Chapter 16: Comforting Lan

"So Egwene, why are you here, did you test and fail?" Moiraine almost came close to not having serenity.

"No, I tested and passed."

Rand, who was drinking some wine, almost choked. She is finally Aes Sedai now.

Egwene moved her shoulders as though they were tired. "I hate the effects of the Oaths though."

Moiraine laughed and moved her shoulders. "Yes, I can still remember that too. But that doesn't explain why you are here."

"I chose the Green. I wanted to join my Sisters." It felt weird for her to say this.

"Did Nynaeve pass? And Elayne?" Lan sat forward when Moiraine mentioned Nynaeve.

"Yes, they both passed, and they are both Green."

"Why didn't they come?" Lan demanded.

"Because, they had other things to do." Egwene chose her words carefully. She couldn't lie, and well, Nynaeve did have other things to do.

"Rand, maybe we should go to your tent and discuss the war plans in your tent," Moiraine suggested.

"Again?"

"Well, now we should all discuss it. You, me, Egwene, Lan, Perrin, Faile, Mat..."

Egwene's heart jumped a little at the mention of Mat and she sputtered over her wine. "You guys go ahead...get the others...I'll be there."

They filed out of the tent and as Egwene had hoped, Lan was last. Just as he was about to leave she put a hand on his arm. He stopped and turned around, staring at her quizzically.

Egwene stood on tiptoe and threw her arms around his neck. "That's from Nynaeve," she whispered in his ear...
