She had not seen any sisters near enough that could see her, at least she hoped not. An hour was too long. She wanted to be in Tear and soon. Time was changing and moving faster than she could hold up.
She embraced saidar, feeling its warmth envolope her being. She started weaves of air, and earth. She started to weave the boat a bit of the boat up from the sandbar. Just an inch would be fine. She wove the earth and pierced the sandbar with it. If they were standing on it, it would feel like an earthrumble. She could feel it moving, sliding down over itself. She saw the water move and let the boat back down the inch she brought it up.
She did everything under water, hopefully no one would be able to tell. She looked up to the sky. She wondered if this was done on purpose, or if the pattern was taking a different turn for her and Tristan
She looked at him with tired eyes and.......

Looking at the river and then back to Moraine, he caught her as she sagged and quickly lifted her. Rushing down the narrow hallway to their cabin, he layed her on the bed. The boatmen working the sweeps pulling the boat free with a jerk.
The boat was moving again and picking up steam at that, a quick glance back down the hall told him that a storm was coming and a fierce one by the look of it.
He hated the feeling that she had pressed to far, obviously she had channelled to get them off the sand bar. Now he sat there waiting for her to wake and with a night of rough weather ahead as well.

She stirred, it hadnt been long she could tell by the feelings coursing through the bond. She needed to start using the small an'grael she had in her staff. It would do no good to be like this all the time. She was but one servant to the Light.
She looked up at Tristan, "Im sorry, I should stop using so much power in earth and fire that I cannot hold myself up. I will start using my an'grael, when its needed. " She pointed to the crystal in her staff. He knew alot of Aes Sedai, she didnt know if he knew what she was talking about. She had left the staff behind to rush up to the deck.
The power had been used to stop them, but it was not saidar. Which meant it was Saidan. She shuddered at the thought. What could they want to stop us for?
Maybe tricks playing, or a man gone mad.
"I'll be ok, hand me my staff, I will be needed on deck soon. Ill not go out there unaided this time." she said and tried to pull herself out of the bed she was laid in.

Laying her back again, "Celine, you need to rest and this storm is not going to be nice. Rest while you can. There will be little we can do, even with your Angreal, to affect the weather." He waited for the argument to come.

Watched as he laid her back down in bed. She sent waves of anger and frustration through that bond, and included a pinch on his ear. She would not stay, or they would likely be tossed again by this storm.. maybe she could protect the boat from things in the path.
She grabbed up her staff and pushed past him towards the door. She pulled the cloak up over her head. She could feel the surge of anger through her bond.
She kept going till she was on deck. Watching as all the deck hands were shouting and running about getting the ship on. The winds had picked up, but still no clouds over head.
Perhaps another sister far away dealing with a boat down the river? She turned to see Tristan his eyes showing anger, but the rest of his face of calm. She stared into them and tilted her head slightly. "You disagree?"

He could feel the anger coming off her and he knew she could feel his from the look in her eyes.
"You disagree?"
He looked at her and then began "I do, I am here to keep you safe, the boat will sruvive the storm. it may even speed us on our way. You being out there, won't change it and may bring additional trouble on our heads. Let the Captain and his men do what they do and ride out this storm below."
He looked behind them and saw the beginnings of a dark cloud bank appearing and moving quickly, but not unnaturally so. "I think this is your storm, however it formed." Looking back to her and moving close to whisper "But channeling here will only announce our presence and set these mens tongue to wagging later. Save your strength, we may need it later."

She listened to him and sighed. The man new what was best, wether she liked it or not. They would reach TarValon and then off to tear within the week.
They went to the cabin and said little over the next few days. She knew they would come up on the docs of TarValon soon. Then off to Tear. She had plans in Tear, she was curious though, were the storm came from.
"Im sorry Tristan, you were right, to bring me back here. We have issues. We should be docked soon and Im hoping to not find out this storm was created by sisters on the go at the docs. Ill stay down in the cabin till we push off from the docs. Hopefully there will be no circumstances that hold us there."

The storm tossed and turned them a bit, but they come through it well. The boat was well built and crewed. For the remainder of the trip the river and sky were calm, which suited the Captain just fine. Moraine and himself spent much of the time in silence, one he wasn;t about to break.
The Captain slipped into Tar Valon early one morning and managed to unload and sell his cargo very quickly, he then bought up some other form of cargo and loaded and they were gone again by nightfall. None the wiser that Moraine was onboard. The crew grumbled a bit, but only one left and so they were now on the way to Tear.
They meandered and everything was normal on the river until they were about two days from town.
