				<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c1/RedAjah.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong> Theraeve Valaim (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11557599#msg11557599)<br><strong>Position:</strong> Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Shayella, Closed<br><strong>Time:</strong> Afternoon, Saven 5th, 990NE<br><strong>Place:</strong> Her private suit in the Tower<br><strong>Warning:</strong> n/a<br><hr><br>It had been a rough night for Theraeve, most of which she'd spent tossing and turning in her bed, unable to find more than a few minutes of sleep at a time. She'd returned to the Tower on the previous evening with her latest capture, a particularly spirited and angry one who'd left her a nasty bump on the back of her head to remember him by. Ever since, she'd been suffering from a relentless pulsating headache which she'd written off as nothing at first, but it had only gotten progressively worse since then.<br><br>By the time that the sun had finally come up and she'd given up on getting any rest, it wasn't just Theraeve's head pounding anymore, but also constant feelings of dizziness and nausea which completely robbed her of any appetite. Still, it felt wrong to be moaning about something so trivial when she considered what the young man whom she'd brought to the Tower would be suffering, not just today but for months if not years to come. <br><br>Thankfully, a couple glasses of wine taken in lieu of breakfast had allowed her to keep it together long enough to get through the morning meeting which she'd been summoned to by the sitters of her Ajah. Upon returning to her quarters, Theraeve tossed her blood red shawl over the back of a chair but otherwise didn't bother changing out of the relatively conservative outfit that she'd worn for the meeting. It was a long-sleeved, form fitting burgundy dress with a modest neckline and glossy leather shoulderpads for a touch of flair, as well as a matching leather underbust corset worn over it which meant that her breasts were still quite prominent despite being mostly covered up. She still looked a bit of a mess with her hair slightly disheveled and the dark circles under her eyes...but a mess which had made some amount of effort to put itself together, at the very least.<br><br>The light knock against her door came shortly afterwards, right as she'd finished downing another glass of wine in a misguided attempt to keep that sensation of nauseousness at bay. Putting down the block of ice wrapped in cloth which she'd been holding against her head, Theraeve got up and went to let Shayella in, already knowing it was her just based on her manner of knocking. That, and Theraeve didn't get too many visitors in general.<br><br>Seeing her friend standing there, looking immaculate as always and wearing a pleasant smile upon her even more pleasant face, the blonde could only offer up a tired groan instead of a proper greeting while her eyes dipped down to the floor. At face value, it seemed like annoyance, and most would surely have taken it as such, but Shayella knew her well enough to see through it. If anything, Theraeve was slightly embarrassed since she knew that she should have gone to see a healer herself, and because she had a hunch that her friend from the Yellow Ajah would disapprove of her the way she'd tried to deal with the injury herself by drinking herself numb.<br><br>All of that aside, however, Theraeve was still delighted to see Shayella, as was always the case. Stepping aside, she invited the other woman inside with a nod of her head before going to take a seat on her still unmade bed. Placing her hands on her knees, she took a breath and let her shoulders slump a bit as she opened her mouth to speak. "You're looking particularly glamorous this afternoon...special plans for tonight?" Theraeve asked in a thinly veiled attempt to deflect the conversation away from herself, although she was also a little bit curious. <br><br>

That was always a quality in people that she could appreciate, having never been one for beating around the bush herself. And yet, while she usually came of as overly blunt or even rude, Shayella managed to do it with the same flawless grace that she carried herself with. <br><br>It made Theraeve feel like the other woman genuinely cared, which was a rarity, since her close friends could be numbered on a single hand while still having fingers left over. Much of that was her own fault, admittedly. Friendships required time and nurturing, and most of the time when she was home, Theraeve was rarely in the mood to see anyone unless it was for a night of relieving stress with as little talking as possible. <br><br>In fact, she wasn't much in the mood for seeing anyone right now, either, but she could always make an exception for Shayella. Just knowing that her friend had thought to check in on her touched her more than she let show. "Mhmm..." Theraeve nodded slowly, reliving the heated battle that she'd had with the male channeler in her head. "My head may have ended up challenging a stone wall at some point..." she finally admitted, wincing a bit at the memory as the bump left from the impact seemed to flare up angrily in response.<br><br>"It was a draw," she added, one corner of her full lips finally curving upwards into a little smirk as she turned her head to look into Shayella's discerning blue eyes. "Before you fix that, though, please get me out of this bloody thing." Tugging on the front of her leather corset, Theraeve turned her upper body so that her back was facing Shayella, giving her access to undo the strings.

She was just as protective of her friend, which was the only reason that she was always reluctant to bring Shayella along on her travels. It was just so much easier to have peace of mind knowing that Shayella was safe, and that it was only her own well-being on the line. That being said, however, there was no denying that her Yellow Sister's assistance had proven invaluable on several occasions.<br><br>Sighing softly with relief as the corset came undone, Theraeve pulled it off entirely and tossed it behind her over the bed before standing up. While the lovely brunette shared her evening plans, Theraeve casually slipped out of her dress and allowed it to crumple around her feet before stepping out of it. Then she pulled both of her boots off one at a time by pressing down on the heel with her opposite foot, leaving her wearing nothing but a thin white linen camisole which came down to her mid-thigh.<br><br>Sitting back down next to Shayella, Theraeve suddenly took her friend's hand, cupping it between both of her own. "Hey. There's no need to worry yourself with me, I promise I'll be alright," she said earnestly, returning to the topic from a few moments earlier. "And you know that we can't tell lies," the blonde added more lightheartedly with another little smirk.<br><br>"Alright, do what you need to do." Swinging her legs up on to the bed, she laid down on her back behind Shayella with her fingers interlocked over her belly. "And you'll be surprised to know that I <em>do</em> plan on going! I happen to have been appointed as the Amyrlin's escort tonight...want to tag along? Please say yes."

