Study of the Brown Ajah
Tall, arched windows in the northern wall open to a balcony, providing a
choice view of the Erinin as it flows south from the Borderlands. Half the
seating in the room is drawn up around the windows, showing that the
occupants appreciate the panorama. The remaining seats are drawn up in
circles of six to eight, allowing Brown Sisters to discuss the furtherance
of knowledge, or new theories in an informal atmosphere. Colorful wall
hangings depicting still lifes decorate the pale white walls.

A large desk made of fine, thick wood stands across the room from here.
Catisune Sedai is standing here.
Damena Griandhe is standing here.
A silver-haired Aes Sedai sits here, reading.
A Brown Sister is here, frowning pensively.
Danelle Sedai, sitter for the Brown Ajah stands here deep in thought.

Catisune suppresses a chortle as she rises to greet Gesin.

Catisune greets Gesin with a light kiss on the cheek.

Gesin gets a handkerchief from her bag.

Aelrena has arrived from the south.

Aelrena nods in agreement.

Gesin arches an eyebrow as she wipes the sleep from her eyes.

Catisune reclaims her favored seat, shoving her hoop to one side.

Aelrena glides back into the study holding two bottles of wine which she places gingerly upon the desk.

Catisune says 'Gesin has only just awoken, so of course she wants wine too.'

Aelrena stifles a laugh behind her hand.

Gesin waves her hand in the direction of the table.

Gesin says 'No, Danelle. None for me. Please.'

Catisune says 'My sister is so popular.'

Aelrena nods quietly, then retrieves 3 wine glasses, setting them upon the table beside the bottles, popping one open to pour.

Gesin says 'quite an interesting weekend this is turning out to be. '

Gesin mutters 'Not exactly for good reasons.'

Aelrena hands both Damena and Catisune a glass of wine before she settles back into her chair at the desk in corner.

Damena sighs loudly.

Gesin nods at her.

Damena takes a sip of wine.

Catisune holds her wine glass aloft but does not yet drink.

Gesin attempts to hide herself.

Aelrena nods in agreement.

Gesin peeks from behind the desk.

Catisune sips, her large, watery eyes contemplative as her attention drifts to the River Erinin coursing outside.

Catisune's lips twitch.

Damena snickers softly.

Gesin says 'He, at let, will not be trouble today.'

Someone knocks on the carveddoor from the other side.

Damena opens the carveddoor.

Naji has arrived from the south.

Damena closes the carveddoor.

Damena says 'Hello, Sister!'

Naji says 'Greetings sisters.'

Catisune rises once more, setting her wine glass on a desk as she strides to greet Naji.

Catisune greets Naji with a light kiss on her cheek.

Aelrena sips on her wine as, as she reviews the scroll upon the desk, though her eyes dart up once the door opens.

Damena says 'Do you care to join us?'

Gesin brings her hand to her eyes and rubs deeply for a few seconds.

Damena says 'We are just having some wine and chatting.'

Someone knocks on the carveddoor from the other side.

Aelrena stands to greet Naji with a kiss upon the cheek, before resettling in the chair.

Damena motions to the wine on the table.

open carveddoor south

Mavrik has arrived from the south.

Mavrik bows deeply.
Damena closes the carveddoor.

Naji says 'I'm unsure what I have joined, but it is certainly nice to see so many of my sisters about.'

Damena looks at Mavrik.

Mavrik says 'Good day, Aes Sedai.'

Damena says 'Good day.'

Mavrik gets a dark blue tasseled spear from a backpack.

Mavrik gives you a dark blue tasseled spear.

Gesin says 'This is quite a bit of activity for the Study, I think.'

Mavrik says 'May it serve you well.'

Mavrik bows deeply.

Mavrik opens the carveddoor.

Mavrik leaves south.

The carveddoor closes quietly.

Gesin says 'What an efficient delivery system. We should take note.'

Catisune says 'Clearly. Perhaps he can help the White with logistics.'

Gesin nods her head slowly at the thought.

Catisune says, as an aside 'I have not seen Raeza in some time. I hope she's well.'

Gesin nods her head slowly at the thought.

Damena nods at Catisune.

Catisune does not quite sigh wistfully, but her attention once more returns to the river outside.

Aelrena looks up, a touch of confusion on her face, "What was that of the White and Raeza Sedai?"

Damena says 'She is probably consumed with some mathematical theorem somewhere.'

Gesin says 'I would feel remiss not to assist Maximus. But that isn't on the docet.'

