Kali watched with slight amusement. Until she noticed the movement of a few of her things and mummered a thanks in the direction of Wes. It was time to get moving.
"Well lets get going. No time to spare." She said softly, shooting a pointed look at the woman.
(Sorry so short college/highschool/the need to get a job has been consuming my life)

Clarissa realizes she could do nothing to help Shanoa so when she hears Wolf and Yurin speak she gets up and walks over.
She nods after wolf talks.
"When I became Amrylin I couldn't leave the Tower often and Wolf just isn't meant to stay in one place. I hold no hard feelings. I've been meaning to ask though, Wolf would you like me to release your bond? I wouldn't mind its your decision."

((Uh well that post was only ment for Yurin to hear but ok....))
He turns and looks at Clarissa. "No mother I'd rather stay bonded to you I like haveing another ball of emotions to keep me goin. Besides when you 2 wheren't there in my head it was killing me not being able to know where you guys where or how your feeling or anything." He shuts his mouth realizing he may have said a little to much.

((Sorry but I needed to bring up that sometime and
I was just skimming and didn't see the whispering part until just now when I read it over.))
Clarissa smiles.
"Okay but you have been bonded to me for way to long to call me mother. I'm getting so sick of formalities I need some people just calling me Clarissa to keep me sane."

Werewolf5 He listens to Mog and Faye's conversation. Wolf walks over to Mog and quietly talks to him so Faye doesn't over hear what he says, Wolf whispers to Mog. "Becareful, Clarisa might take it as you cheating on her if you suddenly bond another Aes Sedai. The only reason I was bonded again was because me and Clarisa knew it wasn't meant to be, we really were not...how should I say this, uh into each other." ChildOfTheMoon ((Sorry but I needed to bring up that sometime and
I was just skimming and didn't see the whispering part until just now when I read it over.))
Clarissa smiles.

Mog hadn't even had a chance to reply to her as Wolf and the Amyrlin suddenly stole his attention. She hadn't been able to hear what Wolf had said,but she'd definately heard the Mother speak. She seemed again in the middle of a moment she had no right to see. Well, if Yurin hadn't even heard her approach, he probably wouldn't notice her leave. She turned softly and slipped into the trees within the Grove. She didn't yet feel like making a Gateway and returning to the Tower. Besides, they'd all notice the weave if she did. She needed to find someplace quiet to sit and collect her thoughts, they seemed to be all scattered about lately. She walked on and on through the trees until she came to a small little spot with two boulders together, one slightly larger than the other. She sat on the smaller one, using the larger for a back-rest facing away from the direction she had come. ((So someone could sneak up on her and she wouldn't see them))
She thought about the events of today, and all that she had witnessed. All of her involvement in this was due to Yurin dragging her around. Sometimes literally. But, Faye realized that, for some reason, she hadn't minded being led around by the handsome Warder. Smiling warmly as she thought about him. Thinking herself alone, she dropped her mask and let a full-fledged smile sit on her face as she thought more about him. Relaxing more than she had in some time, she laid back against the boulder and closed her eyes. Letting her thoughts wash over her like a wave at the beach.

It had taken him several hours, but finaly Kakashi had managed to find his way back down to the Warders rooms without mishap. Without any mishaps other than many wrong turns that led him to areas he would guess he wasnt supposed to be in, that is. Once back to his room, though, he stripped from his clothes and washed himself before he would head to the kitchens for a meal. He hadnt eaten in some time and his stomach was beginning to frequently remind him of that fact.
Once finished with his washing, he would take his time in getting to the kitchens. He saw no hurry other than his gut, but despite the hunger, a hastily eaten meal could be unhealthy. Kakashi would stroll through the hallways towards the kitchens at a leisurely pace, looking quite at ease.

