<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 to Gaidin)<br/><strong>Bondmate:</strong>Nasha<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>None, yet.<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Afternoon, Saven 7th.<br/><strong>Place:</strong>The Grounds, North Gate.<br/><strong>Warning:</strong><br/><hr/><br/>It was perhaps too much to hope for that the one Aes Sedai who was without a Warder and who wanted to go into the city on the same day that Galvren happened to be free and bored was also gifted in Healing, despite being a Brown. He had secretly hoped that that was the case, of course - why wouldn't he? Anything to get this damnable shoulder fixed and better as soon as possible in order to let him start seeking out a Bondmate - but it was not surprising or even disappointing to be informed that it was not to be. How could you get disappointed over something not going a way that you didn't expect in the first place? As far as he could see, there was no reason to even suspect that he might have gotten a healing out of it, so there was no reason to feel let down since it was never on the table in the first place. He hadn't "lost" anything except the small hope that it<em>might</em>be possible. Still, her offer of a weave to get people to avoid his shoulder was the next best thing, if nothing else; if he was headed into town, then if he couldn't get his shoulder fixed on the spot at least he could get people to give it a wide berth. Honestly, it wasn't the lack of mobility but the impact that he felt whenever it was knocked around that annoyed and hurt him. Without the crowds insistence on shoving into his shoulder, he could at least enjoy the sites of the faire without being in near-constant pain. He nodded to the Aes Sedai and gave a small, polite bow by bending his waist just a little and dipping his head towards the ground. "I would appreciate that very much, Nasha Sedai," he said deferentially, "My gratitude for your generosity."<br/><br/>Of course, Galvren couldn't even hope to feel the effects of The One Power given that he wasn't female and - thankfully - nor could he Channel, but given the satisfied look on Nasha Sedai's face after a brief moment of concentration - during which she did seem to take on a slight glow, though that might have just been his imagination - he was willing to trust her implied confirmation that the Weave was in place. He wouldn't know for certain until he got out into the streets proper, but for now, he was willing to advance as if his arm was completely fine in the crowds and that people would just subconsciously go around him rather than through him....of course, if the weave was either non existent or flawed, he would be on the floor in great amounts of pain in no time...but he didn't think that Nasha Sedai would do that. She seemed genuine, at the very least, and some Aes Sedai wouldn't have even offered<em>any</em>help or sympathy for his shoulder injury. At least Nasha Sedai attempted to do him some good, and if that good meant that he could go see the Faire that he'd heard about every year since he first got there, then he was willing to take the risk that she was offering him a comforting lie; after all, she never said that the weave was completed, just that she<em>could</em>create one.<br/><br/>Still...why would she imply that she did it and not do it, when she was by her own admission looking for an escort? It just didn't make sense. He smiled back at her in a friendly-but-deferential manner - it didn't do to appear too friendly to Aes Sedai you didn't know, just in case; some of them got prickly about that sort of thing - and bowed his head again as he took a few strides in order to fall into step beside her. "Let us see what wonders the Faire holds this year, Aes Sedai," he said, glancing at her briefly. "May I ask if there is there anything specific that draws you to there on this occasion, Aes Sedai? Or is it simply healthy curiosity?" He offered another small smile; he was now bound to her service until she returned safely to the tower...so an attempt at small talk, at least, could help break the ice a little. Besides, he didn't know much about the Faire, busy with training has he had been that past decade, so any information he could glean would be interesting and potentially useful. He was honestly intrigued and excited now that he thought about it. Let's hope that it could live up to his expectations...he did so dislike being disappointed.
