Anna turns on her heel, declaring 'I don't think it will fall off, if that's what you're asking.'

not much later

Marie says 'oh I'm sure, right? You gaidin are always swinging them around.' <--- I loled.

****************************************************

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 ]
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 simple man blends into the crowd of the city.
Marie Du Lis is standing here, riding a warhorse.
A young Tower Guard is on duty here.
Lord Ominas Crowe is standing here, riding a warhorse.
The Tar Valon town crier stands here, spreading the news.

Ominas kneels solemnly before you.

Ominas gives a young Tower Guard an order.
A young Tower Guard kneels solemnly before you.

smile
You smile happily.

Anna says 'Hello, Sir.'

smile marie
You smile at her.

Marie smiles at you.

Ominas says 'Lady Anna. How are you today?'

Anna says 'Oh, as well as can be expected.'

smile
You smile happily.

Anna says 'It's been a busy day, and I still have some chores to do at some stage.'

Ominas says 'Ahh'

Anna counts on her fingers.

Ominas says 'I wasn't aware those of your level still had chores.'

Anna says 'A bed to make. A book or two to read.'

Anna smiles softly.

Ominas says 'That is a lot.'

Anna says 'We all have chores, Sir. Some of them are just different than others.'

Ominas nods in agreement.

Ominas says 'Lady Marie has been making me kill bandits.'

Marie chuckles politely.

nod
You nod in agreement.

Ominas says 'I've had a terrifying few days.'

Marie comforts Ominas.

Ominas says 'And my arm aches something fierce.'

Ominas rolls his shoulder.

Anna says 'Nothing that you can't handle, I'm sure.'

Anna says 'Or perhaps you need a Yellow?'

frown
What's bothering you?

Ominas hefts his axe.

Ominas says 'Well what she does is..'

Ominas says 'She bashes them to the ground. Then she makes me axe them.'

Marie nods in agreement.

Ominas says 'So my axe-ing arm is quite tired.'

Ominas chops with his hand.

nod ominas
You nod at him.

Anna says 'Yes. That would make sense.'

Ominas says 'You uh..'

Ominas looks around.

Anna says 'Hrm?'

Ominas says 'You wouldn't happen to be a Yellow apprentice would you?'

Anna tilts her head.

Ominas rides a little closer.

Anna says 'I would not.'

Ominas says 'I've got some troubles, you see.'

Anna gives a flat stare.

Ominas looks sad, eyes falling to the ground.

Anna says 'Oh?'

Ominas nods in agreement.

Ominas glances at Marie.

Marie peers closely at Ominas, trying to figure him out.

Ominas whispers to you, 'I got some rashes...'

Ominas glances at Marie.

nod ominas
You nod at him.

Marie mutters to herself in complete disgust.

Ominas whispers to you, 'delicate ones.'

Ominas beams a smile at Marie.

Anna bites her lip.

Ominas says 'Weren't talking about you Lady Marie.'

Marie says 'sure.'

Ominas says 'I swear it!'

Anna says 'Yes. I understand that would be problematic.'

Ominas holds up a free hand in a disarming way.

Marie tastes a little bit of a large slab of meat.

Anna says 'Well.'

Ominas nods at you.

Anna says 'I...'

Anna trails off.

Ominas leans closer.

Anna tilts her head.

Ominas says 'You what Lady Anna?'

Anna whispers to Ominas 'Does it sting?'

blink
You blink your eyes innocently.

Ominas thinks hard.

Ominas glances at Marie.

Ominas whispers to you, 'It feels as though my delicate region is on fire. Molten metal types of burning.'

blink
You blink your eyes innocently.

Anna says 'I...'

Anna opens her mouth and closes it again.

Anna purses her lips.

Anna murmurs, 'I can't un-hear that.'

Marie arches an eyebrow.

Ominas frowns.

Ominas rides back to Marie's side.

Ominas says 'I don't blame you.'

Anna turns on her heel, declaring 'I don't think it will fall off, if that's what you're asking.'

Marie blinks her eyes innocently.

Ominas looks at Marie then back to the Accepted.

Anna holds up her hand facing away from you 'And I don't think I need to see it.'

Ominas gives an awkward chuckle.

Marie says 'I hope she's referring to your axe arm.'

Ominas says 'I don't know what she's talking about.'

Ominas says 'Yeah!'

Ominas says 'My arm.'

Marie nods at Ominas.

Ominas says 'She means my arm.'

nod marie
You nod at her.

Ominas chops down with his arm.

Marie says 'I figured'

Ominas nods in agreement.

Anna says 'Yes. That's it.'

