The Eye of the World_43 Flashcards
Now.
Now.
You can’t make yourself forget that you’re a [kawaii] [onna], now, and it frightens you.
You can’t make yourself forget that you’re a pretty woman, now, and it frightens you.
Everybody [henka].”
Everybody changes.”
Nynaeve’s [kao] paled as he spoke, whether with [ikari] or something else, Rand could not tell.
Nynaeve’s face paled as he spoke, whether with anger or something else, Rand could not tell.
Mat gave a sly [warai], and his feverish [me] slid to Egwene.
Mat gave a sly laugh, and his feverish eyes slid to Egwene.
“[kawaii] Egwene,”
“Pretty Egwene,”
he croaked.
he croaked.
“[kawaii] as Nynaeve.
“Pretty as Nynaeve.
And you [kyōyū shite imasu] [sonota] [monogoto] now, don’t you?
And you share other things now, don’t you?
[sonota] dreams.
Other dreams.
What do you [yume] about now?”
What do you dream about now?”
Egwene took a [suteppu] back from the [shindai].
Egwene took a step back from the bed.
“We are safe from the [Kurai] One’s [me] for the [jikan] [kōfuku],”
“We are safe from the Dark One’s eyes for the time being,”
Moiraine announced as she walked into the [heya] with Lan at her [kakato].
Moiraine announced as she walked into the room with Lan at her heels.
Her [me] fell on Mat as she stepped through the [toguchi], and she hissed as [baai] she had touched a [atsui] [sutōbu].
Her eyes fell on Mat as she stepped through the doorway, and she hissed as if she had touched a hot stove.
“Get away from him!”
“Get away from him!”
Nynaeve did not [ugokasu] except for turning to [gyōshi] at the Aes Sedai in [odoroki].
Nynaeve did not move except for turning to stare at the Aes Sedai in surprise.
In two quick [suteppu] Moiraine seized the [chie] by the [kata], hauling her across the [yuka] like a [fukuro] of [kokumotsu].
In two quick steps Moiraine seized the Wisdom by the shoulders, hauling her across the floor like a sack of grain.
Nynaeve struggled and protested, [shikashi] Moiraine did not release her until she was [yoku] away from the [shindai].
Nynaeve struggled and protested, but Moiraine did not release her until she was well away from the bed.
The [chie] continued her protests as she got to her [ashi], angrily straightening her [fuku], [shikashi] Moiraine ignored her completely.
The Wisdom continued her protests as she got to her feet, angrily straightening her clothes, but Moiraine ignored her completely.
The Aes Sedai watched Mat to the [jogai] of everything else, eyeing him the [michi] she would a [dokuhebi].
The Aes Sedai watched Mat to the exclusion of everything else, eyeing him the way she would a viper.
“All of you [taizai] away from him,”
“All of you stay away from him,”
she said.
she said.
“And be [shizuka].”
“And be quiet.”
Mat stared back as intently as she.
Mat stared back as intently as she.
He bared his [ha] in a silent, snarling rictus, and pulled himself into an ever tighter [musubime], [shikashi] he never took his [me] from hers.
He bared his teeth in a silent, snarling rictus, and pulled himself into an ever tighter knot, but he never took his eyes from hers.
Slowly she put one [te] on him, lightly, on a [hiza] drawn up to his [mune].
Slowly she put one hand on him, lightly, on a knee drawn up to his chest.
A [keiren] shook him at her [tacchi], a [miburui] of [keno kan] spasming through his entire [bodi], and abruptly he pulled one [te] out, slashing at her [kao] with the [rubī]-hilted [dagā].
A convulsion shook him at her touch, a shudder of revulsion spasming through his entire body, and abruptly he pulled one hand out, slashing at her face with the ruby-hilted dagger.
One [bun] Lan was in the [toguchi], the next he was at the [shindai saido], as [baai] he had not bothered with the intervening [supēsu].
One minute Lan was in the doorway, the next he was at the bedside, as if he had not bothered with the intervening space.
His [te] caught Mat’s [tekubi], stopping the [surasshu] as [baai] it had struck [ishi].
His hand caught Mat’s wrist, stopping the slash as if it had struck stone.
Still Mat held himself in that tight [utsuwa-bw, tama-bl].
Still Mat held himself in that tight ball.
Only the [te] with the [dagā] tried to [ugokasu], straining against the [kanshu]’s implacable [gurippu].
