Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mairyela nodded as Skiiy finished. "I am sorry to hear about that. Every Aes Sedai has an obligation to her Warder, no matter how many she bonds. It is truely an unfair world." Smiling, she decided it would be best if the topic was changed. "Let us begin, then."

Placing her hand on his forhead, she channeled. Closing her eyes, she wove Spirit, Fire, Earth, and smaller weaves of Water and Air. She suddenly began to feel a connection; a powerful, physical connection. The link created between them with her hand was increadible. She could sense his mind, like it was her own. There was nothing she could say to describe it, except a soft "Thank you".

Skiiy braces himself as she places her hand on his head to begin the bonding. Being able to feel someone, always there, in the back of your head, their emotions flooding you mind as if they were your own...he could still remember how it felt, and it had been unlike anything he had experienced before. And it still felt that way.

He actually stumbles back a step as his mind was filled yet again with the someone else's conscious. "Simply...amazing."

((...couldn't figure out how to end this post well...))

Mercury had just been shoved into a bath and then some dinner. It had been a while since she'd had on a Mayener dress. In a way, though it was strange to have such a plunging neckline, it felt more comfortable than the Andoran dresses she'd taken to wearing. The woman who'd greeted her had nodded and concluded that now Mercury looked like a Mayener, since she had on 'proper' Mayene clothing.

Just as she was finishing her meal, she felt Hawk come through the Gateway. She blinked, surprised how fast he'd come. She got up from the table and fixed the dress slightly, before walking out in the direction the bond told her to. When she got outside, she saw him emerging from an alley.

"If I hadn't known it was you Hawk, that would have made my skin crawl." she said, folding her arms just below where the neckline-or in this case chestline-of the dress began.

"Mercury, where are you getting off to without eating dinner?" the woman who'd greeted her asked.

"Just to find my Warder, Jaisa." Jaisa looked over Mercury's shoulder and saw Hawk, examining him a moment. "We'll go get his horse stabled...he's not generally a friendly stallion and we don't want any missing fingers...I'll be back in to eat once we do that." She nudged Jaisa back into the inn and sighed. "I don't know if this is worse than the Tower's Yellows or not..." she muttered to herself. Despite what she said though, the bond showed happiness.

"The stable's this way Hawk...you're in time for some lunch if you want any..." Mercury said, walking to her left. The inn was a three story building, easily the biggest in town, but not without reason. From the bottom floor on each side, a large adjoining section came in. "The left is the stable...the wing on the right is the infirmary...the first floor of the inn is the tavern, the second floor is the rooms, and the third floor is where my family stayed. That's where we're staying, also." She explained as she went along.

Raznon looks back at the Shadow Guard and then back to the Amrylin. He smiles but then lets it drop.

"Well Amrylin...I am still...hoping to become a warder. It may not happen but I can still hope. I still have to find the one "...that will share my pain..." but i spose that if you had need of me I could continue as the Siswai'm'hael. That also means that we will be seeing each other more often on the bright side though. If this is going to carry any effect as we want it to then you will have to make a...decree? Is that the right word?"

Raz looks out and up to the skywondering who is it that will fulfill that blasted prophecy. Sometimes...burn them! But sometimes...not.... At that last thought he looked at the Amrylin. Wait have I even asked her name? Do I have to refer to her has Mother now? Raz lets out a small laugh.

Mercury nodded, and grabbing the saddlebags in air, floated them up through the air and into the third floor of the inn, which led to what had been her mother's room when she was a child. She nodded once she was sure they were in, and then set to walking into the inn.

The inside was relatively empty, since it was still early and most people were still fishing. There were a couple of men though, and the inn staff. She sat down at a table that had a glass of cordial and a bowl of soup by it. Seeing Hawk, a girl went and fetched another bowl of soup, putting it on the table, before going back into the kitchens. Mercury had to hide a smile as she saw the girl blush just before she vanished from sights. "You came very fast...I've barely been here an hour..." She said, sipping the cordial.

"Well, if I'd known I was coming home, I would've told you earlier.." Though half of it would've been forced because of that stupid Oath they made me take to tell them before I left

"Although, now that you're here, I'm not quite sure what you can do for however long we're here...its not a big town, and they usually have all the tasks covered...you might be able to go explore the woods northwest of here...but beyond that, you might be sitting here in boredom.."

She smiled back, but paused. "Don't hurt my friends from home!!" She said, teasing. "Believe me...home is worse than the Tower about being fussed over. In the Tower, it's only the Yellows. Here, it's the entire bloody inn, all my friends I knew from growing up...and Light only knows who else..."
