<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>Kalain, Open<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Early Afternoon, Saven 6th, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Training grounds<br/><strong>Warning:</strong>n/a<br/><hr/><br/>The irksome crunching sounds resonating through Theraeve's ears every time the man's teeth sheered through the apple didn't just make her wince - she could actually feel the veins in her temples throbbing on either side of her head. Obnoxious chewing sounds were something that she could hardly tolerate at the best of times, much less when she was standing in the sun's unforgiving heat, trading not-so-subtle barbs with a the most pompous of asses. Theraeve had half a mind to finally snatch that apple away and force it down his throat so that next time he might remember to show the bare minimum of respect, but through the combined force of her willpower, she was just able to convince herself that he wasn't worth the time or effort.<br/><br/>And she most certainly was<em>not</em>the least bit interested in debating semantics to determine which meal was most appropriate for this time of day. Sensing that she wouldn't be able to suppress the urge for violence bubbling up inside of her, Theraeve quickened her steps, wishing to get far away from this loathsome individual before she did something that she might regret. In her haste, she practically stampeded through him, but unfortunately failed to notice the trap he'd laid out for her.<br/><br/>She took in a sharp intake of breath as soon as she realized what was happening, and by then it was already too late. Her eyes went wide when an elbow come down against the back of her neck, an intense pang of fear jolting up her spine as she understood immediately that he could have snapped her neck right then and there if he'd wanted to. Instead, Theraeve found herself crashing down face first into the sand. Scowling bitterly, she balled her hands up into fists as she swiftly pushed herself back up, turning her body back towards the threat in the process.<br/><br/>Glaring at him with an intensity in each of her dark eyes that made the burning sun above pale in comparison, it was unclear even to her what had been more infuriating and embarrassing - the fact that he'd dared to lay hands on her when she clearly wasn't intending to fight him, or that she'd actually allowed herself to be caught off-guard. That mistake wouldn't happen a second time.<br/><br/><em>“Oh hey look a coin, my lucky day.”</em><br/><br/>"I hope for your sake that it is, wretch!"  Theraeve spat, nostrils flaring angrily as she went after him like a ruthless predator, not so much as the faintest trace of hesitation detectable in her movements. The moment she was in range, she leaning back and twisted her body slightly while launching her right leg into the most vicious sweeping kick that she could manage, aiming for her opponent's flank. Whether it was blocked or landed successfully, she'd already be shifting her weight back forwards into a hard right cross to the face before her foot even had time to come back down to the ground.
