<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/22/AmyrlinSeat.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Amyrlin Raine Alvare (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11557590#msg11557590)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Amyrlin Seat<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Serain, Open<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Evening, Saven 5th, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Amyrlin's Office<br/><strong>Warning:</strong>n/a<br/><hr/><br/>Spoken like a true Borderlander, Raine thought to herself. She half closed her eyes and felt the cool wind that blew in from the West. He was out there somewhere and she knew it, The Dragon. And here she was talking about punishment with a Novice. Raine turned slowly to face Serain and looked up at the tall Saldean with her proud features a contrast to her unsure gaze.<br/><br/>Raine said, "Of course you are no fool so I won't pretend such. You have chosen your own punishment. That you know. I will however exercise my position as Amyrlin to make an amendment to it. There is little need for a novice to serve another novice. That would take away self learning and in my eyes, fault was most likely had on both sides. No, you will not serve a novice. Usually this position is reserved for an Accepted but I see potential in you." She paused a moment to ensure this was a good idea and give herself a bit of reflective time.<br/><br/>The Amyrlin's head tilted with a nod, "You will serve the Amyrlin Seat, Serain." Raine looked for a full comprehension to sink in to the girl. Then waited a moment longer and continued before the girl said something stupid. Which people often do when confronted with unforeseen situations. "There are a number of servants that serve this office but you will meet with your Mistress of Novices tomorrow, accept whatever punishment she sees fit for the transgressions and attend classes as normal. Then you will take your study materials with you and get here with as much haste as is reasonable. The girls that serve this office line up outside in the hall. You will be assigned duties, given chores, sent on errands, and more. This will not be used as an excuse for incomplete studies or for avoiding punishment. The Mistress will know of this."<br/><br/>Raine raised a finger. "Don't think of this as a reward. The position is thankless and tiring. I remember it very well myself. This is simply a way for us to keep a close eye on you. As you said, keep you busy. I will not have a strong student with potential falter because I was too forgiving. So take the night to contemplate your new found position, what you have done and where you want to go. As for making it up to the other. I suggest a hasty apology and mutual understanding to at least start yourself back on the path of redemption in the others eyes. These women are your sisters, earn back their trust and give them opportunity to gain yours as well."<br/><br/>Turning back into the doorway of the office, Raine walked over to her desk and took her seat. "Ask whatever questions you have now if you wish. This will most likely be your last opportunity for sometime. I'm going to draft a letter for you, your first assignment."   Raine picked up quill and parchment and begin to write, her quill strokes were fast but held an elegance to them. The kind of elegance in writing the common tongue that was reserved for nobility. The draft letter was simply advising Serain was to be assigned to her new role as servant to the office of the Amyrlin Seat which would include both Amyrlin and Keeper. As well these duties were to not interfere with Serain's studies and other duties as Novice or anything the Mistress of Novices deemed necessary. Rolling the parchment up, she tied it with a ribbon and sealed it with her signet.
