<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>Bondmate</strong>: n/a<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Open, Theraeve, Shayella, (Serain and Rhoven off elsewhere for the moment)<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Evening, Saven 5th, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Fair -> Orphanage to watch the Fireworks.<br/><strong>Warning:</strong>n/a<br/><hr/><br/>It amused Raine watching Theraeve try to part a path through the children at the same time, she was inviting them to come forward for an embrace. For every child that Theraeve would manage to part the way through, Raine would gesture with her hand for them to come around the Red Sister and embrace her. By the time they got to the stair well she was holding hands with a half dozen of them and others sneaking up from behind to hug her about the waist and plant their adorable little faces against her back side in a hug from behind. The women from the tower nor any else knew that she often snuck out here to visit with the Orphanage and bring gifts for the children, to them she was a gentle motherly figure and not the stern absolute ruler of The White Tower. She turned her head and pressed her fingers to her lips to hush the children as some of them started to ask if she brought anything with her. Raine looked back at Shayella who was no doubt following along behind and she gave her a knowing wink. Such an unusual gesture to be seen on the face of the Amyrlin, her mouth held an undeniable warm smile even.<br/><br/>Eventually the group would end up on the flat roof of the building, it's edges lined with intricately latticed wrought stone work walls. Raine walked to the edge of it and stood with a group of a dozen or more children gathered to one side of her. She had ushered them off to one side so the Aes Sedai with her could stand on her right... Gesturing for Theraeve to stand closer. After a few moments even more children would all gather on the roof, the whole orphanage coming up to watch the fireworks with staff members and all. The the staff kept a far distance, they watched the stairs and corners of the stone walls it's more then possible that Shayella would recognize some of the faces, a few former warders in training, and a couple failed novices as well as two full sisters. Raine had managed to acknowledge most of their presences and an observant eye could determine that every one of them was hand picked by herself. Raine finally spoke up com confirming any suspicions they might have.<br/><br/>She spoke to Theraeve but loud enough for Shayella to engage, "Over the years we've had a few very dedicated young novices not strong enough to be raised to the Shawl. If their temperaments, background, and loyalty was strong enough I sent them out to my many orphanages around the known world." She stopped smile at the women, knowing that she was confiding a secret to them both. "The idea was put before me by a young trainee, he had requested to leave the tower to marry a young woman from the far off community of Whitebridge in Andor. His thoughts intrigued me. He said that he was a loyal Tower man but his heart was with his lady friend. It was his proposal to be my eyes and ears in this far off remote location. I agreed and added to it that I would send out young Sisters to him to help from time to time. They would go out under the guise of school teachers for the orphanage that his lady friend owned. They would go there volunteer for a time, send word back and forth to us then leave again to be replaced by others. It worked so well I started to do it all over.... If you are wondering why I am telling you this, it's because I want you to know that if you are ever far from us and require assistance, this is a place where you may find a way to contact us in the Tower. Or specifically me. It's my strongest and deepest network outside of the ones the Blue Sisters have built for us." Raine nodded very slightly, casually stroking the hair of a young girl that was leaning her head against her hip.<br/><br/><br/>