Gesin says 'How long do we have, Sisters?'

Naji says 'Aye, I should also like to assist the borderguard.'

Catisune's attention settles upon Aelrena after a long moment 'Just that I haven't seen her.'

Aelrena's hand remains upon a carved tablet resting upon the desk, her hand tracing the runes.

Aelrena nods at Catisune.

Aelrena says 'Ah.'

whois maximus
Maximus Meridius, Cavalryman of Malkier is a level 50 Shienaran Lancer human.

Aelrena says 'I'm afraid that I'm still tired from my journeys, I doubt I would be much help for Maximus, though I could likely wait here if you wanted to do so.'

Catisune says 'I will be here or not when you return, but do not let that stop you. I am often here or often not.'

Catisune smiles at her own jest, lips barely quirked.

Naji says 'well, I'd feel remiss if I didn't lend a hand, good to see you sisters.'

Gesin says 'I understand.'

Naji knocks on the carveddoor.

close carveddoor south

Catisune says 'But is there any happy news?'

Catisune says 'Welcome back, sister.'

Gesin pats down her dress.

Aelrena acknowledges Gesin's return.

Aelrena nods at Catisune.

Aelrena looks at Gesin.

Clouds of dust rise from Gesin's dress.

Damena says 'Done so soon?'

Catisune says 'Were you able to assist the Lancer?'

Catisune sneezes delicately as the dust from Gesin's dress irritates her beaky nose.

Gesin says 'It is a marvel what you can accomplish with so many numbers.'

Aelrena stands from her chair and approaches Gesin, greeting her on the cheek and coughing as the dust clouds rise. Covering her mouth with her right hand, she leans down to pick a burr from the sister's skirt before sharing a small smile and returning to her seat.

Gesin glances around her and says 'What have I missed?'

Catisune says 'Oh, we were talking about Andor again.'

Gesin looks at Caatisune out of the corner of her eye.

Gesin 's rolls her eyes in a most exaggerated manner.

Aelrena nods at Gesin.

Gesin says 'One moment, I must check what color my Shawl is again.'

Aelrena says 'About my thoughts on it at this point, after only just returning to the Tower from Andor.'

Aelrena chuckles politely.

Gesin says 'No, I understand. No closure can happen if we do not speak of it.'

Gesin says 'But!'

Gesin leans in closer to her sisters.

Gesin says 'Look what I found!'

Aelrena says 'Discussion IS important, you are right.'

Aelrena's lips twitch up slightly at the corners.

Catisune says 'But discussion without action can be tedious, I am told.'

Gesin extends her covered hands to her Sisters and slowly opens them to show what it inside.

The carveddoor is opened from the other side.

Liia has arrived from the south.

Liia closes the carveddoor.

Damena peers over to Gesin's bundle.

Liia bows deeply.

Aelrena's lips twitch up slightly at the corners.

Liia says 'So MANY!'

Aelrena laughs quietly as she rises once again from her seat.

Aelrena greets Liia with a light kiss on her cheek.

Catisune rises to greet Liia, stowing her hoop to one side of her plush chair.

Liia says 'Is there something special going on?'

Aelrena moves to stand closer to Gesin, her gaze fixed upon the sister's findings.

Liia says 'Also, I believe we need more chairs.'

Liia chuckles politely.

Damena says 'We were just chatting, Sister.'

Damena says 'No special occasion. '

Gesin looks around her, wondering once again at the color of her Shawl.

Damena says 'I did bring up earlier that as Mother has suggested remodeling of the Ajah quarters, perhaps we could finally get some comfortable chairs in here.'

Liia smiles happily.

Gesin says 'Well, it is not a non-special occasion, either.'

Aelrena's expression brightens as she takes the small carving from the other Brown.

Liia strokes her chin thoughtfully.

Gesin smiles as her Sister takes the carved wooden idol from her.

Liia arches an eyebrow inquisitively.

Gesin says 'You will never guess where I found that.'

Aelrena says 'Ah! Perhaps a Ter'angreal, Gesin?", traces her hands down the smooth trunk of the carving, her eyes gently tracing the tree's gracefully curved boughs "Wherever DID you find it?'

whois damena
Before you stands a tall, thin woman. Though her skin is smooth, her jet
hair is streaked with white. Piercing blue eyes hold the wisdom of
countless days spent in dimly-lit library corners.

Gesin blinks her eyes slowly.

Catisune says 'You found it in your pocket?'

Damena points at herself. 'Did I give it to you and forget?'

