New Muse

[canals]

I can learn whatever it is you want me to, but idling about in your head is worse a punishment. I should be training, I should be fighting. I want to do something. This is boring, and you've no idea what you're doing.

As usual.

Guess who~

[rockofages]

And what do you want to learn?

:3

[canals]

Death, assassination, disguises and ruses. What I'm supposed to be doing.

Re: :3

[rockofages]

[A pause and then a wide smile.]

Well then... I think you are in the right place, little one.

[canals]

I'm not little. I'm just short for my age.

[All of the glaring.] You're not one of the Faceless.

[rockofages]

My apologies then, Miss.

[All the grinning in return.]
No.. I am better than they.

[canals]

No one is better then them. That's why they are the Faceless.

[rockofages]

Oh, but I am. [He vanishes and appears behind her.]

I can do more than they ever could.

[canals]

[She watches him intensely, spinning after he reappeared.]

Every man can say that.

[rockofages]

It helps that I am no man, child.

[canals]

Well you're not a girl. [Gesturing.]

[rockofages]

[A laugh.] I have been once or twice in my time. And other things.

[canals]

What does that even mean? [She has a hand on her hip, staring him down.]

[rockofages]

It means this... [He changes, body shifting to become a near identical woman with a length of braided hair.]

Can your faceless men do this?

[canals]

[She knew the Faceless often used magic, but not quite like that.]

[...not impressed.]

Why would they want to do that?

[rockofages]

You asked for disguises did you not?

[canals]

I have been a boy before, but-- not like that.

[rockofages]

[He shifts back and crosses his arms looking down at her.]

What else can you do?

[canals]

I can kill.

[rockofages]

Very good. But can you do it well?

[canals]

Sort of. I mean they are dead and I have not been caught. But the Faceless teach one to be better.

[rockofages]

Very impressive for one so young.

What is it that you wish to be?

[canals]

An assassin. [Duh.]

[rockofages]

And who do you wish to kill? Whoever you are paid to or is there a specific name?

[canals]

Oh, there is a list.

[rockofages]

Excellent.

What is your name, my little Assassin?

[canals]

I don't have a name. They call me Cat of the Canals.

[rockofages]

Everything has a name, little cat. But you may keep your secrets.

[canals]

Not if you're in the Faceless Men. You aren't the same person.

[rockofages]

Then you have shed yourself of what you were?

Admerible in one so young.

[canals]

I'm... supposed to. Not very good at it.

[rockofages]

Will you keep trying?

[canals]

I will be one of the Faceless. [So determined.]

[rockofages]

I admire you determination, little Cat. And wish you but the best.

But tell me do you seek order or merely vengence?

[canals]

The Faceless believe in order, but the people I'll kill have already taken too much.

[missmanners]

While a certain measure of caution should always be taken by those who browse the ASOIAF tag, it's rude to put spoilers in your journal title and thus make then unavoidable for the poor souls who happen to click through.

[missmanners]

Ah, and I see haven't warned for spoilers! That is very rude indeed, dearie, you should be ashamed.

[boundtodeath]

[Eyes Mrs. Mannerrs.]

Feh. Muses be warned. The nymphs are loose.

[Hands on hips, looking at Arya.]

Ignore the voices of the naughty nymphs, my dear. They do enjoy teasing the gods, but set them upon mortals and suddenly they think they are mothers. [She reaches up and fixes her plaited crown braid.] Terrible nannies, anyways...

[Hands go back to her hips.]

Now then. If idleness irks you, why not force your way out of the bleakness?

[canals]

Ugh. I am not worried. [Because what even. The girl simply goves a look.]

I'll have a canon account eventually I promise...

[amandoes]

a girl must have patience. Being idle can be a gift.

no worries~

[canals]

There is nothing to do. I am bored.

What happened to your hair?

[amandoes]

[Shrug] a man can cut it if he likes. The same could be asked about yours.

[canals]

It should be longer, but this was all I had to work with.

It looks weird. [Of course that's what she comments on. This is Arya's way of saying she's glad to see him.]

[amandoes]

A girl may think what she likes, and a man will continue to do as he pleases.

[And with a smile, that's his way of saying he's glad to see her too.]

[canals]

I'm not surprised. Even if it looks dumb. [Insults just mean love, okay?]
