[Hi Paradisa, have the sound of a pen tapping against the journal]

[Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap-]

[Finally the sound stops and there's a melodramatic defeatist groan]

Ugh! Fine I give up!

Hey Paradisa! How are you all?

Tell me, what's a good way to kill a lot of time without going crazy? And please, nothing about reading, training or playing in the snow.

Thank you! ♥

Good! So I'll see you then!

Zelos

[wolfchild]

[ A break while she reads over the other comments. ]

Do you know how to play cyvasse?

Arya

[wilder]

Cyvasse?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

[ Think chess. Plus stratego. Plus fuck me this game changes every time it's played I am not smart enough for this. ]

It's a game. The Dornishmen played it. I think you'd like it.

Arya

[wilder]

Oh yeah? Think you could teach me?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

If you're quick enough.

Arya

[wilder]

Me? Please I'm quick as a hawk!

Zelos

[wolfchild]

Don't insult the hawks.

Arya

[wilder]

Ouch..! Aryaaaaaaaa!

Zelos

[wolfchild]

Zelooooos.


That's fun to say, really. Zeeeeelooooos. ZeeeEElooooooos...!

Arya

[wilder]

[Okay he'll laugh some]

Why else would I do it?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

I don't know, Zulus Wuldur. [ Now she's just mispronouncing because she can. ] Because you like to annoy people.





Zuluuuuuuuuuuus.

Arya

[wilder]

Zulus? That's a new one.

And please! I'm not annoying at all!

Zelos

[wolfchild]

It's fun to say! You try it!

[ You gotta really put emphasis behind it, dude. Gotta pout and everything while you say it. ]

Arya

[wilder]

[a snort, then he'll try]

Zuuuluuuuuus

Zelos

[wolfchild]

[ She splutters into her hands. ]

Arya

[wilder]

[a small chuckle]

Zuuuuluuuuuuuus!

Zelos

[wolfchild]

You're silly.

Arya

[wilder]

I don't see anything wrong with that!

Zelos

[wolfchild]

You wouldn't. You've really never seen a glass garden before?

Arya

[wilder]

A glass garden?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

That's what we call it. There's one at Winterfell. The walls and roof are all glass and plants grow even in the middle of winter. That's where we kept our winter roses.

Arya

[wilder]

Huh.

Nope, never seen one. Meltokio only gets snow every few years and it never lasts that long, so growing crops isn't a problem.

Zelos

[wolfchild]

There ought be one here. It's pretty. And it's always warm. Are you at the house or the castle?

Arya

[wilder]

There is?

Uh, I'm at the house.