Relaxing more than she had in some time, she laid back against the boulder and closed her eyes. Letting her thoughts wash over her like a wave at the beach.
As he was speaking with the Amyrlin, Wes saw Fayela try to fade into the background and watched as she wandered off into the trees. Not knowing what might be around the area, Yurin decided that a Warderless Aes Sedai shouldn't be left on her own in, what he considered, an unknown part of the city.
"My apologies, Clarissa, Wolf, I will return shortly.", He said, nodding to each in turn.Following after the errant Sister, Mog was about to call out to her, but curiosity got the better of him. He followed at a near enough distance not to lose sight of her, but allowed her to have her privacy, all the same. Shadowing her movements, Yurin was utterly silent as he moved, he did so without truly meaning to. It was a force of habit that was life saving for one that had travelled through the Blight.
He kept a watch on the surroundings, ensuring that he wouldn't be caught unaware and was astounded at the sheer beauty that the forestlike grove had to offer in its natural splendor. It left him near open-mouthed at how incredible a few trees and plants placed with such loving care by those that truly worshipped nature and life in general. Having lost their steddings, the Ogiers had tried to create a place that would help take the edge off of the pain of being away from their native homes. The Shienaran made a silent vow to visit a stedding sometime. If this was any indication to their beauty, then a true stedding must be a wonder to behold.
Ahead of him, the Asha'man saw Fayela Sedai sit down on a natural seat of granite. Trying stay unobtrusive, and to simply keep watch, he found himself bemused by the small smile that played at her lips as she contemplated whatever thoughts were passing through her mind. Feeling playful, and egged on by her smile, Yurin decided to get back at her for the fright that she had given him earlier by replying in kind.
Sliding up behind her with all the noise a shadow would make, he stalked closer to her before saying quietly, though abruptly as it interrupted the quiet calm of the natural setting.
"Well, well, Aes Sedai. It seems this time, I must be the one to watch after my sparring partner. Don't you realize the dangers inherent in a lone woman travelling unescorted through the forest?"He meant the last as a joke, for this was far from some uncharted, unsafe place in the middle of nowhere.

When he spoke, she jumped a mile, or at least that's how it felt to her. Heart pounding she realized it was just Yurin."Dear Creator, you scared me!"
Seeing him grin at that, she had to smirk back. Having regained some of her composure, some not all, she replied,"Besides,you know only too well that I can take care of myself. And trees haven't attacked people in ages."

"The reason that Asha'man are taught in both martial as well as One Power related fighting is because you cannot always rely on one thing to protect you. This is why Aes Sedai have Warders at all. I mean under normal circumstances, is there really much chance that harm could befall a Sister without a Gaidin?"
Yurin was speaking from the heart. He truly felt that it was his and the other Gaidin's duty to take care of the Aes Sedai as they were, thinking of Mercury Sedai, wont not to do so themselves.

Wolf looks at Fayela as she quietly fades away from everyone and looks at Yurin as he excuses himself and follows her. He closes his eyes as memorys flash through his mind, he opens his eyes with a worried look on his face quickly realizing that he relaxes his face back to the stoney look from before. Quietly talking to himself he says "Oh man I need a drink!" He looks at Clarissa and then Mercury lieing on the ground and sighs.

Mercury was rather uncomfortable sitting there without getting an answer. Silence wasn't the problem...though it didn't help. The problem was, even in someone else's dream, Tel'ar'an'hoid was a fickle place. Whatever had made Shanoa come here could just as easily send Mercury back out...or somewhere worse. She had enough training to keep from letting her worry affect her appearance...it wouldn't do for her to suddenly be standing in full armor.
"If you're feeling alright Shanoa, we should probably go...Light knows what the others are thinking back at the Tower..."
She eyed the recently acquired slight burn on her wrist and palm; as she did so, she reflected that if anything actually did go wrong, the others would know. Taking solace in that fact, she waited for Shanoa to say or do something.

