Twenty-Fifth House of Westeros ♛ Dictated

[songsandstories]

Age is a thing to ponder, of what lies waiting for us back home. [She thinks of the Vale, and what is to become of Alayne Stone. Sansa Stark must be dead, she tells herself.]

Does the castle truly know what is to be if some did not age while others did? [Was it an omen?] I know little of magic, as its use has long since died where I am from. Perhaps this is but another trick. None can foretell the future.

I should have liked to grown old, though I have not an idea of what my father's wishes. [She is simply relieved to be away and free of Lannisters, let alone planning for what is to come. No doubt Petyr has something planned. She briefly thinks of Winterfell, the promise he once made.]

I have safety while Westeros is still torn. The castle would like me to believe that isn't so, I presume.

Thousands? Now that is some time...

Dictated

[songsandstories]

Indeed. It is said that they have protected the realm ever since. I was once told stories of their bravery. [And she knows her brother Jon has it all the same.]

Dictated

[staggeringego]

Vague stories about a bunch of guys being brave or actual ones with characters and the like?

Dictated

[songsandstories]

Many of them have names, but stories of the Night's Watch interested-- others. [Her brothers, Bran and Jon.] I liked the stories with brave men and ladies who became princesses.

Dictated

[staggeringego]

Ah, the classics then?

Dictated

[songsandstories]

I was fond of them as a child.

Dictated

[staggeringego]

And what are you fond of these days?

Dictated

[songsandstories]

I do needlework most often. Though I did enjoy the ride on your broom. [It seems so strange to say that.]

Dictated

[staggeringego]

[ Needlework? That doesn't sound exciting to him. The other thing, however... ]

Well, if you're interested in another one I'd be glad to take you sometime.

Dictated

[songsandstories]

I would like that. It is kind of you to offer.

Dictated

[staggeringego]

Just name a time and I'll have everything ready for you.

Dictated

[songsandstories]

Sometime soon. When you aren't busy.

Dictated

[staggeringego]

If there's one thing I've got loads of here, it's free time.

Dictated

[songsandstories]

Then we shall have to change this.

Dictated

[staggeringego]

How about we start making that change right now?

Dictated

[songsandstories]

If you are not otherwise engaged.

Dictated

[staggeringego]

I can't say I am.

Dictated

[songsandstories]

Where shall I meet you?

Dictated

[staggeringego]

How about the lobby? We'll go from there.

Dictated

[songsandstories]

I shall be there shortly.

Dictated

[staggeringego]

As will I. See you soon, Alayne.

action?

[songsandstories]

[She arrives shortly to the lobby, looking for the familiar boy with glasses.]

action!

[staggeringego]

[ He's standing near the door and gives her a small smirk and a wave when he sees her. ]

[songsandstories]

[She bows when she sees him before moving closer.]

Good day, James.

[staggeringego]

[ Grinning wider at the bow and straightens up snatching up the broom he had set against the wall near him. ]

Good day. I see you're looking as lovely as ever.
