Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kakashi Nakamura was a fairly tall man, standing at six and a half feet tall. His shoulder length hair was kept loose behind his head. His eyes were sharp and aware, but were a contrast to his gentle and handsome face. On his chin was a well groomed goatee that matched the color of the nearly black hair on his head. In his right hand he held a quarter staff, nearly as tall as he was. His left hand was bent up towards his chest, gripping the left strap of a medium sized travel pack. His clothing was rather plain and spoke of a long travel and of a previous life of farming. Dark breeches clothed his legs and a white shirt that looked as if it had been slept in on his upper body. His boots had the look of being well worn, but comfortable. They also looked to be of good makings.

Casualy was how Kakashi strode into the great city of Tar Valon. This was the city that he had always dreamed of coming, and now that he was here, he couldnt help but grin gleefully. It was everything and more than he had imagined. The buildings all flowing together with beautiful Ogier architecture, the pathways, and especially the White Tower itself. That tower alone was the single most remembered image that Kakashi had ever seen. For several moments he stood in awe, until that is, a man bumped into him from behind, turned to apologize, then walked away into the crowd.

Jerked from his daze, Kakashi laughed at himself before resuming his walk. He headed off towards the Tower, keeping it insight almost constantly, only looking away to wonder at the various other towers and buildings. It was all so pleasing to his eyes. Sure, he had never felt quite at home in a small town, but this was just amazing and wonderful.

It took Kakashi almost an hour and many wrong turns, before he managed to reach the nearly barren courtyard of the White Tower. While others might stay away from it or simply stand at the edge of the courtyard staring, Kakashi walked boldly across the stone courtyard and up the steps to the doors. Pushing the doors open, Kakashi was once more awestruck by what he saw. He saw many people milling around, some in nobles clothing and others in farmers garb like himself. Others were dressed in a wide variety of clothing that ranged from plain to extravegant, but it was some of those that drew his gaze at first. They were the Aes Sedai. It wasnt long before his eyes also began noticing the occasional Warder flowing through the milling throngs of people. The Warders were just as he remembered. Grace like a wolf and eyes like a hawk's. Some of them that he saw even wore their color changing cloaks that he had heard stories about. Just looking at those men made his head lurch. He was finaly where he had always wanted to me. Almost. "Now then," he muttered to himself, his soft voice a pleasant baritone, "To find out where I go to sign up." He grinned to himself and began asking around for where he might be able to register for Warder training.

Vancelle found herself wandering the halls of the Tower. Katerine was not in her room and she just didn't feel like looking for the other blue sister. At some point, she came to the main reception hall which was filled with visitors. The various people bowed or curtsied to show their respect as she glided by. Vancelle was the picture of an Aes Sedai. Calm and coolness was a second skin that few people were able to fluster. Stopping a novice, Vancelle looked at the girl before giving a smile.

"Child, have you seen Katerine Sedai lately?"

The novice curtsied and shook her head before answering in a demure voice.

"No I have not, Aes Sedai. Would you like me to search for her?"

"No that will not be necessary. Go about your business."

The novice curtsied again before hurrying off to help a group of petitioners. Vancelle glided out of the reception area and out into the sunshine.

Where did Kat go? Surely she hasn't left already. I remember her mentioning something about getting a warder first. Oh I wish I had a warder sometimes.

Kakashi soon found it difficult to manage to get someones attention. Twice now he had been told that he would be seen to, yet two hours later, there he remained in the entrance hall of the White Tower. Fuming slightly he sat down against a wall decided to take a nap. He had been on the road for quite a while today. If someone didnt like him sleeping here, he really didnt care. They could at least let him know where to go for Warder training, instead of telling him to wait then never coming back. He would look around the tower himself, but didnt feel like being held at sword point and told to explain why he was where ever he might end up. "Bloody place...So many people and no one kind enough to point me in the right direction."

((Yay! I am being vicitimized!...I mean...Helped!))

Kakashi snaped back to awareness rather quickly and stood up a bit clumsily. He looked the Warder up and down, then kept his gaze on the man's eyes. "Yes, in fact, I could use a bit of help. I've come here to try and become a Warder. Always wanted to for as long as I can remember." He grinned a bit then shrugged. "My name is Kakashi Nakamura. Kashi for short. It's nice to meet you Skiiy."

((Yes, having a friend in the guild is always helpful. I, though, am starting here with no one. ^_^; ))

Kakashi looks as if he is about to burst with excitement, but he managed to keep it to a gleeful look that spread across his face. "Sounds great! I get my own room, or will I be sharing it with another trainee?" He began to follow, picking up his staff in his right hand and his pack in his left.

((Sounds like a bunch of fun. And yay for friends! I actually cant wait till I get more involved in the rp. Ive been reading the books for the last couple years. Ive actualy started re-reading the books.))

((Arg...need sleep. I'm about dead. I'll pick up with the search for warder training tomorrow. >_< Night all.))

"We get our own rooms, though they aren't very big at all, there's actually an open one right next to mine, you can use that one!" Skiiy leads Kakashi through the warder training yard, where there are many warders practicing with each other. "Ya, you're in room twelve, 6th one on the left, I'm in 10 next door, if you ever need anything and I'm there, you can come talk to me."
