Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, Lost during the War
|
It seemed that Farina's question hadn't been useless after all. Adena's answer revealed a lot more about her than the mere words suggested. Not too honest, then. Adena was saying that she wanted to leave the Tower as soon as possible, that she never wanted to be Aes Sedai, but she hid it behind innocent words. But she must have realized that Farina would figure it out. She wasn't new to the Tower after all, and Farina was so close to being Aes Sedai that even though she appreciated honesty and saying what you meant, she had learned how to fish out hidden meanings. You had to when you tried to understand Aes Sedai. But Farina would be the first to admit that she wasn't even very good at it. Farina lifted an eyebrow, but didn't say anything yet. She wasn't sure what to think of the novice. Farina wanted to be Aes Sedai so badly that she could not understand what kind of arguments a woman could make to justify her want to leave the Tower, not becoming Aes Sedai. Especially so since even the chance of becoming an Aes Sedai was given to so few. She understood if a novice hated the Tower in the beginning with the strict discipline and homesickness and everything, but after nine years? A block would make things more difficult, but amendments had to be made if you wanted to achieve the strength and the power and the influence that came with the shawl and the ring. Farina had made two large sacrifices to attain that position, and this woman was willing to throw the chance away as soon as possible? Unimaginable. Farina noticed how her expression had slipped from the smile back to serenity. She didn't force herself to look less hard, though. Something very like disdain rose up when she looked at the novice. She tried to fight it. She wasn't ready to start hating the novice. "For a woman who doesn't want to be Aes Sedai, you talk very much like one," she said a tad too coolly. She bit her lip for that and tried to look a bit more approachable. "Please, tell me, why do you want to give up? Why don't you want to become one of the most notable and powerful women in the world? I want to understand. Well, I want to try to understand." |
