[ When the video feed flickers on, it catches the girl from an extreme angle. She comes into clear view as she holds up the tablet and frowns at it.

The face is familiar, but there are differences. Thin always, she's too skinny now; her eyes are almost too big on her face. Her hair is a little longer and raggedly cut. Her clothes, a once fine page's garb, have turned to rags.

Sitting on the ground, Arya turns the tablet over. Her legs and the ground come briefly into view. She tosses the tablet aside with a frustrated sound. Enjoy that shot of the sky. Well. Clouds. ]

This is all stupid.

[ Too bad Kate doesn't realize she'll be affected in about a day's time and forget her concern. ]

Cat, are you alright?

video (except she stays off-screen gj kid)

[innominata]

[ By now, she's figured out people know her by Cat. So Kate is spared the "who are you talking to" questions. ]

Yes.

[gevurah]

[ It hasn't been too long since they've seen each other. What the hell is happening in this place? ]

Where are you?

[innominata]

Why do you want to know?

[gevurah]

I want to make sure you're not too far from the city.

[innominata]

I'm fine.

[gevurah]

That's not a yes or no.

[innominata]

That's what you're getting.

[gevurah]

Cat.

[innominata]

[ Ignoring. YOU'RE NOT HER MOM B( ]

[gevurah]

[ HEY. ]

Cat, I'm just worried.

[innominata]

I'm fine.

[gevurah]

Your hair is different. [ But she may recognize Kate? It's too vague to tell. ] Do you remember Exsilium?

[innominata]

[ She's lifting both hands to her hair and glaring at the tablet out of the corner of her eye. ]

It's hair. No one cares.

[gevurah]

Hair doesn't grow out in a week.

[innominata]

It hasn't. That's stupid.

[gevurah]

[ Still hasn't answered the previous question. ]

You don't remember being here.

[innominata]

[ petulant silence ]

[gevurah]

[ An exasperated noise that's gone as soon as it came. ]

I'm a friend, Cat.

[innominata]

I don't have friends.

[gevurah]

You have your wolf.

[innominata]

[ pause ]

That's different.

[gevurah]

How?

[innominata]

She's a wolf.

[gevurah]

A wolf is more appealing than another person?
