Fifth House of Westeros ♛ Written/ Open Action ♛ Filter to Starks/ Snow

[songsandstories]

[Alayne is still learning about this place, and with the journals bursting with information about the mirrored place, she does what she knows and tries to figure this out. Talking to people can only do so much. Perhaps there's a history of this.]

[Lady Stark, King Robb of the North, Jon Snow of the Night's Watch, and Arya, may she read this.]

I know Arya is trapped in the land beyond. Are the rest of you safe or on this side, the side of the castle?

Has there been any clues to the return of them?

[Jon Snow of the Night's Watch]

[There aren't any words. Surely he's been made aware of her presence by now, either by Cat or Robb himself. She tries to pen something, but the pages just absorb ink.]

Hello. [It was seen briefly, but eventually scratched out. And she gives up.]

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

I'm here still, but I have not heard word of the others.

Nor have I heard anything about their return. [He's trying hard not to be too worried just yet.]

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

I am glad you are well. Have you heard from Arya?

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

And I you. No, I haven't. But I'm sure she will be fine. She's tough.

Alayne Stone

[songsandstories]

I wrote to her. She found some book to write back. She is safe. They all are. They are trying to get back.

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

That's reassuring news. At least we know she's alright.

Alayne Stone

[songsandstories]

And fighting to get back. Arya is still very much Arya.

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

Yes, she is. [Which relieves him greatly. It was more than he could say about her after all.]

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

She said not to go after her. She did not want anyone else to get trapped there.

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

How would we go after her? I'm not even sure where we would start.

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

I would not know. This place and it's ways are still new to me, but I have been told that this place changes often.

They are also offering to have an exploratory journey of the placed beyond soon.

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

The place beyond. That sounds properly ominous. The question is if we'd have anything to gain by joining that quest.

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

Learning more of this place if it is to be our new homes, more of the allies and opponents.

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

I meant we can't know that going to this place beyond will tell us anything we don't already know. I've heard this place is infamous for giving false leads.

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

Finding any answers is better than none.

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

Will you be going?

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

I would like to.

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

Perhaps I'll join you. You're right, the possibility of answers is too important to ignore.

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

[He doesn't know it, but it makes her smile.]

I was thinking of getting an apartment out of the castle. I don't trust it, Robb. [The idea of wishes and that any one of their enemies can appear is unsettling.]

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

[That gives him pause. Though he can't disagree with her. He can't help but find the castle a bit off putting himself.]

Neither do I. But...have you spoken to mother about it?

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

I do not stay with her and Arya. [But she also didn't want to live alone.]

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

That wasn't what I meant. Surely you weren't thinking of leaving the castle without telling her?

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

No. I just haven't thought of a way of telling her. I know she would like us all close.

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

And what about you? What would you like?

Robb Stark

[songsandstories]

I would like to stay in one of the apartments.

Alayne Stone

[young_wolf]

Would you like help looking for one suitable?
