A slice of life near Tar Valon's fountain

Post by Nevirha » Mon May 22, 2023 3:10 pm

Nevirha and Erulisse discuss the potential a famous sword is ter'angreal, then help a novice through some of her struggles.

POV: Nevirha
Main characters: Nevirha, Erulisse, Flandre

Tower Square
This side of the square is the southern section of the Tower Square.
In the center is the walled off White Tower. To the south a large
boulevard opens up leading to the Southharbor. To the north you see
the southern gate of the Tower grounds. The square continues east
and west.
A large banner rests here, depicting a map of Tar Valon.
[ obvious exits: N E S W ]
The corpse of a chicken is lying here.
A marble bench, flecked with gold and bronze, adorns the floor.
An oil lamp, set in a steel cage, hangs from a high wooden pole.
An elaborately sculpted marble fountain splashes merrily.
A stout wooden barrel stands nearby.
A city lamplighter stands nearby, attending his duties.
A Tower Guard watches for signs of trouble.
|1| A gray palfrey prances skittishly nearby.
A young Tower Guard is on duty here.

Erulisse has arrived from the east, riding a gray palfrey.

Erulisse stops riding a gray palfrey.

Nevirha says 'Good day, Sister.'

Erulisse greets Nevirha with a light kiss on the cheek.

Nevirha smiles kindly at Erulisse.

A Tower Guard has arrived from the east.

Erulisse says 'And to you Sister'

Nevirha says 'Tar Valon seems quite quiet.'

Erulisse nods in agreement.

Erulisse says 'I believe Tolza was leading an expedition to recover the sword Justice'

Nevirha says 'Sounds quite exciting.'

Erulisse says 'We were debating whether it is a ter'angreal and thus properly Tower property'

Nevirha taps her chin in thought.

Nevirha says 'There does seem to be some credence to it being ter'angreal.'

Nevirha leans on the edge of the fountain.

Erulisse nods in agreement.

Nevirha says 'Have the Browns thoroughly examined it?'

Erulisse says 'I don't believe so'

Erulisse says 'Certainly I have never laid hands on it'

Nevirha nods in agreement.

Nevirha says 'It would be an interesting discovery if it is proven to be ter'angreal.'

Erulisse nods in agreement.

A Tower Guard has arrived from the south.

Erulisse says 'I suppose there is some value in us lending it out to worthy warriors'

Nevirha says 'Indeed. It is a great weapon for the armies of the Light.'

Nevirha says 'Though if it is ter'angreal, it may also present some drawbacks.'

Nevirha shrugs her shoulders slightly.

Nevirha says 'I was never much good at understanding ter'angreal, I must admit.'

Erulisse says 'Studying it might give us some insight into how such weapons were made'

Erulisse says 'Though given the oaths the lessons would be somewhat abstract'

Flandre calls for the TarlomensGate to be opened.
The TarlomensGate is opened from the other side.

Flandre has arrived from the north.

The TarlomensGate closes quietly.

Flandre curtseys gracefully.

Erulisse nods at Flandre.

Erulisse looks at Flandre.

Nevirha smiles kindly at Flandre.

Nevirha says 'Good day, novice.'

Flandre says 'Hello Erulisse and Nevirha Sedai'

Nevirha says 'How have you been finding your studies?'

Erulisse says 'Hello Child'

A Tower Guard has arrived from the south.

Flandre stiffles around nervously.

Flandre clears her throat.

Kathos has arrived from the east, riding a gray palfrey.

Kathos leaves south riding a gray palfrey.

Flandre says 'Challenging Aes Sedai.'

Nevirha says 'What do you find to be challenging you?'

A Tower Guard leaves east.
The sun casts a golden glow over the city.

Flandre says 'But I am continuing to learn where my limits are.'

A Tower Guard leaves west.
A Tower Guard leaves south.

Erulisse says 'And what limits are you finding?'

A Tower Guard has arrived from the south.

Flandre says 'I find I am not as adept in grasping some of the weaves that SHeriam Sedai has been teaching us. As opposed to my fellow novicse.'

Nevirha emote: Nevirha nods in agreement with Erulisse.

The day has begun.

The TarlomensGate is opened from the other side.
A city lamplighter extinguishes a streetlamp.

Nevirha smooths her skirts as she sits on the fountain.

A Tower Guard has arrived from the east.

Flandre says 'The elements of water and air are sometimes a struggle for me to manage.'

A Tower Guard leaves west.
A sailor has arrived from the east.

Flandre says 'My ice appears to be more frosty water than ice.'

A Tower Guard has arrived from the east.

Nevirha nods her head in agreement.

Nevirha says 'Perhaps you can give us a bit of a demonstration.'

Flandre says 'If it would please you Aes Sedai'

A sailor leaves west.

A Tower Guard leaves south.

Nevirha emote: Nevirha motions with her hand for Flandre to demonstrate the weave.

A Tower Guard leaves east.