Only the hand with the dagger tried to move, straining against the Warder’s implacable grip.
Mat’s [me] never left Moiraine, and they burned with [kirai].
Mat’s eyes never left Moiraine, and they burned with hate.
Moiraine also did not [ugokasu].
Moiraine also did not move.
She did not flinch from the [ha] only [inchi] from her [kao], as she had not when he [saisho] struck.
She did not flinch from the blade only inches from her face, as she had not when he first struck.
“How did he come by this?”
“How did he come by this?”
she asked in a [hagane] [koe].
she asked in a steel voice.
“I asked [baai] Mordeth had given you anything.
“I asked if Mordeth had given you anything.
I asked, and I warned you, and you said he had not.”
I asked, and I warned you, and you said he had not.”
“He didn’t,”
“He didn’t,”
Rand said.
Rand said.
“He…
“He…
Mat took it from the [hōmotsu] [heya].”
Mat took it from the treasure room.”
Moiraine looked at him, her [me] seeming to [yakedo] as much as Mat’s.
Moiraine looked at him, her eyes seeming to burn as much as Mat’s.
He almost stepped back before she turned away again, back to the [shindai].
He almost stepped back before she turned away again, back to the bed.
“I didn’t know until after we were [bunri shita].
“I didn’t know until after we were separated.
I didn’t know.”
I didn’t know.”
“You did not know.”
“You did not know.”
Moiraine studied Mat.
Moiraine studied Mat.
He still lay with his [hiza] pulled up to his [mune], still snarled soundlessly at her, and his [te] yet fought Lan to [rīchi] her with the [dagā].
He still lay with his knees pulled up to his chest, still snarled soundlessly at her, and his hand yet fought Lan to reach her with the dagger.
“It is a [fushigi] you got this far, carrying this.
“It is a wonder you got this far, carrying this.
I [kanjita] the [aku] of it when I laid [me] on him, the [tacchi] of Mashadar, [shikashi] a Fade could [kankaku] it for [mairu].
I felt the evil of it when I laid eyes on him, the touch of Mashadar, but a Fade could sense it for miles.
Even though he would not know exactly where, he would know it was near, and Mashadar would [dorō] his [seishin] [dōjini, tsutsu, issun] his [hone] remembered that this same [aku] swallowed an [guntai] – Dreadlords, Fades, Trollocs, and all.
Even though he would not know exactly where, he would know it was near, and Mashadar would draw his spirit while his bones remembered that this same evil swallowed an army – Dreadlords, Fades, Trollocs, and all.
Some [Kurai-yūjin] could probably feel it, too.
Some Darkfriends could probably feel it, too.
Those who have truly given away their [tamashī].
Those who have truly given away their souls.
There could not [tasukeru] [shikashi] be those who would [fushigi] at suddenly [kanji] this, as [baai] the [hijō ni] [kūki] around them itched.
There could not help but be those who would wonder at suddenly feeling this, as if the very air around them itched.
They would be compelled to seek it.
They would be compelled to seek it.
It should have drawn them to it as a [magunetto] draws [tetsu] [shinsei].”
It should have drawn them to it as a magnet draws iron filings.”
“There were [Kurai-yūjin],”
“There were Darkfriends,”
Rand said, “more than once, [shikashi] we got away from them.
Rand said, “more than once, but we got away from them.
And a Fade, the [yoru, kishi_knt] before we reached Caemlyn, [shikashi] he never [mimashita] us.”
And a Fade, the night before we reached Caemlyn, but he never saw us.”
He cleared his [nodo].
He cleared his throat.
“There are [uwasa] of strange [monogoto] in the [yoru, kishi_knt] [soto ni] the [toshi].
“There are rumors of strange things in the night outside the city.
It could be Trollocs.”
It could be Trollocs.”
“Oh, it’s Trollocs, [hitsuji kai],”
“Oh, it’s Trollocs, sheepherder,”
Lan said wryly.
Lan said wryly.
“And where Trollocs are, there are Fades.”
“And where Trollocs are, there are Fades.”
Tendons stood out on the [rimen] of his [te] from the [doryoku] of holding Mat’s [tekubi], [shikashi] there was no [hizumi] in his [koe].
Tendons stood out on the back of his hand from the effort of holding Mat’s wrist, but there was no strain in his voice.
