[the first thing visible is just a plethora of green. if that doesn't tip you off that she's sitting in the oxygen garden, then i don't know what will. small hands are turning the comm over and over, and there are flashes of blue fabric and shoes every few seconds.

finally, it comes to settle on her face--all big blue eyes and straw-blonde bangs. there's a velvet ribbon colored gold tied up in her hair. sadly, the shot is upside-down. seeming to realize this, she flips the device over and tilts her head. long, straight hair falls over one shoulder and one tiny, white wing is visible behind her.

she suddenly seems very agitated; her brow furrows and she looks rather pleading and sad. the video post ends, and next comes text:]

[ Oh, she recognizes those blue eyes, that flaxen hair and that golden ribbon. She'd given it to her after all, hadn't she? Alayne make sure to use video, so that there is no question for Nill who is asking after her. ]

Nill— [ Concern shows in her expression. ] —where have you flown off to? What ever is the matter?

Uh, can I help you?

[ A smiling Nill is much better than an anxious one. In fact, the smile is more than enough to warrant one of Alayne's own and so she reaches up and touches a ribbon — hers eggshell blue — affixed in her own hair. Like a show of strength or camaraderie. (She knows what it is to be a little bird. The world is not kind, but Alayne means to help.) ]

Flown to the gardens, have you? Aren't they lovely? Do you like it there?
wont: (DOVE)

[ The Westerosi enjoy their talk of animals. The great houses each have one emblazoned as their sigil (all save the Tyrells, of course) and so there is talk of flying and howling and roaring. Alayne's father has the sigil of the mockingbird, a small silver affectation of which Alayne wears at all times round her throat. And so mention of birds and their songs happens often. But, as Nill gleans, it's not meant to be mean in any way. ]

Have you gone exploring? Hatter holds tea in the gardens every day. People sit about and chatter — it's all very lovely. [ A pause and Alayne lifts her eyebrows. ] Would you care for tea sometime, Nill? Perhaps, if we are lucky, we can convince Ned to make us a pie.

[ hesitantly, because she'd shrunk away from him. perhaps it would be better like this, through the device. ]

Do you need someone to teach you how to manage your device? There is much about them that escapes me, but I have accumulated some knowledge of them while I've stayed here.
northerner: (speaking of mercy.)

Do you know your letters?

[ because if she could not speak, it would prove difficult to read her from body language alone. ]

[ Alayne knows nothing of the world Nill has come from, so she is only left to guess. The way she moves from one mood to the next, the way she waxes thoughtful or fearful or brave — it makes her think it is not a pleasant place, for she reminds Alayne of herself from time to time. ] Tea it is then. And pie. Or perhaps lemoncakes, if he's feeling generous and there are lemons somewhere aboard to spare.

[ A pause and then Alayne asks, having seen Robb speak to Nill below. ] Are you acquainted with the King in the North?

[She has wings.

No, Bran thinks a second later, she cannot have wings, not truly. She must have a bird that has wings, that sits on her shoulder--like one of Alayne's birds, only more tame.]


Do you need help?
northerner: (the heir.)

[personal profile] northerner 2012-07-10 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Will you spell me your name with them, if you can?

[ gently, so gently, because something about him frightens her, and he's not sure what. so the wolf hides his teeth and his claws as best he can, speaks quietly and carefully and tries very hard to be harmless, a dog not a beast at all. ]

[ Tea and lemons, yes, that does sound lovely. It fills Alayne with a kind of sugary delight to to have a friend she can give ribbons to and be a girl with again. She was still Sansa when that had last been possible and that seems like ages ago now. Another life. Another girl. (Sansa is not Alayne and Alayne is not Sansa.)

Her expression warms when she speaks about the king. It is obvious and without question that she cares for him a great deal. (Why she cares is a different question.)
] The King in the North — the man who has asked if you know your letters. [ Alayne smiles. ] He is my liege and a man of honor.

He means nothing but good things for you in offering aid, and all that he extends to you, I will extend in kind.

[Most of his time is spent tending to the oxygen gardens, but on one of his smoke breaks he checks the network to see - what the hell. He can't decide if that's a distress signal or. What.]

You okay kid

[And if he doesn't get something back in a moment... time to look around up on the second or third level.]
handelaar: (gimme a light)

voice and... let's just make this as awful as possible yeah!

[Huh... then what the hell was that. He thinks about asking, but she interrupts with- that guy? Texting sucks ass, so he switches to voice.]

Don't like that guy. [Pause.] German.
wolfdreamer: (stare - all I'd hope would change)

[personal profile] wolfdreamer 2012-07-10 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[At that, he stares--and he knows that staring will be marked as a rudeness, but he cannot help it. He means it more in awe than anything else, and that comes into his voice:]

You have wings.
