As the air parts, she simply appears near her preferred table. Moiraine is carrying an anthology of poetry again this evening, and has a small notebook as well.
The Aes Sedai settles at her table and opens her books, with an idle glance around the bar.
[Summary: Elaine brings tea at Dream's request and is convinced to take a short break, in which she and Moiraine discuss Elaine's family and background, with great canon similarity identified, and then move into feminism and finally discussion of their worlds. Morpheus appears, and Moiraine thanks him for his consideration, and then they are simply cute together for a while. Later, she and Roland discuss Cort's arrival and whether or not Roland should tell him things about the future; at some point later, Peter Pevensie asks her to Heal Caspian (although the healing is rejected in Caspian's thread). Afterwards, she returns to her table and is joined by Bran, who discusses poetry with her-- and is stunned by a plotty revelation. Meg drops by and tells Moiraine that she'll be joining the ranks-of-pseudo-immortal-mortals after her own death, and this is still under discussion, as the thread is slowtimed. Finally, Nita Callahan introduces herself and asks for help with a problem that concerns Asmodean, which immediately gets Moiraine's full attention... (Say it with me, folks: slowtimed.)]

"How are matters with you, Elaine?"
She pours a cup of tea from the pot and offers it to the other woman.

"That is a a not-insignificant period of time, I think."

"You have died, then?" Her tone is calm and matter-of-fact.

Elaine tells the story fairly matter-of-factly. She's told it many times, and she tries not to hide the truth, even from herself.
no subject
The Aes Sedai's tone is calm, but dark eyes are weighing Elaine thoughtfully, and her glance lingers on the young woman's hair for a notable moment.
"Did you have no family that you were close to?"

"It sounds from your description as though your family was well-connected, however; are you nobility, Elaine?"
no subject
She sipped her tea. Elaine was well-aware that her family and her life had not been at all the norm amongst her peers.
no subject
"Did your House have a sign? I do not know if you would call it such; a symbol, perhaps, which might be carried on a banner?"
no subject
Elaine is enjoying the conversation, and even though her life was painful, she enjoys recalling the small details about her life at home.

"And now you serve here." It does not seem judgmental.

Moiraine sips her tea, and there is a flicker of calm amusement in the dark eyes.
"There are similarities between the worlds sometimes, I have found; you remind me, to a degree, of someone else I have known."

There is something still amused about her glance.
"She was, and still is, pleasant in her way." A pause. "She is also Aes Sedai, as I am."

Calmly said, in a near-academic tone.
