Hello! I don't know if you remember me... um, but we talked for a little bit while you were picking flowers. I was wondering if you were able to give them to your friend?



I know it's been a long time since we last spoke... but I never really thanked you for helping me. I'm sorry it's taken me so long, but wanted to say- thank you.


[Colette lets out a happy sigh, and leans back against a tree. With such a beautiful spring day, she's packed a tiny fruit-based picnic lunch, found a tree to sit under, and is enjoying the lovely day. After eating a little bit she pulls the journal over, and opens it to a new page]

I'm sorry if this is a very strange question... but I was wondering, does anyone pray here? [after all, Father Abel opened a church... there must be some people who needed a place to pray]

Oh, but I also know it's a really personal question! If it's something that you wouldn't want to talk about, that's okay too... I was just curious.

[she laughs sheepishly as she continues to eat her food. She'll fall silent and wait for someone to reply... Feel free to either reply over the journal, of have your character pass by in person :3]

Wow, you're really dedicated. [*^*]

What kind of things do you pray for?

[wintercat]

My children, for the most part. [Also vengeance justice, but admitting that tends to get her funny looks.]

[selfless]

[a-aw...] You're a mother?

[wintercat]

I have three sons and two daughters. My youngest girl is here with me.

[selfless]

That's wonderful! She's very lucky to have her mother here with her.

[wintercat]

I am very lucky to have her. [Seriously. Catelyn functions best when given something besides her own troubles to focus on. Having Arya to worry about has certainly helped her.]

Do you pray?

[selfless]

Mm hm, every day.

[wintercat]

Then I am no more dedicated than you.

[selfless]

[hehe :') such a sweetheart]

So we're similar! It's always nice to make a friend that way.

Oh God. this is so hard to write while Catelyn is breaking in another thread

[wintercat]

[A friend. It's a strange word to hear these days.]

It is.

oh no, Catelyn :'(

[selfless]

[happyyyyyyyyy, anyway... there's a slight pause before she asks]

What Gods take care of your world?

[wintercat]

That depends on who you ask. I keep the Seven, but my husband held to the Old Gods of North. And on the Iron Islands, they still held to their Drowned God.

[selfless]

[oh... hm]

So there are many different Gods that different people honor?

[wintercat]

There are. Is there only one religion in your world?

[selfless]

Yes, and in that religion there's only one Goddess that everyone follows.

[wintercat]

Strange. [Mostly that there are so few differences in opinion. Look, you couldn't get everyone in Westeros to agree that water is wet.]

[selfless]

[she makes an 'mm' noise!]

It's amazing that people come from such different worlds... but it's wonderful to think that there's so many interesting places out there.

[wintercat]

I would never have dreamed it possible.

[selfless]

[hehe] This place can make really amazing things happen.. can't it?

[wintercat]

[Considering that she's had reunions here that wouldn't be possible in her own world?]

It can. That is one thing to be grateful for, I suppose.

[selfless]

Well... I hope more exciting things happen to you here!

Oh, and I meant the good kind of exciting, not the kind that's scary .

[wintercat]

[She actually laughs at that!] It would be a refreshing change.

[selfless]

Oh... I'm sorry, have a lot of difficult things happened to you while you've been here?

[wintercat]

No more than in my own home. [Which is a lot. But that's beside the point. She doesn't want pity.]

But I have seen others suffer here.
