The Grey Tower

Callum heard the man's voice as if from a slight distance, but he followed the guidance, nonetheless. Reaching out he tried to seize hold of the huge source of power, but every time he tried, he was either hurled back, or it slipped through his fingers. He kept trying, over and over, remotely surpri...

Rolan fell into step beside the other man, a small grin on his face that at least his little bit of experience wasn't going to be dismissed out of hand. He'd worried that for the highly trained Gaidin of the Tower someone who had been a sometime merchant guard was going to be looked down upon. As th...

Sensing that he may have been too nonchalant with his reply, Callum decided to put extra effort into letting the man know he took the topic seriously. He paid close attention to his words, and when he was asked to stand up and move a short distance from the fountain he did so. Sitting down a few pac...

Rolan noted the intensity of the other man's gaze, and how unwavering it was. He wasn't entirely certain, but he got the feeling he'd already made himself look fairly foolish. As there was nothing, he could do about that now he decided to just answer the question. "Some experience, yes, though ...

Rolan had been advised to seek out the man he'd been paired up with for his training and been given a rather broad sketch of what to look for. That would have been all well and good if the training yards hadn't been packed full of people of all shapes and sizes practicing various combat techniques, ...

Callum chuckled, "That's about where I'm at, honestly." Turning his body so that he could face the man a little bit better he continued. "I had always known it existed, that there were people who could wield it. There were even Aes Sedai and Asha'man who regularly came through Whitebr...

Callum turned as the other man approached and offered his own easy smile back at his words. "I'm finding it busy, but also strangely fulfilling so far. It's strange, being a grown man, and doing things I used to do as a child, but I see the reasoning behind it." he said with conviction. It...

Callum had sought out assistance from various people around the Tower but had only really had a single nibble on his requests to help him learn. He'd been a bit surprised at that, but then everyone else was busy, their lives filled with things they needed to do. Still, he'd had a single person offer...
