like so much kindling [ video ♐ 002 ]

[kindlings]

[ Ygritte activates the video feed. When the camera focuses she's seated cross-legged on Jon Snow's bed, looking into it intently, features stern—and with her other hand tapping the flat blade of a carved bone dagger against her sheepskin-covered thigh.

Her voice is steady and light, but with just a hint of iron underneath it. ]


...I'll speak now t' the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, 'f he's willing.






[ ...No encryption of any sort, b/c wildling. Takes place after a particular conversation with Alayne Stone.

...Jon Snow, you got some 'splainin to do, boy. ]

[bruxisms]

[ oh... it's you. ]

What business do you have with Lord Snow?

[ he mislikes the spearwife more and more with each passing moment. ]

[kindlings]

[ asgjk;l Stannis. She mislikes your face. ]


Doesn't concern you, now, does it?

[bruxisms]

[ he mislikes your face far more. ]

In this case, it does. The Lord Commander is... [ not a friend, certainly. ]

An ally.

A woman is a wildling.

[Okay, she's been trying to contain her curiosity, but that just isn't happening.]

What is it like, beyond the Wall?

[ voice ] ... A WILD ARYA APPEARS

[kindlings]

[ Luckily she has the text-to-voice translator, which translates the typed text into a tinny, breezy little electronic voice. ]

...Free folk. We're called the free folk. [ Her correction is stern, but not unkind. ] You Southron's think we're all wild savages, but it's t' be expected from ones that don't know how t' be free.

[ She decides to save her condescension for a later time. ] Why would y' want t' know what's beyond the Wall?

[I'm no southron, she thinks, but does not say. She isn't of the north anymore, she's no one.] A girl knows that freedom can be bought. She has paid that coin. [Although whether being no one in the House of Black and White is really freedom is...kind of hard to say.]

A girl has never seen it. She is curious.

[wont]

[ Juuuuust watching. ]

( not here )

[kindlings]

[ Why does Ygritte feel like all the Westerosi are doing the equivalent of popcorn.gif'ing at this thread. Why. ]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Are you an acquaintance of his from home?

[voice]

[kindlings]

...An' if I am?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Then I'll inquire as to how.

video+text

[mikelo]

[a rather youthful looking teen with a mop of dark, reddish-blond hair appears on screen. He's curious with a slight tilt of his head, hazel eyes bright. It's absolutely delightful to see such color of hair so similar to his own (he's far from accustomed to it, being more familiar with darker browns, and the occasional bleach blonde)

Before he types, he points to that blade she has, brows lifting a bit in question.]

Mind holding your dagger closer to the screen? It looks neat.

[ video ]

[kindlings]

[ ...Oh. Another who's kissed by fire.

For some reason, the translator says he wants to see her dagger, and she holds it up for him to examine. ]

It's not much. 'S just bone.

[ video+text ]

[mikelo]

[He appears curious, but pleased.]

Can't say I've ever seen one made of bone before, except maybe in books. That's pretty cool!

[wolfinthesnow]

I'll be there in a moment.

[kindlings]

[ Glaring. ]


I'll be waiting. Crow.

[wolfinthesnow]

[He opens the door, arms crossed]

Lets hear it, then.

[hisfinestact]

[ Deeply, deeply delighted: ]

It sounds as though someone is in trouble.

video; o hai ser 8D

[kindlings]

[ Frowning. Yet another one. Ygritte has nearly had her fill of the Southron folk these last two weeks. ]

You seem awf'ly cheerful 'bout it. What's it t' you?

video; why hello there ginger

[hisfinestact]

Nothing. [ Said it what may be his least convincing tone, of which Jaime Lannister has many. ] Just pleased to see that trouble has found its way back to the Lord Commander after he tried to set it in my direction.

Sweet knife.

[ how does faith do social skills ever? ]

video

[kindlings]

[ Answer: VERY SASSILY.

Ygritte glances down at the dagger, in confusion. ]


'Sweet'?

[stacked]

...means like, nice? I like it.

[ why do people keep making her explain things in complete sentences that's not cool, god. ]

'S what, bone? [ her grin is a little on the greedy side. not that she has klepto issues or anything, just a thing for knives. ]

[northerner]

Hopefully not another fire for him to manage?

lol Robb you do so not want to know about this thread, ever. XD

[kindlings]

[ She makes a face and stops the tapping with the blade. ]


No, y'Lordship, [ sarcasm ] there's no fire here. Y' don't see any smoke, d'you?
