"Maybe if we were the only two expected to be talking to each other?" "All right," Rue said, too distracted to even sound angry about it. "Though I should warn you, I haven't danced since before I got to the clinic..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Though I should warn you, I haven't danced since before I got to the clinic..." He shrugged. "It'll be fine. It's better than having to come up with answers for people's questions while you're completely silent." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This is nice." Rue stiffened, and moved hesitantly at first. I am Rue Sedai of the red ajah, she thought, somewhat incredulously, and I am dancing with a man. A man with power... "It...is," she agreed, letting out a small breath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue she/her Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 1 minute ago, The Aspiring Archivist said: "I'm not leaving you!" More inquisitors were coming now, 6 including the one holding Rue. "If you die here," Rue said, "I'll never forgive you." Or myself... "You need to tell the clinic what's happening here before they spread." The inquisitor stuck his hand over her mouth, and she bit at him, but he wouldn't let go. She concentrated, and a gateway appeared behind TAAron, to the shock of the guests. Then, with a wave of air, she shoved him through it, letting it snap shut behind him. *** In the mess hall at the clinic, Tal glanced at his watch. "Oop! I'm on break now. See you guys later."
