[ For once, Alayne Stone — Sansa Stark to some already — does not greet the Tranquility with her usual politesse and poise. Where usually she would arrange herself carefully, hands folded and not a hair out of place, she sits in the frame of the picture lopsidedly and sideways, the whole of it shaking as the dull sound of a fist flat upon metal rings in the background. ]

Lady! Lady—! [ Alayne calls and the answer is a muffled howl, coupled with another bang and the indistinct sound of another voice. ] —Petyr, I—

—I will call for aid, just please— [ Another howl, more dire this time. ] —look to keep her calm.

[ Only now does the image right itself, Alayne's expression pinched with worry though she does her best to smooth her hair back (and with it, some of her fluster). Still, Alayne's speech is quick and worried. ] My dear Tranquility, I beg the question: is there no way to unlock the doors? No matter of mechantry or— or magic that may give us passage back to our rooms?

I was not mindful of the warnings made by others and— only thought to bring warm clothing to those unaccustomed to such bitter climes. But in doing so, I have made my room a cage for my guardian and my animals. [ Again, a howl pierces the air and Alayne flinches visibly. ] Lady howls to be so bereft of me. I am fearful she will harm him or the birds in frustration if salvation does not come quick. So please, I beg you: send aid, if there is any aid to send.

[ Off-screen that muted voice calls out, though it is unclear if it is meant as a response to Alayne's words. She turns when she hears it, reaching for the door, before the video cuts out again. ]

[ ooc note; Alayne is locked outside her room at 003 » 005. Other people on the same floor are welcome to note/comment/investigate the sound of a very upset direwolf howling in one of the rooms. It probably sounds pretty disturbing since Lady almost never howls and she sounds equal parts sad and angry.

Action threads welcome, though Isaac Lahey has first dibs to take Alayne away to join her family. ]

[ If Alayne asks, Tony will tell her that they're not banners and that they're compatriots. They are friends fighting a southron war that nearly destroyed his home. But that's in the future and it's best to focus on the present at the moment. ]

I was making sure. I've got to gather people, including the Lady Pepper, but I'll meet you all down there soon enough. [ Tony's jaw clenches a little, revealing his displeasure at knowing he can't open the door and that he has to admit it to her. ] I can't get them open. I tried.

It seems as if even my cleverness is a bit useless in this situation. The vents might work maybe, though, but someone is going to have to crawl through them. If I could— I'd get them out for you.

Your cleverness shall never be useless. [ Funny, that a man of Anthony's cockiness would need reassurance from Alayne of all people — not that he required it, per say, but Alayne could not allow the conversation to continue without it said. Truth be told, she had no true concept of his cleverness, only knew through and through that it existed (knew it in the way one knew a breeze whenever it blew or knew the sun whenever it shone). ] To know that you are well cheers me.

And Lady Pepper as well—? [ He did not seem worried about his lady— companion, so Alayne took it that she was well enough. ] You will join us when you are gathered, won't you? If nothing but to put Robb at ease.
