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

Mariah Sedai delivers some medicinal supplies to the Wisdoms via a young girl.

Characters: Mariah and Theresa

----------

Reception of the Queen's Blessing
The upstairs of the Queen's Blessing is as charming as the common room. A
thin rug leads through the length of the hallway, and a small window in the
wall lets you look down on the bustling streets of Caemlyn. You appear to
be fortunate in finding an empty room to rent, no easy feat in this crowded
city! A wooden board is affixed to the wall, covered with notices of
current information for newcomers to the city.
A ledger lies on a small stand.
[ obvious exits: S D ]
A folded bundle of black silk lies here.
A cloth hood has been left here.
A young woman walks by.
A stout looking guard is here, walking the streets of Caemlyn.
A black cat meanders to an unknown destination.
A bulky man with heavy-lidded eyes sits here, scratching a cat.
The innkeeper Basel Gill is here, smiling broadly.
A gray palfrey has arrived from below.
Theresa has arrived from below.

Mariah can't find anything to conceal herself with.

Theresa gets a soft leather pouch from a backpack.

Mariah says 'There may be some interruptions here, but we can make do. This should take so long.'

Theresa says 'As you wish Aes Sedai.'

Theresa smooths her dress a bit, looking a tad anxious.

Mariah says 'Ah...it is Theresa, yes?'

Theresa says 'It is Aes Sedai.'

Mariah looks at the young woman in front of her.

Mariah says 'My sources say that you are interested in becoming a Wisdom, is that correct?'

Theresa straitens up a bit while being looked at.

Theresa says 'It is Aes Sedai. '

Mariah says 'And which village do you see yourself moving to? I hear you have moved around quite a bit.'

Theresa says 'I have not thought of a village yet honestly. I am happy to just go where I am needed.'

Theresa says 'I left Amador to move to Whitebridge so I have seen little of the world so far.'

Mariah's lips turn down slightly before correcting themselves.

Mariah says 'My apologies, I thought Wisdoms typically focused on certain areas.'

Theresa says 'They do.'

Theresa says 'However, I have not even been apprenticed yet.'

Theresa says 'I am unsure of the needs at the moment is all. I do have a task to pick a village or town and learn more about their needs though.'

Mariah says 'I see.'

Mariah says 'That does sound useful. But I have asked to speak to you of a different matter.'

Theresa says 'You have, so what can I do for you? I would love to help.'

Mariah gets a package from her bag.

Theresa eyes the package curiously.

Mariah says 'I was instructed that this would be useful to various Wisdoms. I wonder if you know anything about it?'

Mariah gives a chunk of pale yellow sulphur to Theresa.

Theresa looks over the sulphur, rubbing it as she does.

Mariah wipes her nose with a quilted handkerchief

Theresa says 'I must say I do not. I have merely taught myself the basic use of herbs as it is.'

Theresa says 'Where do you find this if I may?'

Mariah says 'That is certainly understandable.'

Theresa continues to look the sulphur over.

Theresa says 'So interesting this is.'

Mariah says 'There are a number of places with sulphur deposits. I found mine near Fal dara, but there is another in the Great Forest, and even in Amadacia.'

Theresa says 'Oh this is ore?'

Mariah says 'I'm told there area medicinal properties of the stuff, but I never understood what value would overcome the smell.'

Theresa says 'Sometimes the worse smells or the most painful herbs bring the best healing though.'

Mariah says 'It is a mineral by classification, I believe.'

Mariah says 'The old adage: No pain, no gain, eh Theresa?'

Theresa says 'A love the color of it though.'

Theresa says 'Exactly. Too bad the men always whine about it.'

Theresa lets out a small laugh followed by a loud snort.

Mariah says 'They can be a little short sighted, I take it?'

Mariah snorts at the mention of the Children.

Theresa says 'I agree.'

Mariah says 'I can not blame you for that reaction, Child.'

Mariah says 'But indulge me, if you will. What do you think the Sulphur could be used for medicinally?'

Mariah says 'Is is useful when dissolved? Taken Orally?'

