Voice-testing; possibly heading to distantskies.

You say the name is a joke, but I do not find the humor in it.

I do not have the time for this nor do I find this distraction endearing. My father is dead, Winterfell has fallen and my family -

My family is scattered to all corners of the Seven Kingdoms. What more can I do?

[littleorphanarry]

I keep telling my mun that I want to go back to Westeros but she won't let me. And everytime I do something bad happens.

[wolfhead]

Arya-

[ Deep breath. ]

It might be better. At least until we have Winterfell again and there is somewhere for you to be safe.

[littleorphanarry]

But Robb I don't want to be in this stupid place. I want to be with you and Mother.

[wolfhead]

An army on campaign is no place for a girl your age.

[ This is his "no arguing" voice.

If only he knew what Arya had been through. ]

[littleorphanarry]

I can take care of myself.

[This one will still argue though.]

[wolfhead]

That doesn't mean I want you to spend the next six months in a war camp. I've already lost my brothers, I'm not about to lose my younger sister as well.

[ Good thing they're both stubborn. ]

[littleorphanarry]

[Bitterly:] You're not the only one who lost Bran and Rickon.

[wolfhead]

[ Ouch. And she's right. Robb doesn't flinch, but there's definitely a note of apology in his voice. ]

Arya - I'm only thinking of what's best for you. I want you to be safe.

[ He crouches, partially so they can be face-to-face for this and partially so he can get a better look at his sister. ]

[littleorphanarry]

And I want to be with you. Please, Robb. I just want to go home.

[wolfhead]

It's only for a while longer. Just until we have Winterfell back, I promise.

[littleorphanarry]

[That could take forever. It's not as simple as wishing/willing it to be. She looks down at her feet for a moment. When Arya looks back to Robb, there's determination there in her eyes.]

I only stay at the Observatory if you come. Otherwise, I'll do all sorts of things like fight the Dead or go flying or talk to Andalites or sleep outside and not take baths.

[wolfhead]

[ What have they been teaching you? B| ]

Fight the Dead? What is an Andalite-?

Arya.

[littleorphanarry]

[She grins almost wickedly.]

You better hurry, Robb. I might start to get fleas again.

[wolfhead]

Fleas?

[ Scandalized. Simply scandalized. ]

You and I are going to have words.

[littleorphanarry]

Is that a promise?

[wolfhead]

Yes.

[littleorphanarry]

I'll be sure to listen to every word then.

[ha, no.]

[wolfhead]

[ Ugh. fine. He can't help but laugh. It's good to see her again. Really. ]

I'm sure you will.

[littleorphanarry]

[She smiles wide before throwing her arms around him tight.]

I promise I will.

[wolfhead]

[ And he hugs her back. She's family. ]

I'll hold you to that.

[bindsthedead]

I wish you luck in finding them, then.

Although my mundane tells me I've already met one.

[wolfhead]

Thank you. Although I would rather have more swords and more time than luck.

[ Huh. ]

Have you?

[bindsthedead]

Hopefully, you will be able to find both, through the window.

Yes. 'Arry', as I know him-her- nevermind, they were my guest in Belisaere for a time, and attended my wedding. [And Sabriel taught her some stuff about swords and promised to let her tag along when she fought the Dead.]

[wolfhead]

I doubt anything will be that easy.

[ He actually manages a laugh for that. ]

'Arry'? Is that what she called herself? That's clever.

[ Beat. ]

I am afraid I never heard of Belisaere, but my congratulations on your wedding, my lady.

[secondguessing]

You might be needed here, nevertheless.

[wolfhead]

Needed? For what?

[secondguessing]

Your sister is [ lonely 8( ] perhaps in need of guidance.

[wolfhead]

[ Bawwww :( ]

Isn't she always....

[magical_melonhead]

You could always drown yourself in some good mead.

[wolfhead]

I a not going to become some sort of drunkard.

[magical_melonhead]

Then what do you plan to do? Why can't your family find their own way home?

[wolfhead]

I am going to take back our home and find our family. One way or another.

[magical_melonhead]

.... *He tilts his head and flicks his tail, he was turning this over in his mind carefully. He never really understood the connections people had with their family.*

What happens if you cannot?

[wolfhead]

Then we will all die.

[magical_melonhead]

...What in the world has your family been doing, to get themselves into such a mess?

[wolfhead]

That is a very long story.

[magical_melonhead]

If it makes you feel any better... I've seen families in worse situations. Although they're suffering never last too long, I do my best to help if I can.
