I have my own pack of wolves in one game and a flock of birds in the other! How will I ever tend to so many animals, Lady Mun? (Yet her eyes are bright and shining.) I am grateful the two groups are not joined - or else I would have time to do naught else but tend to them.

(Pokémon are a special breed, of course, so she is being a little dramatic. Playfully so.)

Now let us think of names for the pups.

Oh hi hope you don't mind a random Sandor, but this woke him up like whoa

[no_ser]

Look at you. Slipped through the bars of your cage, and yet it pleases you to stand here clucking like a mother hen.

(The snarling words belie just how much it shakes him, seeing her like this; that light in her eyes has long been extinguished in his world.)

(His voice changes, something like wonder creeping in under the rasping edges.)

There's a song I never thought to hear you sing.

Why would I mind a Sandor? :D

[stonebird]

(She hasn't seen him in some time - a long time if she is completely honest with herself. Even so, she has thought of him often and...perhaps awkwardly. Dreams can be oh so bothersome.

Her cheeks flush at his tone and she gives him a shy smile.)

Do I really sound like a mother? (It can't be helped. Little wolves and baby Pokémon demand that sort of care and attention.) I wish you could see them. They are impressive in their own right and -

(No, that isn't what she wants to say.)

How are you?

i am so sorry

[acoatofgold]

A mother, at your age... Tell me, do the Starks always whelp litters, or are you particularly blessed?

no you're not. >8| bless you.

I prefer pups over kittens. (Your family kept wanting her to have weird lion-wolf hybrids. Which actually look pretty amazing.) I have chosen to raise these children; it was not forced on me.

you're right i am not

[acoatofgold]

A small wonder. Pups can be easily brought to heel, but cats are of a wilder sort.

[is that tyrion's doing? it has to be tyrion]

[stonebird]

A lack of discipline is not something to boast about, ser.

[so the elder Stark girl has teeth after all. is it fair, tormenting her, given that she's about Joffrey's age? probably not. but she will face worse from court, if she hasn't already, and life is hardly fair.]

So in the North, one's value is determined by whose fingers he licks at following a feast?

[stonebird]

(Teeth that she has been sharpening in hiding. Littlefinger has given her excellent guidance - even if she is not fond of his methods. Anyone is better than Joffrey.)

I would rather lick the fingers of a Northman than sit on a throne beside the Southern King.

[he's from a far earlier point in time, but he's able to piece together what she means. there had been rumors that His Grace wanted to bond the Baratheon and Stark houses by marriage.]

An opinion I'm sure you share with most, given the boy involved.

[should he be saying this? probably not. but he's not about to defend that brat of a child, even to a Northerner.]
