Osendrelle Square: Tar Valon, Tar Valon

Buildings made of white stone are etched in the shapes of fanciful shells or waves that are meant to dazzle the eye. Everything within the square and on the streets beyond seems to have been made for sheer beauty, as if to show off some great skill. Small statues, crevices and friezes help to decorate the Inns and shops that line the streets. There is a large statue in the center of the square, in the shape of the White Tower, with the Flame of Tar Valon emblazoned on a small flag, honoring the Aes Sedai and their work.

Birds fly by overhead, singing in cheerful tones, allowing people to know that spring has arrived and it's time to start anew. Dusk sets in and the street lamps are being lighted by those who's task it is to see the city brightened at night. People still bustle back and forth between shops and inns to gather a last minute package or to seek some entertainment. Every now and again Tar Valon Guards pass by with a patrol, to keep the streets safe.

Several different directions spout off from the square. The main exit leads toward the White Tower itself, making the square a center of traffic and other events. Three more exits lead down private roads, towards the southern most villages outside of the city.

Tsuiko enters the Osendrelle Square through the Osendrelle Gates of the White Tower, watched by the hawkeyes of the Tower Guard.

Meeko is slowly walking past the Tower, she pauses near the gates at though she wants to enter but then begins to move on. The Acting High Ambassador is full of sadness from her ordeal and lack of sleep.

The guard Keats can be seen by a trained eye following Meeko at a discrete distance.

Tsuiko looks over at Meeko and offers a small smile. "Are you well, little Ambassador?" She asks tenderly of the younger woman . Meeko stops at the sound of her name and musters a smile "Yes I am fine, just a bit tired from the nightmares I have been having." she looks at Tsuiko "How are you doing?" she speaks softly as she walks over to the Sedai.

Tsuiko purses her lips and begins to tap them.. "Tell me about these dreams, m'dear?" She asks, frwoning. "I am well.." A warm smile

Meeko manages to not tear up in the rememberance "Oh they are just dreams of a man I once loved who has recently threatened to kill me and my guard." she sighs "a man gone mad."

Tsuiko frowns sharply and reaches out to touch the young woman's cheek. "This is strange.." She purses her lips.. "Do you have anything of his that you wear to bed..or anything he's given you?"

Meeko does not pull away from the comforting touch "why yes I have his mark, a tatoo that we both wear that showed our love for each other." the sighs "but since his family was killed and he began using this strange drug he has turned like a stranger to me." she pauses "His trial is in a few days and that all is pressing hard on my mind as he has made so many accusations about me that I just do not understand."

Tsuiko frowns sharply at that.. "May I see this mark?" She says, snorting at the tattoo remark a little.. she IS Sea Folk afterall.

Meeko nods and pulls her dress top down just enough to show a small tattoo on her left side just above her bosum. The tatoo is of a flame with a falcon over it. "He use to call me his flame and I would call him my falcon. He wears one in the same place." she looks to the woman "I just do not know why he is out to destroy me Sedai I did nothing but be there for him." Meeko manages to hold back the tears but her dark eyes glisten with the moisture that is building.

Tsuiko reaches up and touches Meeko's cheek again tenderly and looks at the Tatoo.. "May I channel on you dear? To see if there is anything.. interesting about this?"

Meeko looks a bit puzzled "what would that tell you Sedai? What could you possibly learn from this?" she may be a wilder but she has no Tower training nor does she fully understand the gift she has.

Tsuiko looks up and smiles.. "It might tell me if there is a little something wrong with your dreams.. you know?" She says, giggling a bit.. "May I please?"

Meeko nods "I suppose but I truely think the dreams are from the ordeal I have been through." Tsuiko nods and channels into you slowly.. seeing that the tattoo is normal in all forms.. before she purses her lips.. "Well.. I think I know why your dreams might be so vivid.."

Meeko again looks quite puzzled "what are you finding Sedai?" Meeko shivers slightly at the thought that something is wrong with the mark she is wearing.

Tsuiko laughs gently.. "Oh, that I think, if I can squeeze it by, you'll be spending some time with us at the Tower...since you can channel"

Tsuiko blinks a few times.. "Off with your clothing.. I want to see every item on you.. every single one.." Her voice turns quickly authoratative.

Meeko looks shocked "why do you want me to do that here on the street? What is the problem?" she steps back from the crazy Sedai "Are you sure your alright?"

Tsuiko shakes her head back and forth.. "Come on.. hurry into the Tower.. this is /important.."

Meeko shakes he head "first you tell me what is the problem then I will join you in the Tower."

Meekos suddenly realizes something "Did you try and channel at me?" she reaches into a pocket of her cape and pulls out a medallion, the medallion is still warm "oops I think this may be the thing your looking for." Meeko is careful to hold the chain round her wrist as she opens her palm to the Sedai for she is not about to relinquish this item to anyone but the Amryln herself.

Tsuiko frowns and closes her hand around the amulet..

You see a fairly large Medallion on a thick silvery chain. A large flat disk, the center, raised and in the shape of a Cresent a fiery Sun-burst behind, rays of bright light emanating from behind. The very center of the Medal is pure gold but fades to silver near the edge and then appears to turn to a narrow ring of iron and then the entire outer edge is that of lead. The thing looks ancient and obviously should only be in the custody of an Aes Sedai or some other that studies the one power for it is clear that it was not crafted by common folk.

