OOM

[agirllost]

It's a good connection. She feels the source and smiles, knowing no pain, only joy.

She had no idea it could feel this way and for a moment just luxuriates in the sensation.

She's so wrapped up in her work that she doesn't notice the door open.

Kim lets herself be moved to the bed, looking down at her hands.

"No, I know my Dad believes in magic...my sister here, she has powers. He's not afraid of her. But, she's never...hurt him."

She sniffs and raises her head, "What can I do if that happens?"

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

Mesaana furrowed her brow as she thought. Tapping her upper lip with a forefinger as she thought.

"Well, not very much. Give him some space, give him time to heal. Hopefully, he will forgave you for it, and did not feel betrayal."

A pause.

"It can often, for people who don't know, feel like a betrayal. They do not know that you cannot control those powers, and feel that you ought to have been able to stop it. Sometimes, there is resentment, and the inability to get close."

[agirllost]

"Space. Time. I can do that," she whispers.

"So I should wait for him to come to me?"

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

Mesaana nodded calmly. Icy blue eyes watching her carefully.

"Yes, you should. It is better that way. Give him time, let him deal with any fear."

A pause as she glanced away. Her voice was troubled as she spoke with a displeased look on her face. It was obvious that Lady Selae was struggling for words.

"I must confess that I feel rather horrible about this whole turn of events. You are my student and I should be watching you much more closely than I am. Please forgive me."

[agirllost]

"At least...at least it wasn't my daughter," she says after a moment. Her dad might eventually forgive her, but if she ever caused Angie pain, she's not sure she could ever forgive herself.

"How can you watch me more closely?"

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

Only strength of will prevented Mesaana from smiling in triumph. A moment of contemplative thought as she tapped her upper lip.

"Well, if you wanted I could take you to my home in Mar Ruois. I could work with you in the evenings, and because of the time differential, no one here would notice any absense. I can send you back here whenever you like, till you learn to do it yourself."

[agirllost]

"I can't leave them, Lady Selae...unless you're sure they wouldn't notice that I'm gone."

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

Mesaana nods calmly.

"They will not notice that you are gone. Three to four days passes for every day that passes in the bar. I can send you home whenever you would like."

A golden glow burst around Mesaana, and a line of silvery light split the air before spinning open into a Gateway. On the other side, is an austere hall of white glimmering white stone.

"That is all it takes to send you home."

[agirllost]

She takes a shaky breath and lets it out, trying not to be afraid.

'It's safe, they won't know you're gone, you'll learn to control these powers without worrying about hurting anyone'

"I...do want to see your world."

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

A small smile on Mesaana's face. Icy blue eyes watching her calmly. This was easier than she had thought it would be. It was only a matter of time till she controlled Kim like she did Astoreth.

"Whenever you would like, Lady Kim."

[agirllost]

She knows that she's not making enough progress here.

"I'm...ready now."

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

Mesaana stood up from her seat by the bed, and walked over to the portal. Calmly stretching out a hand, she spoke softly.

"It is often very odd for people their first time through a Gateway."

[agirllost]

Kim stands, wary but knowing this is necessary.

"What is it like?"

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

A delicate windchime laugh, and an amused tone in Mesaana's voice.

"It is no different than any other step. People expect there to be something, but there isn't. That is why it is odd."

[agirllost]

For a moment, Selae's laugh reminds her of Nina and she mentally shakes herself, reminding herself that it's just appearance, it doesn't mean anything.

"Should I bring anything?"

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

Mesaana considered if she would need clothes and toiletries, and decided that she had seen her bathroom, and that it would be best to provide for Kim.

"No, I will provide you with anything you might need."

[agirllost]

She looks at the gateway and then back at her teacher. "Should I leave a note?"

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

Mesaana shrugged calmly. Icy blue eyes watching Kim carefully.

"Why bother? You will be here every day to them."

[agirllost]

She nods, hoping that her teacher's right.

Almost cautiously she walks up to the gateway, expecting it to pull her in or to feel wind or...anything. But she takes another breath, steps through and...is somewhere else entirely.

She glances back at her room and down at the white floor.

[teach-them-all.livejournal.com]

Mesaana steps through after her. A small smile on her face as she watched Kim carefully. The wonder on the girl's face was amusing.

The Gateway winked shut behind her, and the glow of Saidar disappeared from around her.

"Welcome to the Second Age, Lady Kim."
