<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c1/RedAjah.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Theraeve Valaim (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11557599#msg11557599)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Shayella, Closed<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Afternoon, Saven 5th, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Her private suit in the Tower<br/><strong>Warning:</strong>n/a<br/><hr/><br/>Even though Shayella was just about always excessively sweet to her, Theraeve's eye still widened a bit as the enthusiasm with which her friend flattered her managed to catch her a bit off-guard once again. It seemed like no matter the circumstances, Shayella just had a knack for lifting her spirits and making her forget everything wrong with the world, if only for a little while. Theraeve appreciated and cherished every second of those little whiles, more than she showed it and perhaps more than she even consciously realized it, but they were much needed vacation - little sunny, tropical islands of sunlight in a sea of darkness.<br/><br/>Responding with only a couple of meek protests when Shayella took it upon herself to do more than just pick out the dress, Theraeve was quick to give in. She couldn't deny that it felt very nice to be pampered for once, plus it was quite fun to watch her friend get so excited and worked up about something that she was passionate about. In fact, she was smiling so much more than usual that it almost felt like her lips were beginning to get sore.<br/><br/>Once it was all said and done, Theraeve's cheeks glowed nearly the same color as her dress as she admired herself in the mirror while Shayella showered her with more praise. "Oh come on, I'm not all that! I don't even look half as beautiful as you do when you roll out of bed in the morning!" she countered, again sounding uncharacteristically bashful.<br/><br/>Turning around from the mirror which she'd been standing in front of again, she came face to face with Shayella, who was standing there in that familiar pose with both hands on her hips like a mother giving her child a stern talking to. Shayella's presence actually did feel a bit motherly at times, in the best possible way, which was still quite ironic considering she was the younger of the two.<br/><br/>"What!?" Theraeve asked with exaggerated shock. "I was going to say yes...really!" Furrowing her brow while making her best puppy-dog eyes, she raised her hands palm-up in exasperation before finally sighing and going to open the door so they could head down to the kitchen. "And you better be ready to heal me again if I trip and break my ankles going down the stairs," she warned, sounding a bit more like her usual self as she tugged lightly on the train of her dress.<br/>
