[ It's late, and, save for the one source of light, it's quite clearly dark out. For a moment, there's not even any sound on the video apart from what trickles in from the late Wyver crowd on the street. Loras opens his mouth several times before he finally decides on which words to say. ]

My sister's decided to leave. That is, returning to stasis. I'll never fault her for any choice she makes. She's always thought things through completely before acting. I'm not entirely certain how I'll manage without her, really, and it's already very strange.

I suppose, mostly, I wanted to let everyone know. I know that she has many friends and I've no idea if she's spoken of this to many, if anyone at all. In case you began to wonder what's become of her. I've got faith that she'll return again when the time is right.

[ There's another lull of silence before the video ends. ]

Decided?

[triplerose]

I believe that she doesn't feel that this is her time yet. Whatever grand design we're here for. Just as well, hopefully when she wakes this conflict between Olympia and Wyver will be solved.

I am not acquainted with your sister, but I am sorry to hear it. Though, you seem to think she has planned this- is that possible?

[reek]

Your sister did not decide to do anything.

[triplerose]

If you've come here with nothing but harsh words, I'll let you know now that you're wasting your time.

[triplerose]

Perhaps not, but I'd never be surprised if she worded it to make me think so.

[reek]

Well, you've found your tongue.

[ He snorts, bordering on laughter. ]

My words only sound harsh to your Southron ears, but I'm telling you the truth. My sister was deathly ill when she returned to stasis. That was not her decision. Robb Stark did not decide to leave his siblings behind.

[ And Ramsay is only back in stasis because he was killed, but that one's best left unsaid. ]

What makes your own sister so different?

[triplerose]

Your words are always harsh, to all ears.

[ He doesn't like talking to you, Theon. ]

[verflair]

Did you have a chance to speak to her ere she returned to stasis?

[triplerose]

Not as much as I'd have liked to.

It hardly matters now. I've never done well without her, though.

I do not believe that is how this works, Loras Tyrell.

[ be that as it may, he might be slightly more tactful than the Turncloak.

but only slightly. ]

[verflair]

I know not what help a near perfect stranger could be, but if there is aught I can do, please let me know.

[triplerose]

We all believe what suits us best.

[ A pause. ]

How are you faring, Lord Stannis?

[triplerose]

Thank you. I do appreciate the sentiment.

[verflair]

I’ve done nothing worth thanking, my friend.

If I may ask, are you currently settled in Wyver or Olympia?

[ Have a sympathetic look from Steve. He knows what it's like to lose someone to stasis, particularly this month. ]

You and your sister were close?

[triplerose]

Wyver. We found it suited us better than Olympia, where the others from our home chose to go.

[triplerose]

[ Thank you, Steve. It seems kind words or sympathy are hard to come by. ]

We are. We keep no secrets from one another, I trust her with everything.

[verflair]

We are of the same mind, then. This place reminds me a bit more of my home, but I daresay Olympia did not make the best impression shortly after I arrived, either.

I wasn't aware the process was voluntary.

[Though, if it is, she's sympathetic. It isn't impossible to imagine it being a desirable choice.]

Either way, I'm terribly sorry.

[reek]

Did you hear nothing else I said?

[ It's mutual, Loras. ]

[triplerose]

Oh? I hadn't minded Olympia, but Wyver also reminded me of home. I'm sorry to hear you had a poor experience, but selfishly I'm glad to have a friend here.

[triplerose]

None of it changes the fact that, regardless of reason or motive, she's returned to her sleep.

[triplerose]

In any event, she's gone back. It will take some getting used to.

[reek]

No, it doesn't.

[ At least they can agree on that much, even if they've never agreed on anything else. ]

My sister returned as well, some time back. You spoke to me then. My uncle returned after her, and then Robb shortly thereafter. They say there's a chance they may wake again, but I don't know how much of it I believe.
