The Keeper was a familiar face; he had joined the tower after traveling with her and a few of her companion in an attempt to make sure that they were safe. He was about to speak to her when someone else caught her attention. If the sight of Aleana Sedai was welcome, the other woman made him want to make a run for the hills. It was Ardan's deepest wish to become Gaidin, but he did not want to be hers.<br/><br/>"Please, Maradyl Sedai, do not remain within the man's reach." Ardan said, grasping at the first excuse to put some semblance of distance between the yellow and himself. He was flattered that she seemed concerned by him, but he felt no chemistry with her, no reason to give up on his freedom and devote his life to her.  Aleana's words eased his worries.<br/><br/>"Of course, Keeper." Ardan felt a small shift in the man underneath him, as if something else was holding the man more solidly than he was and he understood what it was. He took the man by the back of his shirt near the neck and "helped" him to stand up.

He did not want to anger either woman, however, and so he kept his peace and his emotions under wrap.<br/><br/>There was relief in his features when Aleana informed the other woman that help was not desired at the moment. It was something that loosened in the tightness of his shoulders and at the corner of his eyes. With a skilled pressure of his fingers against pressure points of the darkfriend's hand, Ardan forced it to loosen its white-knuckled grip and the knife fell to the ground in a clatter of metal against solid tiles. <br/><br/>"Where you lead, I will follow, Keeper." Ardan said, his voice soft and deep. His grip on the man was unrelenting; an attempt to break free and run away resulted in being jerked right back where he was. Ardan gave the Blue a nod of his head to indicate that he was truly ready.<br/><br/>"I will tell you nothing." The darkfriend hissed.<br/><br/>"Oh… You will talk, but now's not the time. Be quiet." Ardan growled</div>