Gesin senses Liia connecting to the True Source.

Aelrena appears to be entranced by the item, flipping it gently in her hands as she examines it closely.

Catisune says 'Let me see.'

Gesin says 'Those all sound very plausible.'

Liia gestures briefly at Liia, who now appears more impressive somehow.

Gesin rummages a hand deeper into her pocket.

Gesin's eyes widen.

Aelrena offers the item to Catisune, her eyes still passing along its surface.

Gesin says 'I found something else!'

Gesin pulls out a rather large clump of lint.

Gesin says 'I suppose this isn't very useful.'

Catisune examines the carving with spindly fingers, clucking to herself. She eventually returns the carving to Aelrena.

Catisune says 'Let me see.'

Catisune grabs the lint from Gesin.

Damena says 'So, you did find it in your pocket?'

Gesin beams proudly and says 'I have rather large pockets.'

Gesin pulls the inside of her pockets out, showing her sisters proudly.

Catisune says 'Aelrena, what do you suspect of its provenance?'

Aelrena takes the carving back, delicately handling it as she strokes her hands along the surface.

Catisune's lips twitch at the corners as she observes Gesin, as good as a grin.

Damena says 'I am mostly impressed that Gesin found a seamstress who will make pockets for her dress.'

Aelrena tuts quietly, her touch upon the item becoming more probing as she pokes at different parts, "What was that Catisune?", her tone absent and distracted.

Aelrena says 'You said something of pockets?'

Gesin says 'It is a wonder what good Tar Valon silver will afford. It has not failed me yet.'

Catisune says 'Pockets & provenance, dear. What do you make of the carving?'

Aelrena ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Gesin turns her head at the mention of the carving.

Aelrena says 'In truth anything that I could say without further investigation would be pure guessing, but perhaps it's meant to induce calm? Or it can speed the growth of some plants?'

Gesin motions with a hand toward the desk.

Catisune says 'Is it a relic of the Age of Legends or sometime after?'

Gesin says 'Here. Put it on the desk so we can observe.'

Catisune abandons all pretense of returning to her embroidery hoop as she joins Gesin near the desk.

Aelrena says 'I can think of at least one Ter'angreal here in the tower that does the first, and the second of course is merely to do with its shape'

Gesin walks over to the edge of the room and picks up a thin metal probe from a shelf.

Gesin gently probes Aelrena's upper arm.

Aelrena places the smooth wooden carving of the tree upon the desk, pushing all of her research materials to a corner, the carved tablet hanging dangerously over the edge.

Gesin nods at the probe in satisfaction.

Aelrena blushes.

Catisune chortles quietly to herself as she leans over the desk.

Aelrena says 'Apologies, I was rather excited, I hadn't meant to prevent you all from looking at it yourselves.'

Gesin slowly brings the probe closer to the wooden carving of a tree.

Catisune watches Gesin's probe with great interest, her large, watery eyes blinking.

Gesin sets down the probe right before touching the carving.

Aelrena moves to the other side of the desk, absently loading her materials back into her already overflowing backpack as she watches the small tree.

Gesin turns to her sisters and says 'I wasn't expecting to find this in Far Madding.'

Aelrena puts a thick dusty tome in a backpack.
Aelrena puts a pockmarked slate covered in runes in a backpack.
Aelrena puts a tattered scroll in a backpack.
Aelrena puts a book on the complexities of the shadow in a backpack.
Aelrena puts a book on aridhols fall in a backpack.
Aelrena puts a book on the ten nations in a backpack.
Aelrena puts a book on the trolloc wars in a backpack.

Catisune says 'Hmm. Far Madding? And what were you doing there, sister?'


Aelrena nods at Catisune.

Gesin watches Aelrena's documents with interest.

Aelrena says 'My own thoughts exactly.'

Gesin tilts her head at Catisune.

Gesin says 'That is a very good question.'

Gesin stroker her chin in thought.

Aelrena says 'I don't suppose you merely went for the stew? I seem to recall a tavern keep with amazing stew...'

Gesin waves a hand in Damena's direction.

Gesin says 'I was picking up a package for Damena here.'

Aelrena says 'What was her name?'

Catisune's attention turns to Damena.

Catisune says 'Small hopes can grow surprising fruit, yes.'

Gesin says 'Did you find it, Sister? I think I put it on the chair over there.'

Aelrena ponders her words, her expression quirked in thought before she shrugs and turns her gaze to Damena.

Catisune cants her head to one side 'I believe that's what they say in Far Madding.'

