This man wonders about your interest. What can this man expect? More...adventures? It is fair to say this man can find many adventures on his own and some of them have nothing to do with cages or stray wolves.
[an arched brow, cocked head, and plenty of attitude. then he flashes a grin. he loves telling a good story, if he's the star]
S'pose I could. Right. Not tha' long ago, a boy an' his mother were starvin', so the boy--that's me--went an' sold 'is only friend. His cow. Wha' he got for 'im was five magic beans. Bu' his mother said "Whot were you thinkin?!" an' threw 'em away. [he pauses a moment, frowning, before he continues on, getting progressively more excited. he's just going to pretend for a while that his family's together and everything's okay]
An' what sprung right out o' the ground was this great beanstalk. [he starts to climb a nearby, crooked tree] The boy climbed it all th' way t' th clouds, an' once he got t' the top . . .
He met giants in the sky. Great, big, terrible giants in the sky.
The lady giant fed 'im, gave 'im rest, an' they got on fine. Jus' when he though' they could be friends-- [he jumps down to a lower branch with a great STOMP] A giant bigger than her came stompin' down th' hall t' swallow 'im for lunch! So he cut his losses, stole some gold, an' climbed back down. [he scurries about the tree animatedly as he talks] He bought back 'is cow with five gold pieces as big as my 'ead. Bu' they were still starvin', so the boy climbed back up t' the sky. He went an' stole a hen that laid golden eggs an' a singin' harp.
But this time, the giant followed 'im! So he got t' the bottom and chopped tha' beanstalk down, an' the giant came CRASHIN' t' the ground! [Jack drops down to the earth] Shook th' whole kingdom!
The mother an' her boy lived pretty cozy after tha'. 'Course, it was only my happy endin', if I stop there. The lady giant came back for revenge . . . bu' that's a sadder story.
A man is hard to forget. I'm not a stray wolf. I know where I'm going. [It will lead to her revenge. Or freedom from the £$%&! Lannisters. Right now, either is good, though revenge is better]