Ominas says 'Yeah it's sore.'

Anna turns around.

Ominas says 'My arm I mean.'

Ominas chops again.

Marie nods in agreement.

Anna punctuates each word 'His. Big. Strong. Axe. Arm.'

Ominas rolls his right shoulder, wincing dramatically.

Anna gives a flat stare.

Marie says 'I'm sure there's some kind of medicine you can take for it.'

nod marie
You nod at her.

Ominas says 'Yeah I probably just needs medicine. And time.'

Ominas says 'I'm sure it will be ok in time.'

Ominas nods in agreement.

Marie says 'Maybe a massage?'

Ominas says 'You offering?'

Ominas looks hopeful.

Anna sighs 'That may have been the cause of the problem...'

Marie says 'sure with my mallet arm.'

Ominas looks at Marie's biceps. He seems slightly afraid.

Marie smiles happily.

Ominas says 'That's I wouldn't want you to strain yourself.'

Ominas chuckles nervously.

Ominas says 'You know what?'

Marie says 'It's no problem. '

Ominas stretches wide.

Ominas says 'I'm feeling a bit better I think.'

Marie says 'oh wonderful!'

Ominas nods in agreement.

Ominas thanks you heartily.

Ominas thanks Marie heartily.

Marie says 'I guess time was all you needed afterall.'

Ominas says 'You Ladies are quite good at this sort of thing.'

Ominas nods at Marie.

Ominas smiles happily.

Anna purses her lips.

Anna says 'm'Lord.'

Anna pauses.

Ominas smiles at you.

Anna says 'Do any of the other Gaidin have a...'

Anna searches for the words.

Anna says 'A, uh... sore axe arm?'

Marie says 'oh I'm sure, right? You gaidin are always swinging them around.'

Ominas says 'Well some more than others.'

nod marie
You nod at her.

Marie nods in agreement.

Anna says 'They don't all use axes of course.'

Anna says 'I hear some of them are more likely to use a shortblade.'

Marie nods at you.

Ominas says 'Yeah quite a few.'

Anna says 'But I know not of such things really. So I do not judge.'

Ominas says 'Laertes for instance, has the strength of a prepubescent boy. He's been known to only use sticks.'

Marie blinks her eyes innocently.

Anna nods with understanding.

Anna says 'Well, I'm glad you're feeling better nonetheless.'

smile
You smile happily.

Marie nods in agreement.

Anna says 'You're a long way from Mayene, Marie. How does it fair down there?'

Ominas smiles happily.

Marie says 'Oh...I haven't really looked. '

Anna says 'Oh. Well, that must mean all is well.'

smile
You smile happily.

Anna says 'I'm sure you would be needed if it was not.'

Marie says 'I haven't been home in a while. Pretty quiet down there though I'd say.'

Marie nods in agreement.

nod
You nod in agreement.

Marie says 'From the lack of requests to pull one of my brothers or fellow Winged Guard out of the local taverns I'd say it's going well.'

chuck
You chuckle politely.

Anna says 'Well, that can only be a good thing.'

Marie nods in agreement.

Anna purses her lips.

Ominas says 'Do you visit many Taverns? Lady Anna?'

blink
You blink your eyes innocently.

Anna says flatly 'Why would I do that?'

Ominas says 'I don't know, to relax?'

Ominas says 'Maybe cut loose a bit?'

Ominas cocks his head to the side, clearly confused.

Anna says 'm'Lord.'

Anna says 'Those establishments may be a pleasant experience for a worldly man such as yourself.'

Anna pauses.

Anna says 'However.'

Anna says 'If I wanted a man to think that by my very presence I am available to his beck and call and pleasure, I would at least earn a few crowns for my time.'

Anna says 'In any case.'

Marie ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Anna says 'I don't need to go to a tavern. I make my own fun.'

Marie nods in agreement.

Anna gives a half-smile.

Ominas says 'OH..'

Marie says 'I've heard rumors of the special friends girls have in the tower.'

Ominas says 'Ok'

Ominas says 'Oh? I haven't heard those tales, Lady Marie.'

Marie says 'probably is much nicer than a tavern.'

Ominas says 'Tell me one?'

Marie says 'well that might be a story for another time.'

Ominas smiles happily.

Ominas nods dumbly.

Ominas turns as a butterfly flits across the square, he watches it's progress.

Anna says 'I would not pretend to know of such things.'

Marie nods in agreement.

Anna says 'Hrmmm...'

Anna says 'My Lord Ominas.'

Anna says 'When you are done with that insect, a question?'

Marie peers closely at the Tar Valon town crier, trying to figure him out.

smile ominas
You smile at him.

