[You are just the sweetest thing, aren't you? She slips into that maternal tone again, almost without thought.]
He will be, little one, given time. It is difficult for him, as it is for us all, but he is strong and brave of heart. As one who cares for him, I only seek to make his time here more pleasant and ease his longing for home. [Best mother-in-law ever, right?]
The visions often come to me when I sleep, as such I do not have much control of them. I have only forced a vision once while awake during dire circumstances, though it caused me a great deal of pain to do so.
[That...sounds rather awful. She wonders briefly if she might be able to help with that, but she's hesitant to even bring it up until she knows more.]
They come unbidden more oft then not, then. [That rules out a number of questions she would have asked.] Have these visions been altered in your time here, in frequency or potency?
I spoke to him when he arrived. [Will replies with some happiness in his voice.] It is good that you have family here again, isn't it?
My master had some ability to foresee the future, but I have not yet developed much ability in that way. As for seeing the past, that I think has been limited as well.
I would not wish this upon him for my sake, but I will not deny that it is a relief and a comfort to see him again. [And she does sound happy, albeit with a twinge of nervousness. That this place now has two of the Three does not sit well with her.]
Am I correct in assuming this is not what was taken from you upon your arrival?
I would not wish to see any of my own family here, I think. Even to see them again. But I am glad to see others reunited.
It was not, but I think it may be part of it. What I lost was my ability to hear the Light. What I listened to so that I would know when to act and what to say at times of importance. Without it I still have the ability to look into the past, but I do not know where to look. I have not received a vision of the past since the day I arrived here. Not like before, when they often came to me unsummoned.
I will confess I am also glad to have once again his counsel and use of his mind. There are few I would rather have at work on the riddle of this place.
Little comes to me unbidden and that which I seek is oft shrouded in mist and shadow. I see here but a part of what my vision should reveal.

[That filter took her a second. Too many "Mistress Windrunners" running around.]
It gives me no pleasure to see him bound to the whims of this place. Yet it is a comfort to see him again and there are few whose aid I would prefer in dark times. [So, yes and no?]

["Ranger-Captain Windrunner" works just as well!]
I understand completely. I feel much the same, having my sisters here. And though I am glad that my commander is no longer in this place, I cannot deny that I would still readily accept him by my side.

[Does she even know that title?]
I am relieved, at least, that the castle has chosen to bring a more hardened and experienced kinsman. I shall worry less for him than I did for my granddaughter.

Are you pleased, having your kin here?
