video ♚ so take another breath

[wolfskin]

[ the feed flicks on to show (1) one king and the head of (1) one direwolf looking over his shoulder. the wolf snorts at the device, lips curling to bare sharp white teeth. he was no love for the tablet it seems. ]

Greetings Exsilium, I have a query for you.

[ his words are a touch uncertain. ]

I know it is not queer for men to disappear and then return, it happens often enough to be considered normal on this island. When they disappear they either return with no knowledge of Exsilium or they return changed; older, wiser than they were before.

Has any ever returned unchanged? [ he understands the reason behind his disappearance, though is by no means pleased, yet he feels unchanged and it bothers him. mayhaps it is nothing and he worries for naught, mayhaps. either way it will not hurt to at least ask. ]

[She wants to argue for arguments sake here. That he doesn't know what he's talking about, but even here and now and after everything, denying it seems wrong. So she keeps her lips drawn down.]

He's with his Crows. I've no doubt about that. [It's said with a sting, a reminder that his brother is always loyal, that there's so much more to this story than boy meets girl.]

Aye, nor do I. [ that is where he is supposed to be, the only place he can be now. ] He has always been a loyal man.

But still a man nonetheless. [It's both said with a smirk, and to point out just how flawed that statement is.]

Y'can have all the rules y'want in the south, don't make a man less o' a man.

[ boy does he know, or more he will know in the future and he doesn't know now. ha haha. ]

You are right.

[His admission actually has her pause, not expecting those words from his mouth.]

So you would not take your brother's head for deserting? [Because there is a worry for his safety beyond what happens to her.]
