He could feel her stir, but she stayed asleep. The woman was now near the horses. Tristan began to creep through the woods towards her, staying just in sight of the woman and coming in behind her. She had now moved to the carriage and was rummaging it. She pulled item after item up and looked at it in the moonlight. He could see what she pulled out, but could not fathom what she was looking for. He silently slipped his knife from it's sheath he drew himself closer
All the while he was trying to wake Moraine, sending her ever increasing levels of tension through the bond.

She was in falme, it was at the time the Seanchan tried taking back the port. She had run into Sul'dame there. She could feel the fear at meeting them. Knowing at first sight the rumors held true. A sudden urge to turn pulled at her, an urge pulling at her, knawing inside her mind.......

Using the numerous "Eyes and Ears" of the Blue Ajah, she had tracked Moraine to this very point. The last agent said she and her warder had picked up a carriage and were traveling the way to Falme. Rummaging through the carriage, looking for a clue as to the owners she felt as though she was being watched. Pausing, she raised her head, and abruptly turned and wrapped the man in weaves of Air, holding him up in mid air. The man was Tristan, Moraine's warder. Arien heaved both a sigh of relief and of exsasperation at the same time. "What do you mean to sneak up on a woman like that, in the dark too!...why, you were going to kill me?" She pursed her lips and looked at him, blinked.

Tristan again found himself wrapped oup in nothing and supsended from it as well. He looked at the Woman, thinking, she seems to know me, I do not know her however. Hmmm I wish Moraine was awake. His consternation growing.
He looked to the woman again and smiled. "No I was not about to kill you, just making sure that you were not a thief in the night or worse. You were sneaking through the woods and rummaging through our carriage. Have I met you Aes Sedai?" Still hanging by the air above him.

Moraine was tugged awake by startle in the bond. She shot up embracing saidar. Reading weaves of fire and air. She turned to look in Tristan's direction. She could feel a woman channeling. She hoped it wasnt that Nikki woman! She stood up and started quietly towards the carraige.
Seeing Tristan wrapped up in flows of Air she nearly attacked. Stopping just short of letting the weave of fire strike. It was Arien Sedai. The Head Selector! What on earth was she doing out! "Arien Sedai, peace be with you Sister, it is I Moraine, and my warder Tristan." She said nodding with respect.
She glanced at Tristan, then back to Arien "What In the Light brings you Sister? We have much to catch up on! We have not spoken in a year."She said watching as Tristan settled back down on his feet.

Setting the warder back on his feet and releasing the bonds of Air that had held him, she turned to Moraine, dusting her skirts. "I actually had hoped that I would have caught you sooner, back in town, but certain things prevented me." Her mind wandered briefly back to the gash that had once been on her shoulder, now only a mere memory. "I have decided to acompany you on your hunt for Seanchan."
She didn't want to tell them just yet that there were some Sisters, that had been in Falme on Tower business, that had come up missing. With the Seanchan in these lands now, everything pointed to them, and their Sul'dam. Foul and wretched people they were, kidnapping women who could channel and putting them on leashes like dogs. And Aes Sedai too! She decided she would tell Moraine later when they could talk of other matters privately.

She nearly missed a step when Arien had said she was on the same route as them. And the fact that she knew, was disconcerting. The eyes and ears must be for all even to watch fellow sisters. After all Arien was the head. She nodded and lead Arien to the camp fire.
"Arien Sedai, this is my new warder Tristan. I didnt think that word traveled so quickly. Tristan this is Arien Sedai" She couldnt say out loud that she was the head, but she would whisper it to him then. Aes Sedai business was Aes Sedai business and Tristan knew that she would devulge all she needed to to him.
They sat by the fire and and talked of the seanchan. She smiled to Tristan, giving him the ok to put his two cents in. It looked as if he was the one with the steel and combat knowledge to get them in and out of this one. She told Arien of the attempt on her life and the woman Nikki they held captive in the tent. She winced letting the words out about that foul woman, but she had no other choice. Arien said she was coming and she needed to know what bagage they had.