Theraeve conceded with mock-grumpiness, knowing perfectly well that the job she was sent out to do was indeed amongst the most dangerous. Of course, she wasn't fooling Shayella, not with her lips still curving up into an almost serene smile as she felt the other woman's touch upon her forehead and closed her eyes.<br><br>With the healing energy of Sayella's weave coursing over and through her like a chilly stream of water, Theraeve's lips parted as she hissed softly through her teeth and unconsciously arched her body up a little bit. When the brief moment was over and the pain in her head - as well as everywhere else - had cleared up, she didn't didn't seem phased at all about her nipples standing up and sticking out quite prominently through her camisole's thin fabric. Theraeve wasn't embarrassed or particularly shy about her own body, and she obviously felt quite comfortable around Shayella, which was why she was also glad about her friend accepting the invitation.<br><br>"Regal?" she repeated doubtfully, lazily stretching herself out over the bed like a cat. "Uhhhm...I believe that I'll be deferring to your expertise and flawless taste on this matter." Rolling over on to her stomach, Theraeve crossed her arms under the pillow and rested her head over it so that she was looking out in Sayella's direction. "My closet is your hunting ground," she added, languorously raising an arm to point at it. <br><br>Even though she wasn't sleeping, it felt like the first time she'd actually been able to get any real rest in a while, so any excuse not to get up just yet was a good one. That, and having Shayella put her outfit together could never be a bad thing, since it was a well known fact that her friend's sense for fashion was among the very best.

It was fairly well stocked, actually, including a few more eccentric pieces collected during her travels, although many of the outfits were seldom or never worn. Such was the case with the dark red dress that Shayella ended up settling on.<br><br>Being all excited right after having been accepted into her Ajah, Theraeve had gone on quite a shopping spree to celebrate, which was when she'd acquired that particular dress. It had just been taking up space in her closet ever since, as the right opportunity never seemed to come around. If Shayella believed that it was appropriate for escorting the Amyrlin to the fair, though, then who was she to argue? Especially after asking for her help.<br><br>Shutting one eye, the blonde thoughtfully inspected the garment with the other for a few seconds, feeling a bit hesitant but also curious how it would look on her at the same time...not that she'd admit it. "Well, I did say I was at your mercy," Theraeve admitted as she pushed herself up and sat on the edge of the bed. With the way that the dress was designed, strapless over one shoulder, it wouldn't work with her camisole underneath, so she lifted it over the head and got up to her feet all in a single motion.<br><br>Wearing nothing more than the small patch of neatly trimmed pubic hair which covered her mound, she marched up to Shayella and snatched the dress out of her hands. Stepping into it, Theraeve switflty pulled it up and shimmied her way into it. "What do you think?" she asked with the faintest hint of diffidence, standing in front of Shayella at first, and then giving her a view of the back as she turned to view her reflection in the tall mirror placed in the nearby corner. if the room. Theraeve felt tentatively good about the look, although she honestly valued her friend's opinion more than her own on the matter.

				<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c1/RedAjah.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong> Theraeve Valaim (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11557599#msg11557599)<br><strong>Position:</strong> Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Shayella, Closed<br><strong>Time:</strong> Afternoon, Saven 5th, 990NE<br><strong>Place:</strong> Her private suit in the Tower<br><strong>Warning:</strong> n/a<br><hr><br>Even though Shayella was just about always excessively sweet to her, Theraeve's eye still widened a bit as the enthusiasm with which her friend flattered her managed to catch her a bit off-guard once again. It seemed like no matter the circumstances, Shayella just had a knack for lifting her spirits and making her forget everything wrong with the world, if only for a little while. Theraeve appreciated and cherished every second of those little whiles, more than she showed it and perhaps more than she even consciously realized it, but they were much needed vacation - little sunny, tropical islands of sunlight in a sea of darkness.<br><br>Responding with only a couple of meek protests when Shayella took it upon herself to do more than just pick out the dress, Theraeve was quick to give in. She couldn't deny that it felt very nice to be pampered for once, plus it was quite fun to watch her friend get so excited and worked up about something that she was passionate about. In fact, she was smiling so much more than usual that it almost felt like her lips were beginning to get sore. <br><br>Once it was all said and done, Theraeve's cheeks glowed nearly the same color as her dress as she admired herself in the mirror while Shayella showered her with more praise. "Oh come on, I'm not all that! I don't even look half as beautiful as you do when you roll out of bed in the morning!" she countered, again sounding uncharacteristically bashful.<br><br>Turning around from the mirror which she'd been standing in front of again, she came face to face with Shayella, who was standing there in that familiar pose with both hands on her hips like a mother giving her child a stern talking to. Shayella's presence actually did feel a bit motherly at times, in the best possible way, which was still quite ironic considering she was the younger of the two.<br><br>"What!?" Theraeve asked with exaggerated shock. "I was going to say yes...really!" Furrowing her brow while making her best puppy-dog eyes, she raised her hands palm-up in exasperation before finally sighing and going to open the door so they could head down to the kitchen. "And you better be ready to heal me again if I trip and break my ankles going down the stairs," she warned, sounding a bit more like her usual self as she tugged lightly on the train of her dress.<br>
