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. ]

[ ...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.

[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!

Books, you say. [ Ygritte has never actually seen a proper book, just glimpsed some tattered ones that were picked up during a raid on a Southron village from somewhere. ]

'Never read one, but I don't think they'd like readin' about free folk weapons in th' South.

Are there no books where you're from, then?

[kindlings]

There are, but we don't have many of 'em North o' the Wall. [ A light shrug. ] 'Course even if we did, readin's not something we'd need t' know.

[ Of course she'd rather think it's a skill that's not necessary for her, rather than admit to anyone otherwise. :/ ]


You've read alot of 'em, then?

The "Wall"? [a slight head tilt]

Oh, yep! All kinds.
