the ship gave you his knife.
[ She's never said that before, never gave the ship ownership over the things that are happening to them. Never until now, until :) and all the rest. Jaye doesn't know that, but Aberdeen does and part of it makes her uncomfortable. ]
yes.

'Tis a common beast of burden, even back home. [ A beat. There might be an odd, odd note to his voice when he continues. ] Strange, the similarities between worlds that remain even when everything seems to be different.
[ By eavesdropping, he means reading/listening to every unlocked bit in this post. What, it's there! ]

[ An older sister reminded of a younger brother; a younger sister reminded of an older one. The irony of it is lost on Aberdeen, who is already running a trace of the Network's previous broadcasts. Searching. (If Eli were here, he'd look for her too. He'd run himself ragged and bloody the walls with his fists when he couldn't find any better solutions and maybe that's why Aberdeen helps.)
Her answer doesn't come straight away and when it does come, what it means isn't clear. ]
i'm sorry.
[ Sorry about the knife. Sorry about him not being here. Sorry about being a walking reminder. It could mean any of these things. Or all of them. ]

[ But but it's Elrond's older babbys that taught Aragorn all he knows about stalking! ]
... Then why say it? [ Now he's confused. And distracted from SENSE OF DOOM. So uh. Thanks, Jaye? ]

Strider. [ Because what is going by his real name on this ship. ]
The halflings speak of being in service to those they speak. Is this similar?

[ What does a person say to something like that. Thank you, Jaye types and Aberdeen reads and there's no real response that doesn't seem excessive or trite or inefficient. And so, in the end, Aberdeen says nothing, at least not for a very long while.
(When her response comes, it's nothing special, nothing heartfelt or deep or profound.) ]
we'll talk again.
[ Maybe soon, maybe not for a while, but Aberdeen knows it's inevitable (Jaye's on her list now, and that doesn't change). ]
if you need me, just ask.

You feel annoyed.
[He gets it!]
I think it's annoying, too. But really smart people do that a lot. My friend Robin is always talking like that.

Lady is my responsibility. [ My father is my responsibility. Protecting those I care for, as proof of my love. And in this, I have failed. ] King Robb and Lord Bran asked me watch her until Lady Stark returns. Had I held the leash more surely—
Perhaps my father would not suffer as he does now. [ In the end, he will bear scars, and those will serve as her reminder.
Alayne considers visiting Jaye, considers taking a moment or two of time for herself. Only after a long moment, she tells Jaye: ] I do not wish for him to wake and his bedside be vacant.