Katerine couldn't quite remember what had happened. At some point she had wandered away and gone back to her own room and laid down. Nine was sent back to the warders to be taught.
After a while, she rose from the alluring pull of her bed and changed into a simple blue riding dress with small white embroidery at the hem and neck. Vancelle was off doing whatever it was that occupied her for she was not in her rooms when Katerine poked her head in. This fact did not bother her much though as she descended from Blue Ajah's quarters and walked the Tower's grounds.
Various thoughts floated through her head, reflecting the many tones the silver bells in her dark hair made. Most led to the pull of traveling even though Katerine was not quite sure she should leave yet. There had been no attack on the Tower that she knew of, but the sureness of the Foretelling had been strong and Katerine knew it involved her.
Maybe it would be best if I just peacefully left. Not many know I am here, so it would not attract much attention if I just packed up my saddlebags and left. I haven't found a warder yet though and that seems to be the only thing keeping me here.
A slight sigh escaped her lips and it was then that Katerine consciously realized where her feet had led her. She was standing in the doorway to the stables near the training yard. It never ceased to amaze her how her feet could lead her to horse when adventure beckoned. Turning her back on the stables, Katerine decided that maybe she would go off for a few days. Even though it wouldn't be that long, it did involve getting her saddlebags and some food.
Making her way back up the stairs she had come, Katerine found that the Blue Ajah's quarters were quite busy now and was hailed by a few of her fellow sisters. Most only had a few words of hello to exchange before letting the impulsive Blue on her way. In a matter of minutes, Katerine was back in her room packing a few other riding dresses into her bags along with her hairbrush, sewing kit, and other various essentials. Taking up her cloak and tossing her saddlebags over her shoulder, Katerine left her room and headed for the kitchens. Heads swiveled as they followed her path back out and excited whispers followed Katerine down the hall. Most were simply interested at what had possessed her to leave so soon after arriving, but it was always hard at the best of times to tell what Katerine was thinking.
A small thoughtful smile grew on her lips as she entered the kitchens and recieved enough food for four days. The servants looked oddly at her knowing that when she had left before large amounts of food were always involved, so much to where a packhorse was needed. They simply shrugged their shoulders though as she left. In a short span, Katerine was back in the threshold to the stable yard.
Moving quickly to her horse Releran, he was quickly saddled and walked out. Katerine decided that she would walk him through the yard to work out any soreness and then mounted him in one flowing stride. It was evident that Releran and Katerine had rode long distances together for a long time. Katerine merely had to nudge his ribs to send the chestnut into a walk. Trained as a warhorse, Katerine used her knees to guide him more than the reins. It took a while to get out of Tar Valon and she knew that she had attracted the attention of the warders and guards at the Tower's gates, but Katerine really didn't care.
Soon she was passing over a bridge and moved off the road. Finding a nice hill, Katerine slowed Releran and started to make her camp. Sleeping out in the open with only a tent always made Katerine happy. It had something to do with being free and open to do as she wished. Now she could think without feeling closed in. Sitting down near the small fire she had made, Katerine closed her eyes. Finding the barrier between the present and future was sometimes, sometimes not. Today was an easy day.
Standing on the hill she now was sitting on, Katerine looked out on the river that sparkled below. Tar Valon still shone in the bright sunlight, but a certain darkness seemed to cloud around her. Normally this darkness was contained in one spot, but it was diffused through the landscape giving everything a dull look. Turning to her left, Katerine thought she caught a glimpse of a man...
Then she was thrown from her trance backward on the ground. Rising up onto her elbows, Katerine found she now sat two feet from where she had began. A feeling of foreboding pervaded her senses and she looked around with calm eyes though she was near panicking inside. As she scanned the area, the sense only grew stronger and she rose to her feet. Turning around to face where her tent was, Katerine barely heard the whistling that indicated an arrow or bolt.
Darting to the side, the arrow grazed the side of her face near her eye bringing forth a small trickle of blood. Instantly Katerine created a shield and searched for where the arrow had come from. Hearing a small rustle, she weaved Air around the source and drew it out toward her. This proved to be a rather hard task that was normally easy for her. A gruff, unshaven man met her cool blue eyes that seemed to have trouble focusing. A small trimphant smile passed across the man's face as he saw the difficultly that Katerine was having. Knowing that something was wrong, she tied off the weave holding the man and sat down rather abruptly.
Raising her head to where the man was, she tried to form words but found that no matter her effort, she could not speak. This scared her, but still she didn't let her fear show. Putting a shaking hand to the small cut, Katerine realized that it had been a heavily posioned arrow. Releran sensed that something was wrong with his mistress and cantered over. Katerine didn't even have enough strength to raise herself onto his back, so she sent him off with a slap on the rear. The horse reared up and galloped off toward the road.
((Ooo, suspense. Yeah, I really didn't know what to do. Katerine will live you are worried that I am killing her off. I just needed to add a little spice to her existance.))

CleverMog Unable to stop himself, Yurin let out a deep laughter at her reaction. He had expected surprise, he even half expected the legendary unshakable Aes Sedai demeanor and for her to calmly turn and speak with him as if nothing was amiss. Her extreme surprise, however, had taken him, well, by surprise. A wolfish grin spread across his tanned features as she spoke of taking care of herself.
"You know, sometimes one cannot always take care of oneself alone.", his smile faded a bit as he spoke of a more serious subject.
"The reason that Asha'man are taught in both martial as well as One Power related fighting is because you cannot always rely on one thing to protect you. This is why Aes Sedai have Warders at all. I mean under normal circumstances, is there really much chance that harm could befall a Sister without a Gaidin?"
Yurin was speaking from the heart. He truly felt that it was his and the other Gaidin's duty to take care of the Aes Sedai as they were, thinking of Mercury Sedai, wont not to do so themselves. "I wouldn't know...I've never had a Warder." Her voice was soft as she spoke, reflecting her true nature. She may know her way around the sword, but in her heart she was truly a softy who never wanted to hurt anyone. Aes Sedai training along with the world may have created a hard shell around this, but it was still there.