Erulisse watches with an oddly intent expression.

Flandre embraces saidar, you get the sense she is not very strong with the one power.

The River Lady has arrived at the docks.

Flandre draws water to the forefront of her mind, holding it there in statis, small flows of air entangle the water mixing the elements at the depth of conjunction.

Nevirha narrows her eyes, watching the novice weave.

Flandre concentrates hard bring the water the correct temperature forming the icicles into being as she releases them upwards into the air.

Flandre frowns narrowly as the water returns to a puddle on the ground near her feet.

Nevirha nods, watching the demonstration.

Nevirha says 'One thing that I noticed, novice, is that you are trying to bring the water to the correct temperature while ignoring the air around you.'

Nevirha says 'It is quite a chilly day. Can you think of how to use that to your advantage?'

Nevirha looks towards Erulisse. 'What did you notice, Sister?'

Flandre ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Erulisse says 'The application of the weaves is...'

Erulisse pauses, clearly seeking a kind word.

Erulisse says '...sub optimal.'

A Tower Guard has arrived from the south.

Erulisse says 'Do you know anything about mathematics child?'

Nevirha nods her head slightly.

Flandre says 'Should I rely more on the natural elements to aid me Aes Sedai?'

Nevirha says 'Part of it is using what is already around you, yes..'

Nevirha says 'Your ice spikes will always be icier when the air is cold.'

Flandre says 'Very little Erulisse Sedai. My time as a child was not well in the education of numbers.'

Erulisse says 'Well I suppose you could technically ask a white for instruction'

Erulisse says 'But suffice to say'

Erulisse says 'If you coil the air around the flow of water instead of laying it paralell'

Erulisse says 'You can manage the transfer more efficiently'

Flandre takes down some scribbled notes in haste about temperature.

A Tower Guard leaves west.

Erulisse says 'Sarinda and Lys do it that way'

Flandre says 'I had not thought of it that way.'

Erulisse says 'Sea-folk have a better understanding of manipulating such weaves I suppose'

Erulisse says 'Winds and weather prediction'

Nevirha says 'What else have you learned here in your time as a novice?'

The snow stops.

Flandre says 'I have spent quite a lot of time on my own in reflection and study Nevirha Sedai.'

Nevirha says 'It seems like perhaps we should talk to Sheriam about putting you into some classes focused in mathematics.'

Nevirha smiles kindly at Flandre.

Nevirha says 'Is that so? What have you been reflecting on?'

Flandre says 'Through fault of my own, I have made some mistakes in my studies and my chores.'

Nevirha arches a delicate brow.

A Tower Guard has arrived from the south.

Nevirha says 'Mistakes are expected of all. What mistakes have you made, and more importantly, what have you learned from them?'

Flandre says 'I have been reflecting on my attention to detail and mindfulness'

The sun sets, washing the city in fiery colors.

Nevirha says 'From this talk of meditation, it seems like you may have some inclinations toward the White Ajah.'

Flandre says 'One of my mistakes comes from causing a mess in the kitchens. Dropping plates and causing a mess.'

Erulisse quirks a smile.

The night has begun.

The TarlomensGate closes quietly.

Flandre says 'On reflection I spent alot of time learning how to handle multiple elements at once, similiar to how we would complete a complex weave of the elements.'

A Tower Guard leaves west.

Flandre says 'To further my concentration'

Nevirha says 'Has this reflection helped with your duties in the kitchens?'

Flandre says 'Very much so Aes Sedai'

A gray palfrey flickers its ears.

Flandre says 'I have become very efficient at the task whilst also able to be mindful of my surroundings at the same time.'

Erulisse nods in agreement.

Nevirha says 'That is good to hear.'

Erulisse says 'Do you like working in the kitchens?'

It starts to snow.

Flandre says 'Just yesterday whilst doing the dishes, I was able to notice a dual attack on my life by 2 invading Seanchan'

Erulisse coughs loudly.

Erulisse says 'That is a good thing to notice'

Nevirha says 'Many novices are caught unawares when danger finds them in the Tower.'

Flandre says 'Because of my attention and calmness. I was able to stay calm and posture myself to repel the invaders whilst maintaining my safety.'

The River Lady has arrived at the docks.

Nevirha says 'Did you repel them by yourself, Novice?'

Nevirha whispers to Erulisse [Redacted]

Flandre says 'At first yes Aes Sedai, but when it was safe to do so, I called upon Tolza Sedai and her companion.'

An old woman has arrived from the west.

Flandre says 'They soon come to the White Tower to chase away the invaders.'

Nevirha says 'A smart choice, especially given your lack of experience with offensive weaves.'

An old woman leaves south.

Flandre says 'Very much so Aes Sedai'

A Tower Guard has arrived from the east.

Nevirha says 'I apologize, Sister, Novice, but I fear I must go.'

Nevirha stands away from the fountain.

Nevirha says 'Be well.'
