Dear, Child.

Am I to understand you wish to play by putting me someplace where everyone simply grows wings? And just what makes you think I'll be agreeable to this plot of yours? You're trying to sail a ship without any oars or rudder, and hoping the wind will just take you there. [A pause.] No, the expression is not "putting the cart in front of the horse," what kind of a fool saying is that?

You may have read the books in question over a dozen times, but you've got gills for ears if you think that's good enough. Yes, I know you, you're already planning to make a file of quotes. Good, you'll need it.

And I don't understand why you want so much to find ta'veren. Rest assured child, you don't find ta'veren, they find you, often whether you like it or not.

If you are so worried about "voice," perhaps you should take your own refresher course in the Old Tongue. I'm sure you'd prefer it to one of my tongue lashings. Now run along, I have things to do.

That would work better if the two easiest of them weren't literally made of fire.

At best I could distract her with pranks. She has a weakness for them more than anything else.

[foxoffortune]

[Made of fire? Just what kind of 'people' are up there? He fiddles with his hat as he thinks that over.]

I would assume the one with the buckets and the water wouldn't go well.

[ageless_words]

[That gets a secretive smile out of her.] Child's play.

There's a fountain where I'm going, and it's going to be spring. I already know what I'm going to do to it.

[foxoffortune]

And if I don't know, I can't tell. [He'll have to bug his mun to see if she could find out about it after though.]

[ageless_words]

I'm thinking a few tadpoles go a long way, especially the more they warm up.

[foxoffortune]

You sure a fountain will be the right place for them?

[ageless_words]

Yes. Then they can cover the center of the town with their spring peeping.

[foxoffortune]

Without ending up in the washing.

[ageless_words]

Exactly. No need to make more work for myself.

Oh... pike-eyes! She's going to make me do my own laundry again isn't she? Light-blasted mun. I hate laundry.

[foxoffortune]

That's probably something you shouldn't have said out loud. The bit about the laundry.

[Not that the mun wouldn't have already known.]

[ageless_words]

[Waves a hand back and forth.]

I'd rather deal with laundry than that flirting thing you mentioned.

[Trolololol only because she doesn't realize they're one & the same for her yet.]

[foxoffortune]

[Her life gets interesting, no matter where she goes.]

That just encourages them to try for what you don't want.

[But picking your battles is a sensible route to take.]

[ageless_words]

I can stop her. I'll find a way.

What about you, Ta'veren child? Will you simply go back to these memes with all their gossiping eyes?

[foxoffortune]

If you ever figure out that puzzle, do share.

There's a thread I need to finish up on the memes - one thing I can agree on with my mun is that a tavern is a good place to finish up a day. But she has plans to revisit the books near the start of the series. It should keep her busy for a while.

[ageless_words]

[She likes puzzles, so this will be fun.] I will try.

Taverns for the ta'veren, hm? [She's not sure why that's so amusing, but word play is another fun puzzle.] I wish your mun luck then. My own mun Child has enough Brown Ajah tendencies that extreme amounts of reading fit right at home for her, but I understand it is quite an undertaking.

Hopefully we'll still see you again. Or at least my mun hopes so. [Siuan's intrigued by Mat, but SO not going to admit to it after all!]

[foxoffortune]

I can't think of many other places I would like to be.

[Drinking and dicing are great hobbies, and it's fun to reel people in when they have no idea what they're in for.]

She has to find them first, the trouble of living away from home and not owning her own copies of the bloody things. [There are several events he doesn't want to revisit.]

I'm certain that we'll have no trouble running into each other. Here, or otherwise. She's persistent in keeping track of people when she wants to.

[ageless_words]

You certainly seem like the troublesome sort to deal with. [All this without even knowing how deep that trouble runs.]

Ah. My own mun set aside a collection of them for a rainy day. As I said, she's much like a brown sister.

[Small secretive grin at that.] Then I shall have my mun keep her eyes open as well, and check out the non-flirting ship "memes" on Bakerstreet.
