Mercury grumbled at that. "Normally I am too...but they've been gone a while, and I never expected they'd come up here directly...now that I think on it, I should have invited them in to see you. I'll remember that next time...at least I won't have to face them alone....
Out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to know anything about what that 'incident' they were continuing on about, would you?" Mercury knew that at least recently the Twins hadn't said anything, but there was no telling if they'd ever talked to Clarissa right after surprising her, all those years ago.

Sanar and Ryelle briefly nodded back, in too good of a mood after their conversation with Mercury to care about the man's blatant disrespect with their titles; however, he had bowed deeply enough to make up for it in any case, and neither of the twins had their ring or shawl on at the moment. So it wasn't entirely his fault.
They then continued down the hallway, with both twins curiosly wondering about the man. Sanar could sense the ability to channel, but it was so limited that she wasn't even sure it could be called channeling; in fact, the source itself didn't seem to be around him. Puzzling. Ryelle on the other hand had noticed his unusually crafted weapon, and was trying to recall if she'd ever seen it anywhere in real life or in books. Once they turned the corner, one of them wove a ward around themselves. "Whose Warder was that?" "I don't know." "Curious. Ah well; it's in the past now..I wonder if those rumors about Azalea having gone on some quest are true...I do miss her eyes.."

((Aw, crap. My Warder had kerploded. I wonder if a Yellow can help you, Skiiy? Sorry about the wait. Lot of last minute homework!)) Following the sinewy man from a careful distance, she saaw that, as Airene had been right. They were heading straight for the bridge. She was quite grateful to the woman; if Mairyela were ever to meet Nynaeve, she would ask her to take a look at the inn keeper. Giving her back Saidar would be more than she could offer her for her help. Finally reaching the edge of the bridge, he stopped. Walking over, still veiled with the Power, she stopped next to him. The look in his eyes was no longer empty, but hopeful now. He also seemed to be talking to himself. Her keen ears picked up every word, even though he was wispering under his breath. "The unbreakable Tower? Not so. I've seen the cracks in the mortar; I can see them now." She didn't like what he was saying. Seeing the supposed cracks? The only deduction she could make was that the man was mad. "The Tower is swaying. Soon the cracks will break apart, and the Tower will crumble. Any day now and the wicked shall be spited." Without another word, the man began to walk away. She didn't want him to get away, not yet. She had questions for him. Thinking it safe enough, she dropped her veil. "Excuse me." She called at the man. He stopped, and turned slowly. Upon seeing her, he became white as a sheet. "I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me." "Aes Sedai...you were there. I could feel you." She retained eye contact, though his words bothered her a little. Was he a male channeler gone mad? He laughed suddenly. Reaching behind him, he produced a buck knife from behind his belt. She tensed, and reached out for the Power, taking it just in case he tried something. He laughed again. "I can feel you now. To think I respected you people once." He paused, almost looking lost. "Three days. Darkness shall break you once and for all." "What-" before she could finish, he took the knife and thrust it through his gut. Falling to his knees, blood beginning to pool on his clothing, he gave one last laugh before he fell silent, falling forward onto the paving stones. She rushed to him to check his vitals, but she knew it wasn't worth it. Three days. She didn't like any of this. Leaving the body in the middle of the road, she shouldered her bow securely on her shoulder and ran towards the Tower, barely giving the bridge guard a nod.

Skiiy looks back questioningly at the women as he passed them, and stops as soon as he turns the next corner. They were strange...he hadnt seen them around before, and obviously, they knew nothing of his position either. He could plainly see that they were channelers, there was no doubt about that, but they did not wear the normal things the rest of the Aes Sedai did, and they did not get huffy when he had been so informal. He could understand that they did not know his bow is actually a sign of casuality, and not one of respect, but the rest wouldve gotten any normal Aes Sedai quite flustered.
He could still feel Mairyela there in the back of his head...she seemed anxious, but did not seem to be in the slightest bit of trouble at all. Deciding it best to follow them while he is not needed and make sure they are not spies of some sort, Skiiy dissipates a large amount of his energy into the air, feeling its flow. Eventually, he finds the two empty spots that define the position of the women, and he follows them, out of sight, and never to a point where he can actually see them, nor can they see him.

Nekoyasha_Skiiy ((Naw, dont worry, I have pretty good skills at recovering from kerplosions, Ill be fine.)) ((Whew! That's good. What would this place be like without our charismatic Warder?)) The dash across the bridge was, surprisingly, fast for being in a dress. Mairyela took no notice, of course. She had to get her new information to the Amyrlin. If she remembered correctly, she was the one who broke the news of Romvian to the Mother as well. She had to smirk. She had been quite troublesome in the last while. Dashing in, and through, the gates, she ran up the front stairs and into the Tower. The front lobby was slowly emptying due to the growing darkness outside, but there were still quite a number of people still milling about. It took all her power not to elbow or step on anyone. There were a few unapproving looks, even from a couple of Accepted and a young novice, but she was sure even they expected more 'orderly' behaviour. Sidestepping a young, blonde novice, who gave a sqeak of surprise as she passed, she spotted the main staircase a few yards away, and stepped on the speed. Hitting the first step, she was forced to hitch up her skirts to avoid stepping on them. ((I hate having to stop in stupid places. xp ))

((Hehe, if only Skiiy was half as charismatic as Ligan. Apparently, at least among the other guild, he is a much-loved rogue. I don't think he'd become a Warder though, too much trouble, not enough pay. Besides, his wanderlust would cause trouble...))