“They’ve tried to hide their [tsūka], [shikashi] I have seen [sain] for two [hi].
“They’ve tried to hide their passage, but I have seen sign for two days.
And heard [nōka] and [murabito] [tsubuyaki] about [monogoto] in the [yoru, kishi_knt].
And heard farmers and villagers mutter about things in the night.
The Myrddraal managed to [sutoraiki] into the Two [kawa] unseen, somehow, [shikashi] every [ichi nichi] they come closer to those who can send [heishi] to [kari] them down.
The Myrddraal managed to strike into the Two Rivers unseen, somehow, but every day they come closer to those who can send soldiers to hunt them down.
Even so, they won’t [teishi] now, [hitsuji kai].”
Even so, they won’t stop now, sheepherder.”
“[shikashi] we’re in Caemlyn,”
“But we’re in Caemlyn,”
Egwene said.
Egwene said.
“They can’t get to us as long as—”
“They can’t get to us as long as —”
“They can’t?”
“They can’t?”
the [kanshu] cut her off.
the Warder cut her off.
“The Fades are [tatemono] their [sūji] in the [inaka].
“The Fades are building their numbers in the countryside.
That’s [heiya] enough from the [sain], [baai] you know what to [hyōjō] for.
That’s plain enough from the sign, if you know what to look for.
Already there are more Trollocs than they must just to [udedokei] all the [hōhō] out of the [toshi], a dozen [kobushi], at least.
Already there are more Trollocs than they need just to watch all the ways out of the city, a dozen fists, at least.
There can only be one [riyū]; when the Fades have enough [sūji], they will come into the [toshi] after you.
There can only be one reason; when the Fades have enough numbers, they will come into the city after you.
That [kōi] may send [hanbun] the [guntai] of the [minami] marching to the Borderlands, [shikashi] the [shōko] is that they’re willing to take that [risuku].
That act may send half the armies of the south marching to the Borderlands, but the evidence is that they’re willing to take that risk.
You three have escaped them too long.
You three have escaped them too long.
It [rukkusu] as [baai] you’ve brought a new Trolloc [sensō] to Caemlyn, [hitsuji kai].”
It looks as if you’ve brought a new Trolloc War to Caemlyn, sheepherder.”
Egwene gave a gasping sob, and Perrin shook his [atama] as though to deny it.
Egwene gave a gasping sob, and Perrin shook his head as though to deny it.
Rand [kanjita] a [byōki] in his [i] at the [shikō] of Trollocs in the [machi] of Caemlyn.
Rand felt a sickness in his stomach at the thought of Trollocs in the streets of Caemlyn.
All those [hitobito] at one another’s [nodo], never realizing the real [kyōi] waiting to come over the [kabe].
All those people at one another’s throats, never realizing the real threat waiting to come over the walls.
What would they do when they suddenly found Trollocs and Fades in their [tadanaka], [satsugai] them?
What would they do when they suddenly found Trollocs and Fades in their midst, killing them?
He could see the [tō] [moeru], [honoo] breaking through the domes, Trollocs pillaging through the curving [machi] and vistas of the Inner [toshi].
He could see the towers burning, flames breaking through the domes, Trollocs pillaging through the curving streets and vistas of the Inner City.
The [kyūden] itself in [honoo].
The Palace itself in flames.
Elayne, and Gawyn, and Morgase…
Elayne, and Gawyn, and Morgase…
[shin da].
dead.
“Not yet,”
“Not yet,”
Moiraine said absently.
Moiraine said absently.
She was still [ito] on Mat.
She was still intent on Mat.
“[baai] we can find a [michi] out of Caemlyn, the Halfmen will have no more [intaresuto] here.
“If we can find a way out of Caemlyn, the Halfmen will have no more interest here.
[baai].
If.
So many [baai]’s.”
So many if’s.”
“[yori yoi] we were all [shin da],”
“Better we were all dead,”
Perrin said suddenly, and Rand jumped at the [ekō] of his own [shikō].
Perrin said suddenly, and Rand jumped at the echo of his own thoughts.
Perrin still sat staring at the [yuka] – glaring at it now – and his [koe] was bitter.
Perrin still sat staring at the floor – glaring at it now – and his voice was bitter.
“Everywhere we go, we bring [itami] and [kurushimi] on our [bakkuappu shimasu].
“Everywhere we go, we bring pain and suffering on our backs.
