Seventeenth House of Westeros ♛ Dictated ♛ Of Losses

[songsandstories]

[She's been quiet for days now, contemplating what she knows and what she's been through here.]

I know what this place has taken from me, but for a short time, it took something else. I am almost envious of those that the castle has taken memories from. To forget, to have never experienced horrors, love, family even.

I know I should not be. I am lucky to have those I have here, but still for those days, it was like a weight was off my shoulders.

For what? You did not help. [Normally polite, she's being obstinate now.]

[3nterprising]

For offering my assistance? You're pretty rude, you know.

[songsandstories]

It is rude to assume I needed your assistance.

[3nterprising]

I've never heard anything like that before.

[songsandstories]

I am not helpless.

[3nterprising]

I never said you were. [The statement makes Faye a little less pugnacious and a little more understanding.]

Trust me, if I had a nickel for every time someone thought I was helpless...

[songsandstories]

It was kind of you to offer advice, but there is nothing to advise in my case.

[3nterprising]

Well, think of it as a pick-me-up instead.

[songsandstories]

I feel no better about my circumstances.

[3nterprising]

And who's fault is that?

[Blaming the victim. Mature, Faye.]

[songsandstories]

It is naught to do with blame. I know my circumstances, and I shan't be gladdened by it.

[3nterprising]

Maybe getting out of here would benefit you.

[songsandstories]

I am not sure which I would prefer.

[3nterprising]

Why's that?

[songsandstories]

It is not much safer there.

[3nterprising]

Oh. I see your dilemma.
