She is upstairs working this evening, alternating between several projects in order that she might remain able to view each with clear mind and focus.

Moiraine has just set aside a journal open to her notes on the loosening of the Pattern and its effect on the dead of her world -- and now, perhaps, another -- and turned again in her anthology of poetry to a particular work, marked with a blue silk ribbon.

Merriman has not been in the bar much of late. Quite a lot of his time (relatively speaking, of course) has been spent in long and exceedingly technical discussions with the others of the Circle in the castle outside Time.

Discussions can only go so far, though. Sometimes, a different perspective is required.

He had attempted to take notes to help him sort out his thoughts, but he had run up against the fact that discussing ways to adapt magic to an unfamiliar situation occasionally requires language that falls outside even what the Old Speech can provide. The one page of notes he had made required eight different languages and three different writing systems -- just looking at it gave him something of a headache, and he had no desire to go back and decipher it later. So his hands are empty when he pauses outside the door of Moiraine's study and knocks quietly.

His mind, it might be said, is overly full.
