<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/50/BlueAjah.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Aleana Schiller (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11575159#msg11575159)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Keeper of the Chronicles, Blue Ajah<br/><strong>Bondmate:</strong>None (As yet!)<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Ardan<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Evening, Saven 5, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Basement (Continued from Dining Room (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234952.msg11606169#msg11606169))<br/><strong>Warning:</strong><br/><hr/>Stepping into the hallway and away from the dining room, Aleana kept a careful eye on the darkfriend.  Though Ardan had ordered the man to be silent, she wondered if he would obey.  Though she didn’t want a scene inside the Tower, at least more than he had already created, and she could easily stop him from being heard if he did so much as squeak, it gave her a perverse pleasure to leave it to Ardan.  While her way would be gentle and quite painless, the darkfriend didn’t deserve that.<br/><br/>Choosing to walk next to Ardan, even though she trusted him enough that she would easily step ahead, she once again called on Saidar.  Weaving them privacy, even from the darkfriend in their possession, she kept her eyes focused on the man held in front of them.  “What happened?”  She asked, keeping her voice quiet even though, with the One Power, they were protected from eavesdropping.  Allowing him to hear the concern she felt for both him and the situation, she didn’t let it be seen visibly.  “How did you know to follow him?”  She added the second question, her voice laced with gratitude.  He had not only acted in the best interest of the Tower but also her own and she wouldn’t forget it.<br/><br/>As they spoke, she guided them toward the basement and the cells that were used for such a purpose.  A bit of paranoia filled Aleana, not for the first time, and she chose an enclosed cell to question the darkfriend rather than a barred cell.  She didn’t want to be overheard and, on top of that, she didn’t wish anyone else to be able to speak with him without her knowledge.  Anyone in the Tower could get to the basement and potentially speak to those in the barred cells, including the Black Ajah.  Gesturing toward the chosen room, Aleana went inside the nearly empty cell.  A singular chair, hard metal and bolted to the ground, occupied the center of the small space.<br/><br/>“Please set him there and secure him.”  She said to Ardan, no longer keeping the conversation just between them.  While it was her hope to get through their questioning tonight, she knew that it could end up being a several day process.  The darkfriend had enough courage to attempt an assassination within the Tower itself which, to Aleana, meant that he was either incredibly foolish or incredibly brave.  While she hoped for the first, she couldn’t discount the second.  Underestimating him wouldn’t be wise.<br/>
