Siuan Sanche took a deep sigh, taking a peak at Leane. The Hall of the Tower was a bit chilly, but she knew the meeting would be brief. Queen Morgase has written her a letter with a special request and Siuan was more than happy to return the answer as quick as possible. She has dismissed the Ajah's, only Leane, as if she was a bonded Warder, stood closely to her. Her blue attire shining under the light was like the sea water, while the golden one of the Amyrling Seat was the sun that illuminated the water.
“Let her in.”
Leane trotted twice before she announced
“Morgase Trakand, Queen of Andor, Defender of the Realm, High Seat of House Trakand.”
The door opened and there she went. Queen Morgase, brave as a lion. Her red hair, tightly held by her low bun, was holding her golden crown. She was wearing the same red and white dress when she met, but without the huge white collar. Leane turned to Morgase:
"Before you stands the Amyrlin Seat, Watcher of the Seals, the Flame of Tar Valon, the Light in the darkness. Let her words be heard."
“I see you've dismissed the others, Mother.” Morgase’s voice echoed through the hall, stern and sharp like a lion's teeth.
“There's no reason for them to be here. Knowing what you came for or rather for who.” Siuan was trying so hard not to run to her chambers and shove the woman into the Queen's hands. But rules are rules and they have to be followed.
“Please follow me.” Sanche stood up and led, followed by the two women.

“Your Majesty, I was quite surprised to have read your letter. No other ruler was so eager to take back one of my daughters, especially this soon.”
“Her presence was dearly missed in the court and since Elayne was determined to become an Aes Sedai, I had no other choice, but to support her and take my advisor back. Andor needs her as much as I do.” Morgase gave a warm smile, clasping her hands in front of her. She turned slightly to Siuan, who was nodding and thinking. Leane following behind like a guard dog. She felt the excitement in Siuan's body as much as a Warder felt his Aes Sedai.
“It's true. An Aes Sedai is always needed. But don't be surprised by Elaida's state when you see her. She was as fussy as mandarinfish and she refused much of our food, except the strawberries from your garden.”
Once they reached the door, it opened and a scared accepted almost bumped into Siuan and Morgase.
“Mother.”she bowed and immediately ran on the opposite end. Siuan and Morgase looked at each other, wondering what might have happened, but when they saw the flying plate they understood. Sanche was braver than both and knocked on the door, seeing Elaida pacing like a nervous dog.
“Someone is here to take you, Elaida. Pack your bags, you're going home.”
Elaida turned around, face of an angry face softening when Morgase slid inside and extended her hands to hug her.
“I'll leave you two alone. I should see how accepted was feeling.”
Leane and Siuan left the two women to deal with each other.
“They're as crazy as a peacock bass and a jaguar cichlid.”
Leane chuckled as she followed.

Elaida moaned slightly when Morgase pulled away and looked deeply in her eyes before kissing her deep. How much she needed to feel her wife's lips on her again. It was like a torture being away. Elaida almost chuckled when Morgase began drowning her in kisses all over her face and then finishing off with her lips.
“I've missed you terribly.” the redhead said once pulling again, eyes lingering all over Elaida's own hands and body.
“I've missed you too. But what exactly are you doing here? Is Elayne going back to Andor?” Elaida's deep, husky voice almost made Morgase tear up.
“Not Elayne. You. I want you back home, back in my court and back close to me. Andor is not the same without you. Nor my life.”
“But your Majesty…”Elaida tried to protest, but was sushed by her lover.
“I won't take “no” for an answer this time. I need you and I need you to be home with me. I need to smell roses when I wake up and go to sleep and that won't happen if you're here.
Morgase never let go of Elaida's hands. Her own eyes softened once she saw how the Queen was pleading. She won't ever admit, but she herself missed those red locks on her pillow and the smell of bravery around her.
“If that's what you wish, Your Majesty, I'll obey.”
