<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/fd/Valdar.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Rhoven Bryce (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11565549#msg11565549)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Valdar, formerly Gaidin<br/><strong>Bonded To:</strong>None<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Raine, Theraeve, Shayella, Aelrin, Kimika, The Kitchen Sink<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Evening, Saven 5th, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Amyrlin's Office -> Tar Valon<br/><strong>Warning:</strong><br/><hr/><br/><br/>Rhoven watched attentively from his position by the wall as people began to filter in. It wasn't as if he suspected there might be an attack here, of all places, but, he felt more useful keeping alert anyway. Aelrin, the Master of Archery, was next to arrive. He did twitch slightly at the use of his ‘new’ title, but nodded in acknowledgement. It would be useful to have someone skilled with a bow around, especially one so talented as Aelrin. Whatever sense of rivalry he might have once felt towards the man was pointless now, though it still irked him somewhat. He tried to concentrate on how best to position the master archer instead. It would be difficult down on the streets, but, perhaps more vantage points could make themselves available should the group stop to view the rumored fireworks.<br/><br/>Next up was Kimika Togita, the Mistress of Novices. He recognized the woman due to her position, as well as the fact that she had been the first to reach him when he had returned to the Tower from his failure of a mission. She had healed his injuries for him, and he regretted that he had never thanked her for it properly, having been in a bit of a shock at the time. Perhaps he would get an opportunity during the evening. Either way, it would be useful to have a woman of her talents around. Anyone who specialized in healing could be an asset should the evening go wrong, and someone get injured. Pleasantly surprising, another yellow entered not long after. Shayella, he thought? He had seen her a few times around the infirmary. His visits there were infrequent, but usually wound up with him being chastised, and told to stop fooling around. Apparently, the leg pains were all in his head. Indeed. He rolled his eyes (eye) inwardly. Still, the lovely, beautifully dressed woman had valuable skills, though Rhoven hoped they wouldn’t be needed.<br/><br/>“Aes Sedai.” He greeted her softly, inclining his head respectfully as she came to stand near him.<br/><br/>Her companion, however, made him raise an eyebrow in surprise. Theraeve, he knew, though he had never seen her looking like… This. Their previous encounters had been business, and dirty business at that. She had been efficient, practical, skillful, deadly… Now she looked gorgeous and elegant. It was a bit of a shock, though certainly not an unpleasant one. Their gazes met briefly as he caught her looking towards him, and his lingered on her for a moment before he put his mind back to business. He knew he could trust the Red, and trust in her skills, so he would focus on how fortunate they were to have her along than on how she may have looked. Even if she seemed to have dressed to make that as difficult as possible.<br/><br/>When the Amyrlin was prepared to leave, he bowed respectfully and moved slightly ahead of the group to keep the way clear. He didn’t expect any problems until they reached the streets, but, it could never hurt to be careful. If there was some nefarious trap lying in wait, he fully intended to be the first one in to it. He didn’t exactly begrudge the Amyrlin her decision to wander the streets among the people, but, he did wish she would be a little more mindful of her own safety and security, given recent events… Hopefully, between the group that had now gathered, they could keep everyone in one piece through the night.
