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. ]

Westeros once suffered the rule of a king much like your Imperious Condescension. I hope you free yourself of her, and before she does any harm to you and your friends.

[ beat ]

Were it possible, my bannermen and I would come topple her as we shall our opponents in battle.

[purrfectlycute]

Oh Robb...

[ Her tone is a mix of awe and sadness. Awe that someone would not only be kind to a little troll girl, but go above and beyond and actually fight for her, even if only theoretically. Nep doesn't have self-esteem problems but she never thought of herself as that important or worthy. By her society's standards she's pretty expendable. Also by Hussie's.

Sadness because such a thing isn't possible. Because it would spell certain death for Robb if he could try. Not even a great king is a match for an immortal alien witch. ]

Thank you-- really, the sentiment is so sweet I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. It means more to me than you know. But our planet is dead and our race is nearly extinct. I'm sure she survived our apocalypse, but there isn't anything left fur her to rule.

[ Except the humans, but Nepeta doesn't know about that. Welp she should probably try to perk up and brighten the tone a bit. ]

Anyway, I'm sure my furiends and I are well out of her reach by now! I'm sorry Westeros had to endure such an awful thing as well. I hope that's all resolved now?

[northerner]

[ it's what he would do for any of his bannermen, any who have proclaimed loyalty to his house. nepeta has done that, has been a friend to his brother and robb has named her his ward, for lack of better term. to go to her aide would be no hardship at all. ]

I'm sorry for that, Nepeta. But if you and yours are safe, then surely all is well.

[ because that was what mattered. family. friends. everything else could be rebuilt, though the pain of losing it owuld never be forgotten. ]

Not yet. We still wage war, but once it has been won, all shall be as it should.

[purrfectlycute]

[ And this is Robb is the best king evar in her eyes ;w; ]

It's okay. You're right, that's what's most impurrtant.

[ And she doesn't want to burst his bubble by telling him about the recent violent outbursts among her friends or the peril they're constantly in. KIDS AND FUN. ]

In that case I will hope fur a swift end to the war and your victory! I wish there was a way fur me to help. It's only fair to purrtect you from opposing armies if you're willing to take on the empress fur my sake!

[northerner]

[ oh gosh nepeta ]

Thankfully, the war has remained in Westeros, though I hope it does not carry on without me. With any luck, it shall be over soon and we need not worry about it overmuch.

[purrfectlycute]

There's a good chance that it won't! Depends how this universe's temporal state coincides with Westeros. Since it s33ms capable of yanking people straight out of their time lines without any visible disruption, it wouldn't be a fur reach to suspect you'll be put right back where and when you were taken from!

...Of course, it could always be the opposite case, but I'd prefer to be pawsitive about it.

[northerner]

Wwe should hope for the best, shouldn't we? All would be very bleak if we did not.
