Ardan agreed with a nod of his head. He wasn't some mindless puppet who would never have a mind of his own or take decisive actions, but he picked his battles and arguing that he should not meet the Amyrlin in the morning would have been both useless and senseless. He was bonded to the keeper, so unless Aleana decided to send him away, he would meet the intimidating Amyrlin whenever his Aes Sedai desired for him to be there.<br/><br/>"There is nothing that I have to do now that cannot wait for morning. Besides, finding the Master of Arms to inform him of the changes and make my report would require finding him. I doubt that he is on the Tower's grounds at the moment. Not with the first evening of the Faire right outside our doors." The faire was not that close to the Tower, of course, but it was in Tar Valon, so it was close. The evening shadow of the Tower would be cast onto the faire.  "I can probably hope to move my things to a new room in the Gaidin's wing only in the morning. I will stay with you, if that is what you prefer." Getting his color-shifting cloak and his warder sword would also wait for the morning. He was a Gaidin! There was a surge of excitement at the thought that could most likely be felt through the bond.<br/><br/>Ardan did not resist when Aleana decided that the embrace had lasted long enough. He nodded in agreement to her statement. There was a lot to discuss, he needed to be aware of her expectation if she meant for him to meet them. Bond or not, he still wasn't able to read his mind and women still were as confusing to him as ever. He certainly had a few dozens of questions of his own, unknowingly quite similar to the one in the Aes Sedai's mind. <br/><br/>When Aleana mentioned that she should get changed, Ardan considered the door was it was proper for him to leave, but her next words made him freeze. He felt his cheeks prickle slightly and cursed being caught off guard so easily with a single question. He was Andoran, and raised to be proper, but he did feel the urge to stay by her side. It was more than being here if there was another attempt on her life. He wanted to be with her.<br/><br/>"Ah… uh… A pair of clean smallclothes?" He said, and it sounded like a question even to his ears. "I can go and get it myself. It wouldn't take me long…" Ardan insisted. He would probably take a clean change of clothes too, while he was at it, and maybe even wash up a little so that she won't have the feeling of sleeping with an old leather armor beside her, and… Ardan took a deep breath and his emotions shifted as training kicked in. He became calm again, but if Aleana paid attention to the bond, she would learn of one of the things that threw him off balance, if only for a time.</div>
