<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>Imoko<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Morning, Saven 5, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Keeper’s Office<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Blue Dress (http://www.wearingideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Royal-Blue-Prom-Dresses-13.jpg) and the Keepers Stole of Office<br/><strong>Warning:</strong><br/><hr/>“It’s the least I can do.”  Aleana replied about breakfast, knowing she had called on her Sister early in the day.  It had been a nice perk that Aleana hadn’t needed to give up her Ajah when she became Keeper.  Even though she always worked to be fair and unbiased with all the people in the Tower, she enjoyed her place among the Blues.  Noting the lack of reaction to Sebelle’s name, she relaxed a bit, glad that the young Novice hadn’t let the fact that she often worked with the Keeper disrupt her behavior around the Tower.<br/><br/>Aleana’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly as she watched Imoko’s face as she answered the question.  It was evident that there was more her Sister wished to say but kept herself silent.  Though silently applauding the professional behavior, as it was completely appropriate, it wasn’t what Aleana wanted today.  “Please, Sister, feel free to speak your mind here today.”  She said, offering to ignore normal social protocol as they spoke.  “I would much prefer for us to speak openly with one another in private rather than holding our tongues.”  What this meeting could begin for them meant that it would be absolutely necessary to speak openly to one another.<br/><br/>After her offer, Aleana returned to the business at hand, nodding her head once.  “I’m glad that they explained to you already.”  She paused for a moment, once again scrutinizing Imoko.  Once the words were spoken, it would be much harder to retract them or change her mind.  If Imoko took her up on her offer, she would be spending a good deal of time learning not just Blue Ajah secrets but some of the Tower’s as well.  “As you well know, I have been quite impressed with you ever since you were a Novice of the Tower.”  She said, seemingly off any sort of point she had been going toward.  “You have been an excellent example to everyone around you through all of the rigors of training here at the Tower and you became a full-fledged Aes Sedai in a minimal amount of time.”  She paused, her tan gaze never leaving Imoko as she spoke.  “For all of these reasons, and ones not even mentioned, I want to ask you to train under me to become the center of the Blue Ajah’s eyes and ears.”  Leaning forward in her chair, she propped her coppery elbows on the table.  “It is my hope, should you decide to take this offer, to pass that particular duty to you.”  Though she didn’t outright say it, she hoped she was clear with her meaning.  Aleana herself had been the head of the eyes and ears of the Blue Ajah since Raine stepped into the role of Amyrlin.  Between those constant reports and the even larger pile she had as Keeper, she rarely had even a moment to herself.  It would be nice to have another she trusted to take up the role and responsibilities in the Blue Ajah.<br/><br/>“Before you decide this, understand that it is a large responsibility.  Your words will not only hold sway in the Blue Ajah but your decisions regarding any of the information will literally determine what happens in the future.”  She explained, her eyes intensely serious.  “Information, as you surely know, comes with a great deal of power.  That power, handled well, will keep the Blue Ajah a force within the Tower and will keep our Sisters updated on events around the world.  That power, handled poorly, could destroy an Ajah.”  Falling silent, she let the words hang in the air, giving time for Imoko to process everything she had just said.  Aleana had no way to be certain but she suspected that Imoko hadn’t quite expected this when she stepped into the office this morning.
