Quinn makes his way down the stairs, rubbing at his face with the heel of one hand. He didn't sleep too well last night, not that that's anything new for him, but when he tried the door somewhere after midnight just to see, he found that the damn thing wouldn't open. So he went back upstairs to see if a lot of bad sleep could take the place of an

She herself blends into the crowd surprisingly well this evening, given the very dark shade of blue that she has chosen to wear. Moiraine glides across the room toward a distant table, then spies him and changes direction.

"Quinn."

Quinn glances up from his coffee. It takes him a moment to pull himself back from whatever reverie had his attention. "Moiraine," he says, and even comes up with something of a smile. "It's been a while, hasn't it? How've you been?"

[blue_ajah]

"As well as may be expected," she replies, serenely. "Since, as you said, it has been a while, and much has come to pass."

A pause, and the Aes Sedai tilts her head, studying him.

Quinn has to give that some thought. "I would say the same thing, I think, if it weren't completely unfair to expect you to know what's to be expected. We've had... it's been busy."

"You're welcome. - I'm Michael, by the way. Michael Donighal. I don't seem to recall having introduced myself when we spoke before, and even if I had, it's been yonks since we spoke. Well, a yonk at least." Enhanced senses detect something they detected before, only now the brain they feed has a basis for comparison. "I didn't ask your name, again that I can recall, but I know you for a pre-Gen at least."

Quinn blinks a few times. "You've met Suzi," he says. "You can't be from her world, you'd have tentacles if you were and could notice that about me. How do you-"

He makes a vaguely wiggly gesture, the closest he can come to 'nice trick, zlinning without tentacles'.
