[panfandomsandbox] change is in the wind
She sits at the table near the fireplace, sipping tea and reflecting on what she has learned in recent days.
In the world where she was born, the Dark One is also known as the Lord of the Grave, and is the one who holds power and sway over the dead -- and to an extent, death itself. Fortunately, Moiraine is experienced enough with Milliways to not draw instantaneous conclusions.
(The lessons learned from Anthy Himemiya will remain with her for the rest of her life.)
It had helped that she had seen nothing of intentional evil or the mark of the Shadow as she knows it when she had studied Harrowhark while channeling. It is nonetheless something that requires consideration, in case action of some sort becomes necessary.

(Haven't you done enough?)
Her life in Twin Peaks is more different still.
(There will be time for peace, now.)
She is who she is, and always will be. Her nature will always lead her to stand against the Shadow for so long as iron is hard and stone abides, as the Malkieri put it.
But there are ways upon ways to do so.
"I did not intend to insult you with an offer of assistance. If you prefer to leave, I will not try to stop you. But if you would be willing to tell me more of the skills that you practice, I would still be very interested to learn."

His chair scrapes back, like the snarl of a wolf, as he gets to his feet. Stiffly, Wei Wuxian gives the most perfunctory of bows to Moiraine, then turns on his heel and walks away.
