[ 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.

[ Stay there, stay safe, let her protect you the way she couldn't protect her brother. ]
Then I shouldn't have a problem. I'll look for them.

He will have your throat, 'fore you know it.

Robb -- what does he look like, in case he and his wolf have been separated?
video;
Auburn curls and eyes, a piercing blue. He has not a beard, but scruff enough to scrape, and— [ It tickles when he kisses me on the forehead, but again that is a secret and will not help Jaye in any case. ] —and he has a nose, much like mine.
[ It's a dangerous clue to share. Much like mine. But better to have him be found than left to whatever treachery lies in the bowels of the ship. ]

I'll look for him. Stay where you are. Stay safe.
[ As she goes to click her device off, Alayne might notice that her eyes are going from blue to the golden brown of the wolf. ]
