[ Hello, world. It's Jaime Lannister's face, bearded and short of hair, finally here for you to enjoy in a way that isn't just antagonizing people on the network. Though, with that said, Jaime does look a little smug at the moment, pleased with something that can't be readily divined just by staring at the screen.

At the same time, for any in audience who know him well enough to read such things or are just good at doing so anyhow, there's some tension around his jaw. Worry or just suppressed impatience? ]

Not to sound needlessly alarming, but I could use the assistance of someone trained in both the healing arts and the ways of living metal. One of our regrettably recently departed saw fit to leave me a gift on his way out, which I would like to have in working order sooner rather than later.

I would be in your debt. And my family is well-known for always seeing to it that our debts are paid.

[ ooc; thanks to dirk strider, jaime's got a robotic hand that needs attaching. please help the poor medieval knight. ]

[ Alayne purses her lips at the Kingslayer, uncertain whether she should enjoy that tension in his jaw or be positively irate with how smug he manages to still be despite it. ]

Problems, Kingslayer?

[ Truth be told, she would rather enjoy the Kingslayer being in her debt — though the cost sits rather unhappily in her gut. ]

[ He is so close to having things made right again (whole) that even her tone can't shift his self-satisfaction today. ]

Very few shortly, Lady Stone. Thank you for inquiring.

Living metal? Is that literal, or just your choice in phrasing.

It is made of metal, yet it moves. I'm sure there are better words for such thing, but I am not acquainted with them.

Hi, I'm Korra. Healing, I got you covered, but...living metal?

What else should I call it? We've no such thing where I hail from. It does not think or breathe or eat or sleep, yet it moves.

Living metal?

[ Jaime what the fuck. Either way- ]

You have any plans for afterward?

Presuming all goes well? I've spent hours thinking of what I would do.

[ And yet, those thoughts were all about Westeros and not about here.

But nothing specific, no.

If the metal is truly living, does it require the healing or perhaps yourself?

[ Because how can metal be living is entirely beyond her. ]

[ It remains beyond Jaime, truth be told. ]

I do not believe it will. It feels as strong as regular metal. As for myself, that would depend on the skill of the person who assists me, wouldn't it?

[Cersei has been observing the network for a while now, spying, learning, trying to figure out how it all functions before bounding in and making a fool of herself due to her ignorance of the technology. When she spots her brother's face, however, such thoughts are swiftly ignored and she sets about replying as soon as possible. It takes her a while but eventually she calls him.]

Jaime. Where are you? What have they done to us? [Cersei's expression is one of concern and irritation. She wants to rectify the situation as soon as possible. Jaime's own personal issues are disregarded for the moment.]

[ There are times when Jaime is exceptionally pleased that the nature of this place allows them to stop, consider, and then respond. It is not something he ever put stock in back home, but there are times -- especially now -- when he appreciates it.

And so Cersei is treated to a long pause instead of Jaime's face as he tries to process how he feels and how he can trust himself to respond. (The answers are complicated and very carefully.) When he does turn his video feed on, his expression is wary. Which is better, perhaps, than the anger he feels. (Though anger mixed with other things; it's unfair that she is still the most beautiful woman he's ever know.) ]

Cersei.

There's living metal now, too?

[ Cillian hisses through his teeth. Needless to say, what he's imagining is somewhat more sinister than simple robotics. ]

Fuck me.

[ Jaime is beginning to get the sense that perhaps people are not quite getting his meaning. ]

Not the sort that is likely to strike up conversation with you but livelier than my sword.

[it's not creepy that he listened to the korra thread, right? totally. totally not.]

You're talking about installing a prosthesis, right? [but this guy sounds awfully renfaire, and there's that one dodgers fan who mysteriously still has control of all bodily functions...] I mean, an artificial limb. Didn't mean to talk shop.

Prosthesis? Is that the word for it? [ Jaime lifts one shoulder to emphasize that this is a brave new vocabulary term for him. ] Where I come from, we forge new limbs of metal and wood, but nothing that truly replace what was lost.

[ hey, he might as well make himself useful, right. besides, Jaime, you and his bff are acquainted (even if Lor doesn't know it yet). why not get a headstart before Bells ruins everything. ]

I.. I'm a healer, if you still need one. [ he doesn't look like a bad guy. maybe a little smug, but he's used to that from Bells. ] I'm not so good with metal, though. Dunno how much use I'd be to you, in that case, but I figure it helps to offer.

Edited 2012-09-12 14:07 (UTC)

Your offer is generous. [ Though Jaime is not entirely surprised to hear it; the people on this ship who can heal seem to be very free with their talents. ] I have asked because I do not know how dangerous the procedure may be.

[ Before Tony says a word there's a rather long debate that happens where he attempts to figure out if he even should. There's a difference between what glows in his chest and attaching a hand, even one was robotic as that. At the same time though, aren't all nerves merely wires that connect in just certain ways?

Still he is a Stark (a lying one, but one none the less) and perhaps the Kingslayer would refuse his help anyway. It never hurts to try though. ]

I wouldn't call myself technically trained in the healing arts, but I've attached things like that before to people. [ So maybe that's a lie, but details. ] Typically I've built them when I've put them in, but, the mechanics should be the same regardless.

How deep would your debt be?

[ Jaime has heard of Tony Stark and so it is with some wariness that he says: ]

Proportional to the difficulty of the task and the skill of the one who takes it on, I imagine.

How did you manage to come across such a thing, Ser Jaime?

assuming, of course, that Jaime gives hi a true answer. ]

The generosity of strangers.

[ True answers can be true without being helpful, a fact Jaime is expert in. ]
