<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/fd/Valdar.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Rhoven Bryce (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11565549#msg11565549)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Valdar<br/><strong>Bonded To:</strong>None<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Raine, Serain<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Evening, Saven 5th, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Tar Valon Faire<br/><strong>Warning:</strong><br/><hr/><br/>The streets were getting busier as the party moved through the faire grounds, and Rhoven was growing a little more irritable with all of the people trying to approach the Amyrlin. It kept him busy, at least, assessing everyone he saw, though he certainly wasn't going to make any friends glowering at everyone around him. Probably good that he wasn't there for such frivolities in the first place. The Mayor, at least, he recognized, and only gave a cursory glance as he hurried past to ramble at the Amyrlin about something probably inconsequential. It was difficult to tell which of the two actually ran the city. He couldn't picture the man doing anything without the approval of the Amyrlin, beyond minor day to day matters. Then again, the Amyrlin was... Well, herself. Perhaps she micro-managed all of that as well. Still, the evening was going well so far, nobody had tried to kill anyone. When the Amyrlin motioned him over, he retreated to her side, only to frown at her instructions. He wouldn't outright disobey her, of course, but...<br/><br/>He cast a long look about the crowd. They were in the thick of it now, and he didn't want to leave her unprotected. Well, less protected anyway. He shot a look after Serain, and grimaced. He didn't want to leave the Novice unprotected either, but sometimes, you had to make hard choices. If the choice was between protecting the Amyrlin or protecting a Novice, he knew what he'd choose. Sadly, the decision was made for him, and he bowed his head respectfully.<br/><br/>"I understand, Mother. Please be cautious until I return." He requested. Theraeve was still there, as well as Shayella, but as he had thought before, he would have been happier with a dozen Warders present. Blasted Reds, refusing to bond men. Why couldn't some Green Sisters have come with an army between them?<br/><br/>Reluctantly, he departed. For someone so intimidating, and carrying such obvious distinguishing features, it was miraculous how easily he faded in to the crowd and simply vanished. Keeping his gaze on the Novice, he followed her at a distance, keeping out of sight and not drawing attention to himself. Hopefully, the girl wouldn't tarry so they could return to escort duty as quickly as possible.<br/><br/>
