[hmm. after much fiddling and a crash course on how to video, davos finally gets the screen working, although he'd had to prop it on a table because holding it with his hands is a little bit of a difficulty. off-screen, he clears his throat for a bit, and then he appears, a rather-rough looking (old) man whose face speaks of a general distrust of technology who has no other choice than to reacquaint himself with something unfamiliar, again.]

I've listened to conversations around, and it is in my knowledge that for some of the occupants of this ... ship [he actually feels uncomfortable having to say that], this isn't the first, or second time, that such an event has happened - where a man or a woman has been thrown out of their present circumstances and into this place as either a reprieve, or a curse.

If there can be an assurance made that time stops when a man is thrown into this place, far away from whatever land or world he hails from, I would be willing to listen to them. [a pause.] I'll have to ask to make your replies not in text. I don't expect anyone to comply to that request, but if you could be so kind, please do not.

That being said, there are others who are from the same land, and perhaps time, as I was. [a pause.] I am not one to ponder on the specific manipulations of time and space, I've no knowledge there. But if the name of Westeros means something personal to you, I humbly request a meeting. Not on behalf of any King, as all of us are poor on that respect - and perhaps so much the better, but that is yet to be seen. Only of myself.

[a much longer pause. he ain't a smuggler for nothing.] Information is never freely given unless one asks for reward, and even beggars in that respect don't rely on the kindness of others. I have none to offer in return, unless specific concerns regarding the state of Westeros as I left it are raised - that, I can answer, in exchange for answers as well. The value of both, of course, can be determined later.

That is all. Thank you for understanding.

[end feed.]

ooc; will be slow

Well, I couldn't just outright ask if he could read or not, could I. That would be rude--and yet I still wanted to know. And now I do know! So if ever I'm seen writing at him again, then you can call that dishonoring, but for now--I'm only gathering information.

All right?

Still, there were other ways to go about doing so.

I just don't have the courtesy you lot have, I'm afraid. It comes of being of different times and worlds and, y'know, not being stuffy and ancient and without a sense of humour.

Sorry!

Watch yourself, boy.

Sorry--I did say 'sorry', right?

[clearly very concerned with what other people appreciate yep]

Or do you mean to say that you actually have got a sense of humour? Should I be apologising for that slight? This is difficult, this courtesy thing.

Now you are purposefully being obtuse, boy.

[ fools and fools. It changed little no matter which realm one was in.

no doubt renly or robert would be fond of a boy such as this. ]
