Dianlinn, who only moments ago had been about to go and have some lunch, looked at the Accepted before her and nodded. Of course she would go and scrub the rust from those pots, it was exactly what she wanted to do. She was not sure why she should be doing it, but she was going to do it anyway. Right? She was one to follow what she was told, but the Aes Sedai, and while this girl was not an Aes Sedai, she would be one day. So Dianlinn should be loyal and do as she was told. Even when it looked like the chore she was about to do had been set for the girl now telling her to do it.
Dianlinn stopped.
Why was she to scrub the pots? It was not her chore, she was no under control of an Accepted, unless told so by her own trainers. And she had had been told to go and have lunch, as she would be aiding a class of Drin later that afternoon. Blinking once, she turned to face the Accepted, who was stood with a couple of others, and who wore a rather smug look on her face.
"No." Dianlinn said simply, and faced the group before her, though the smug look on the woman's face had slipped, and she seemed to frown before taking a step towards Dianlinn.
"Go scrub those pots!"
Dianlinn felt a strong compulsion to go and go as she was told, and she was turning before she could stop herself. But that was as far as she had gotten before she turned back to the girl, dark hair hanging loose down her back. Dianlinn's own hair had grown from the short style used by the Maidens, to a more curly bobbed cut that sat below her shoulders now. She still kept the long tail down her back though. She took another step towards the Accepted.
"No. I shall not." Her voice was firmer this time, "You go and wash your own pots." She frowned, she wanted to tell her she had no honour, but she held back, just. "Your words are wind."
The Accepted's face seemed to grow red, like she had been out in the sun all day, and Dianlinn lifted her chin a little as she waited to see what would happen next, as she continued to try and ignore the feeling in her head that was trying to encourage her tp do as she was asked.
