Behrooz is in her head. She's in his. She wanted to believe it was a side-effect, a delusion, but it's real and happening and she can see no way to sever the link. She would laugh if she wasn't so afraid of everyone's reaction to this news.

Elan. Oh God. Elan was here and could still be here and so many people to warn, and Kim knows she should tell everyone she can find but there's only one person she needs to talk to right now.

Moiraine.

She knows that her teacher has answers, will be able to...solve something, anything, because she keeps feeling Behrooz in her mind and old injuries that she'd forgotten but that his body still remembered. Her hand drifts up to touch her neck and she forces it back down.

Elan almost killed Behrooz. Her stomach turns thinking about it and it makes her want to rip something to shreds. She's trying to work on impulse control. But Elan's back and Behrooz is tied to her and if anyone knows how to deal with both situations, it's her teacher.

Kim reaches Moiraine's door and knocks, hoping that she's available.

The soft, steady glow of the wards brightens for a moment and then parts as the Aes Sedai calls out from within,

"You may enter, Kim."

She is turning sideways in her chair, away from her desk, as the younger woman enters the room.

"The work that I am pursuing currently can be set aside at present," she says. "It is not a bad time, therefore."

Dark eyes are sharply assessing as she studies Kim.

"How are matters with you?"

She rises from the seat at her desk and comes to join Kim, taking a seat on the small sofa by the armchairs instead.

"Tell me, then."

The Aes Sedai's tone is perfectly calm, even reassuring.

Moiraine grows very, very still.

"It is not impossible, actually." Her tone remains just as calm as before, but her gaze is much more intent, now.

"If you are willing to allow it, then there is something I would see."

"It is not, no," Moiraine tells her, as a golden light blooms around her.

She reaches out to touch Kim's forehead, very gently, and bright silver threads of light twist from her fingertips and dance across the younger woman's hair and temples, seeking-- and finding.

Kim may feel a gentle brush of Spirit shiver across the link in her mind even as Moiraine releases saidar and studies her carefully.

"I would not have thought you could find your way to such a thing as this, untrained in it."

A pause.

"How very desperate you must have been."

Moiraine shakes her head.

"Not in and of itself, Kim." Her calm tone is quiet and steadying. "But do not think of it as something of harm, if you can, for it is not."

"What you have done is to bond a Warder."

"I would not necessarily call him that, precisely," Moiraine says.

Her tone is very dry.

"Although protection is considered part of it, of course."

"The bond is a weave of Spirit that links the two of you," the Aes Sedai tells her. "Which, I suspect, you have already realized. It is one of the most intricate weaves known to the Aes Sedai, and for you to have accidentally accomplished it is significant indeed."

"You will be aware of him, and he of you; I myself have found it something like the feel of a knot of emotions in the back of my mind. You will know where he is at all times, or should, and will be able to draw upon his strength for support, and he upon your power for endurance and Healing, among other things."

The sudden silence very nearly has weight of its own.

"I have, in the past," Moiraine says, finally. "For more than twenty years, as it happens."

A pause, and she tilts her head, studying Kim carefully.

"Actions?"

"It is." Calmly. "We worked well together, I think. It may be that you shall have the opportunity to meet him, as it happens."

The Aes Sedai studies her for a moment, and then inclines her head slightly.

"I see. It is not as though the one bonded is present and looking over your shoulder, Kim, but with time one may learn to discern from context and emotion something of what may be occurring."

A pause.

"What does your friend think of this situation?"

There is yet another pause, in which the Aes Sedai studies her carefully.

"It is meant to be permanent unto death," she says. "However, it is also not a thing that is usually done by accident, although there have been times in the past when such a bonding was made against the other's will."

There is something of cool distaste in her tone as she says this.

"To unweave what is woven is often more complicated a matter than weaving it in the first place. Still, such things are not impossible, should you truly wish it so."

A beat.

"I have something of an interest in Behrooz, as it happens."

"It is a question that you would do better to ask of him than of me, I should think."

Her advice is calmly given, a clear contrast to Kim's worry.

"Certainly," she adds. "He is a Wolfbrother, after all."

Something almost unreadable passes over her expression.

"There are different customs for the different Ajahs when it comes to bonding Warders," she explains, after a moment.

"Those of the Green may have more than one Warder at a time, for example; those of the Blue, by tradition, choose one. As the bond is meant to be permanent until death--"

She shrugs, expressively. There is a pause, and then,

"I am something of an exception. The Wheel weaves."
