Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vancelle found herself gliding back toward her room intent on seeing Katerine. Although she didn't show it, she was irked by Katerine's ever chaning mood.

How am I supposed to talk to the woman if she is never in the same place at once? First one of the novices said they saw her down by the training yard. Then another said she was up by the Keeper's Quarters. I go to both and still I do not find her. Where in the Light as she gone!

Vancelle's step had quickened and it was only a few more minutes before she was entering the Blue Ajah's Quarters. Her fellow sisters called hello and congratulations, all of which were replied with a nod and smile. For the moment, her rise to the Mistress of Novices was the farthest thing from her mind. Vancelle knew how Katerine was and didn't want to miss her when she could. They had never even sat down properly and spoken together!

A small look of discontent crossed her face which was quickly erased as she came abroad of Katerine's door. Knocking lightly she heard no call in response, something that wasn't uncommon when Katerine was there or not, and opened the door. Looking around she could find no trace of the other woman and turned around with a huff. Under her breath with burning eyes, Vancelle cursed the woman who was impulsive yet her friend.

"She has no regard for other people. She knew that I wanted to talk to her, but I can't seem to find her."

Walking back toward her room, one of the other blues made a comment about seeing Katerine rushing out with her saddlebags. This simply added to the agitation that Vancelle felt over her friend and her heavy oak door slammed shut on her heels. The other Blue sisters turned at the noise and most just shrugged thier shoulders and continued with their converstation.

Vancelle on the other hand was fuming. She had told Katerine not to leave because she wanted to speak with her.

"So much good it did telling her to stay. I swear that woman has become more unstable as the years have passed. I can't even predict her anymore. She's like some Illuminator's firework; it looks pretty and colorful when it blows up, but until it does, no one knows what it is going to look like or do."

((I'll be gone this weekend...so..er...I guess if you post Shanoa, you or someone else can RP the Keeper if it gets too slow.))

Gray walks into the kitchens to report for her last dish duty of the day.

Hmph, last dish duty, there's still the gardening, and some laundry for the Infirmery to do....Will it never end?!

Gray pushes up the sleeves of her white novice dress and plunges her arms into the greasy tepid dishwater. She fishes around for the scrubbing pad in the murky water and gets to work on cleaning the large soup cauldrons resting in the water. She looks around the kitchen for a moment, to see if there are any other novices, Accepted, or Aes Sedai in the large room. When she is satisfied that there is no one else in the room who can channel, she opens herself to the Source and weaves a thin thread of fire to warm up the dish water.

No sense in scrubbing with this cooler water. It won't help get the grease off at all.

She gets to work on her chore, every once and a while glancing around the room. She has spotted her quarry and starts planning how to get it without anyone finding out.

When the Mistress of the Kitchens is satisfied with Gray's work, Gray sets her plan into action.

((*cues Mission Impossible Theme*))

Gray takes out four thin strips of white cloth from her belt pouch. Taking one more glance around, she begins weaving two strands of air and reaches them out over to the long table next to her. Near the end she is walking to are the bottles of wine to be set out for the Aes Sedai, and the watered down bottle of wine for the Accepted. Green glass for the Accepted, blue glass for the Aes Sedai. She sets the strands onto two blue bottles near the edge of the table closest to her. As she passes by them, she pauses for a moment to kneel down and check her slippers. As she moves down, she moves the bottles down with her and hides them under her skirts. She walks out of the kitchen, holding the bottles in the air under her skirts just long enough for her to turn the corner. There she gently lets them down to the floor and she quickly releases the Source. She bends down once more to tie the bottles to her legs with the strips of cloth, which should just hold them long enough to get to the novice quarters.

Now, there aren't too many places to hide things in a novice's quarters, and Gray knows this. She goes over to the stretch of unoccupied rooms and walks into one of the ones near the middle. She closes the door and starts untying the bottles just as one starts to slip. She places the two bottles carefully in the back corner of the foot trunk and with that she leaves the room.

Well, now that that's done, off to the gardens to start weeding...again.

(( sweatdrop Well, that's what I've got so far...What could Gray be up to now? Find out next time on "All the Days of Our Novice Lives" whee ))

ALina moans and opens her eyes to find Jade and DUpre looking over her. "ya know jade, he is mine..." she says with a little laugh that turns into a cough. she sits up fast, a little to fast, and grabs her head becuase. "light, what happened?" she looks at DUpre and says, "is everything alright? why did...it...come for you...that wasnt...him was it? the on who is...higher then everyone else? what did ...he want? and Jade how did you knwo to come here?" its almsot like i bonded her but i havent...yet...i might...we are very close...and i hear that woman warders have a colser bond with there Aes Sedai then men do...and it dosnt seem like anyone else wants her....i dont know im not thinking stright....

((IM BACKK BABY! my internet is uuuupppp!))

After Kakashi had gone to the kitchens and scrounged some food for himself and had eaten, he once again headed for the city. The last time he had gone out, he hadnt really looked around. This time, though, he would go and see what sights there were, stop at a few inns for food and drink, and just enjoy himself. Overall, hardly anyone ever seemed to notice him, and for the time being, that was fine by him. Just because he was here to become a Warder, didnt mean that he wanted to jump right into it and the possibility of never again being able to just relax. So out into the city he went without any concerns.

He looks at Alina as he kneels down next to her and replies. "No that was just a messenger." He looks up at Jade, "Don't tell anyone about this ok I'd hate myself if you got yourself in the way." He looks down feeling bad about saying something that cold even to a close friend.

Mercury looked around the room as it faltered and changed before suddenly stablizing. She gave a sigh of relief and smiled at Shanoa.

"Who knows? Time flows differently here. I didn't know you were a Dreamer!"

Mercury got up, visibly less tense than before, and extended a hand to Shanoa. She hadn't known that about Wolf; she figured it must have been from when he was still bonded to Clarissa. Oh Light...the others...what were they thinking had happened to the trio?

((It's no problem at all! I have a ton of work too! whee ))
