Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Merry Chrismahannukwanzakah, etc. to you all!!))

Sanar was first to speak, since it seemed the Amyrlin was still sorting things out in her mind-or so she assumed due to the quiet. "You are Wolfkin, correct? I'm sorry I did not catch your name. But I have a question.

I only know a meager amount about the abilities which come with being a Wolfkin, but I understand you can pick out scents. This man who spoke to you; what scent did you receive from him? As best you can explain of course. Or did he have a scent at all?" She queried.

Mairyela jumped slightly, but tried to cover it up with a quick spin towards the Aes Sedai. Giving a nod towards her, she said, "Indeed I am a Wolfkin. I am Mairyela al'Caira, and I am afraid I do not know your name either," she then turned to the other Sister, "nor yours I'm afraid. It is true that our sense of smell is much greater then that of normal people, much like that of a canine. About the man, I wasn't really concentrating on his scent, but if I remeber correctly, at the time there was an...odd scent in the air. I had paid it no mind at first, but it was one of...how can I describe it...dirty feathers?...and mud. I have never smelt anything like that before."

((Well, it had to be weird...and dirty, and it's all I could think of. You know that unique scent feathers have? I put it in 'cause I'm cuddled up to my down pillow ^^. So soft...))

((I think I know what you mean...and that is for some reason indeed a very adorable image...makes me fuzzy inside, and keeps me from laughing at WoT now...*posts link*))

Mercury withheld a sigh at Sanar's introduction of herself and Ryelle to Mairyela. The fact that they didn't individually state who they were-and they couldn't lie verbally because of the Oaths-meant that they'd taken an interest in the Blue, and not just because of her eyes. It also meant they meant to try their confusing mind games with her; it was a pity. Even Azalea had trouble telling the twins apart-even with scent. No doubt the Twins would try to annoy Skiiy too; oh to see that particular clash.

More perplexing was the issue of the madman. Three days was rather soon. There was however the vague possibility that it was a lie to unsettle the Tower. She couldn't believe that Romvian might not resort to tactics like that.

((The pillow was a gift from my aunt; one of those big body pillows. I'm trying to recover from a cold, hence the reason for the cuddle fest with it. ^^))

Mairyela smiled at the two Aes Sedai. They seemed to be quite the pair; one moment the differences between them were just visible, the next they could have been mirror images. "It's nice to meet you Sanar, Ryelle. And no offense taken. He did seem the sort who could have owned a farm of his own."

Just then Skiiy cleared his throat, and stated his piece. His idea's were good, and it covered everything without stepping on anyone's toes. She nodded once he was finished. "I agree those steps would probably be the best defence for the Tower, and I know that the Greens would be more than happy to oblige with the plan. I have a few eyes and ears in Tar Valon, which is how I came across the man in the first place. It may prove to be very valuable."

The Keeper and the Amyrlin both seemed to be deep in thought, so she went on. "I had better get to that as soon as I can. If I may, Mother." Mairyela gave a deep curtsie to the Amyrlin." She wanted to get back to The Lions Den. Perhaps Airene had seen anything else out of the ordinary.

Mairyela turned to leave, as the Amyrlin seemed deep in thought and must not have heard her. Reaching the doorway, she stopped, and idea coming to mind. Adressing the Keeper, she said, "Keeper, just a suggestion, but I think it would be a good idea for you to look into Tel'aran'rihod for any clues. It seems Romvian is deeply linked with the Dream World, and you may be able to uncover something."
