( 03 ) video ✵ i got six friends and they all know your name

So, look, I get everybody's all jazzed about that list or whatever, and people wanna do the mourning thing. All good, have at it.

What I'm wondering though, is what we got working to find out who helped the dead dude get that way. Still pretty new around here so I don't know what you got rigged up already, but where I'm from something like this happens we mount up before there's a dead guy number two.

[ so that was... kind of a job application. if you tilt your head and squint. and to seal the deal. ]

Wouldn't mind helping out.

Look like? [ Jaime's eyebrows furrow as he thinks back. ] It stands on an island in the centre of Oldtown, taller than any man could hope to climb. Or jump from and survive. Seven-stepped and seven-sided, rising out of the old castle of House Hightower. The fire at the top burns day and night. They say you can see it out at sea, long after you've lost sight of land.

So it's like a lighthouse on a postcard but way more badass. [ this one is a poet. ] People jump off it a lot?

The fastest way to ensure you're immortalized in the song of some minstrel somewhere. A straight plunge into the open sea? What singer or harp-plucker could resist?

[ faith's indelicate snort pretty well covers her opinion on that. ]

One who wasn't a freaking dumbass?

Ah, I can tell you've never met a minstrel. They only come in one kind.

Screwed around with a drummer once. That count?

It could. Was he a [ excuse the pause; this is a new but extremely useful sounding word ] dumbass?

[ faith lehane is teaching people words this will end badly. ]

Chronic case. [ ACTUALLY IT'S A LONG STORY AND HE MADE THINGS HAPPEN WITH HIS IMAGINATION because that's a thing, sure. but he was also a dumbass. ] Not as jacked up as the dude with a thing for little plaid skirts and a bullwhip, though. Guy had some issues.

[ this is totally appropriate first conversation material, what. ]

"The dude with a thing for little plaid skirts and a bullwhip." You've made a strange selection of conquests, if you don't mind me saying.

[ What are boyfriends? What is dating? ]

And I didn't even get to the klepto. [ she shrugs, shoving some hair out of her face. ] Definitely not ready to give up driving stick and bat for the other team or anything, but men are pretty much dogs.

[ beat. ] No offense.

[ "Stick and bat." This conversation is just full of useful new phrases. Jaime shrugs as well. ]

I spend far too much time listening to soldiers talk about their whores and noblemen about their bit on the side to take offense at something as clearly true as that.

[ and she hasn't even gotten into the wonderful worlds of femine hygiene and euphemisms for sex itself. ]

Soldier, huh? [ she eyes him critically, without hiding it; everybody she's seen so far from planet camelot's pretty fit, but all right. yeah, soldier works out here. ] All right, I can see it.

Soldier and a rich kid. Yeah, can definitely see that. [ ask her about her class issues! only never ever do that instead. ]

[ He's not going to ask how she figured out the rich kid part. What's a class??? Is that something to do with all those poor people who don't count???? ]

They used to say that the Lannister family was as wealthy as it was because my lord father could shit gold.

[ well honestly the hair. and the casual nobles namedrop, but mostly the hair. and u g h rich people are the worst okay. ]

Dude. [ she can't even care about the rich thing, that's just awesome. ] You sure you're a trust funder? Because you sure as hell don't talk like one.

[ very clearly this is a good thing in her mind. ]

[ Jaime smiles in acknowledgement. There's one accusation he's more than happy to admit to. ]

I admit I've never had the patience for court game. Too much talk, too little doing what needs to be done.

[ not that faith is the world's hardest person to lead, but jaime is selling himself like a champ here. ]

Talking's for the brain trusts. More of a doer, myself.

[ Almost makes you wonder how so many people find him offensive and off-putting! ]

And tell me, what is it, exactly, that you do?

Save the world kind of gig. Mostly they just put something sharp in my hands and tell me what to stick it in.

[ this is your slayer, tranquility! she alone will... make a meh face at the forces of darkness until there's a point where she can do wanton violence, then she's all about it.

how does faith hero she can't even. ]

[Jaime laughs, but it's an I get that kind of laugh. What with how Faith has essentially just described his perfect weekend. ]

So you're like a knight for your world?

Edited 2012-08-26 21:32 (UTC)

Slayer. [ and this from the girl who mocked the ren faire's habit of naming everyone in sight something new every third tuesday. ] 'S what they call us.

[ Eyebrows up. ]

Not a name that's usually meant nicely where I'm from, [ says the Kingslayer. ]

[ /KANYESHRUG. ] Not a nice job.

Not really a thing where I'm from, anyway. Pretty much the only people in the know are either trying to kill me or give me orders, and they already got their opinions set.

[ other than team angel, but that is this whole emotional thing she's not going to do because ew gross feelings. ]

[ Stupid people and their stupid set opinions. When will they learn. ]

And names say far more for the people using them. In my experience, at least.

[ 'you're a rabid dog, faith'. she snorts in agreement, nodding. ]

Yeah, noticed that one before.