Theresa says 'Well, without testing it I am not sure. It would be a best guess to possibly heat up the sulphur.'

Theresa says 'Smell would be the easiest to test so I would suggest that first.'

Theresa says 'I have horrible allergies in the wilderness so I would actually be interested to see if that helped.'

Mariah scratches her chin while looking at the dull yellow rock.

Theresa pulls out and shows you three different handkerchiefs.

Mariah chuckles.

Mariah says 'That is certainly an unexpected outcome.'

Theresa taps her chin as she repeats, 'Orally.'

Theresa says 'Now orally, you would always have to be careful. To much without knowing if it could harm you...well...could harm you.'

Theresa says 'Could also practice rubbing it into some herb mixtures.'

Mariah says 'I can imagine. Not all things can be ground to dust and imbibed naturally.'

Theresa says 'I was always taught, orally to be tried last.'

Mariah says 'Which is why you are here to give that advice, I am sure.'

Theresa says 'I would say mine is just educated. I have only a small knowledge of herbs to be honest.'

Theresa says 'Hopefully that will change one day if I can become wisdom.'

Mariah says 'Ah, so you are pursuing the wisdoms to learn. Some come from some rudimentary backgrounds, I have heard.'

Mariah says 'What is it that you want to do, when you are a Wisdom, I wonder?'

Theresa says 'Learning is very important to me. I want to become the best I can be at helping people. After watching so many suffer in Amadicia, I must find a way to prevent all of that pain and death.'

Mariah says 'Not that it is my business. The Wisdoms stay fairly far afield from politics.'

Theresa says 'I hope to heal those in need. Help those in need. Anything I can do to help, I want to do.'

Theresa says 'I have heard they can be but I live by a pretty simple code of conduct.'

Theresa says 'I have spent my young life healing those in need and want to continue to do so at a higher skill.'

Mariah says 'That is a very noble calling, for sure. I have heard similar from some of my Sisters.'

Theresa says 'I would assume the Yellow Ajah? I have only met one, Ashlynn Sedai.'

Mariah says 'Based on your statement, you may be surprised to hear that more Aes Sedai than those of the Yellow Ajah care about healing.'

Mariah says 'That is not a recrimination.'

Theresa says 'I must admit, you are only the second Aes Sedai I have met, so I have little knowledge to your workings.'

Theresa says 'Though I have only heard what the Children stated, which I assumed was a lie.'

Mariah says 'It is just that Aes Sedai use their varied backgrounds to help others, and often one finds the value in Healing even when one does not find the calling to join the Ajah that specializes in it.'

Mariah says 'Yes, yes, please disregard what the Children say. In most, if not all things.'

Theresa says 'Ah, I guess that makes sense. And yes I mainly have forgotten most of their stories.'

Theresa says 'Hard to trust people that strait out murder others.'

Mariah makes a comical gesture of wiping fake sweat from her forehead for Theresa's benefit.

Theresa says 'I must admit it is good to see more of this world. So beautiful.'

Theresa follows Mariah's eyes.

Mariah says 'I don't mean to keep you, especially if you can go join Wisdom Vhalerie in her endeavors.'

Theresa nods at Mariah.

Theresa says 'It is no bother and an honor.'

Mariah says 'Thank you for your ideas about the package I delivered.'

Theresa says 'Thank you for allowing me to speak with you.'

Theresa says 'Would you like me to deliver this to the Wisdoms?'

Mariah says 'I know that Wisdoms normally seek out my Sisters in the Yellow Ajah. But please let me know if there is anything I can assist you with.'

Theresa says 'or study it?'

Mariah thinks for a moment.

Mariah says 'Please find a Wisdom who can use it.'

Theresa says 'I always seek knowledge, so if there is time I would always love to speak with you.'

Theresa says 'I shall Aes Sedai.'

Mariah says 'Thank you for your time. I believe an Accepted is trying to put a criminal to justice now (smob).'

Theresa says 'Ah, well take care.'

Mariah inclines her head.
