<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 listened to what he decided to share and realized how her words had sounded. She didn't think him weak, or that he would need her to hold his hand through whatever came their way. She would hold his hand, but as an equal and a partner, not like a mother with her child. She felt a flash of guilt and annoyance directed toward herself for her awkwardness with words; she should have been a lot better at handling this. She could blame it on it being harder considering that she was half naked and pressed up against a man that she had desired in this manner for some time, but that would be weak of her, and false. Arousal and desire did not prevent clear thoughts, not at this level.<br/><br/>She nodded her head as he gave her his thanks, growing more at ease with their talk and the way it went. They had known each other for some time, but always with a certain distance between them, the distance between an Aes Sedai and an untested valdar with whom she had traded bruises, and chatter in this little corner of the garden. There was something to be said about being friends first, and for a while. Of course, Sidon had been such a great childhood friend, and meeting again as adult had seemed to have their friendship resume right where they left off. Her bond with Sidon had been dreadfully short; a handful of months. Bonded shortly before the war, and bond severed by the end of it. Suana pushed thoughts of Sidon aside and refocused on her friend, bondmate and soon-to-be lover.<br/><br/>"Let us put this all behind us. Today is too good a day to let this mood drag on, my friend. Allow me." Suana said and offered him a smile after his gentle kiss to her cheek. She moved her body backward just enough to put a distance between them,  She bundled some of the dress at her waist and pulled it upward over her head. In a split second, she was naked but for her white smallclothes, white thin socks that went over her knees and soft-soled boots that were suitable for long walks, riding or fighting. As her arms went to wrap around his neck again, she tilted her head with the obvious intent of kissing him; not shy, not hesitant, but assertive, confident and filled with desire, all of which he would be able to feel through the bond. She wanted him, wanted to be with him; there was no possible doubts from here on.</div>
