*Moiraine comes downstairs and goes to the bar for tea. A cup appears, along with
a bouquet of flowers attached to one note, and
a rose attached to another.
The Aes Sedai considers the rose warily, but opens and reads both notes. Moiraine takes everything over to her table and settles there, looking very thoughtful.*
"Moiraine Sedai."

Rand al'Thor. Good evening.

"You need not rise on my account. Please, sit down."
He pulls out a chair and waits for Moiraine to sit, then follows.

It has been some time. What news of the world?

"Things are currently at a standstill. The Forsaken have withdrawn, for reasons unknown. The battle at the White Tower has been called to a truce for the Feast of Lights...but we don't know how long it will last."
He relaxes a little, looking to the side non-chalantly. "Elayne complains of carrying the little ones more on a daily basis."
His face is a carefully composed mask of not!laughingorwincing.

*Moiraine tilts her head at this last, studying Rand.*
The little ones, is it?

Such a thing is not unheard of, I promise you. She is well-cared for, it would seem.
*Dark eyes note the softening of Rand's countenance, but she does not comment on it.*

"I needed a bit of an escape. And I needed to talk with you about Lewis Therin."

Very well, Rand. I am here.

He frowns a little.
"He's not comfortable with this place, for obvious reasons, but he should be able to be brought out."
Reply
Would he feel more comfortable, perhaps, in a place other than this crowded room? There are a few other options.
Reply
"It is more that he is not comfortable with Milliways in general. Morpheous has him a bit...jumpy around here. But I am not holding Saidin, so it is safe."

I see. Well. Is he able to sense Dream's presence, do you know?
Reply
"No, no more than I can."

And can he hear me as I speak now? Does he know what you know, see what you see?
