002 ♕ video

[ The camera comes on and here is Alayne Stone (yes, the same Alayne Stone that supposedly bled all over her bedroom floor when demons still ran amok on the Tranquility). To her credit, she's looking much better (much more healthy than she probably has any right to be). But that's the beside the point.

The camera comes on and here is Alayne Stone and she dips, giving the same perfunctory bow that she is known to give upon greeting. Though an effort has made to make herself look tidy, her brow is pinched with worry. Her words are quick and, often, she looks off camera at something out of sight.
]

My good Tranquility, [ she says in greeting, her clip not terse per say, but approaching it. ] I am looking for a man. I— I do not know his name, but should he see my face he will remember our acquaintance.

Twice now he has come to my aid. [ He avenged my death. He gave me a terrible knife. ] And— and I find myself in need of his aid once again. [ A pause and then, squaring her shoulders, she looks into the camera and says simply (as if it were directly to the man in question). ] It is a matter of wolves. Please— [ She is about to entreat him, but thinks better of it. (He does not seem the type to be swayed by begging.) ] —do not remain silent. I know you watch and listen.

I will eagerly await your word. [ A pause and then Alayne dips again, more awkwardly this time (she wishes she could say more). ] —thank you.

[Twice was two times too many, he knows. He shouldn't respond. But she's left it open for anyone to see, and she isn't the only one he's spoken to on this ship, nor the only one he's refused to give him name to. He doesn't want her opening up the floor for discussions on him.]

Think I already told you: I don't know about wolves.

[The wolves know, and she was right about that. Lady had recognised him for what he was, just like the hellhounds on Crematoria had. She'd still guarded, still bristled and paced, shown her teeth when he'd had his little talk with Alayne in the locker room, but he understood that better than he understood people.]

It's not Lady you're asking for aid.

[A long pause, silence. Her wolf and her brother missing, but she was more concerned about the beast than the man. Concerned enough to come asking for him.]

You want me... to go looking for your wolf.

[It isn't phrased like a question, but he leaves it hanging like one.]

A matter of wolves?

[the voice simply sounds curious]

[His voice sounds calm.]

I can't say that I have, but I will be sure to keep an eye out. Something that large wandering around shouldn't be all too hard to miss.

Is she a danger to others?
siring: (than to be with you)

Who could blame them for it? [Says the animal.]

But brothers-- is there a pack on the ship? [She may not be speaking of actual werewolves, but if there are any on the ship... what better cover for them?]

[ She's panting now, hair hanging down in her face, slick with sweat -- but she knows this girl and she knows her wolf, and she pulls herself together enough (it's not safe, can't stay human, have to keep moving, avoid the thread, kill the threat) to reply. ]

Lady?

[personal profile] tumbleweeds 2012-05-13 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The sound of her name shakes her out of it a little bit, and she visibly shudders before one hand runs through her hair, pulling some of it out of her face. Jaye. Coyote's master minder. That's her. Not the bear, not the wolf, not the tiger, and not the horse -- no matter how much she takes their forms. Right.

She just has to remember that. ]


Robb? [ She doesn't know a Robb, but that seems less important right now -- only important because Alayne said it, really. Jaye swallows, hand still in her hair, as if it's forgotten to move elsewhere. ] You should... stay where you are, if you can.

There's something in the ship. In the air-- I can smell it. Taste it.

[ It probably doesn't make sense to anyone else, but it makes sense to her, and it seems important to say it -- something in the air, something bad, something that makes her hackles raise. ]

I'll look. [ Just as she's looked for years, looking but never seeing, searching but never finding. Scott is as lost to her as Lady is to Alayne right now; more so, a wraith upon the wind, someone who won't answer his master's call because Scott has no master, just a sister who's been left behind. ] I'll try.

Does she get along with other wolves?

wolfdreamer: (glare - mother I killed the last snake)

ACTION I think? if that's cool?

[personal profile] wolfdreamer 2012-05-14 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[With Robb gone after Lady, their number is very small: Bran and Alayne, and only Summer to guard them. The added safety Grey Wind afforded them is gone; Robb's direwolf left with him without question.

Bran listens to his sister's request, and he knows that she is worried over so much--over her wolf, over their situation, over the danger that might yet encroach their safety, though Summer is a good bastion against such threats, and even now, Bran's direwolf paces before the door. But Alayne must worry over the dangers outside their safety, too, the dangers to Robb and Lord Baelish.

He searches his sister's face, after she has made her request. He does not know the man that she speaks of, and he will not listen when she speaks to him, should he answer. There are secrets, he thinks, and looks to Summer, still pacing that tense and nervous line. His direwolf protects them, so he cannot send Summer out to search for Lady or for Robb or for Grey Wind, but as he watches, he thinks.]


Sansa. [He says her name quietly--they are alone, so it is safe to say, but still he treats her name as a precious thing; he is careful with it now.] Sansa, there is another way to find Lady.
wolfdreamer: (dislike - we didn't sleep too late)

[Her fingers are good and strong, even if they are slender, and when they toy with the crude knife, Bran thinks of Arya. He worries for her, too, a sharp and pricking worry that stings very much like a knife--but he must not despair. He can help. That must be known.

There is strength in her words as much as in her fingers, and he squeezes her hand. He looks to her white raven, and he looks to Summer, and then he looks to his sister.]


I would not have to leave. [He told her of his wolf dreams, but this is more than dreams, and he must tell her now. He grips her hand.]

Sansa-- I could be Lady. I could bring her back.

Are you still in need of assistance?
theshabbiestofmen: that meets the road that goes to my house, and how the green grows there (Vaguely perturbed)

[personal profile] theshabbiestofmen 2012-05-19 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I was, for a few days. I'm far better now, though, thank you. Are you all right?

[In contrast to her even tone, Remus' voice is warm and worried.]

What troubles you, Alayne? Are you well?
