One day in Camelyn


Recommended Posts

As we have established Moiraine and Elayne have previous contact. Being that before the series started our little princess (:runcry:) was a pretty bird in a gilded cage, it goes without saying that this contact would have occurred at her mother's palace. The question then is: how do you think Elaida behaved with Moiraine on her turf? Despite Moiraine's wishes it really wouldn't have been possible to come close to Elayne AND avoid Elaida.

B) Hahahaha, no bento image for you!

 

:runcry:

 

:D I imagine very strained greetings, with fake smiles, and false concern over hard travels. Elaida probably tried to gleam info on what Moiraine was up to, but on the other hand Elaida has a bad habit of being very self-centered so probably mostly cared about getting some jabs in.

 

Moiraine probably got in the better jabs, though. :P

 

And Elayne was unaware of any tension. :wow:

...Is it a stretch to imagine that Moiraine and Elaida were all frosty-faced and hot-eyed animosity toward each other in public but secretly had a night of rough, angry sex after so many years apart? With possible Morgase menage a trois? :runcry:

Are you Laura's long lost sister?

That depends. Judging from her fics, Laura has some strange ideas on what "sisterhood" entails... :wow:

Eh?

 

And I wrote a fanfic on this very subject. :D Elaida and Moiraine are do the cool Aes Sedai stand-off, subtle underhand bitchery and then Morgase swoops Elaida away before she can cause any more damage.

 

...then Moiraine goes off and has sex with Elayne.

 

Hee.

What is sisterhood to you? :runcry:

 

I wonder if it would have gone beyond vague intimidation with Elayne being none the wiser. After all, Morgase can't exactly interfere in Aes Sedai business. Elaida could have set something up to give Moiraine trouble while she was there, but she couldn't out-scheme Moiraine. Elaida wouldn't plot anything hardcore. Seeing each other for the first time again, after the initial feeling each other out stuff, might just make Elaida want to test Moiraine to see how weak Elaida would still think she was.

Yeah, I agree with Kaitlin, I can totally see them testing each other, and I can imagine arrogant Elaida would automatically assume she has the upper hand since it's her turf and she has the secret knowledge (as she believes) from her Foretelling that her hold on Elayne will ensure victory at Arma Ge'ddon, so that's got to set her up a bit in her mind.

 

Also, I've always wondered about that punishment Moiraine knows she will eventually face in NS for disobeying the then-Amyrlin by leaving the city to escape them putting her on the Sun Throne. She said it could be years before it was safe for her to return to Tar Valon, so depending on the timeline, maybe Momo was in Caemlyn not too long after receiving her punishment, because I can totally imagine Elaida rubbing it in! ...Although, wait, now that I think about it, the timing is probably way off for that... =/

 

I'm curious (though I have the niggling feeling this has been asked already); how old would Elayne (:runcry:) have been when Momo visited? I don't think you can tell a girl's channeling potential strength before she hits puberty, or maybe not even until she's close to beginning to channel, so for Moiraine to know Elayne's potential she would've had to have seen her within, like, the last 5 years before the series began? Hell, maybe she even stopped over in Caemlyn on her way to Baerlon and the Two Rivers.

I'm curious where the idea Laura wrote incest-sister fic came from. :runcry:

 

It isn't impossible Moiraine has visited more than once, although the presence of Elaida would limit the amount, of course. I couldn't see it happening more than two, three times, mind.

 

I think Moiraine's lucked out so far in getting punished for misbehaving.

 

Elaida...I think how Elaida would interact with Moiraine would also depend on if Siuan had been raised to Amyrlin at the time of her visit. Obviously for her most recent visit, where she would have sensed Elayne, Siuan would have been on the Seat. I'm not sure even Elayne is dense enough to miss the tension in that room.
