[Some several days after arriving in Luceti, Knives finally appears in town in midafternoon. This is with remarkably little fanfare; what's one more new feather this week? Those who are familiar with Vash might well recognize him, as they are identical twins; his hair's shorter and black, he's a bit paler, but the rest is still there. The same features, nearly the same bearing..

But Vash probably doesn't pick his way through Luceti with thinly veiled distaste, as if he's spending most of the time wading knee-deep in something nasty. And he is shopping. Oh yes. So much shopping.

Probably because of the black and white border collie cheerfully tagging along wherever he goes. Which means Knives can be found at various times of the day at the grocery store, library, and in the forest near Luceti when he can't tolerate the town any longer.]

[Action at the Library]

[The balls of light quiver as he touches them, but they're quite cool as his hand passes through them. Nothing about them is really solid, after all.]

I am.

[Coolly, she eyes knives, face expressionless.]

Have you never seen such before?

[Liebrary indeed]

[Moiraine closes her book, marking the page carefully and gives him her full attention. Her lip curls into a dry little smile as she shakes her head]

I could make them kill you, if you'd like. I thought that it'd be safer for passersby if I just made lamps.

[And in response to the question, she shifts her hand subtly, revealing her ring. A serpent eating it's own tail. Anyone familiar with her world would know the meaning but she imagined he wouldn't. It was simply a reflexive gesture at this point. Her ageless face remains smooth save that thin smile]

I am Aes Sedai. Though I suspect that means little to you. You might refer to me as a magician.

[Just a bit!]

[Well, what else would she be Knives? She's hardly an Ogier, and she's hardly some sort of shadowspawn. So the question is meaningless. But then, whoever heard of a fantasy world without elves? This one. The orbs to retreat in, winking out and dimming the little room a bit. She's not quite gotten comfortable with electrical lighting.]

The lamps? Yes, it's the first thing any novice learns how to do.

Who are you?

[GooD]

[Moiraine smiles quietly. As if anyone could use the Power without some sort of training...]

Yes, of course. It takes study.

[Knives...so not Vash. That's good at least.]

I am called Moiraine, Knives. Am I correct in guessing you are...new?

[Like the Power Glove.]

agelesseyes: (What troubles you?)
From: [personal profile] agelesseyes
No. It requires a certain spark that not many have. And no man.

[Not for Saidar anyway.]

A newcomer and already seeking knowledge of...dogs? Did you arrive with a pet, Knives?

[The expression there is pretty quizzical.]

[Or are they?]

agelesseyes: (We will speak later)
From: [personal profile] agelesseyes
Dogs are uncommon in your world? Truly?

[Yes, that's the thing that stuck with her. Moiraine is very much a cat person. Cats like Aes Sedai while dogs seem drawn to men who can channel.

And she doesn't want to talk about male channelers...]

They are. So you took one in immediately?

[The rest of it is absorbed quietly. What can one say to that? Moiraine mentally files all this away for later though.]

I am so fail with tagging speed lately T.T

agelesseyes: (Thank you my old friend)

[Moiraine smiles at that and shakes her head]

That's not entirely correct, Knives. I do have a pet. My horse arrived with me, though I've grown to think of Aldieb more as a partner than a pet. But I do not keep...cats or dogs, no.

Livestock? No, a horse is hardly livestock. A good horse...well, they'll weather the roughest storms as Siuan might say.

[She clicks her tongue irritably.]

And a horse is kept in a stable, of course.

[With a sniff, Moiraine goes back to her reading, the lights flickering back into existence.

What a rude man...]
