#if we see this next season its gonna kill me

Thinking about Moiraine absently reaching for the power to do totally ordinary things because it’s just so unconscious and instinctive and she honestly just forgets that she can’t. 

Trying to light a candle, or clear up some spilled wine, or ease the pain from a bruise Lan got while training. Not even thinking about it. Making the appropriate channeling gesture and then immediately turning away to move onto the next thing.

Each time it takes about a second before she realises that the candle is still dark, the wine is still spilled, and Lan has just closed his eyes with a wince at what she’s tried, and failed, to do.

So over and over again she keeps getting  hit with the awful reminder that….she can’t.
