That is what the world does. That’s what we do; we heal. Even so much of my work to heal people or even Heal them is just speeding along the process that their body already knows to do or directing it to do it better.

Without the direct touch of the Dark One on the Pattern, the world has begun to slide back into the places and paths it is intended for, like a river that has been dammed up for too long yet still finds the riverbed again. Trees grow, flowers blood, fruit ripens, and the world heals from the scars we inflicted upon it.

While I can’t approve of passing his bond without his consent, I understand the need to do things to save the lives others. And I certainly can’t say that I would rather you have let him rush off like a woolheaded fool and get himself killed, of course.

I believe Lan has come to understand your actions, @askmoirainesedai, even if he did not like them.

My first inclination is to say Matrim Cauthon, but by the time I started thinking of him as a friend instead of a charge to be cared for, he was starting - STARTING - to become less infuriating.

For a time it was Rand, the stubborn, wool-headed fool. And in the years before Tarmon Gai’don, Lan was the most adept at raising my anger when he chose.

Serenity is a state of mind with clarity of thought and a lack of internal turmoil. It doesn’t have to be a state of emotionless neutrality, despite what Aes Sedai have historically seemed to think.

Not be Yellow…? I’ve never really considered it; Healing is the only thing that motivated me to come to the Tower and it has been all that I wanted for as long as I can remember.

I don’t care what she calls herself, it doesn’t change who or what she is. I know her far better now than I ever wanted to and that means I know better how to beat her.

No, Perrin, it’s okay. I’m perfectly capable of boxing ears that need it.

You want to… borrow my husband? Or is it as a Warder that you wish to have him? I’m far more likely to agree in the second case.