Catisune says 'I myself can hardly bear to visit.'

Gesin motions vaguely with her hand towards a chair-turned-table.

Damena moves over to a chair and shakes her head.

Damena says 'Not this chair.'

Damena looks around the room, eyeing each chair suspiciously.

Gesin says 'You do not visit, for the obvious reasons I take it? Or because the whole lower half of the city smells of fish?'

Damena says 'Aha!'

Damena moves to a plush chair near the window and picks up a delicately wrapped package.

Damena says 'Thank you, Sister.'

Gesin smiles happily at Damena.

Gesin says 'We do not have so many chairs as the Gray. It has to be around here somewhere.'

Catisune says offhandedly, 'Though, if I could find a well . . .'

Damena shakes the package, producing a metallic tinkle.

Catisune turns to Damena 'Am I imposing if I ask what's in the package?'

Aelrena glances to Catisune, her expression briefly thoughful before her gaze refixates upon the package in Damena's hands.

The carveddoor is opened from the other side.

Damena hands the package to Catisune.

Naji has arrived from the south.

Damena says 'Feel free to look through it yourself, Sister.'

Liia says 'Apologies as I have to bow out for a little bit. There are a couple of books I am trying to locate in the library. I'll hopefully return soon.'

Catisune accepts the package with spindly fingers as she drifts to greet Naji.

Liia opens the carveddoor.
Liia leaves south.
The carveddoor closes quietly.

Catisune shakes the package, reproducing that tinkling noise.

Catisune says 'Can I open it?'

Gesin leans in towards the package.

A large desk made of fine, thick wood stands across the room from here.
Lady Naji Iris Shal'nara is standing here.
Damena Griandhe is standing here.
Catisune Sedai is standing here.
Aelrena Solyan is standing here.
A silver-haired Aes Sedai sits here, reading.
A Brown Sister is here, frowning pensively.
Danelle Sedai, sitter for the Brown Ajah stands here deep in thought.

Damena says 'Of course!'

Damena says 'I don't expect you'd be able to look through it without opening it.'

Catisune says, as she continues to shake the package, apparently relishing the mystery for a moment longer 'Gesin, did Damena tell you what you were fetching?'

Aelrena spins her great serpent ring slowly, her eyebrow quirking slightly as she watches.

Gesin says 'The girl who handed it to me was quite unique. I don't think I have seen so many ribbons on a single head of hair before.'

Catisune says 'And you did not bring me any ribbons?'

Gesin emote: Gesin shakes her head at Catisune and shows empty hands.

Catisune scoffs in pantomime as she opens the package with great care, folding back the paper to reveal some sort of metal contraption.

Gesin says 'I wouldn't have known which color to bring. She had them all.'

Gesin says 'She resembled a tinker in that regard.'

Aelrena chuckles politely.

Catisune says as she fidgets with the contraption 'Brown would have suited.'

Catisune presses two places on the contraption and it seems to change shape.

Naji quietly chews at some cheese, comfortably observing from her seat.

Catisune says 'Aha. Some sort of puzzle? Is there something inside?'

Catisune places the metal puzzle next to the carving on the desk.

Gesin opens her mouth and a soft 'ooooo' sound comes out.

Gesin turns her head towards Damena in an unspoken question.

Aelrena siddles closer behind cati, craning her head to peer closer at the puzzle.

Catisune squints as she analyzes the interlocking pieces of metal. She presses it again, and it once more changes shape.

Damena says 'A most clever design, I think you'll agree.'

Damena holds her hand out for the puzzle.

Catisune scoops the puzzle back up and hands it to Damena.

Gesin says 'Quite a clever contraption you acquired, sister.'

Catisune murmurs 'Is it protecting something inside?'

Aelrena arches an eyebrow.

Gesin says 'Or perhaps it is safeguarding a letter to our dear sister?'

Naji says 'a tantalising possibility.'

Gesin peers at damena closely.

Aelrena nods in agreement.

Damena moves some pieces in a specific way and pushes on the side, opening the puzzle to reveal a delicate golden necklace with a crystal charm.

Damena pulls the necklace out of the puzzle box and hands it to Catisune. 'You mentioned interest in a well, Sister?'

Catisune does not quite squeal--Aes Sedai do not squeal--but she seems impressed.

Catisune says 'You clever thing.'

Aelrena follows the movement of the puzzle with her eyes, hey eyebrow's raising further at the second mention of a well.

Gesin clicks her tongue as she leans back in her chair.