Tsuiko jerks backwards from you and nearly falls to her knees.. "You.. killed..children?" Meeko jumps from the sudden movement "no I did not kill children. I was forced to deliver them early under pain of watching the mother being tortured. I was then let go and watch by a very large evil man who threatened to kill me. Once I found the opportunity I fully assisted Morcath in the case and brought a known creature of the Dark to trial."

Tsuiko nods and shakes her head back and forth... "That... Medallion should be given to Mother.. it's far too important for you to have it.."

Meeko nods "I fully agree and I have sent word to her about it. I am awaiting an appointment to return the item to her, but in the meantime I keep it with me as I will not give it to anyone." she looks back at you "here I will have my guard hold the item and then you can check that tatoo once again." Meeko calls Keats over and hands him the medallion, he steps back so it will not interfere with the weaves. "ok I'm ready."

Tsuiko nods and proceeds to channel into you once again and has the same results as my first pose a while back (notation: we forgot about the medallion and didnšt bother a respose but went on as if the medallion was working)

It is Meekos turn to step back from the Sedai "I do not have time to spend at the Tower and yes I can channel I am a wilder blocked by animals and most know it. I came to the city much to old to be trained so I do what I can with my limitations to help people in the city." she smiles "I know it is a surprise to many and many Sedai have looked me over. I seem to have the talent of speaking with the animals and healing."

Tsuiko chuckles.. "Well good... then you really need to break that block dear... "

Meeko shrugs "From what I understand the Sedai perfer that they not have a channeling wilder loose without the Towers controls. I would love to oneday but alas I have learned to live with it at my age and am doing fine."

Tsuiko laughs.. "You act as if you are an old woman."

Meeko nods "well after all I am 32 summers and yes that is old at least some days I feel very old like presently." she smiles to the Sedai "I had always dreamed that I would learn to control this gift but I am grateful that I can at least heal people, it seems the more I do it the more it happeneds properly."

Tsuiko reaches out to touch the tattoo... "I can remove this, if you really wish it?"

Meeko looks very surprised "I, I tried to remove it with my dagger but was stopped. I think I might allow you to do this if you wouldn't mind explaining how it would happen."

Tsuiko smiles.. "It's easy.. you just use the water in your both to lift out the ink.."

Meeko peers "my you Sedai are quite talented. I do think I shall allow this as the memory is much to painful." she looks to the woman "you are very kind."

Tsuiko nods and reaches out to hug you gently.. "Thank you.." A blush there.. "Come along, lets do this somewhere more private?"

Meeko hugs the Sedai and nods "Yes lets see where would you suggest?'

Tsuiko hmms.. "My room? Yours?"

Meeko cocks an eyebrow. "ah lets see your room is in the Tower? I suppose that would be fine."

*Scene jumps to: Tsuiko's Room: White Tower, Tar Valon

Tsuiko nods and closes the door as we enter. The room has two large large display cases.. one with dolls and one with antiques. "come in and sit." The place is a mass of pillows

Meeko enters the rooms and stops at the dolls "My they a absoulutely beautiful." she then wonders over to the antiques "These are fascinating Sedai." turning she looks to you "I, my I don't even know your name." Meeko then takes a seat as she is directed.

Tsuiko looks over and smiles.. blushing both times.. "Thank you.. Tsuiko...Ko is my name.. yours is Meeko right?"

Meeko smiles "yes you can call me Meeko or simply Meek. I am very pleased to meet you Ko. You are quite a collecter I see they are so beautiful and I bet each has a history behind it."

Tsuiko blushes a bit and nods.. "Thank you dear... and yes they do.. all of them." She hmms.. "The dress needs to come down or off.."

Seems it's Meekos turn to blush as she drops the top of her dress to fully expose the tatoo. She touches it and as she does tears fill her eyes "I never dreamed it would come to this." she seems to be speaking half to herself.

Tsuiko leans over and kisses the tears away as she embraces and takes your hand... "Squeeze hard.." She offers as she begins to channel out.

Meeko enjoys the soft touch, the kindness that has been a bit elusive of her in the last few days. She squeezes the Sedais hand "is this going to hurt?"

Tsuiko nods and hugs the girl tightly.. "Just a bit.." She pulls it out slowly to minimize the pain..

Meeko nods and enters the void, a little trick she was taught by Kirill "ok I can handle it for a short time." she then puts all her effort into holding the void for as long as she can.

Tsuiko pulls out the ink quickly... drawing it away from the girl.. 'There..." Meeko opens her eyes and looks, she is still holding the void "it is done already?" she looks down at her now bare chest "Oh thank you, thank you so much." Meeko can no longer maintian that state and cringes "I suppose it will be a bit sore for awhile?"

Tsuiko laughs.. "So no horseplay for a while..." A teasing wink

Meeko sighs and pouts "but I must keep my guard on his toes and have him chase me through the city." she then giggles and reaches out to hug the Sedai "Again thank you so much. As I said earlier I nearly cut the thing out but a friend stopped me." she realizes how long she has been here "I fear I must be going though I do hope our paths cross again. I can usually be found at the council chambers or at my shop." she rises and moves to the door.

Tsuiko nods.. "Do take care..."
