Muse is both annoyed and amused

[agelesseyes]

Your persistence is admirable. When I destroyed your icons with the Power, I had thought it to be the end of it. Clearly I underestimated you. To go so far as to remake them shows great fortitude. My commendations.

Alas, I must still protest your decision to...as you put it...send me somewhere. I have duties I must attend to. None of which includes visiting other worlds, with the Dark One stirring as he is. I must insist once more that you cease, and return me at once. Though, doubtless you will again ignore my request.

[She sighs heavily, resignation in her voice.]

At least find a place that I can rest properly, then. I've had enough horror for one journey.

Moiraine.

[Tips his hat.]

It has been a while, you're looking better than the last time I saw you.

[Since, you know, he hasn't actually gotten to the Tower of Ghenji yet.]

No question who that is...

[agelesseyes]

Good day, Matrim.

[Her canonpoint is the end of the Eye of the World, so...]

Not so long by my count. But you look better than last I saw you as well.

[foxoffortune]

[Paranoia is rarely a good look for anyone.]

I have to ask, when exactly are you referring to?

[The mun may know, but sharing isn't their strongest point. And his memory is somewhat patchy.]

I don't particularly care about saying something I shouldn't - it's happened often enough, but there are probably some things I should talk about yet.

[agelesseyes]

Of course.

[Now she knows he's grown. Mat Cauthon...showing wisdom enough to guard his words?]

Shortly after the battle at the Eye of the World. After we learned the truth about the Dragon Reborn's identity.

[No need to say who, for safeties sake.]

[foxoffortune]

[There's a flash of color when Rand is mentioned, Mat carefully doesn't pay attention to what they reveal. What Rand does in his spare time is his to know.]

That feels like a lifetime ago. There's been a lot of traveling since then.

[agelesseyes]

Perhaps for you, but this place seems to do strange things with time.

[She smiles faintly.]

It's good to see you though. A familiar face is a welcome one. [In her own way, she does like him.]

[foxoffortune]

It doesn't really seem to flow when you're not in a game. And even what happens there goes away once you leave it.

I can say the same, you're a sight for sore eyes.

[agelesseyes]

So I have come to understand. Though, there are some where the Wheel still turns. I've rejected those and my mun seems to have agreed. Breaking the Pattern for one's amusement is stepping too far.

I take it there are few of us from home here, then? I know my mun was stunned to see you.

[foxoffortune]

I'd hate to have to see something happen and not be able to do anything to affect it. [Which would still happen, even if he were home, but it's a different sort of inaction.]

We're scattered. And not always present. I've seen myself, a couple of times. Lan, Nynaeve and Egwene too. We don't talk for long.

[agelesseyes]

Precisely why I destroyed those icons in the first place. I should have removed the data as well, a mistake on my part I won't repeat.

[Apparently, Balefire does work on computer data.]

More than one of you? [She smiles once more.] And Lan thought managing one of you was difficult.

A small number, mores the pity. I shall not count on meeting familiar faces, if I am to be...sent somewhere.
