Tranquility.

[ It's with a warm sort of politesse that Petyr addresses the network this time around, a crimson sash draped over one of his shoulders and a new set of robes upon his frame. Visible next to him, at the fringe of the image, is a girl with chestnut brown hair and her hands folded in her lap, who should prove familiar to at least some upon the ship. ]

I inquired some months ago as to the existence of a physical library, and was informed that the ship lacked such a facility. As such, I have taken it upon myself to begin one for the sake of those who would prefer the feel of a solid page than the, ah. Furnishings that the ship provides. My collection is meager, but it is more than what was available upon my arrival. Should you care to take advantage of it, I can be found upon the fifth level, next to the quarters that Alayne Stone — [ at the mention, the girl sitting next to him smiles prettily and offers up a wave ] — keeps as a seamstress. She has offered her help in my endeavor, to care for the books in my absence.

That said, should you be willing to part with them, we would greatly appreciate any spare books that you might have. This service is without charge, and meant simply for the comfort of those upon the ship.

I have taken the liberty of attaching the list of the books collected so far, and hope that some of you, at least, will find some use in it.

[ And, with a duck of his head, the feed cuts out. ]

ATTACHMENT.

My dearest Alayne. It's been far too long since I've last seen you.

You are a very busy woman and I do not begrudge your other business. [ She glances off-screen, no doubt towards Petyr who lingers somewhere in the wings. ] Though what you say is true.

Have you made new acquaintance with the recent arrivals? Perhaps found gifts within your locker?

[ only a bloodied handkerchief. irene's smile flickers, but doesn't fade. ]

I've been waiting for my moment. I'd hate to overwhlem them when they're so new.

[ A flicker is a fault, a sign of weakness, a distraction. (Alayne wonders which is the case here.) ]

Does that not make them easier to charm? For who could resist such a beautiful song when stripped of normal comforts.

Have you been singing to them, little bird? They're more fortunate than they know, if that's the case.
wont: (DUCK)

[personal profile] wont 2012-09-14 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Singing, dancing, winging them from here to there. [ Alayne smiles sweetly. Oh, when she wishes to be, she is quite the confection. ] Some have proven to be quite the delight.
jilt: (distractions.)

Care to tell me which ones you find delightful to narrow my own perusal?

Lady Lucrezia Borgia, Miss Irene. Never have I met a sweeter soul. [ Alayne's look grows secret now. ] We must help her fashion a nest here. I feel she would benefit from learning a few songs.

[personal profile] jilt 2012-09-19 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You must introduce us then. If her voice is so sweet then I'm sure we could find a song for her.

[ Alayne dips a bow, modest and yet knowing. ] You are but the very greatest tutor. I will blush to share you, but I mustn't be greedy.

[ A pause, then the feed goes PRIVATE. ]

A question, Miss Irene. If I may.

Always, my darling. What do you wish to ask?

A question after dyes. Not of cloth or fabric, but of hair.

[ A pause. ] —are you familiar?
jilt: (Default)

[personal profile] jilt 2012-09-25 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, passingly. Do you need my help with it again?

[ She keeps her hesitation dainty, as if were a light and passing thing, not a heavy burden on her mind. ]

Is there— is there a manner by which to strip the dye from hair once more, even after it has taken to color?

[personal profile] jilt 2012-09-26 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure there must be, but I'm not familiar. Perhaps my counterpart would be. My inquiry would be very discreet, if you wish me ask.

He is very clever, though, isn't he? Your counterpart, the Mister Sherlock Holmes.

Terribly, but we mustn't let on. We wouldn't want him growing smug.

Oh no, Miss Irene. A smug counterpart never does one any favors.

Do you think he will not be clever enough to divine my secret?

[personal profile] jilt 2012-09-26 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we are more clever than he, especially as a pair. You needn't worry.

[personal profile] wont 2012-09-26 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Then yes, I ask you inquire with eager haste but utmost discretion. [ A dip, a bow. ] Once again, Miss Irene, I find myself in your debt.