Anna says 'I have a...'

Ominas nods distractedly at Anna.

Anna pauses.

Anna says 'A deep desire to know something.'

Anna smiles sweetly.

Ominas looks back to Anna and Marie.

Ominas says 'What's that?'

Anna gives a faint smile.

Anna pulls out a parchment and quill.

Anna says 'When you are in battle.'

Anna looks up.

Anna says 'How do you best see support and healing administered?'

Anna looks back to her parchment, listening.

Ominas grins evilly.

Ominas says 'Ahh, I feel as though I have been asked such a question before.'

Ominas says 'Possibly hundreds of times. But I don't think that's true.'

Anna gives a slight shake of her head.

Anna says 'Certainly not, Sir.'

Ominas nods in agreement.

Anna says softly 'And certainly not by me.'

Anna leans forward, touching your arm.

Ominas smiles happily.

Ominas suddenly stretches wide, arms in the air.

Ominas says 'Well...'

Ominas says 'The best of the healers..'

Anna slowly and deliberately returns her arm to her side.

Ominas groans softly and lowers his arms.

Ominas says 'They tend to have a good working knowledge of the terrain.'

nod
You nod in agreement.

Ominas says 'That is to say, they are almost as knowledgeable about the field as the commands who are conducting the battle.'

Ominas says 'So that they can best attend to the sick and wounded.'

Anna neatly writes 'knowledge of terrain' on her parchment.

Ominas says 'The most important part of their jobs, and the very best of them, tend to stay out of the way as much as possible, and work as quickly as possible.'

Ominas says 'They do not tend to give long drawn out explanations of what they are doing, a simple triage of sorts, and off to work they go.'

Anna adds 'Remain inconspicuous' to her page.

Ominas says 'Some, especially those of the Yellow, are very good.'

Anna writes 'Efficient.'

nod ominas
You nod at him.

Ominas says 'Others, tend to cause a panic in the men and women they attend to, because they themselves are very panicked.'

Ominas nods in agreement.

Anna says 'I am sure the Yellow Ajah are experts.'

Ominas says 'That's about it I think.'

nod ominas
You nod at him.

Ominas says 'They know their stuff, that's for sure.'

Anna smiles sweetly.

Anna says 'Thankyou, m'Lord.'

Ominas kneels solemnly before you.

Ominas says 'My pleasure Lady Anna.'

nod
You nod in agreement.

Anna says 'Of course.'

Ominas says 'Lady Marie had something to ask as well. I believe?'

Anna neatly folds her parchment, placing it in her pack.

Ominas looks at Marie and waits.

Marie says 'erm..what? I did?'

Marie ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Ominas says 'You did. You had your hand raised?'

Marie says 'what was it?'

Ominas says 'Ahh, a philosophical question.'

Marie says 'oh..I was just blocking the sun..'

Ominas beams a smile at Marie.

Ominas says 'You are wise.'

Marie nods in agreement.

Marie says 'So I've been told.'

Ominas catches another butterfly out of the corner of his eye and stares after it.

Ominas says '(afk a few mins)'

Marie nods in agreement.

sigh
You sigh.

Anna says 'Some men are so easily distracted by pretty things, wouldn't you agree?'

Marie nods at you.

smile marie
You smile at her.

Anna says 'You must have that trouble from time to time.'

Anna looks you up and down.

Anna says 'Tell me, how do you manage?'

Marie says 'Oh yes I notice lots of pretty things too.'

Marie blinks her eyes innocently.

chuck
You chuckle politely.

smile marie
You smile at her.

Anna says 'That's not what I meant.'

Marie says 'No? Oh I see. '

Marie says 'Then no not really. I'm usually covered up in bulky armor anyway.'

Anna says 'I think you would be surprised at the imagination of people.'

Anna says 'Armor will only cover so much of that.'

Anna says 'Well. I think perhaps I should retire to my chambers and finish those chores.'

sigh
You sigh.

smile marie
As you watch Ominas seems to melt into the background, vanishing.

You smile at her.

Marie smiles happily.

Anna says 'Lovely to see you again.'

Marie says 'good luck with those'

nod
You nod in agreement.

Marie nods in agreement.

Anna says 'Thank you.'

Anna glances at Ominas.

Marie smiles happily.

Marie pats Ominas on his head.

Anna says 'He likely will still be distracted by a butterfly or something else pretty.'

chuck
You chuckle politely.

wave
You wave.

Marie nods in agreement.

Marie waves.

Anna leaves north.

I'm looking forward to hearing about what Ominas does when his 'axe arm' finally falls off.