It would be [yori yoi] for everyone [baai] we were [shin da].”
It would be better for everyone if we were dead.”
Nynaeve rounded on him, her [kao] [hanbun] [fyūrī] and [hanbun] worried [kyōfu], [shikashi] Moiraine forestalled her.
Nynaeve rounded on him, her face half fury and half worried fear, but Moiraine forestalled her.
“What do you think to [gein], for yourself or anyone else, by dying?”
“What do you think to gain, for yourself or anyone else, by dying?”
the Aes Sedai asked.
the Aes Sedai asked.
Her [koe] was [reberu], yet sharp.
Her voice was level, yet sharp.
“[baai] the [omo] of the [haka] has gained as much [jiyū] to [tacchi] the [moyō] as I [kyōfu], he can [rīchi] you [shin da] more easily than alive, now.
“If the Lord of the Grave has gained as much freedom to touch the Pattern as I fear, he can reach you dead more easily than alive, now.
[shin da], you can [tasukeru] no one, not the [hitobito] who have helped you, not your [yūjin] and [kazoku] back in the Two [kawa].
Dead, you can help no one, not the people who have helped you, not your friends and family back in the Two Rivers.
The [kage] is falling over the [sekai], and none of you can [teishi] it [shin da].”
The Shadow is falling over the world, and none of you can stop it dead.”
Perrin raised his [atama] to [hyōjō] at her, and Rand gave a [kaishi, hajimeru].
Perrin raised his head to look at her, and Rand gave a start.
The irises of his [yūjin]’s [me] were more [kiiro] than [chairo].
The irises of his friend’s eyes were more yellow than brown.
With his shaggy [kami] and the [kyōdo] of his [shisen], there was something about him…
With his shaggy hair and the intensity of his gaze, there was something about him…
Rand could not [tsukamimasu] it enough to make it out.
Rand could not grasp it enough to make it out.
Perrin spoke with a soft [heimen do] that gave his [kotoba] more [omosa] than [baai] he had shouted.
Perrin spoke with a soft flatness that gave his words more weight than if he had shouted.
“We can’t [teishi] it alive, either, now can we?”
“We can’t stop it alive, either, now can we?”
“I will have [jikan] to argue with you later,”
“I will have time to argue with you later,”
Moiraine said, “[shikashi] your [yūjin] needs me now.”
Moiraine said, “but your friend needs me now.”
She stepped aside so they could all see Mat clearly.
She stepped aside so they could all see Mat clearly.
His [me] still on her with a [gekido]-filled [gyōshi], he had not moved or changed his [ichi] on the [shindai].
His eyes still on her with a rage-filled stare, he had not moved or changed his position on the bed.
[ase] stood out on his [kao], and his [kuchibiru] were bloodless in an unchanging [unari goe].
Sweat stood out on his face, and his lips were bloodless in an unchanging snarl.
All of his [tsuyosa] seemed to be pouring into the [doryoku] to [rīchi] Moiraine with the [dagā] Lan held motionless.
All of his strength seemed to be pouring into the effort to reach Moiraine with the dagger Lan held motionless.
“Or had you forgotten?”
“Or had you forgotten?”
Perrin gave an embarrassed [kata o sukumeru] and spread his [te] wordlessly.
Perrin gave an embarrassed shrug and spread his hands wordlessly.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“What’s wrong with him?”
Egwene asked, and Nynaeve added, “Is it catching?
Egwene asked, and Nynaeve added, “Is it catching?
I can still treat him.
I can still treat him.
I don’t seem to [kyacchi] sick, no [mondai] what it is.”
I don’t seem to catch sick, no matter what it is.”
“Oh, it is catching,”
“Oh, it is catching,”
Moiraine said, “and your…
Moiraine said, “and your…
[hogo] would not [hozon shimasu] you.”
protection would not save you.”
She pointed to the [rubī]-hilted [dagā], careful not to let her [yubi] [tacchi] it.
She pointed to the ruby-hilted dagger, careful not to let her finger touch it.
The [ha] trembled as Mat strained to [rīchi] her with it.
The blade trembled as Mat strained to reach her with it.
“This is from Shadar Logoth.
“This is from Shadar Logoth.
There is not a [koishi] of that [toshi] that is not tainted and dangerous to bring [soto ni] the [kabe], and this is far more than a [koishi].
There is not a pebble of that city that is not tainted and dangerous to bring outside the walls, and this is far more than a pebble.
