Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kiae quickly let herself in the back door, wrinkling her nose at the dust and disrepair but ignoring it before she started to sneeze. She wanted the attic in case she did have to use the Power - she was unsure what power her angreal held and didn't want to accidentally blow up an inn full of innocent people.

She quickly took note of where her comrades were before drawing in a bit of saidar, enough to heighten her awareness if any weaves were cast or channeling done.

Kiae paid little attention to the queen's words, knowing they'd be the same generic ideals spouted repeatedly with little meaning behind them. It was all a ridiculous farce, she thought with a sneer as she moved closer to the window. Erasmus was nowhere in site, nor was anyone else who looked suspicious in the least.

Frowning, the Yellow moved from window to window restlessly, using the Bond to see if anything had happened on the streets out of her line of sight. Ethin was tense but calm and she groaned. "Was this all a farce?" she wondered, anxiety growing.

The Yellow wished she had contact with her fellow Aes Sedai Sister, no matter how crazy she drove her, if only because it was beginning to get slightly creepy up in the attic by herself, isolated from the others.
"Perhaps Esole and I splitting up was not such a wise idea," she murmured, more to keep herself assure that she could still hear than anything else. Consequently, she jumped and whirled around in the air when someone coughed politely behind her.
"Speaking to yourself is a sign of madness, Sister," Erasmus said cheerfully. Before she could speak, Kiae found herself wrapped in bonds of Air and pulled to her knees, gagged. "Don't worry, that Green Sister has her own worries to attend to as well. You're both quite unique, you understand, so we may as well take both," he continued cheerfully. He paced slowly around her in a circle, observing her muffled struggle with interest.
"Our trap worked perfectly. You Sisters are all alike, thinking of protecting others and not even trying to keep yourself out of harm's way. Even when I warned you." The man 'tsked', shaking his head as if disappointed.

Erasmus raised an eyebrow at Ethin's demand, casually flicking a finger in the Warder's direction. Kiae struggled as Ethin dropped to his knees with a groan, having no idea what the man was doing.
"Ah, Warders. They're so annoying and useless. I don't know why you keep them around, to be honest," Erasmus informed her, turning his attention back to Kiae.
"Just a little more..." Fingering behind her back, she finally was able to grab hold of her angreal. Clutching it tightly, she wanted to wait until the last moment to surprise the man, as he would be able to sense her channeling. "Bonds of Air are like Bonds with Warders. I just need to break them right," she reasoned, hoping she wasn't going to get herself killed in the process.
Erasmus kept an eye on Ethin as he moved towards the window, chuckling. "Well, seeing as that feisty little Green proved to be little match, I might as well be getting on. Come along, Sister," he said, slinging her over his shoulder with an ease that belied his slim figure. He was almost to the door when Kiae sucked in as much of saidar as possible as fast as she could, feeling light-headed from so much of the Power in her. It was then she found out what the angreal could do.
"I'm not burning out!" she realized in disbelief, taking in more than she ever had been able to do before. With a vengence, she snapped the bonds of Air that held her and dropped to the ground heavily as Erasmus stumbled back in shock.
"What the...what a surprising ability," he managed, actually appearing worried as he eyed Kiae and Ethin.
"Yes, it is, isn't it?" she growled, blades of Air spinning his way. He barely managed to deflect them and whirled around as they gouged holes in the walls behind him.
"I suppose it's time to retreat, don't want to cause too much of a mess. We want you intact," he warned them, glancing at Ethin one last time before weaving a Gateway behind him. Kiae forced more saidar into her, trying to stop the gate from closing, but it snapped shut just as Erasmus disappeared.
She dropped to her knees, quickly releasing saidar, and gasped for air.

Kiae stared at up them, half amazed and half angry beyond all belief. Taking a few deep breaths to try to compose herself, unsure whether she even would be able to do any Healing at the moment, she struggled to her feet and limped over to where Esole's brother held her.
"No wonder the Tower didn't take them as Warders, they're too stupid by far," she thought in aggravation, thinking it would be nice if someone would worry about Ethin on the floor instead of Esole, who had a few cuts and perhaps a bruised rib.
"She's not in any danger of dying, you Light-blasted fool. And if you don't stop yelling at me I'll hang you by your toes out the window with Air," she threatened calmly, quickly delving to find the damage. A broken rib, another bruised, and a few cuts on her face that weren't deep was all that was wrong. Nothing that required immediate Healing, but Kiae had the feeling that if she told them that, they wouldn't listen and she would be forced to drastic measures.
Sighing, and worried about Ethin, she picked up her angreal and drew in saidar once more, not nearly as much as last time, before laying several Healing weaves on Esole. Kiae managed a satisfied smirk as the cuts slowly faded, lines of blood the only sign of any injury. Dismissing the trio, she moved over to kneel by Ethin, checking for any damage and sighing in relief upon finding none, just some bruises.

Kiae remained next to Ethin, her hand on his forehead and the Bond wide open to sense any change. She smiled as he stirred and helped him to sit upright.
"I'm fine, Esole. Mostly," she added, wincing at the sharp pain in her sie. "Probably broke something as well when I fell," she mused, but there was no help for it. Esole couldn't Heal her and she couldn't do anything for herself, so she'd have to wait for Esole to recover fully. "Erasmus ran off. He said he wants us intact, so I doubted there was much damage done," she added to her brothers, raising an eyebrow to let them know exactly what she thought of their yelling.

Kiae nodded, pressing her hand to her side to put pressure on the pain a bit. "Yes, they want us both," she said, setting her teeth a bit. It only hurt when she inhaled, so she did her best to breath shallower. "It's a good thing you ran in when you did, Ethin. And you two as well," she added to Esole's brothers.
She got to her feet, forced to use Ethin's shoulder as a brace to stand upright completely. "We should head back to the inn, nothing more will happen tonight. They had their fun," she said shortly, knowing they were all in need of rest.

Kiae sat down with a wince and sighed heavily. "Well, the procession went uninterrupted," she remarked dryly, leaning an arm on the table beside her for support. "Erasmus and another channeller attacked us. Thanks to Ethin and Esole's brothers, however, they were unsuccessful," she added, with a nod towards the men who were currently occupied with their sister.

Before anyone could say anything else, the door slammed open and a tall man stormed in, the hood of his Warder cloak revealing bright blue eyes and long blonde hair that was tied back. His clothes were leather and simple cloth, but the two swords at his side and his cloak revealed him to be more than a simple traveler. It only took a second for him to appraise the room before he strode closer and peered at them. He was taller than most, 6'2", and his stance was that of a Warder ready for battle.
"Who here is Kiae Sedai?" he demanded, his eyes resting on the Yellow. "You are, I assume," he continued without waiting for an answer, beginning to move closer.
