An amendment? Was she serving an Aes Sedai instead..? In the silence as the Amyrlin paused the Borderlander's mind raced. What could it possibly be that was reserved for an Accepted that-?!<br/><br/>Her eyes widened as the proclaimation was finally made, so much so she thought they might pop out of her head altogether like a pair of marbles and clatter onto the floor. There was a rush air taken in as she opened her mouth to exclaim, a reaction she couldn't stifle- and promptly closed her mouth so as not to interupt. She was just stuck standing there, nodding, ready to thank. Clearly it was known just what was on her mind as the Amyrlin raised a finger to caution that this wasn't exactly something good. It seemed like it would be, to Serain, and when someone gave you a gift you thanked them. That was just how it was. When encouraged to ask questions, she struggled to come up with one that might be even the least bit appropriate- if there was a proper way to question woman who made rulers of nations tremble in their boots.<br/><br/>"Mother, I...I would like to thank you anyway. Whether or not I'll prove to be worthy of the opportunity you've given me I'm not sure, but I'd like to that you for it."<br/>She thought a moment- there was only one question thundering through her mind that dominated any others she might have had.<br/>"I know you shouldn't question your superiors, Mother, but I am honestly confused. I've only been at the Tower a few days, I've only Channeled just the once in my entire life, and so far I've been little but trouble as I try and get used to things- what do you see that I so clearly don't?" she asked as she followed the woman back to her desk, studying the work with amazement. To think someone could make something so lovely!<br/><br/>As she stood in front of the desk, waiting and watching the woman write and seal the letter, she was excited to see the signet ring pressed into the wax. She had never seen it before, and it made her think of a story. If she had this position now, she knew that not only was this no excuse to slack off, but that this would make it all the worse if she did. The Amyrlin  Seat herself saw something special about her, and now she was an example to at least every Novice in the Tower and possibly even Accepted as well. She couldn't slip, not even once. It was an enormous amount of pressure, one she was not sure she was ready for, but no matter what she thought, she had to be.
