Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, Lost during the War

The girl's dark hair swayed as she turned to look at Farina. Farina paid quite a lot of attention to other people's gestures, so she noticed the little sigh the girl gave, even though the novice probably thought that she wouldn't. But it was understandable; novices always had to worry about being given a chore if they were interrupted by someone of higher rank. Or maybe Farina's interruption had been particularly untimely. That dampened Farina's spirit a bit, the girl probably didn't want to embrace an opportunity to chat with an Accepted if she was disappointed about being interrupted. Farina as a novice had jumped at any chance to take a break from her studies as long as it didn't include extra work. But she understood that some novices didn't feel the same. A simple word from the novice that she indeed had a timeline with the book would be enough for Farina to leave her alone. But instead, the girl shook her head. "No, to be honest I only came to read so that I could avoid chores." Farina's slight surprise turned her serenity into a grin. What a careless thing to say. Some Accepted would have jumped at the chance to bully a novice, and with a comment like that, this particular novice was practically asking for a chore. Either she didn't really care if she was handed a chore or not, or she was too new to realise the error of her statement. Or she was just too honest for her own good. Farina was aching to know which of these options applied to the girl. But even though she was honest and quite blunt sometimes, she wasn't blunt with total strangers, even if they were of lower rank. And her aim was to strike up a conversation, not an interrogation. "Good, then you won't be too disappointed if I only want to talk instead of sending you to wash dishes," she said with a playful smile. She hoped that the girl would actually want to talk too instead of just answering Farina's questions because she was obliged to. "I'm Farina." She hoped that the name wouldn't ring any bells with the girl. Her punishment for running away had been far from private, but it didn't mean that absolutely everyone knew about it. Most did, unfortunately. "How long have you been in the Tower?" |