The [aku] that killed Shadar Logoth is in it, and in Mat, too, now.
The evil that killed Shadar Logoth is in it, and in Mat, too, now.
[utagai] and [nikushimi] so strong that even those closest are seen as [teki], rooted so [fukai] in the [hone] that eventually the only [shikō] left is to kill.
Suspicion and hatred so strong that even those closest are seen as enemies, rooted so deep in the bone that eventually the only thought left is to kill.
By carrying the [dagā] beyond the [kabe] of Shadar Logoth he freed it, this [shīdo] of it, from what [ketsugō shita] it to that [basho].
By carrying the dagger beyond the walls of Shadar Logoth he freed it, this seed of it, from what bound it to that place.
It will have waxed and waned in him, what he is in the [kokoro] of him [tatakai] what the [densen] of Mashadar sought to make him, [shikashi] now the [tatakai] [uchigawa] him is almost done, and he almost defeated.
It will have waxed and waned in him, what he is in the heart of him fighting what the contagion of Mashadar sought to make him, but now the battle inside him is almost done, and he almost defeated.
Soon, [baai] it does not kill him [saisho], he will spread that [aku] like a plague wherever he goes.
Soon, if it does not kill him first, he will spread that evil like a plague wherever he goes.
Just as one [kizu] from that [ha] is enough to infect and destroy, so, soon, a few [bun] with Mat will be just as deadly.”
Just as one scratch from that blade is enough to infect and destroy, so, soon, a few minutes with Mat will be just as deadly.”
Nynaeve’s [kao] had gone [shiroi].
Nynaeve’s face had gone white.
“can you do anything?”
“Can you do anything?”
she whispered.
she whispered.
“I [kibō] so.”
“I hope so.”
Moiraine sighed.
Moiraine sighed.
“For the [sake] of the [sekai], I [kibō] I am not too late.”
“For the sake of the world, I hope I am not too late.”
Her [te] delved into the [pōchi] at her [beruto] and came out with the [shiruku]-shrouded angreal .
Her hand delved into the pouch at her belt and came out with the silk-shrouded angreal .
“[kyūka] me.
“Leave me.
[taizai] together, and find somewhere you will not be seen, [shikashi] [kyūka] me.
Stay together, and find somewhere you will not be seen, but leave me.
I will do what I can for him.”
I will do what I can for him.”

[omoide] of Dreams
Remembrance of Dreams
It was a subdued [gurūpu] that Rand led back down the [kaidan].
It was a subdued group that Rand led back down the stairs.
None of them wanted to [hanashi] to him now, or to one another.
None of them wanted to talk to him now, or to one another.
He did not feel much like talking, either.
He did not feel much like talking, either.
The [nichi] was far enough across the [sora] to dim the [rimen] [fukinuke], [shikashi] the [ranpu] had not yet been lit.
The sun was far enough across the sky to dim the back stairwell, but the lamps had not yet been lit.
[nikkō] and [kage] striped the [kaidan].
Sunlight and shadow striped the stairs.
Perrin’s [kao] was as closed as the [tanin], [shikashi] where [shinpai] creased everyone else’s [mayu], his was smooth.
Perrin’s face was as closed as the others, but where worry creased everyone else’s brow, his was smooth.
Rand [shikō] the [hyōjō] Perrin wore was [jinin].
Rand thought the look Perrin wore was resignation.
He wondered why, and wanted to ask, [shikashi] whenever Perrin walked through a deeper [pacchi] of [kage], his [me] seemed to [atsumaru] in what little [hikari] there was, glowing softly like polished [kohaku shoku].
He wondered why, and wanted to ask, but whenever Perrin walked through a deeper patch of shadow, his eyes seemed to gather in what little light there was, glowing softly like polished amber.
Rand shivered and tried to concentrate on his [shūi], on the [kurumi] paneled [kabe] and the [ōku zai] [kaidan] [tesuri], on sturdy, [nichijō] [monogoto] He wiped his [te] on his [kōto] several [kai], [shikashi] each [jikan] [ase] sprang out on his [tenohira] anew.
Rand shivered and tried to concentrate on his surroundings, on the walnut paneled walls and the oak stair railing, on sturdy, everyday things He wiped his hands on his coat several times, but each time sweat sprang out on his palms anew.
It’ll all be all [migi], now.
It’ll all be all right, now.
