Seven forty-five in the morning, when Moiraine Sedai comes to Twin Peaks, and the very first thing Dale Cooper does is drive her to the Bookhouse, funny sound in his engine be damned. Once she's safely asleep in the back room, under the guard of one of the boys, Cooper calls the sheriff's station and tells Lucy that they'll need to get somebody else to make the donut run, and he needs to see Harry, immediately.

Hours pass. Cooper conferences, explains what he knows, tells Harry and Hawk what they'll need.

The small bed is behind a wall dividing the back room into two sections. Cooper sits on the other side of that wall with a book and a cup of coffee to hand. He's begun to get his concentration back; he hasn't had to restart a chapter in several hours.

She nods.

"It is good to know."
blue_ajah: (shadowed serene)

This time, her fleeting smile is unquestionably amused.

"Enough, perhaps, for now."

Moiraine shakes her head.

"Let it suffice, Dale, please. I do not think I could manage much more, at present."

"I would," she replies.


"Thank you."

There is a shade of meaning in her tone, somehow, encompassing things beyond tea alone.

"Even so," the Aes Sedai agrees, softly. "Even so."

There is only one cup, but she has already observed that he has coffee, which remains near to hand.

Moiraine inclines her head in acknowledgment and takes up the teapot with accustomed skill.

Her hands do not shake, as she pours, nor do they tremble beyond a slight quiver. It is progress, of a sort.

She follows his glance, spotting the suitcase nearby.

"Is it so?" Moiraine murmurs. "Very well; I shall see what may be found, then." Setting her teacup aside for the moment, she moves to rise.

"If you would excuse me, for a moment or two."

She removes the suitcase to the other side of the room, out of sight.

Some minutes later, she returns. There is a flicker of uncertainty in her dark eyes as she pauses at the edge of the wall.

"Would you say that this is suitable?"

Out of the variety of available options, the Aes Sedai has selected a long denim skirt and a fitted blue plaid flannel shirt.

"Something of the sort, yes."

Moiraine hesitates, then indicates her kesiera with a gesture and looks a question at him.
blue_ajah: (downcast glance with falling hair)

There is no mistaking it; a flash of relief is clear before she nods and glances away, running one hand over the side seam of her skirt as if to smooth it.

"That is something with which I can cope."
blue_ajah: (sidewise observant)

Moiraine nods a second time, then returns her gaze to him.

"What is there that I should know to expect? You have told Harry, obviously..."

She tilts her head slightly, considering.

"It depends, perhaps, on what that way is."
blue_ajah: (downcast glance with falling hair)

[personal profile] blue_ajah 2008-12-14 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
"I would; you may be certain of that."

A brief pause.

"But I shall not deny that the luxury of time and quiet in order to become accustomed to ... things ... would be a great gift."
