Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mercury shook her head slightly at the response. "I assumed you would say something like that...but Hawk...it's not a matter of anything you try to do...whether you grant it or not, I WILL go." She said firmly, as she looked at him. Her arms were crossed, which was a decent indication of her resolution.

"The only difference is the manner in how I leave. If you don't agree, then I'll have no choice but to close the bond and leave without warning; and until I come back, you won't see, hear, or find so much as a glimmer of my prescence." The bond filled with regret as she said the words. "If you do agree, then the bond will only be closed part of the time, and I can leave messages or something of the sort for you in Tel'ar'an'hoid, so that you'll still have some notion of affairs.

I know it's against what you want to let me do this, so I won't ask for an immediate answer. Until I manage to clear up this illness, you can think on your answer." She sighed heavily, and the bond still held signs of regret, as she tried to decide whether she should leave the kitchen or go down to the infirmary.

As he heard her response he realized his jaw became hard. He is not only facing an ordinary woman who have made her decision but an aes sedai that can make it happens whenever she wanted. A stubborn aes sedai. He is still facing her as she threw to him her ultamatum. He know he is pinned down this time but even so he just cant let her go. He started swearing silently, something he havent done for many years and not infront of his aes sedai and beloved, but he cant helped it cause he dont know how to persue her on her decision and how to cloth the words he have coming from his heart. His stood there like a wooden tree that can not be moved, his face emotionless and hard as granite stone.

As she finally decided to make her way to the infirmary, which meant passing Hawk, she was mildly surprised to hear him swearing. That was something she'd never heard him do in the entire time they'd been bonded. Mercury considered saying something, but likely they'd only end up arguing more. So instead, she walked past her Gaidin and opened the door leading to the infirmary wing, closing the door to the kitchen behind her.

Raznon sat and watched Clarrisa look at her paperwork. He chuckled and tried to hide it but he wasnt to successful. He then grimaced at the thought that he would have to do that soon as well. He then pulled out his cutting wood and knife and began to widdle at it.

((ish bored and *L* @ Kaki))

Quickly before Skiiy and Mairyela entered Clarissa wove saidair to hide the large black circles under her eyes from the sheer exhaustion and sadness of the last few days. Her thoughts strayed to Yurin and that one kiss but she steadied herself and called. "You may come in."

Walking into the Amyrlins study, she noticed another person in the study as well. The man had the physical appearance of an Aiel, and seemed to be asleep. Curtsying deeply to the Amyrlin, her heart went out to her. She had had to deal with so much strife over the last couple days.

"Good day, Mother." Straightening herself, she went on. "I have come with very serious news, of which I thought it best to say in person instead of on paper. After interrogating the man and woman whom we arrested yesterday, we have a lead. They both work for a darkfriend named Romvian, an apparent Dreamwalker. His plan is to take the Tower for himself, and use Aes Sedai and Warder alike as tools to meet his goals." Pausing a moment, so she didn't dump everything at once on top of the Amyrlins head, she continued.

"We also have reason to believe that this man has hired the Seanchan to help him. I was attacked by one last night. Skiiy managed to knock him out, and we interrogated him as well. His orders were to find and leash any Aes Sedai he could manage, Dreamwalkers and Wolfkin were prefered. He also said there are others in Tar Valon with him, with the same orders." Pausing again, she thought of the a'dam in the basement and gave an inwards shudder. "With your permission, Mother, I would like to form an envoy to the Seanchan islands to meet with their Empress. We must convince her somehow to remove her solders. If no agreement is reached, we still would have an opportunity to investigate her in her own domain. The trip could be very valuable to us in finding out who this Romvian is." Finishing her report, she stood back to wait for the answer.
