Asha'man Edeleas

I was able to leave safely, and now I have finally reached my destination, although the trip took longer than I had expected. I won't bore you with the details of my journey, but I am sure that you are glad to know that everything went fine and I am safe and well.

I have been warmly welcomed here and everyone has been really nice. You never told me how wealthy you really are. Everything that I need and more has been offered, so I can assume that there is no need to worry over whether I will manage in my condition or not. I must admit that I feel rather uncomfortable bothering everyone so much and not being able to do anything in return, but they keep telling me not to worry and that they are more than glad to help. I am sure that you are better at telling if they are being honest or not.

In any case, I will be staying here for at least a year, so if you wish to reply, you know where to send it. I would be glad to hear from you, but it is entirely your choice.

OOC - There is an explanation why Edeleas' letters are short; he is not the type to divulge in details. Thank you.

Farina -

I am glad to hear that you are all right. I am hoping that they did not ask you unnecessary questions. My sisters, especially, since they are most anxious to know of me.

Things are the same here in Tar Valon. In the week of your escape, the Aes Sedai have been visibly agitated, no matter how they try to hide it beneath their serene faces. Be careful there in Cairhien. Aes Sedai spies abound.

How are you and the child? I hope you are both well.

I am glad to hear from you. You don't have to worry about me though, since I will not be visiting Cairhien outside your estates at all. I know that any passing Aes Sedai would sense my ability at once, so I will not take that chance. Everyone has assured me that no Aes Sedai will be let near me while I stay here, if one should pay a visit. I will take every precaution to assure that I will not be caught before I wish to be caught.

You were right about your sisters; they did ask a lot of questions about you. The rest of your family was curious as well, but I didn't mind their enquiries and answered as well as I could, although I don't know as much about you as your sisters obviously assumed. They were a tad disappointed at my meagre knowledge, but I found that quite amusing really. I think it's wonderful that you still keep in touch with your family and that they care about you.

I myself am well, and so is the baby. It has started kicking quite vigorously, which can prove to be quite troublesome sometimes. I have kept up practising channeling every day, using only small weaves that won't attract any attention unless an Aes Sedai is in the premises, mind you, but sometimes the weave collapses all by itself or I can't touch the Source at all, but I suppose that is just because of my condition. Everything else is going smoothly and I enjoy my stay here. Your family really tries to pamper me. I really appreciate their hospitality.

I hope everything goes well for you in Tar Valon and that no one will ask you awkward questions. But I suppose that is not likely since no one knows about any kind of connection between us. In any case, I hope you are well.
