[ Queen Elizabeth ]
Are you busy, Your Grace?

[ She had opted for formality sitting on the castle steps as she was. Leaving the journal open in her lap, she twists her bracelet around her wrist. She counts each glass piece out under her breath. Nymeria pokes her nose at it. Arya pushes her away by the snout. ]

Mine. Can you say "mine"? Because it is mine.

Comments

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia steps toward the girl quietly and takes a seat beside her, keeping a polite distance. She doesn't say anything for a minute, as if making sure she is welcome. ]

And why not?

[persequor]

Why not what?

[ She looks different. For the moment, Arya chooses not to comment on it. ]

[heloise]

You can claim it as yours so long as you could defend it.

[persequor]

I can defend it fine. No one is taking it from me.

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia looks to the direwolf and back at the bracelet. ]

Was it a gift?

[protosshaze]

What is it?

[persequor]

What's what?

[protosshaze]

The thing that's yours.

[persequor]

[ She has half a mind to snap that it's not any of her business, but she's already told Katniss over the journal. Not like it's a secret. ]

My bracelet.

[protosshaze]

It must be very pretty.

Arya Stark

[commandsthewind]

No, little knight. I'm free enough at the moment.

Queen Elizabeth

[persequor]

Would you like to go for a ride? It will be winter soon and it'll be too cold then.

Arya Stark

[commandsthewind]

I would love too. I can meet you down at the stables shortly?

Queen Elizabeth

[persequor]

I shall be there!

Arya Stark

[commandsthewind]

[However much later, Elizabeth is down in the stables, her horse prepared, waiting for Arya.]

Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss is putting arrows through targets, and she only glances over because she knows the writing. So she aims, and as she does so, she speaks.]

What's "yours"? Besides your health.

Dictated

[persequor]

[ She's surprised for a moment before recalling the journals will pick up everything—and that part wasn't filtered. ]

My bracelet. Nymeria is trying to take it.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Ah-hah. I'd be careful then. If the Castle knows you like it, it might try to take it. It took my pin, after all.

Dictated

[persequor]

Was that your loss?

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Yes ... yes it was.

[molotov]

[Molotov passes by, pausing to arch her brow.]

Taunting a wolf for fun?

[persequor]

Nymeria is a direwolf, not a wolf, and I'm not taunting her, I am telling her my things are not toys. Go chew a chair leg, leave me alone.

[ Another shove and instead of leaving Nymeria decides to plop down in Arya's lap. This might have been more comfortable for Arya were Nymeria still the size of a small dog instead of bigger than a human child. Arya exhales in exasperation. ]

You are heavy, you know that? [ Nymeria huffs. She don't care, lap is nice. ] Stupid wolf.

[molotov]

Why would you need to tell her that a bracelet is not a toy? Do you think she's going to bite your wrist off to get it?

[Molotov barely seems to notice how large the wolf is, but then again, she spends most of her days cuddled up with bears.]

[persequor]

Nymeria would never hurt me. She's just a pup still. She likes to take things and chew on them. Except she still doesn't know how strong she is so she usually destroys them. She loves ripping the journal apart.

[molotov]

Then perhaps you should train her better. I have a bear cub, and he has never destroyed anything.