Catisune is surrounded by the trademark nimbus of saidar as she pulls some of the power from the well.

Naji says 'A rare piece indeed.'

Aelrena nods in agreement.

Catisune weaves flows of air and water to chill her own wine, which has been languishing on the desk next to the wooden carving.

Damena says 'It does not hold much, but my eyes and ears in Far Madding told me about it, and I thought it would be great to bring it to the Tower.'

Aelrena nods in agreement.

Aelrena says 'Quite useful, I suspect.'

Catisune says 'It could mean the difference between life and death, in fact.'

Catisune returns the necklace with the charm to Damena.

Gesin says 'Is it authentic? A wonder what finds its way to Far Madding.'

Damena says 'That, I am unsure about.'

Aelrena's eyes have returned to the carving upon the desk, her mouth quirking to one side.

Gesin brandishes her probe in one hand.

Damena says 'I had a blacksmith design the puzzle box to hide it, or anything else, in.'

Catisune taps her lip thoughtfully.

Damena deftly moves the pieces of puzzle, reforming it.

Damena says 'I think it is quite difficult for a layman to figure this puzzle out.'

Catisune says 'You must put me in touch with this blacksmith, for I would love one too.'

Damena hands the box to Aelrena.

Damena says 'What do you think?'

Gesin nods to the group gathered about the Study.

Gesin picks at a piece of straw on Aelrena's dress.

Aelrena takes the puzzle into her hands, gently testing the pieces before pulling it apart in a similar manner to Damena

Gesin turns a piece of straw about in her hand.

Aelrena says 'I would agree, I'm not certain that I'd have gotten it without seeing you do it yourself.'

Aelrena's lips twitch up slightly at the corners.

Gesin places a piece of straw on top of the metal puzzle box.

Catisune says 'Has someone been in a hay loft?'

Gesin turns towards Catisune with concern.

Catisune examines Aelrena with the same scrutiny she'd brought to bear on the puzzle.

Aelrena holds the pieces in a loose pile cupped within her palms, and she frowns down at it.

Gesin says 'Are you allergies acting up, Sister?'

Catisune says 'You know I am sensitive.'

Aelrena says 'I'm not certain I can put it back together though", grin apologetically as she offers the pile back to Damena, "If you'd like it back...?"'

Catisune taps the side of her hawkish nose.

Damena sighs loudly.

Aelrena dips her head in chagrin toward the elder sister.

Damena says 'I'm not sure why I trusted someone newly shawled with such a delicate piece of equipment.'

Damena grabs the pieces in her hands, arranging them very precisely.

Damena moves her hands deftly, putting the pieces together with a loud click.

Gesin picks up the wooden carving, and runs her fingers along its branches.

Catisune has drifted back to Gesin's side and also studies the carving.

Aelrena's lips twitch, though her eyes have already returned to the carving that Gesin has picked up.'

Aelrena grumbles under her breath about certain people.

Naji says 'It is a comfort to know that if the last battle consists of a series of puzzles, we shall be ably prepared.'

Damena says 'Some of us will be, anyway.'

Damena glares at Aelrena.

Gesin says 'The vendor said this was made out of driftwood, bleached white by the sun.'

Naji nods at Damena.

Catisune stifles a laugh that ends up showing mostly in her large, watery eyes, crinkling at the corners.

Aelrena looks at Damena.

Gesin turns the carving over in her hand looking for seams or imperfections.

Aelrena says 'I do apologize, Sister. My attention was focused upon the carving when you put the puzzle back together the first time.'

Naji says 'Poor dear, a deft mind no doubt, but sausages for fingers.'

Naji places her hand on Aelrena's shoulder comfortingly.

Aelrena grumbles under her breath about certain people.

Catisune says 'But have you had much trouble laundering the shawls?'

Aelrena says 'More the attention span of a bee, one might say.'

Gesin raises the carving in front of her, causing the branches to softly poke Aelrena in jest.

Aelrena says 'Trouble, not for the most part no.'

Catisune says 'I thought I was going to have to conscript Tolza to assist you with you gone so long in Caemlyn.'

Aelrena takes a step away from Gesin, her eyes still upon the carving.

Aelrena's lips twitch up slightly at the corners.

Gesin smirks in self-satisfaction.

Catisune says 'But I suppose shawls could teach us patience, for they do not beg to be washed. I simply must beg you to wash them.'

Aelrena glances to the sitter, a smirk upon her face "I suppose that was one bonus to so many of you being so sedentary of late, I haven't had to launder as many shawls as I might have otherwise.

