[ a flurry of leafy outdoor motion! and it seems to have cut in mid-sentence, or at least mid-shout— ]

—wanted was to know if I had found North yet! [ oh a face!! big dark eyes, huge scowl, and like the biggest, fluffiest hooded jacket ever. ] They were very rude and I would not have minded hurting them, or maybe I would kill them, but they ran away, and now my back hurts. Raafa says people who run away are cowards, and not worth anything. I do not want to see any of them again.

[ a pause, one heavy, frustrated sigh, and then she looks a little bit less pissed. it's good to have that out of her system. no onto what really matters, in the middle of this violent occupation. ]

Also, I want someone to teach me to write.

[theguideless]

H-huh?

[hang on, he needs to jump tracks to this train of thought.]

Um. N...Not really. [slight pause. a little quieter, because he's not entirely sold, either:] I'm a hunter.

[flightlessbird]

Oh. Then why are you Martin, and not what means "hunter"?

[theguideless]

[huh? another pause.]

Be...because Martin is my name, not what I do.

[flightlessbird]

Then why does it mean "warrior", if you do not fight?

[theguideless]

[wait--]

My name means warrior?

[flightlessbird]

Yes, Martin said it does.

[theguideless]

[...]

Oh, you mean...the older one.

[flightlessbird]

I don't know. I mean Martin.

[theguideless]

Y-yeah, the...the Martin other than me. He's older.

[flightlessbird]

Then, yes, him. He does not seem like a warrior either.

[theguideless]

[a pause.]

I think...I think he's really strong, though.

[flightlessbird]

Really? How strong?

[theguideless]

[another pause. he's not sure if he's allowed to share these things...]

I saw him control fire. And...and snow. It was...[terrifying.] Powerful.

[flightlessbird]

[ considering that for a few seconds...! ]

Like a dragon?

[theguideless]

[man that word is nothing but nightmares since the second he learned it. an audible gulp.]

Uhm. No, I...I don't think like that. I...I don't know.

[flightlessbird]

Oh. [ so disappointed!! ] Then I will have to see him do it.

[theguideless]

[far awaaaay from him he hopes.]

Y-yeah...I guess.

[flightlessbird]

You can't do things like that, even though you are Martin too. [ so skeptically! ] Can you?
