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. ]

You can come back with your memories?

[vaccination]

Holy fuck you do know there's a giant wolf behind you, right?

(Video)

[wolfskin]

Apparently so.

(Video)

[braavado]

That's just great. What do they even do, randomly decide who gets to remember and who doesn't?

What is their deal?

[ LANGUAGE YOUNG LADY.

robb casts a glance behind himself, at the wolf still peering suspiciously at the tablet. he bites back a laugh. ]

His name is Grey Wind and he is no normal wolf. [ if that wasn't obvious enough already. ]

voice;

[vaccination]

I goddamn hope he's no normal wolf, because I think you'd be missing limbs otherwise! Jesus.

Where did you even find him? No one told me about mutant wolves in this place.

(Video)

[wolfskin]

I do not believe they choose as you say, their machine seems to be as much a mystery to them as it is to us. [ that is how it appears, at least. ]

[wolfskin]

[ heh missing limbs. ]

There are none that I have seen, Grey Wind is of my world. He arrived with me.

voice;

[vaccination]

People keep things like that as pets in your world?

[She's totally forgotten that this guy was actually asking questions. The giant wolf scared the shit out of her.]

(Video)

[braavado]

You know what I think? They should've just left the machine alone if they didn't know how to use it!

[Suddenly, she deflates.]

Sorry. It's not you I should be getting mad at.

[wolfskin]

No, not exactly. Grey Wind is a Direwolf; they are the larger, more intelligent, and more deadly cousin of wolves. Only five exist within the Seven Kingdoms, all belonging to the members of my House.

[ if grey wind didn't frighten someone there is something certainly wrong with the world. the beast in question huffs, edging forward until his muzzle hovers just above robb's shoulder. ]

voice;

[vaccination]

Okay. That's sort of cool. Assuming he's not gonna eat anyone just because, anyway.

video;

[wolfskin]

I raised him myself, he does not attack unless provoked or my life is threatened.

[ nevermind he totally ate robb's best man's fingers once. WHOOP WHOOP. ]

voice;

[vaccination]

Must've been one hell of a puppy.

[She still sounds a little uncertain... but she kinda wants one.]

(Video)

[wolfskin]

[ he would be rise to anger, but what good would it do? ]

You needn't apologize, I understand your anger.

video

[fintastic]

Well, I did! A long time ago. Why, what happened, did someone go missing?

[ Her assumption is that he's worried about someone going back and returning changed for worse. ]

[governorkang]

[Whoa that is a direwolf do you know Cat?

He's still eyeing it a little warily after the initial surprise of seeing it, despite the fact that he himself is seven feet tall and not someone to be messed with.]

Yes and no. When I returned, I wasn't any older, but I had... changed. Regained memories of my past. What you most likely mean, though, I haven't heard of before.

[But it wouldn't surprise him to hear of it happening.]

(Video)

[braavado]

I don't think I'm going to be much help. I'm just as lost as you are.

[Now that her irritation's mostly receded, Korra notices the direwolf in the background...

And visibly cheers up. Probably not the reaction Robb usually gets for Grey Wind.]

Oh hey! I take it that one's yours?

[allucinator]

Have you?

voice

[boundbyheart]

Are you a wolf demon?

[Sorry, that's the only explanation she has for someone who can contain a wolf so easily. Plus...she kind of killed a pack of them, it would be good to know.]

[shrewdly]

[ it's a curious question — which is precisely why margaery chooses to take an interest, head tilted to the side, inquisitive. ]

Of all the magic we've seen, I would suspect it's a possibility. They do seem fond of their tricks and spectacles.

[ and he must have a reason for asking, she thinks, but that should be easy enough to deduce on her own. ]

video;

[wolfskin]

He was the size of a normal pup.

[ they are great ellie. ]

video

[wolfskin]

No, it was I who vanished only to return utterly unchanged from when I left. [ he fells no different, and his memories seem to be the same. ]

I may be worrying over nothing, but to lose a day like that is unsettling.
