[ 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. ]

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

I can help with the metal.

[ 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.

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.

You have experience with such things?

I know a guy. No promises or anything, but this sounds like his kind of deal.

[ She could offer to help, she thinks. Could ruin the hand in the process, if only to ensure the Kingslayer never sees the hilt of the sword again. But such treachery is too obvious and too indelicate. (A lowly cost to see her brothers live, however. To secure that, Alayne would pay all manner of debt.) ]

And yet I find myself expecting you will find new ones, in the wake of such liberation.

[ The implication is clear, though she is not sure if it means much to him: remember what you promised. ]

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

And what sort of "deal" is that?

[ A low cost, perhaps, but in Jaime's eyes, it would be treachery that Alayne Stone contemplates, and treachery enough to call an end to the peace between them. Jaime has come to... respect the girl, somewhat, but even he has things he will not forgive. ]

Or they will find me.

Yeah, I do.

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.

[ In the end, it is too brash and too obvious (and perhaps, she considers, too unprompted). She does not know of his crimes against Sansa Stark's brother, that it was that wretched hand that pushed Bran out of the tower and left him crippled. Perhaps it is all of the best, then, that she considers the deception and then sets it aside.

My hands would not be clean. ]

No doubt, if they do, it is because your voice carries far too well. [ That tongue of his — sharp and unyielding. One day Alayne thinks it will talk Ser Jaime's head onto a plate. ]

[Oh okay she turns on video too.]

Well, is someone bending it?

Living metal?

[ Jaime what the fuck. Either way- ]

You have any plans for afterward?

Forgive me but as this is of some importance to me, I'll need a little more than that. This isn't a matter where I can go on faith alone.

[ Jaime's tongue is sharp indeed but in this moment, it has grown indolent as well. She may batter at him with her own words if she likes, but he is not quite ready to rise to the bait as he usually would. ]

Hard to stay hidden and undetected in those sorts of circumstances, yes.

[ Good call, Korra, 'cause now he can look you in the face blankly. ]

Sorry, is someone what?

You know...bending...which is...something you also don't have, I guess...

[A sigh!]

My world, we can bend the elements. You know - move 'em with our spirits. Really good earthbenders can bend metal, make it "live," I guess...but doesn't sound like that's what's going on for you.

If a woman named Sarah Reese asks you, I didn't explain this to you.

My sister, back home, she has a metal arm.

[And a metal torso. And legs. And head.]

I've done repairs on her before.

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.

[ That's not very helpful, Jaime. ]

If I can get someone to cover for me, how about a drink?

[ It is that indolence that grates the most, for she thinks it born out of satisfaction of what will come after. Without so much as missing a beat. ]

The orange Strider, whose name is Dirk. He made you hand and now you wish to see it fashioned. [ Her tone is no longer sing-song, though it is not hard nor cruel either. ] He made Bran bracers for his legs and now he may walk as any other boy should.

[ A pause and then: ] You told me once you are a knight and that fighting is what knights do. Will you use this hand to raise a sword against my brothers?

Answer me as frankly as I have asked.

[ Jaime scratches at the whiskers on his chin with his good hand (soon to be his flesh and blood hand but not the only good one). ]

The boy who made it for me might have been one of those, though he promised that his gift would work as well in his absence.
