Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, Lost during the War
|
(OOC: :lol: Not quite disappeared.
 Yay for the 100th post!)Adena didn't answer right away, so Farina was sure that no one else had tried her approach yet. Otherwise Adena would have had an answer ready to shoot. Farina didn't think that she had changed the girl's mind yet, she wasn't that optimistic, but at least she had given her something to think about. Farina would not let a novice leave the Tower if she could help it. Of course, to become Aes Sedai, to become Accepted, you had to want to become Aes Sedai with all your heart. Otherwise you wouldn't survive the Arches. But since the girl had a block, she still had time. She could still change her mind and get raised. Farina was sure that a reluctant novice would not be called to the raising, but if Adena changed her mind before the block was broken and she was trained enough so she was free to leave, she could still become an Aes Sedai. But clearly Farina had not made such an impact on the novice. Her answer was... rather insulting really. Not that the novice would know it of course, but Farina was honest and true, and she would try to remain so as far as possible even as an Aes Sedai. But she was not weak! Farina was sure that her cheeks blushed a bit in anger, but she kept her face smooth. She doesn't know. Farina wasn't through with her yet, so instead of lashing out in anger, she replied calmly. "Being honest is not the same as being weak. And being honest does not mean yielding to others, no questions asked. To me, being honest and not manipulative means knowing exactly what you want, and trying to achieve that without using or harming others in the process. It does not mean being a pawn for other Aes Sedai. It means knowing the Game of Houses, seeing the strings others try to tie on you and avoiding them, but refusing to use others. Knowing the rules isn't the same as playing the game. But I'm definitely not saying that you shouldn't know the rules." Farina hoped that Adena understood what she was trying to say. That was how she would try to live her life as an Aes Sedai. She would be honest, but she would not be manipulated! She was not weak. |
