She was aware from the moment the wards recognized him, and as a result there is no surprise in the look that Moiraine directs at him.
"I would not call it so, no."

Raven snorts.
"That is, I think, because you are very good at quibbling."
Hah.
Take that, Aes Sedai.
He is only a little smug.

"I may speak no word that is not true," she reminds him.
Again.
"How are matters with you, Raven?"

Raven just wrinkles his nose, flicking a cookie at her head.
There is a lot of icing on it.
"Hedging is not so bad a word, yes?"
He blinks.
"Also avoiding? Dictionaries are very useful."

Moiraine ducks, and the cookie goes sailing by. It hits the wall behind her and shatters into a pile of crumbs, sticky with icing.
"So they might well be, for those who have need of them."
This is said with perfect serenity. It appears that the Aes Sedai has developed a few skills suitable for coping with such a creature as Raven.

Raven does not laugh.
Really.
"You are more for memorizing, perhaps?"

"When need be."
A pause, and a very faint sigh.
"I note that you did not answer my question."

Raven grins cheerfully, and eats a cookie.
"We are much alike, you and I. So."

"In several ways, perhaps," she admits, after a moment.
"Although I suspect there are those who might be surprised by such a thing."

For a fleeting moment there is more affection than cheer in Raven's smile.
Then he sits back, looking smug again.
"That, I think, is often because people are stupid."
Beat.
"Also you are not so bad at faking, yes?"
Raven himself is entirely genuine. Always.
Really.

She is silent for several seconds, considering him.
"I am the person that I am, Raven."
Very quietly said, and Moiraine is very, very still.

He watches her, head tilted, black eyes wide and bright.
"That is not so much a surprise, Moiraine."
His smile is crooked.
"I am not so stupid."

"No."
He makes a face at her.
"You are also not that stupid."

"I should hope not," the Aes Sedai returns.
"Else I would not have survived this long."
There is a flicker of darkness in the dark eyes, although she makes no mention of it.

Raven snorts.
Then, because he can, and because they are both there, he bumps her shoulder with his.
It is only a little awkward, because she is tiny.
"It will be longer yet, I think."
