Voice testing this "boy" :3c

[starktomboy]

[She may just be a bit exasperated with mun right now. Though she was promised she could see her siblings and thus she came.]

Well? You have me here. [She's impatient about this.]

It's not like you aren't doing a favor for me, by bringing me here. I suppose some thanks are in order. [Still unsure you deserve it though.]

I am sick to death of games, but you promised me my siblings. You said my family was here somewhere.

[She just runs a hand through her short scraggly locks, brushing them out of her face.]

[Yes. She's so clever. Their father orchestrated the whole thing even if he'd intended to leave with her and for her not to be going to the Wall. It was the best Yoren could come up with.]

Good thing to them, I'm not a lady. I'm Arry the orphan, being sent to the Wall to be trained as a Night's Watch recruit.

[She unfastens Needle from it's place at her side to give herself a bit more comfort being latched onto her brother like this. Better to hug him!]

I didn't trick him, actually. It was something we did spur of the moment because of father- [Her words catch. She can't say it. because of Father's execution. Say it, Arya.]

[starkbastard]

[Jon gives her an unimpressed look]

Fine. The Wall is no place for girls. [He emphasizes on the word to make his point, though his tone is mildly teasing.

There's some pride and relief to see that Arya still has Needle with her. Jon wonders if she heeded his advice and practice at it every day. His own sward, Longclaw, is still faithfully strapped to his back.]

So he would have brought you to Winterfell?

[He hugs her more closely as she speaks of their father. He can't say much about him out loud too, and he knows her pain.]

It's all right, Arya. I am sure Father would be relieved if he could know that you are safe now. [Safe, well and away from the Lannisters, or so Jon thinks.]

[starktomboy]

[Momentary glower to match your unimpressed look, brother.]

I think. Had things not gotten so derailed. [She sighs, reluctantly freeing herself from their embrace.] I do not know how safe we are, given what my lady writer has told me. Though it would be nice if we were to be in the same place once more.

[Nowhere could be worse than the things she's seen since leaving Winterfell.]

[starkbastard]

[Jon manages to keep the amused smile on his lips to a minimum. Arya's glower isn't scaring him, obviously. He let goes of her, as reluctantly as her, but his sister is almost a woman grown now and he probably should treat her as much.

He nods slowly]

As long as we are together, we will keep one another safe, I am sure. [And by that he means that he's going to keep a close eye on her] And who knows, perhaps the rest of our family will join us too.

[starktomboy]

[She considers his words a moment, torn between wanting to see her family again and wanting them safe and away from wherever her Lady Writer intends to send her though it cannot be worse than what she's left behind.]

You mean to follow me everywhere, don't you? [She smiles. Oh, big brother she is on to you.]

[starkbastard]

[He's learned that there's nothing he can do to stop his mundane from sending him to terrible places. But nothing can't be as bad as the He gives a sort of faked offended air, though his smile is showing]

I would never think of doing such thing, Arya! I'll just merely keep you company all the time.

[Family is all that they will have in this world]

[starktomboy]

[She gives him a small smile, appreciating the joking and the familiarity of it.]

I am unopposed to that. I've missed you...

[And she lapses into a silence for a moment before it occurs to her that they've been talking about her and what she's been doing and yet she hadn't the mind to ask him what The Wall had been like.]

How have things been with you in that place? The Wall... and wherever else your Writer has sent you.

[She knew now that there were dangerous men in that place - men far less honorable and kind than her brother.]
