PRIVATE; ENCRYPTED 20%

[northerner]

You may have as many words of me as you wish. What is it you want me to say?

PRIVATE; ENCRYPTED 100%; THANKS TONY

[wont]

[ Alayne smiles, albeit modestly. It would be obvious to an attentive brother that there is much on her mind. ]

I wish to speak of— the new arrivals. The other Westerosi the ship has seen fit to bring.

PRIVATE; ENCRYPTED 100%;

[northerner]

Better to speak of them sooner rather than later. Jon Snow was telling me of his concerns only several days ago.

PRIVATE; ENCRYPTED 100%;

[wont]

[ A pause and her smile grows thoughtful and sullen. Mentions of Jon Snow often do these days. Though initial reunion had brought them together, now their bond suffers under the weight of Alayne's secrets. ]

And what did he say?

PRIVATE; ENCRYPTED 100%;

[northerner]

He fears we won't manage to keep your secret. There are those in Westeros who know our family too well.

[ robb's tone is hesitant, so very cautious as he imparts their concerns. he swore to keep sansa's secret ( sansa, not alayne, because robb doesn't understand how deeply the secret of alayne has twisted into his sister's soul ) and the talk of betraying that makes him uneasy ]

A girl listens.

PRIVATE | ENCRYPTED 100% | STARKTASTICAL

[wont]

You keep to yourself as always, little shadow.
It is better that we should speak face-to-face.

PRIVATE | ENCRYPTED 100% | STARKTASTICAL

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[There is a short wait before her reply, tempted, as ever, to refuse.]

Where?

PRIVATE | ENCRYPTED 100%

[wont]

[ The pause makes her nervous. (She knows the girl is sometimes reluctant to agree. ]

Of your choosing.

[ private || Alayne & Remus ]

[doggedly]

We can do anything, Lady Alayne. [And no one better come along and contradict him now because it's true. (More or less.)]

Can I assume that you aren't asking out of idle curiosity, but some greater interest?

[ private || Alayne & the Marauders ]

[wont]

Anything is quite the estimation, Sirius Black. I do not think I could afford such a grand favor, and only hope that the order of simply snow will warrant a more modest cost.

[ Her voice is as prim as it always is whenever she speaks to Sirius. ] No sun, no sky and no clouds to darken them. It is enough to make anyone long for what is lost. Do you not agree?

[ private || Alayne & the Marauders ]

[doggedly]

[Oh, but this is a welcomed primness, frustrating and engaging all at once. A glutton for this punishment, he replies cheerfully.]

Well put. And I do miss all of it, now that you're saying it. Especially sunlight--my kingdom for sunlight!--and, of course, snow.

Only snow. Where would this snow fall, if it could fall here? D'you think--in all the corridors, perhaps?

[ private || Alayne & the Marauders ]

[wont]

[ One may believe they are both gluttons for punishment, given how much toil and suffering they effect in one another's company. And yet— ]

I would not think to visit winter on the entire ship. [ Alayne presses her lips together. ] They are many who are not half as taken with its winds.

Private;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Easily. What do you need it for?

Private;

[wont]

[ A dip of her chin. ]

A friend who longs for winter.

Private;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Well. I can certainly arrange it-- perhaps in one the spare rooms. Which friend, am I allowed to know?

Private;

[wont]

The young lord of Winterfell, Bran Stark. The direwolf Summer is his companion — have you made re-acquaintance? [ A pause. ] Once, you were a great mentor to him.

[starked]

[ problems with the ren faire? they really don't know how to encrypt. thankfully tony exists to totally up those encryptions to 100 percent unhackable levels after the original pings to the people. say thank you alayne. ]

A girl is allowed to speak without worry of nosy individuals peeking into the best encryptions she could make. [ a beat. ] None of this is my business, I know, but figured if you were even trying to encrypt, you probably don't want everyone spying on it.

( V I D E O | encrypted 100% | tony & alayne )

[wont]

[ Thank you, Anthony. You do now how you're her favorite non-Stark Stark, right? Needless to say she looks a bit startled, a little bit sheepish and a lot grateful. ]

Anthony. [ She bows, of course. Habit. ] Forgive me, but I know only what has been taught to me through the good graces of King Robb's companion. She is gone now, I believe, and so my lessons have ended.

It is good of you to make up the difference, thank you.

( V I D E O | encrypted 100% | tony & alayne )

[starked]

[ He totally knows and cherishes the fact that he is her favorite not-Stark Stark. Because that means approval. ]

Alayne. [ A tilt of his head to make her feel better and to make sure he uses his manners. ] You're welcome. His companion was one of mine as well. If you want, I can try and teach you more.

( V I D E O | encrypted 100% | tony & alayne )

[wont]

[ It makes her both happy and sad — the offer of assistance (that was proof of love, wasn't it) as well as knowing that Anthony has also suffered a loss, same as Robb. She regrets not having made the effort to know Aberdeen better, if only to be better suited to offer them comfort and sympathy. ] I would be endlessly grateful, thank you. Though I bet you allow me to offer some recompense. I am uncertain what I may have that would appeal, but I am resourceful and know many aboard the ship.

[ A pause then follows. A thoughtfulness. Alayne is partially preoccupied with the matters at hand, the conversations that are happening behind the filters that Anthony has strengthened. She seems to worry over something for a moment. ] Anthony— [ she then says at length. ] —is what I say truly hidden? Will not a soul hear what is uttered?

[ I have a secret to tell you. ]

[seem]

[ Petyr's brow arches, but he keeps his expression neutral otherwise. ]

That would depend upon the man.

( PRIVATE | PERMAVIDEO | ENCRYPTED 100% | PETYR YOU SHOW OFF )

[wont]

[ Her expression is not half as neutral, though her tone remains ever polite. ]

Any man. Of your choosing.

( PRIVATE | PERMAVIDEO | ENCRYPTED 100% | HE TRIES HIS BEST )

[seem]

Once upon a time, a very great deal. Upon this ship, less so. I would put more value upon keeping my own.

( PRIVATE | PERMAVIDEO | ENCRYPTED 100% | CONSIDER HER APPROPRIATELY WOWED, DADDY WARBUCKS )

[wont]

[ Her mouth purses thoughtfully. ] Hatter does not offer a means for us to keep our secrets. [ Our, she says. Alayne keeps no secrets from Petyr. ] Only to divine others'. Is there not worth in that?