We’re together again, and…
We’re together again, and…
[hikari], Mat.
Light, Mat.
He took them to the [toshokan] by the [rimen] [michi] that went by the [kicchin], avoiding the common [heya].
He took them to the library by the back way that went by the kitchens, avoiding the common room.
Not many [ryokō] used the [toshokan]; most of those who could read stayed at more elegant [ryokan] in the Inner [toshi].
Not many travelers used the library; most of those who could read stayed at more elegant inns in the Inner City.
[shujin] Gill kept it more for his own [tanoshimi] than for the [ichi nigiri] of [jōren kyaku] who wanted a [hon] now and then.
Master Gill kept it more for his own enjoyment than for the handful of patrons who wanted a book now and then.
Rand did not want to think why Moiraine wanted them to [kīpu] out of [kōkei], [shikashi] he kept remembering the Whitecloak [andā yakuin] saying he would be back, and Elaida’s [me] when she asked where he was staying.
Rand did not want to think why Moiraine wanted them to keep out of sight, but he kept remembering the Whitecloak under-officer saying he would be back, and Elaida’s eyes when she asked where he was staying.
Those were [riyū ga arimasu] enough, whatever Moiraine wanted.
Those were reasons enough, whatever Moiraine wanted.
He took five [suteppu] into the [toshokan] before he realized that everyone else had stopped, crowded together in the [toguchi], openmouthed and goggling.
He took five steps into the library before he realized that everyone else had stopped, crowded together in the doorway, openmouthed and goggling.
A brisk blaze crackled in the [danro], and Loial was sprawled on the long [sofa], [dokusho], a small [kuro] [neko] with [shiroi] [ashi] curled and [hanbun] asleep on his [i].
A brisk blaze crackled in the fireplace, and Loial was sprawled on the long couch, reading, a small black cat with white feet curled and half asleep on his stomach.
When they entered he closed the [hon] with a huge [yubi] [mākingu] his [basho] and gently set the [neko] on the [yuka], then stood to [bou] formally.
When they entered he closed the book with a huge finger marking his place and gently set the cat on the floor, then stood to bow formally.
Rand was so used to the Ogier that it took him a [bun] to realize that Loial was the [obujekuto] of the [tanin]’ stares.
Rand was so used to the Ogier that it took him a minute to realize that Loial was the object of the others’ stares.
“These are the [yūjin] I was waiting for, Loial,”
“These are the friends I was waiting for, Loial,”
he said.
he said.
“This is Nynaeve, the [chie] of my [mura].
“This is Nynaeve, the Wisdom of my village.
And Perrin.
And Perrin.
And this is Egwene.”
And this is Egwene.”
“Ah, yes,”
“Ah, yes,”
Loial boomed, “Egwene.
Loial boomed, “Egwene.
Rand has spoken of you a great [keiyaku].
Rand has spoken of you a great deal.
Yes.
Yes.
I am Loial.”
I am Loial.”
“He’s an Ogier,”
“He’s an Ogier,”
Rand explained, and watched their [odoroki] [henkō] in [shinsetsu].
Rand explained, and watched their amazement change in kind.
Even after Trollocs and Fades in the [furesshu], it was still astonishing to meet a [densetsu] walking and breathing.
Even after Trollocs and Fades in the flesh, it was still astonishing to meet a legend walking and breathing.
Remembering his own [saisho] [hannō] to Loial, he grinned ruefully.
Remembering his own first reaction to Loial, he grinned ruefully.
They were doing [yori yoi] than he had.
They were doing better than he had.
Loial took their gaping in his [sutoraido].
Loial took their gaping in his stride.
Rand supposed he hardly noticed it compared with a mob shouting “Trolloc.”
Rand supposed he hardly noticed it compared with a mob shouting “Trolloc.”
“And the Aes Sedai, Rand?”
“And the Aes Sedai, Rand?”
Loial asked.
Loial asked.
“Upstairs with Mat.”
“Upstairs with Mat.”
The Ogier raised one bushy [mayu] thoughtfully.
The Ogier raised one bushy eyebrow thoughtfully.
“Then he is [byōki].
“Then he is ill.
I suggest we all be seated.
I suggest we all be seated.
She will be joining us?
She will be joining us?
Yes.
Yes.
Then there’s nothing to do [shikashi] [taiki].”
Then there’s nothing to do but wait.”
