Near an old appletree...

[Arisaema Draconis]

"It's been an Age since I entered the Tower and donned Novice white. I find myself keeping company with an Accepted and a Recruit as well as new friends and recent acquaintances. This is the reason today, perhaps, that I keep company much more frequently outside of the Tower itself. We look forward to entering the Tower with such enthusiasm, yet, in time we grow anxious to find our way out again."

 

[Neo Stormbringer]

*Giggles a bit at the mention of The Wall.* "Ah, yes. The Wall. It is a place where Recruits go who are either 1, think they're smart enough to outsmart Aes Sedai and Gaidin, or 2, just stupid enough to openly challenge them. Me being the latter...and a little of the first. *I chuckle again at the memories.* Unfortunately, those times are well behind me...sadly. At the moment, I'm nothing more than a Mercenary-for-Hire who's had training at the White Tower. It's why I'm allowed to go wherever I want right now."

*My face calm, straight, I look to the Sedai, a look, far back in my eyes, almost daring her to try and tame this storm.*

 

[Nynyra Falas]

*looks at the Aes Sedai and at Neo*

"So, is there any place here outside of Tar Valon which I should see?"

 

[Neo Stormbringer]

*Breaking the hold, I turn back to Nynyra, a half a smile on my face.*
"I think the whole countryside is beautiful. The freedom it represents. The "chaotic beauty" that you can run into or watch from afar. I guess it all depends on what you prefer to look at."

 

[Nynyra Falas]

"Yes. The countryside. I found this nice Apple Tree, for example."

"By the way... I learnt something new about this Tar Valon today." *looks at the different people.

"There are people who follow the path of the Gaidin, who can channel... That's really new for me. At least I can't remember ever seeing that."

 

[Alora Sionn]

*runs over from the direction of the Lucky Fox with a spatula*



Has anyone seen Satrim?! :mad and....is this MY apple tree?!

:tug

Oh hi nice to meet you, Satrim stole my apple tree if you see a flame happy Australian let me know!

 

[Nynyra Falas]

"Whaaat?! He stole your Appletree?!? But how... and where? And WHY?? -Nobody should steal trees..." :nono - "Even if I heard something like that in the radio today... several Christmas Trees were stolen..."

"My name is Nynyra. I remember seeing your Avatar before."

"What will you do with this Australian, when you catch him...?"

:swordy

...

"I hope he is not going to burn your tree or something like that..."

 

[Dnae Ila]

Well, this looks like quite a gathering.
*Saunters up and plunks herself down on a nearby rock.*
A new person! I like new people. Hello, new person!

 

[Nynyra Falas]

*recognizes the female Gaidin*

*nods and turns again to Alora, still waiting for the story about the stolen Appletree*

 

[Polegnyn Nemeara]

**makes her way through the fringe of the Tower grounds searching for her missing yeti. Spots a flicker of light and wonders who would be camping on a cold night like this. Considers passing by, but then concludes there might be coffee or tea that would cause the yeti to join the campers. Is relieved to see quite a group of people, loosening a few cannisters of tea and coffee to leave with them. Breaks through to the clearing, making it a point of being loud enough so she doesn't startle anyone.**

Hello, everyone **notes the attending Aes Sedai and Gaidin and immediately drops into a curtsey** Has anyone seen a small yeti? **waves to everyone else while awaiting a response, hopeful**

 

[Arisaema Draconis]

"Good eve to the new comers."

*rustles in her satchel and produces a fire extinguisher*

"I am familiar with this flaming Aussie. I'll help you keep an eye out for him, Alora."

"As for coffee or tea, Nem , I prefer coffee."

"When I left the Tower so many Ages ago, the paths to Senior Membership followed conventional courses. However some few years gone an Integration took place and the paths have evolved and may be evolving still."

"Be careful of such discourse, these remain touchy subjects for some. As for myself, I do not consider the Bond to be necessarily limited to AS/G pairing. If we have moved into an age of male AS once again, and as you have noted, female Gaidin, then why should not Aes Sedai Bond Aes Sedai? I do not feel qualified to speak on the purpose nor the nature of the Bond which a Gaidin may choose."

 

[Nynyra Falas]

"Hello, hello! - A Yeti..." "No, haven't got one, haven't seen one..." "I just saw a grolm..."

*smiles at Neo*

*looks at Nem* "Eaahm... tea. I would prefer tea. 'cause it's evening..."

*looks at the fireextinguisher*

*looks at the Aes Sedai*

*thinks* I think I should be careful... when somebody calls himself an Australian...

*looks at Arisaema Sedai*

"In this other Tower where I came from... through the Portal Stones - I bonded an Aes Sedai. I bonded him as my Taidin, my true Brother. Many years ago..."

 

[Polegnyn Nemeara]

**pours coffee and tea from their respective canisters. Distributes everyone's preference after warming themwith weaves of fire**

Alright, then :scratch I better be on my way to freshen up the contents of these canisters. **places several canisters of each for everyone to enjoy or as a precaution** There are other areas of the Tower to check for any sign of him. I hope you all enjoy your time by this cozy fire. **curtseys to the Aes Sedai and Gaidin once more** :acurtsey**leaves**

 

[Neo Stormbringer]

"Alora, this could very well be yours. However," *Inspects the tree, walking around it.* "However, I do not see your name anywhere on it. So I can't be sure if it is truly yours or not." *Smiles.* "As for this "Satrim" character, I've no idea who...or what they may be or where they are."

*Another Gaidin, female this time appears.

Another comes into the campfire area searching for a Yeti.

Smiles at Nynyra's comment about a Grolm.

Looks around into the growing darkness for more people possibly coming this way, I decide to stay near to see what happens, but slip quickly into the shadows. Finding a low branch of a tree, I climb up a little and sit back, relaxing.*

 

[Nynyra Falas]

"Look!! The Gate has opend!"

I think it's Time to explore Tar Valon...

 

[Nynyra Falas]

After exploring the city a bit and founding interesting places, she decided to have a look what happend to the people under the appletree. If there would be anybody still around?

*comes along and sees that the tree is still standing*

"Oooh good! I feard you could have been stolen!"

*touches the appletree gently*

 

[Satrim Kha'os]

*Wandering out of the dark, my heavy coat not quite covering the limp bodies of rabbits hanging from my belt and an unstrung longbow in my hands*
What in Damnation is going on out here?!*Gasp!!* Apple tree? Food? Fire?! Without me?

 

[Nynyra Falas]

:eek

Satrim!

Oh no! No! :nono

This tree stays where it is! :tug

 

[Arisaema Draconis]

I don't mind dressing rabbits if you've a mind to share a sup.
I've apples and parsnips in the tote, I'll purée them together as a side.

 

[Nynyra Falas]

Oh that would be great. :joy

If Satrim likes to share his rabbits...
