It really does. It's kind of sad. I mean, I grew up in the city myself, but still. It's a donkey, it's not exactly uncommon.

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.
you ask me.
tell me his name.
tell me what he looks like.
tell me what he sounds like.
and i'll look.

when he disappeared, he had it with him. he never let it out of his sight. and now i have it.
[ And it's killing her. ]
scott. blue eyes, dark hair -- darker than mine, curly when it grows out. track runner's sort of build; he's not really broad, or he wasn't when i last saw him. we're both from detroit so we have that sort of not-accent. he's the younger one and the smart one. his voice isn't too deep -- tenor, i think that's the term.
you remind me of him, a little bit.

'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.

[ 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. ]

[ Aragorn you need to stop stalking people. This is why Elrond has questions about you marrying his daughter, okay. ]
Tell me about it. [ Sigh.
Pause. ] That was rhetorical, you don't have to tell me about it. [ You sound medieval, she figures she should clarify. ]

[ Scott would look for her, too. He'd talk to people, charm them the way he's always been able to, break into whatever he could to find her. He'd understand the riddles. Any where brains failed, he'd use his knife. But she doesn't know if he's alive or dead, and thinking about him hurts just a little too much. ]
thank you
[ For trying. For contacting her at all. For telling her. ]

[ 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? ]

... I don't know, actually? It's just kind of... a thing people do. [ Now she's confused. ]

Such as greetings?

[ SHE IS DADDY'S PRECIOUS BABY GIRL ARAGORN ]
Uh. Yeah, I guess? Though I think those might be pretty universal. Maybe.
[ Pause. Oh. That might have been a hint. ]
I'm 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.

The what?

you'll be watching, i'm sure.
[ Because Jaye doesn't always ask for help, even when she needs it. Maybe that's her way of giving permission for Aberdeen to intervene if she feels like she should, maybe she just didn't think -- but either way, she's sure Aberdeen will have her eyes on things. ]

If you use fancy bows, I will probably step on you.
But you can try.
But you can try.
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.

If you'd held it any tighter, she might have turned on you. She was afraid and the gas meant she wasn't in her right mind. It's possible she wouldn't have known you, that she would have attacked you too, even if it was just to get away.
[ Jaye has been a frightened animal.
She considers pointing out that it was Alayne who asked if she would like company, but she's restless. Alayne could possibly calm her down but she doesn't want to be calmed down. She wants to fight and scream and she wants to stop waiting like a target, like an animal in a cage, so she just nods. ] Guess that makes sense.
