[ Mother ]
We're on a boat! We're sailing on a river that's hanging over the forest. It looks like a bridge except filled with water.

[ Sansa ]
Mother has the coin I made. To get a place for us. It's not a lot, but it's all I've got. Have you found somewhere yet?

[ Sam ]
I'm on the expedition. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't really plan on coming.

...Do I still have a job?

[there's a soft chuckle at that, but it's amused, not condescending. He knows how things can happen in the castle.]

Yeah, you're fine. I'll see you when you get back.

[a beat]

Find anything interesting?

Sam }

[persequor]

[ You have no idea how relieved she is to hear that. ]

Not really. [ Pause. ] I have a unicorn.

[his voice when he responds is the voice of the petulant younger brother who knows he's right, even when his brother won't believe it.]

I knew they really existed.

Sam }

[persequor]

[ She laughs. ]

You can see him when I return. I've named him Aemon.

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

Are you having fun out there?

sam }

[persequor]

Yes.

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

Good.

[because that was really all that mattered.]

Sam }

[persequor]

Has anything happened at the castle?

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

Nothing special. Some idiot was setting some stuff on fire, but nothing special.

Sam }

[persequor]

Why?

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

He wanted attention.

[Sam doesn't exactly have the highest opinion of Mark.]

sam }

[persequor]

That's stupid. He could have hurt someone.

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

I couldn't agree more.

sam }

[persequor]

Can't anything be done?

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

I don't know. This kid is on the radio all the time.

Sam }

[persequor]

The what?

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

[a beat]

It's a ... a box? People use them to communicate over long distances.

Sam }

[persequor]

Dont we have these journals for that?

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

Yeah, but back where I'm from, the journals don't exist.

sam }

[persequor]

How do they work? Is it magic too?

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

They work on something called electricity. Not quite magic.

sam }

[persequor]

Oh. That.

arya }

[imnot_likeyou]

Yeah. That.

Arya

[wintercat]

[That enthusiasm makes her feel better.]

I have never heard of such a thing. [This is your invitation to tell her more, Arya.]

Mother

[persequor]

It was a normal river first. Then it started rising higher and higher. Now it's above even the trees. I went swimming in it with Zelos. [ And punched Once-ler spectacularly after getting back on the boat. ]

Arya forever because I am lazy

[wintercat]

[That's her girl! And the mention of Zelos also helps satisfy her that Arya is being watched.]

What else have you seen? You must keep track so you can tell us all. You will have more tales than a soldier when you return.

No. I reject your lazy.

[persequor]

I'll remember everything.

Meanie.

[wintercat]

You are enjoying yourself?

I love you too :3

[persequor]

Yes. I'm going to find something to bring back for you. [ I solemnly swear it won't be another animal. ]

:3

[wintercat]

Do not go to too much trouble. [Translation: Don't bring back anything that can kill you.]

[persequor]

[ But Brian…! ]

I won't.
