[Backdated to yesterday]

[Friends from Aselia (aka not Yuan)]

[He promised Korra he would ask people to come, so here we go]

Yo. Some cute girl named Korra wants to go up to the mountains on Saturday to train, so she doesn't terrify ducks or something with her powers. So I'll be gone all day since it's a few hours ride.

If any of you wanna tag along or whatever, I won't stop you. Korra sounded excited about the snow up there, so there's that.

[....What he never said he'd be GOOD at it]

[/Filter]

[Zelos meanwhile is chilling under a tree near the duckpond, since the roof seemed lame today. He's got his hands behind his head as he rests again the tree, his legs stretched out in front of him. Mostly he seems to be watching things around him, still deciding whether or not he's glad to be back. The ducks are doing their own thing in the pond, though they seem to be evading him, even going out their way to do so and if one steps near it will even hiss at him. Because hey, they still remember him as the dude the tore up the place sparring with Korra.]

[Oh well]

[He'll ruffle her hair a little. He wishes he could speak on Cat's behalf. He's almost certain she would accept Arya still. But....he can never be certain 100% ]

Don't worry, no matter what, you're still my little wolf.

[persequor]

[ She smiles. ]

My brother's called that. Not little. He's the Young Wolf.

[wilder]

Oh yeah? Which brother was that?

[persequor]

Robb. Our men called him that after they named him king.

[wilder]

[he nods]

Then you're a family of wolves.

[persequor]

We always have been. The direwolf is the sigil of our House.

[wilder]

Huh.

Does anyone else in your family have a direwolf?

[persequor]

[ Following Nymeria under the shade, she sits on the ground. ]

Jon has Ghost. I don't know what happened to my brothers' wolves. Lady died.

[wilder]

[he nods as he follows and sits down, willing his wings away]

Were your siblings as close to their wolves as you are to Nymeria?

[persequor]

Yes.

[wilder]

Hm.

That could be it...

[persequor]

What could?

[wilder]

One more question, darling- is your family line really old? Like...long enough where history gets fuzzy about it?

[persequor]

Bran the Builder founded House Stark eight thousand years ago. [ Is that long enough? ] Why?

[wilder]

[He nods- definitely old enough]

It's possible, whatever abilities you do have? They run in your family- that's how you got it.

[persequor]

There's no magic in my line.

[ Daddy did not have fairy wings, I promise you. ]

[wilder]

[Yeah maybe he wouldn't be dead if he did]

Sigils or crests mean something important to families, darling. Sure, some are just 'cause the makers of the sigil really liked the look of it - but for others there's much more significance than that. My House's crest is a symbol that helps guide Chosens on a Journey that some would take. Daenerys's family crest is a dragon, which you can probably guess why.

It's possible, with a line as old as yours, your ancestors held a very special connection to direwolves - like you and Nymeria do. So they made the direwolf their sigil because of that. Buuut that special connection was forgotten about over the years after direwolves became much rarer in your region.

But then? Nymeria's mother came down from the other side of the Wall and you and your siblings got the pups, so it's showing itself again.

[persequor]

House Targaryen is a three-headed dragon representing Aegon the Conqueror and his two sister-wives. [ Plus dragons. Maybe. She'll get to the rest of it, but she had to clarify that first. ]

[wilder]

Sure. And the dragons.

[persequor]

Clearly.

[wilder]

[a sigh] My point still stands.

[persequor]

Your point is stupid.

[wilder]

Okay then maybe your parents found you all in the wilderness when you were babies and never said anything...[CLEARLY TEASING]

[persequor]

[ Arya punches him in the arm. Only Jon was found in the wilderness tyvm. ]

[wilder]

Owww! [Rubs his arm] Just a guess!
