Her restlessness has been growing.

("In a sense, it feels as though almost all my life ahead of this day has become uncertain."

"Moiraine, you dwell in this place... a woman out of your own world and out of your time."

"My devotion to the mysteries of this world transcends any single law enforcement agency... it's my responsibility to go where I can do some good."

"I hope you find your answers, whatever they may be.")

Moiraine has her suspicions, if at present barely more than that, as to what the source of her growing unease may be, but as yet she cannot confirm them.

(And if she is to undertake what comes after if she is correct in this, then she must, she must be absolutely certain, without doubt or question.)

Thus it happens that the Aes Sedai may be found on this particular afternoon within the walls of Milliways, a gently-steaming pot of tea near at hand, and her attention focused on studying one of the books that Tom Riddle had so graciously retrieved for her some time ago.

There are not many here these days who would recognize the Karaethon Cycle for what it is, and perhaps fewer still who might grasp the significance of her interest in it now. Still, she makes no attempt to conceal what it is that she is reading.

Unusual, that.

"Sweden, I am more familiar with," the Aes Sedai replies.

"Although it is not a place that I have ever been."

"The world is large, even lager than my time thought, and rarely does one go and see all of it," Teja says.

"I would not disagree."

"Which parts of the earth have you seen, apart from the one that which you come from?" Teja enquires.

"Certain regions within the United States," she tells him. "As well as others in China, and in England, and Italy."

Each of which had been a separate Mirror of the Wheel, she believes, but since they all represent portions of Earth, she is able to name them without being restricted by her Oaths.

"I may go to Italy, in the future; it is a pleasant land still," Teja says.

"I found Rome quite pleasant, at the time," the Aes Sedai replies.

"The place where I may go is near where I was born, half-way between FLorence and Lucca," Teja says.

"Your home, as it were?"

"It was," Teja says. "But then we driven out from it."

Moiraine nods.

"Have you seen it since?"

"Demeter took me, and then she gave me a key," Teja says.

"That sounds kind of her."

"That, she is," Teja says. "Kind. Fierce, but kind also."

"I have found her to be kind as well," Moiraine replies.

"Although I would not say I know her well."

"I know her well, but I saw less of her in recent months," Teja says.

"For any reason in particular?"

"I fell afoul of one of her relatives -- or rather, he of me," Teja says. "The dislike was instant and mutual, and it took a while to make up with her again. She loves her family."

"I see," she murmurs, thinking of House Damodred. "Family matters can be complicated in many ways."

"Truly complicated," Teja agrees. "And woe betide any that comes between families, warring or loving."
