<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e8/GreenAjah.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong><strong>Moira Niall</strong>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11564337#msg11564337)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Sister, Green Ajah<br/><strong>Bondmate:</strong>Kalain Baneron<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Kalain Baneron<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Saven 5th | 990NE | Evening<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Faire around Tar Valon<br/><strong>Warning:</strong><br/><hr/><br/>She admitted, she didn't really care if he was unwelcome in most of the countries surrounding Tar Valon. So long as he was welcome in the Borderlands (and any man who could wield a sword as well as he could would be!) she was content. When she left Tar Valon, it was the border she headed for. Elaine used to tease her that she could almost be a Blue with her single minded need to go North and fight the Shadow head on...if it weren't for the fact that her crusade was to drive herself into Battle over and over again, that made her uniquely suited to the Green Ajah. It had been a running joke between them since they were girls. Pushing such thoughts aside she cast Kal a warm smile and let the conversation drop entirely as he suddenly spun her in a light twirl that left her nearly breathless with laughter and just dizzy enough that she had to cling to him to keep from stumbling!<br/><br/>She nearly felt it when the realization that he'd agreed to dance long than he meant to hit him and she had to grin up at him when he did. She wouldn't apologize for it, he hadn't had to offer to protect her from partners who didn't know their right foot from their left! In fact she was surprised he'd allowed himself to make such and offer in the first place but they both knew (he couldn't hide it from her with their Bond) that even grump that he was, he was enjoying himself...and so was she. She didn't try to hide her amusement or her pleasure from him as they turned and twirled, complementing each other very well on the floor.<br/><br/>As the night wore on more music played, some songs faster, some slower, but in all of them she never changed partners. While couple around them formed, broke apart, and reformed, trading partners with almost every dance, she remained in Kal's arms. A few men actually plucked up the courage to ask to step in but a glare from Kal, and a gentle shake of her head, were enough to chase any would be interrupters off and word quickly spread that the Aes Sedai had chosen her partner for the evening. What word would say of him in particular she neither knew, nor did she care. What she cared about was the decreasing space between their bodies and the rush of warmth that flowed through her when a slow song gave her the perfect excuse to twine her arms around his neck and let him hold her pressed in firmly against him. It was growing dark by then, and with only the light of torches to light the floor she was half tempted to do something scandalous, but decided she had shocked his fine sensibilities enough for one evening.<br/><br/>He'd danced, and enjoyed it, she wouldn't push her luck further.<br/><br/>At last even<em>her</em>stamina gave out and it was time to leave the floor, time to search out a good perch to watch the fireworks show that the Illuminator's would put on for them. Allowing Kal to lead the way she was surprised to be led toward the edge of the city. The further from the center they went, the dimmer it grew, torches becoming less frequent as they moved away from the fair and she couldn't help but to wonder if Kal had some scandalous plan of his own. What she hadn't expected was for him to stop beside a large, old, tree and offer to boost her into it's branches!<br/><br/>Letting him see the surprise on her face, obvious even in the dim light surrounding them, she laughed softly before placing one booted foot into his hands. Normally she wouldn't need a boost to climb a tree but her shoes weren't the most practical for the job and, in truth, she was simply favorably inclined toward him that night and so she took the help he offered when she might not have otherwise. Counting on the dark to guard her modesty (though he might argue about just how much of that she had!) she let him boost her up, her skirts swirling around her legs as her hands gripped the nearest branch and she pulled herself up with the strength of her arms. Once her feet were secured beneath her she glanced down and flashed a smirk at her Warder before, carefully, climbing up and finding the crook of a thick branch against the trunk of the tree to settle in. The tree was old enough that it's lower branches were wide enough to make excellent seats and through the branches they'd have an excellent view of the sky and the fireworks to come.<br/><br/>"Not a choice I would have expected, but a wonderful idea all the same. I'll have to remember this spot and come to see it in the daylight. Is it as peaceful during the day as it is at night?" she asked, genuinely curious about what drew him to this place while waiting for him to make his own way up into the tree.
