<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/fd/Valdar.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Galvren Valynar (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11585469#msg11585469)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Valdar (Newly Risen)<br/><strong>Bondmate:</strong>Open<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Shayella Sedai, mentions Avalyn Sedai.<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Morning, Saven 6th, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Infirmary, Main Ward<br/><strong>Warning:</strong><br/><hr/><br/>And, just like that, his visit came to an end; he knew it was coming, of course - Shayella Sedai couldn't rightly spend all day chatting with him when his injury was no longer exactly pressing, after all; she had other duties to attend to and other patients to treat - but it didn't make the end to their little meeting any less disappointing...it wasn't often that he got to talk with his friends, and even now, in the Infirmary, he was actually having a rather decent time just relaxing and catching up...what's more, the visit had given him something extra to look forward to; even if he didn't see Theraeve Sedai or Accepted Ishara at all that week, he could at least enjoy a pleasant night out with Shayella Sedai where he had her undivided attention, and where they could just speak freely and be friends rather than Aes Sedai and Trainee Warder, or Healer and Patient...it was a small but important distinction to make, since there were always going to be differences in their interactions depending on the environment. and if Shayella Sedai's bright smile was anything to go by, they would be having a lot of fun in the bar after the Faire; Galvren didn't drink particularly often, but when he did, he did so with gusto...and thanks to his Warder training, he could more than handle his alcohol...he'd probably be able to handle even more, if he eventually got Bonded. So there was one upside, at the very least! He heaved himself to his feet before returning his arm back to its resting, slightly protected position lying across his stomach, and gave Shayella Sedai a bright, warm smile and a respectful half-bow of his head. Say it all together now; being friends didn't mean he didn't have to show respect. This was her place of work, and she was still an Aes Sedai and he an Unbonded Warder and visitor to this location where she held seniority, so respect was amply due. It wouldn't do to slip into acting too casual around her now that he was no longer a trainee...a little respect never hurt anybody, after all.<br/><br/>"And I look forward to celebrating with a friend, Shayella Sedai. And my gratitude for both the invitation and the medical advice...I will do my very best not to injure my shoulder more. That would be most...unpleasant." He smiled softly and allowed himself a brief chuckle before offering another small bow and slipping out of the curtained off area, splitting off from her as she went about her remaining duties. He watched after her for a few moments, considering, then smiled and turned to head to the exit. It was strange, wasn't it? You didn't really expect to become friendly with the infirmary staff when you were just a lowly trainee; the Novices and Accepted, perhaps, but they were very often kept away from the male residents of the tower until they were older and - as some of the Aes Sedai said - capable and mature enough to know the limits of acceptability. But the actual full time staff? They were all Aes Sedai, and when you first arrived, at least, you would never expect to become friendly with those aloof, powerful, influential women who always appeared to be all business and detachedly serious...and yet, you soon found that they were just like everybody else in that they had their hostile and friendly members, they had their likes and dislikes and their own little foibles...and sometimes, every so often, you would find one who was friendly enough to befriend. He was lucky in that he had found not one but - technically - three. It was just a shame that he'd only get to see one to celebrate on the 8th. Ah well...these things happened, unfortunately.<br/><br/>He offered a smile to Malene as he passed - prompting a bright smile and a wave from her in return - and exited the Infirmary into the bright light of late-morning, headed towards midday....hopefully, the rest of the day would pass by relatively uneventfully. If something serious were to happen, he would prefer it to be at a point in time where he'd actually be of some use. Nothing worse than being useless in a crisis, after all; he'd felt that way once before, and he never wanted to feel it again. He grimaced briefly at the thought, then shook it clear of his head and strode towards the training grounds...if nothing else, perhaps he could have some fun watching the Trainees train, or perhaps bump into some of his old training-group friends. They didn't mingle much any more, but...well, any company was better than no company, right? He had no other plans for the rest of the day, so....why not? All he'd have to do was keep his arm safe and still, and since he wasn't training or doing any real strenuous activities today...well, how hard could it be? The hardest thing would be to find some way to occupy himself for the rest of the day...he was sure he'd think of something. There had to be<em>something</em>he could pass the time with, after all.<br/><br/><br/><em><strong>End Scene for Galvren. Next Scene: Afternoon, Tar Valon South. In Progress.</strong></em>
