*The air swirls, and Moiraine appears in the room. The Aes Sedai glances about-- although she is composed, as usual, she seems subtly tense.*

*After a moment, she collects a cup of tea from the bar, and takes it to her usual table.*

He gives her a polite node. "Good evening."

[blue_ajah]

*She nods back, with a serene smile.*

Good evening, Doctor. How are matters with you?

[doc-lecter.livejournal.com]

"I am very well, thank you for asking. And yourself, madame?"

[blue_ajah]

I am well, at present.

*She studies him for a moment.*

Are you still a resident in Delirum's realm these days?

[doc-lecter.livejournal.com]

He nods, a small smile of amusement on his lips. "I am.

"How is Dream, these days?"

[blue_ajah]

*Moiraine smiles, and the Aes Sedai looks quietly pleased.*

My lord is also well; I shall convey to him that you inquired after him.

[doc-lecter.livejournal.com]

"Not that one would expect him to be otherwise, of course ..."

[blue_ajah]

He is Dream.

*It is a statement of fact, but Moiraine is studying him a bit more carefully now.*

[doc-lecter.livejournal.com]

He opens his hand in a small throwaway gesture. "It wasn't in question. By his very nature, not much can adversely affect him."

At the bar, Roland finishes his chicken and turns for a moment, wiping his fingers on a napkin.

He catches sight of Moiraine, and he nods to her.

[blue_ajah]

*She smiles in greeting, and tilts her head inquiringly at an empty seat, inviting him to join her.*

[lastgunslinger]

He inclines his head slightly, and brings his coffee and book over to her table and sits. "Long days and pleasant nights, lady-sai. You're well, I hope?"

[blue_ajah]

May you have twice the number, Roland. I am well, at present.

*Moiraine looks at him calmly, although there is a hint of something subtly tense in her manner.*

How are matters with you?

[lastgunslinger]

"Well enough, say thankya."

A pause.

"I spoke with the Dream-lord last night."

[blue_ajah]

He mentioned it to me, yes.

*And now the tension is no longer so subtle. Dark eyes flash, but her voice is calm enough.*

It appears that you had an interesting conversation about recent events.

[lastgunslinger]

Roland studies her.

He's calm.

"What did he tell you, lady-sai? I'd know what you know of the situation already."

[blue_ajah]

Simply, that Anthy was responsible for closing a certain door.

*Moiraine turns her teacup around once, and then pushes it aside.*

Which, as you and I both know, had some interesting repercussions.

*Theres a Tim sitting next to her, without any play of magic. He's getting subtle.*

Hi.

*He looks upset as well.*

[blue_ajah]

Good evening, Tim.

*The Aes Sedai studies him, taking in his demeanor.*

Or, perhaps not. *Her calm tone is slightly dry.* How are matters with you, then?

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tims face is tight, quite distasteful.*

Do you happen to know a....

*He somehow manages tos pit the word.*

Wizard named Zedd?

[blue_ajah]

*Moiraine inclines her head in assent, watching Tim carefully.*

I have spoken with him once or twice, as I recall.

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tim clenches his fists, keeping a tight reign on his emotions.*

He apparently decided that Security was not capable of dealign witht he object you entrusted to me, and connived another of our staff into fetching it out for him. He now has it in his room, apparently trying to shield it his own fool self.

[blue_ajah]

*Dark eyes flash with sudden anger, but her voice is even.*

Is that so? It would appear that perhaps he is either very convinced of the strength of his own abilities, or that he is a very great fool.

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tim snarls and summons a cup of tea.*

The one usually includes the other.

[blue_ajah]

*She studies him carefully.*

How was he aware of it in the first place, do you know?
