.

(Rp-lized and edited for clarity.)

**

Catisune sits in one of the large, plush chairs near the Ajah study windows.

Raeza says 'Am I interrupting?'

Catisune smiles, and genuinely, as Raeza arrives.

Catisune says 'I wish there were something to interrupt.'

Raeza offers a slight smile.

Catisune says 'But Danelle is a lush, and I am stitching.'

Danelle Sedai says 'I already started on a glass of wine. My warder needs to relax.'

Raeza chuckles politely.

Raeza says 'I thought perhaps you could show me that view you were raving about.'

Catisune's eyes drift to the windows, where the River Erinin courses below.

Catisune says 'I have wanted to show you. Will you join me?'

Raeza nods and smooths her skirts slightly.

Catisune gestures to the chair opposite her. She continues forming even stitches with her needle.

Raeza strides across the room towards the chair.

Raeza takes a seat and crosses her ankles.

Catisune looks up from her hoop 'You are well, I trust? I have not seen you.'

Raeza says 'As well as ever. Novices and reports have taken much of my time of late.'

Raeza looks over to Catisune, "And you?"

Catisune smiles, and the gesture touches her large, watery eyes 'You will give Sheriam a run for her money, I think.'

Catisune says 'I am well. I have taken an apprentice.'

Catisune taps her lip thoughtfully.

Catisune says 'I think I was jealous of you.'

Raeza says 'Oh, jealous?'

Raeza contorts her face slightly, as if that is a bizarre thing to hear.

Raeza says 'Why ever for?'

Catisune says 'I only tease, of course.'

Catisune says 'But your apprentice Amilya is so facile with her words.'

Raeza softens her face, "Ah. I see."

Catisune says 'Have you any gossip for me?'

Catisune widens her large eyes intentionally.

Raeza says 'I had the thought to ask you the same.'

Raeza chuckles politely.

Catisune taps her lip thoughtfully.

Raeza says 'Who is your new apprentice by the way? You did not mention it.'

Catisune says 'I think you've met. Aelrena?'

Raeza holds up a finger.

Raeza says 'Aelrena. Yes. She spoke with me recently.'

Catisune watches Raeza's finger as if it were the most interesting thing she'd ever seen.

Raeza says 'Not surprising that she would come here.'

Raeza says 'A keen thinker, I dare say, but more suited for the Brown perhaps.'

Catisune says 'An apt pupil, to be sure.'

Catisune says 'Poets and philosophers everywhere.'

Catisune blinks her large, watery eyes.

Raeza subtly shifts the hairpin holding up her bun, before putting her hand back in her lap.

Catisune blinks again.

Catisune looks at Raeza.

This short, handsome woman keeps her dark hair in a loose bun held up with
a garnet hairpin. Her face, mature yet smooth, wears a dispassionate
expression, but there is a focused look in her pale green eyes.

Raeza is in excellent condition.
Raeza is healthy.

Catisune says 'I was right.'

Raeza says 'Right about what?'

Catisune amends 'About it favoring your coloring.'

Raeza offers a slight smile.

Raeza says 'Well I considered your words carefully. And in the end, I concluded you were right as well.'

Catisune says 'Logic wins the day again.'

Raeza adds quietly, "As you can see."

Catisune scrutinizes Raeza a second time.

This short, handsome woman keeps her dark hair in a loose bun held up with
a garnet hairpin. Her face, mature yet smooth, wears a dispassionate
expression, but there is a focused look in her pale green eyes.

Raeza is in excellent condition.
Raeza is healthy.

Catisune says 'I can.'

Raeza stands and walks over to the window.

Raeza says 'You do have a lovely view from this part of the Tower. You were right about that as well.'

Catisune stows her hoop to one side of the chair as she rises to join Raeza at the window.

Catisune says 'I have a keen eye, after all.'

Raeza looks into Catisune's eyes for a while.

Raeza says 'You do.'

Catisune says 'So what will you do with all these charges? I imagine I will see more than one new white shawl soon.'

Raeza looks away as if snapped back to reality.

Catisune breaks the eye contact somewhat dolorously as her attention returns to the river.

Raeza clears her throat.

Raeza says 'Well, yes. There seems to be much interest in our Ajah of late.'

Raeza says 'We are happy to see it.'

Raeza says 'Individual study can get boring after a while.'

Raeza offers a slight smile.

Catisune returns it but amplified.

Raeza says 'I look forward to getting these girls into the Hall of Inferences for some debates soon.'

Catisune says 'Perhaps I can judge.'

Catisune says 'With you, of course.'

Raeza says 'Yes, I would like that. I mean it would be a logical choice to have someone with your...intellect.'

Catisune nods, the censorious bun atop her head swaying.

Raeza says 'Well, I had better return to my reports.'

Raeza strides back towards the door.

Catisune catches up to Raeza quickly.

Catisune's hand grazes Raeza's in her attempt to catch up.

Catisune says 'Thank you for coming by, sister. I was so glad for the visit.'

Catisune says 'Light illumine you, of course.'

Catisune blinks her large, watery eyes.

Raeza turns, and pauses a moment, with a slight smile.

Raeza says 'The pleasure was all mine.'

The Wheel of Time turns...

Raeza says 'I hope to see you again soon. Sister.'

Catisune opens the door for Raeza.

Raeza rubs Catisune's arm slightly before turning to leave the room.

Raeza leaves south.
