Homeless and (Possibly) Looking at abaxcity or thenetwork

[ofthelaughingtree]

You wish to send me to a city of ghosts? A city where the sun never rises and each shadow holds a new danger?

[Lyanna was a Stark of Winterfell. Even if she had not been taught to wield a sword and make use of a bow from an early age, she would not have allowed her fears to rule her.]

Very well. What do the dead have to fear from ghosts? I would rather face those dangers than be abducted by another prince who would claim me for his own.

[She has no desire to travel that road again. Once was more than enough and far too much.]

Oh, Prince Tristan isn't the one doing the kidnapping, not that I imagine that particular technicality matters much to you, considering the fact that it's still, technically, for all intents and purposes, a complete abduction, resulting in lost time, temporal displacement, and incredible vertigo...

[ofthelaughingtree]

But we are being snatched from our homes as potential brides, are we not?

[headcasey]

Well...yeah...

[ofthelaughingtree]

Then you cannot blame me for holding him responsible.

Are you part of this game?

[headcasey]

Y-yes. I don't want to be there, though. It's not a game. I fully understand that. These are people's lives, being interrupted.

Mine too.

[ofthelaughingtree]

If you are not the one responsible for the interruption, you cannot be blamed for it.

[Besides, if a resident of that world is sympathetic to their plight, they may become an ally in time.]

[headcasey]

Of course not! I would never do that to people. I'm a human. We're not that effective...

[ofthelaughingtree]

We can be capable enough. The Nysgods will learn that in time.

[headcasey]

Wh-what do you mean? You wouldn't try fighting them, would you?

[ofthelaughingtree]

I would prefer to reason with them.

My family will fight, even if I do not. They will not leave me imprisoned.

[headcasey]

Reason is good. I like reason. I encourage reason.

[ofthelaughingtree]

We must hope that it prevails.
