It seems there are many from my world to be welcomed aboard after this past jump. If those of Westeros inclined to make their presence known, I would speak with all of you.

[ there's a pause. a direwolf's low whine can be heard, and robb exhales slowly. ]

And I'm sure it is already known, but the lady who called herself Aberdeen is no longer aboard.

[ and feed is cut. ]

[tumbleweeds]

It's been a long few months.

[20mentholkools]

Learning the hard way.

[That was what the universe did to you, and you either learnt fast or you didn't. He knows it.]

[tumbleweeds]

Only way I know how. But we both know a girl who'd rather Robb didn't.

[20mentholkools]

[There's a pause. That was a low and rather irritating blow, Jaye.]

People don't get their rathers. I'm not wasting my time trying to fix that.

[tumbleweeds]

[ You're welcome. :D ]

Magneto's gone. [ This seems incredibly off-topic, she's aware. ] She sent him after you, he got you on my back so you didn't die in the middle of the ship. Was that a waste of time?

[ There's no judgement there -- just curiosity. ]

[20mentholkools]

[There might be no judgement there, but he doesn't like it anyway. Doesn't like any reminder of that. He'd never been sick before, that weak over something he couldn't physically fight. It was a vulnerability he didn't want to repeat or have to think about.]

Wasn't my time.

[tumbleweeds]

[ That could be interpreted a couple ways. Not his time to waste, not his time to die. Jaye hums slightly, decides that it's an acceptable answer either way, and continues on. ]

Nice of you to poke your head back out, at least. You haven't called me an idiot in like two months.

[20mentholkools]

Maybe I decided you were a lost cause.

[tumbleweeds]

If that were the case, you would've given up on Robb ages ago.

[20mentholkools]

Never called him an idiot.

[Just implied it. Heavily. A lot.]

[tumbleweeds]

Doesn't mean he isn't one.

Besides, if you decided I was a lost cause, you wouldn't have spoken up.

[20mentholkools]

Did say maybe.

[tumbleweeds]

[ There's another hum. ]

What a charmer.
