moiraine & lan — find a way

But you serve them. It is they who serve the world. And what does that make you? Proud. I've run out of patience... I've lost too much time already. ...and time. And tired. Especially Lan. How he keeps up with Moiraine! How about you two? You've never told us the story of how you met... I'd been following him on the road all day... They [the horses] need their strength! So do you. He kept throwing glances back at me... He crossed the ten yards... ...grabbed me by the scruff of the neck... Rest.

And tomorrow we'll figure out where to find a Sister who can heal you. ...and tossed me in the water. You are almost as stubborn as she is. Don't you dare smile at me as if everything is fine! Almost... Warders are not supposed to outlive their Aes Sedai. 'Cause I knew that when the time came, you'd be able to survive on your own. Love's usually a bad idea. Still, we allow it to happen, or... ...this life would be intolerable. Well, I can tolerate a lot. No bond is closer than an Aes Sedai and,

uh her Warder. Not husbands and wives, not parents and children. I've heard about the bond between an Aes Sedai and her Warder, that you feel what she feels. Was it hard? What is it? This saddle is home. This cloak. To leave him behind? This brooding man at my side! An Aes Sedai cannot lie. So tell me the truth! We were never equals. The only reason that I was able to say that you're not my equal is that I've known one thing to be true since the first day we met! And I can't protect you if I can

't feel you. You're right. Well, that's a first. I feel I've taken everything from you... It's alright! You have taken nothing! I'm here! Before you, I had nothing to live for - Let me back in. - Let me back in. and nothing to die for. You have given me both. And now... ...you have always been my better. ...you finally belong. To her. She doesn't own me. Doesn't she?