Damena removes her shawl from her shoulders with her free hand.

Damena says 'That reminds me.'

Aelrena stifles a laugh behind her hand.

Damena hands the shawl to Aelrena.

Catisune stops using a brown fringed shawl.

Gesin says 'Yes. I am glad that we teach patience in Shawl Laundering. That is a lesson that that isn't often given to Accepted.'

Catisune gives a brown fringed shawl to Aelrena.

Catisune says 'Mine too, dear.'

Damena says 'Be sure not to shrink it. This is my favorite shawl.'

Gesin rolls her eyes in sarcasm.

Naji smoothly removes her shawl and throws it at Aelrena in one swift motion.

Damena says 'It needs to be hand-washed in cool water.'

Catisune says 'Our traditions keep us a close sisterhood, yes.'

Damena says 'And not the dirty water from the stream outside, mind!'

Aelrena accepts the shawls, folding them both neatly and tucking them into her pouch.

Catisune says 'And do not fall into the Erinin either. We have only just gotten you back, after all.'

Aelrena looks at Damena.

Aelrena says 'I'd never dream of it, Damena.'

Gesin says 'it is a tradition I would expect from the Blue.'

Aelrena smirks.

Damena says 'No washing them in Laras' sink either.'

Damena says 'Much too much grease in there.'

Catisune says 'I wish there were more girls about to bring us snacks.'

Aelrena says 'Surely I'll be certain they're cleaned to your exacting specifications.'

Aelrena dips her head to Damena.

Gesin searches around for the instructions on how to summon attendants to the Study.

Aelrena hums quietly as she smirks to herself, though her eyes once again return to the carving in Gesin's hands before she shakes her head.

Aelrena says 'I'll be interested to hear if you all figure out what that one does.'

Aelrena's lips twitch up slightly at the corners.

Catisune says 'Aelrena, have you considered taking a warder? It might serve you since you are not quite so . . . what was the word you used? . . . oh, yes . . . sedentary . . . as some of your elder sisters.'

Damena says 'Sisters, I fear I must take to my quarters.'

Damena says 'Being awake for so long is truly startling to these old bones.'

Aelrena's eyes widen slightly at the question, and her gaze turns back to the Brown sitter.

Damena says 'It was a pleasure to see you all though.'

Damena opens the carveddoor.

Catisune moves to exchange brief farewells with Damena.

Damena leaves south.

The carveddoor closes quietly.

Gesin holds out the carving, inviting others to take it.

Aelrena says 'I've... considered it I suppose, though the Gaidin have been almost as sedentary as some of us, of late.'

Catisune says 'Our numbers dwindle . . . so few initiates. A troubling sign.'

Naji says 'All teachers; no students.'

Aelrena looks between the other sisters and the proferred relic, clearly waiting to see if one of the others will take it first.

Catisune says 'Yes, Naji, I fear you're right.'

Catisune says 'I wish Aelrena to take an apprentice, but I am not sure of most of the current crop. I rarely see them about.'

Aelrena chuckles politely.

Aelrena says 'Now that I've returned to the Tower I'll keep my eye out.'

Aelrena nods at Catisune.

Gesin reachs in the bookshelf and pulls out a sheet of paper.

Aelrena says 'Though I've yet to see any of the initiates that I thought would fit within the Brown, some of them seem... bull-headed.'

Gesin says 'I don't think we need an Apprentice just to have one. That leads us to some obvious complications.'

Aelrena nods in agreement.

Catisune says 'Agreed.'

Gesin says 'Perhaps Accepted Sarenna if she came back around.'

Aelrena says 'I would rather agree, but keeping an eye out won't hurt us, I think.'

Aelrena nods at Gesin.

Aelrena says 'She was in fact, one of the few I thought would fit within us.'

Gesin nods at Naji, sharing a secret.

Gesin says 'Some do not need glasses yet, it seems.'

Aelrena says 'Now, I'm afraid that I'll need to take my leave for a time, I've an appointment to teach a class on the Old Tongue.'

Catisune says 'Has anyone seen my warder? She was supposed to be bringing me books.'

Catisune says 'Oh, fine. I'll walk you out.'

Catisune says 'Light illumine my sisters. I am glad to see all of you, and together.'

Naji says 'Well, it seems like the getting is good.'

Aelrena kisses each of her sisters on the cheek as she glides toward the door, the illusion of grace spoiled by the bulging backpack and pouch.

Naji says 'good to see you sisters.'
