[ Let's pretend this is at a more sunlit hour tomorrow. Yep. ]

[ Filtered away from Catelyn Stark and Alayne Stone and any who would tell them. ]

Who'd like to go to the woods tomorrow? It's a long walk. If you're the loud, complaining sort, you can stay behind.

You know saying that only invites the boars and whiners.

[persequor]

I've ways to weed them out. [ One way actually, but it's all she needs. It's called "Nymeria." ]

[hedonic]

Oh my, scary!

[ She's teasing, though it's only mildly condescending. Echidna is always happy to meet little girls who know how to handle themselves. But who cares? ]

Still, perhaps I'll come along anyway. I've even more ways to weed them out.

[persequor]

Fine.

You were in that...detention? too. Weren't you.

/ASSUMES THIS IS DICTATED ANYWAY?!

[hedonic]

No no, dearest, could it be? Hmmm, you sound a bit different.

[persequor]

I'm my age again.

[hedonic]

Your age?

[persequor]

I was a bit older that day.

[hedonic]

[ Uh oh... ]

How much older?

[persequor]

I think it was three years. I didn't really care to remember.

[hedonic]

Which makes you...

[ Oh doing maths! And now she's kind of laughing because wow castle. That was some cheating. ]

Close enough to being a lady, at any rate! But now I'm so sad, you never did show me yours.

[persequor]

Nor will I. And I'm not a lady.

[hedonic]

How cold. Perhaps you'll make it up to me another way.

[ Whether you like it or not! Because she likes all reactions, so hissy fits are just as gratifying. ]

No? What would you call yourself?

[persequor]

My name is Arya.

[hedonic]

[ Oh how coy. But she'll ignore age or gender issues for now. They're a little too easy and always more fun to prod at in person, anyway. ]

And I'm Echidna. [ A pause, and there's a hissing sound. ] It seems Kenta remembers you, too.

[persequor]

Will it come too?

[hedonic]

Of course he will. He's one of the weed killers.

[ A chuckle! Maybe she's just joooking. ]

[persequor]

[ Arya can't judge, she's Miss I-have-a-wild-animal-with-penchant-for-human-meat-for-a-pet. ]

He ought to do well.

[hedonic]

Most people do have an aversion to snakes. I never understood it myself. They're so cuddly~

[persequor]

Most people have an aversion to their own shadow. Of course they'll be frightened by snakes. That or be too stupid to realize you shouldn't just be petting every animal you come across.

[hedonic]

How crass.

[ But not untrue. She's just not used to a child being that blunt. Sure, Irma did gain quite the attitude over the years, but that was probably Echidna's fault. ]

But you're always welcome to pet Kenta.

[not_mafia]

Er... are you headed somewhere in particular?

[the_effect_she_has]

Sounds like a plan. Can I get in a little hunting?

[persequor]

No.

[persequor]

Definitely.
