[ for optimal viewing pleasure, please see the following and allow to run in the background as you enjoy this recording. though the only thing currently in the feed is an angled shot of the treetops in the gardens, this is not an accidental video. there's rustling in the background, like something's moving fast through the leaves coming closer, and it is moving.
a couple seconds later, myfanwy comes flying overhead, a small black shape on her back. it might not be terribly difficult to discern what it is, but don't worry if you miss it, because the pteranodon makes a screech and a sharp turn, sending the shape tumbling off her back towards the device.
river rolls over the feed when she hits the ground, dressed in her tq crew uniform with the legs cut into shorts, hair tied up in a messy bun and hands covered with fingerless black gloves that hardly fit her at all. sky-diving experts or anyone with military training might notice her roll is perfectly controlled to minimise damage, and when she comes back into view, her eyes are wide with adrenaline but she doesn't seem particularly bothered by her fall. ]
Test five. Flight successful. Notes: need to meet higher altitude, consider construction of a harness; ask permission first. No hard turns.
[ she looks away for a second and blinks. ]
I skinned my knees.
[ oops? that's all she says before cutting off the feed. a second later, she attaches a text message. ]
needed:
[ namely: simon's services and stolen goods. double oops? river's permission post is, as always, right yonder with all the necessary warnings and what have you! ]

[ namely: simon's services and stolen goods. double oops? river's permission post is, as always, right yonder with all the necessary warnings and what have you! ]
[video]
You're right. Then have you asked? Will she permit it?
[video]
[ she will hang out with her starkbros. ]
[video]
But not really there. I could be, though-- Summer and I both. It was a very good flight. You must tell me next time you fly, and I will come and watch. And you must tell me what her answer is, too, if she will let you paint her.
What sort of treats does she eat?
[video]
[ finger paint dinosaurs with her, bran!!! ]
She's got a sweet beak. Bitter, too. The dark is hers.
[video]
If I brought more chocolate to her, perhaps she would be pleased enough that she would not mind being painted. I will find some in the kitchens if I look, I am sure, and then I will come to the gardens.
[video]
[ go team! ]
[video]
[HIGH FIVE in advance.]
Should I come first to the gardens, or should I first bring some chocolate to show that we will return with more?
[video]
[video]
[video]
[ she pauses, because that is something of a foreign concept. ]
Chocolate releases endorphins in the brain that generate the feeling of elation. Makes her happy. But there are others too. We could look for one?
[video]
[He repeats the word slowly, thoughtfully. Such a thing is unheard of.]
What else will release such-- end or fins in her? Will other sweets work the same?
[video]
Endorphins. Noun. Peptides released in the brain and vertebrates during physical activity, excitement, pain, and love. Things you enjoy and things that hurt. Don't want to hurt her though, so we'll have to find other things she enjoys.
[video]
[He repeats the word once more, with more confidence this time.]
Things that you love and enjoy are always a better help. [Men can be made to do things if they are hurt, but his father always told them that loyalty and love were a better motivation. A king's subjects should love him, and do what they do out of that love. It is the same here, as it is with all beasts.] She will learn to love the colors, too. All ladies like colors, and she is as noble as any lady--the Lady Myfanwy.
[video]
The Lady Myfanwy. With the Lady of Rivers and the little Lord of Winterfell. We'll paint each other in gold.
[video]
We can't paint ourselves!
[video]
[video]
[BUT THERE COULD BE and he sort of likes the idea...]
Who are we warring with?
[video]
The Black.
[video]
The Black. [He repeats her words; it's an agreement.] Do you have weapons?
[video]
Yes. We eat the dark and share the light, and paint each other gold.
[video]
And Summer, too. But only a little gold. He will eat more than us, but he will not suffer to be painted.
[video]
The sun doesn't need to be painted. He'll shine bright even on the darkest of nights in the dead of winter.
[ a child of summer. bran might be one of her greatest weapons against the black too. ]
[video]
He's a wolf, not the sun. But you are right. He shines.
[Four paws, four legs, running in the snow--a forest lit by the moon and the stars, but it looks clear as day, as if there is some light no one else sees by: that is Summer.]
We will surely win our war, with him on our side.
[video]
[ all of them. she has to believe. ]
