<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e8/GreenAjah.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Suana Bemesta<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Acting Sitter, Green Ajah<br/><strong>Bondmate:</strong>Galvren Valynar<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Galvren<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Evening, Saven 7th, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Secluded corner of the garden<br/><strong>Warning:</strong>N/a<br/><hr/><div style="text-align: justify;">Suana heard the first part of his answer and  her own answer to it was quite non-verbal: a flat stare and a flash of annoyance through the bond. Avoidance was not something that she wanted from him, neither were secrets. They were going to live in each other's head, put their lives in the other's hands. Secrets were bad, secrets meant unwanted surprises such as what happened just now. If she had known, she would have behaved accordingly. The flinch however, the fear and all that came with it rubbed her off the wrong way. She didn't take offense in it, but that he dodged the answer bothered her.<br/><br/>"It is serious, Galvren. It's very serious." Suana said, stressing on the word 'very'. "There are many things that I could bear when I touch you, but fear and revulsion are very much like… dunking my head in the ice cold water of the pond in the heart of winter. You are not my first warder. I know how to read the bond. I can feel your arousal, your desire, but yet when I come to touch you, to remove your shirt you flinch away from my hand, and those emotions… They make me very uncomfortable." Suana couldn't help but to wonder if the desire wasn't simply one of a man who had not had the opportunity to be with a woman in so long, rather than to be a desire for her in particular. Was there something about her and her touch that was undesirable?<br/><br/>"And of course I care. You think that I bare myself for any man who has beautiful eyes and nice calves?" Suana asked, but there was no anger or annoyance in her tone or in the bond. Concern filled her, but while he had not soured the mood as he feared he might have, he did bring the high flame down to glowing ambers for the time being. It wouldn't take much for her to get in the mood again, to kiss him and touch him… There was a touch of self-doubt in the bond, something that the Aes Sedai did not feel every often and which she definitely loathed.<br/><br/>The string of "what if"s that went through her mind was quick, short but exhaustive. Not once did it cross her mind that Theraeve could have something to do with. As she sat there, into his lap in a most delightful manner all things considered, bare-chested and longing to kiss, Suana hoped that she had not made a mistake, that she had not bonded a man based on a lie. She had been blunt in speaking her desires, what if he had lied to please her? She didn't think that Galvren would lie, not when there was a bond in play. Unless he wanted the bond so badly that having to be intimate with her seemed a small price to pay… Suana sighed, but kept a tight smile on her lips. "It feels like someone told me they have a bad news, but they'll tell me later. I am not very fond of the suspense, but neither am I fond of the idea of coercing a secret out of you. Maybe we should celebrate with food and wine for now." Suana suggested and she looked down at her dress while her hands began to gather the fabric that would be covering her from the waist up.</div>
