(Sansa never forgets her manners, so she begins this post with a curtsy.)

Lady Mun, I have a favor to ask of you if you are in the mood to hear it?

(Cautiously, she averts her eyes and crosses her hands in front of her.)

If you desire to send me somewhere, please do not make it too horrible? I have heard stories from your other muses and -

(Her cheeks pink.)

They frighten me.

[Aw.]

I hope she sends you somewhere nice. [Because you seem nice so far.] I've seen some of the places and—they're not so great.

[princessofwinterfell]

I hope she will come to the same conclusion. (Sansa bows her head, unsure what rank - if any - Aang might hold.) I had feared as much. Do you have experience in such places?

[twinkle_toes]

[He shakes his head, a frown edging his way onto his face.]

Not in the really weird places. I've only ever been in a dream world, and everyone's always been really nice there. [Minus the guy who killed his best friend. But no need to talk about that.] Does she already have an idea of where she wants to take you, or is she still thinking about it right now?

[princessofwinterfell]

I believe she is still in the thinking process. (Which is of some comfort.) Can you tell me more about this dream world of yours?

[twinkle_toes]

It's called Somarium.

It's a city in the middle of a desert. [Another frown as he thinks about it.] I guess that sounds kind of weird, but it's really actually pretty nice. There's lots of things to do there, like go shopping or go to the amusement park or hang out with your friends.

[Bright smile!] Or you can visit Nessie! She's really sweet.

[Yes, Aang is very fond of the local lake monster.]

[a_summer_child]

... you mean, scary places with monsters?

[princessofwinterfell]

Not all monsters can be seen with the naked eye.

[princessofwinterfell]

It does sound nice. (Maybe she wouldn't mind going to a place like that.) Who's Nessie if you don't mind me asking?

(Sansa's bright blue eyes are fixed on Aang in wonder.)

[twinkle_toes]

[And Somarium welcomes everyone with open arms. Aang, in the meantime, will take a few moments to excitedly chatter about his lake friend.]

She's the monster that lives in the lake! Except she's not actually a monster because she's really nice, and she lets me ride on her back all the time, but everyone else thinks she's a monster because she looks kind of scary. But I think she just looks like a really big, friendly unagi.

[He directs his wide smile at Sansa.]

I'd bet she'd love to meet you too.

[greenjacketed]

...Asking them so politely never seems to help, ma'am.

[princessofwinterfell]

(Forgive her for this long pause. You do favor her father. Her deceased father.)

I do not think being rude would gain me much ground either.

[princessofwinterfell]

U...Unagi? (It's easier to focus on the foreign word. Sansa doesn't think she would have courage to ride on the back of such a large creature.) I'm not sure I would be able to -

(She takes a deep breath.) Are you certain she isn't dangerous?

[twinkle_toes]

[Empathetic nod.]

She would never hurt anyone. In fact, she saved my friend Sokka when he first showed up in Somarium. He landed right in the lake and if she hadn't been there to fish him out, he might have drowned.

[greenjacketed]

Suppose not, what with you being just a slip of a girl. [ a partway sympathetic sigh. ] Still, being polite never seems to get us anywhere.
