You’re now chatting with dualhound ... Say hi!

How come I have to have a "silver turd" and a "blind dude" as roommates? They both suck!
Who came up with this idea? This is stupid.

Might kick them out. They're too noisy.

Does anyone even like their roommates? Mine are annoying. Let's do a trade.

GET OUT! NOBODY ASKED YOU!

[northborn]

I needn't be asked when I am spoken of in such disparaging, false terms in public.
It is my right to correct Nakatsu.

[silverhound]

Stop being so whiny about everything and work this drama out!

You sound like a bad soap opera. Worse than "Loveless"!

[northborn]

How, may I ask, is this worse than your topic subject - prattling childishly on about trading roommates?

Threadjack

[ex_jelmazmo599]

Interesting. Tyrion failed to inform me how the highborn of Westeros enjoy airing their grievances in public.

( Like smallfolk at an audience. This is embarrassing, guys. )

[silverhound]

Who the hell is this?! MORE PEOPLE?!

[ex_jelmazmo599]

One would assume there would be people on a platform meant for contacting people.

[silverhound]

[Okay, she got him there but still--]

Lemme guess, you're his sister! You gotta be if you know these two pests.

[ex_jelmazmo599]

His Queen, in fact. You would find his behaviour exemplary when compared to my brother's.

all threadjacks all the time

[nakatsu]

Wait you know these guys??

[PLEASE GIVE HIM SOME CONTEXT ON THIS WORLD]

[ex_jelmazmo599]

We have the happy circumstance of sharing a homeland.

[nakatsu]

okay does everyone there fight as much as these these guys? is it like the national sport?

[silverhound]

Dude, I need popcorn! We gotta get some! It's getting good!

[ex_jelmazmo599]

I haven't been home in some time, but I've been told that it became a popular pastime.

( Neither a problem nor a boon for her, all told. Simply a mess she'll have to clean up. )

dany pls

[northborn]

[ That draws him up short. Impressive, how easy it is to forget the world is watching while using... what had some called it? Social media? ]

Your grace.

[ It wouldn't be terribly far-fetched to imagine him bowing his head at his table. Perhaps he can deflect. ]

Pardon me for saying so, but trusted advisor that Tyrion Lannister may be to you now, he knows little of the North and what it remembers.

robb no

[ex_jelmazmo599]

Lord Stark.

( This is shameful behaviour, and she isn't about to brook it from anyone hailing from their homeland. )

He has never claimed otherwise, and I know even less. But were I to follow your example, the lot of you would be buried beneath an entire mountain of slights.

You're both grown men, and lords besides. You represent more than your respective Houses here. Whatever else you remember, let that be the foremost of all.

thread...jack...?

[reek]

He is no longer Lord Stark. The correct title is Your Grace. He is owed the same respect as you.

[ And that just says it all. Basically, Theon can spit on Robb's name, he can hate that that title is what got him killed him in the end, but others should still grant him respect.

Theon doesn't have to though. ]

[ex_jelmazmo599]

When I recognized your sister as my equal, it was because she had approached me as such. Something only one of you has done.

( And then there's a long pause before she'll continue: )

Neither of you are behaving as men worthy of that status. Conduct yourself with some sense and maturity, and then speak to me again.

[northborn]

[ This stuns him. He reads over the text at least five times before realizing he hasn't imagined it.

But he does not respond.

There aren't languages enough in Westeros to express the confusion of emotions splintering within. ]

[northborn]

[ He hesitates to correct her, but attacks from all sides and the exhaustion of a day or more's worth of arguments that have more often than not come to blows have taken their toll on him. It's little wonder he deigned to intervene in this post to begin with. ]

Your Grace, I wore a crown in death, as you do in life. And Theon Greyjoy bore a similar, if lesser, title - though he enjoyed it not, so far from home.

I cannot refute your claims that our feud may be unbecoming of our rank in present company. That much, for my part, I will endeavor to shield you and others from in future.

[ex_jelmazmo599]

( When last they'd met, her guard had been lowered. Now, as in the first, there is an undercurrent of tension, of unease in her. She cannot afford to trust those whom had turned upon her father and brother.

But she spoke true with Theon, and so she finds herself unable to offer too harsh a rebuttal. )

I know little and less of it, from having been told the same. Your kin once bent the knee to my forebearer. That much, I am aware of.

( She absolutely feels a sense of ownership and right to those lands that have ceased to be. They straddle an odd precipice where they can't forget their past in a place where it no longer holds any weight. )

It is as unbecoming as it is a danger to you. You should reveal nothing to those you don't know. I accept your concession.

And thank you.

threadjacks here too

[unprays]

Forgive my brother, Your Grace. His words are harsh and ill-placed, yet not without reason. Just as Lord Tyrion's words to threaten his nephew, the King, at our wedding feast, were not without reason.

[ so really, it may well be that the highborn of Westeros do enjoy airing their grievances in public... the Lannisters, at any rate. the Starks had little grievances to air, until now. ]

[ex_jelmazmo599]

I was given but the most vague context of that situation by my Hand when this kraken and his sister presented themselves before me. I understand there is bad blood here.

( A beat. )

But that may be handled in private. None of us know who has already had an earful of this feud. I made an offer to mediate for them when and where they wish.

That should suffice, when they are ready.

( They've made their homeland, and thus, her look the worse with their behaviour. But she's also in her way attempting to shield them from the possible fallout of it. )

[unprays]

It is a long story, one that has been discussed here far too much already.

[ read: she agrees. ]

With your mediation, I am sure they will find a peaceful solution... even if Theon deserves none.

[ex_jelmazmo599]

I would like to hear it privately at some point if you would, my lady.

( This is a Westerosi affair, after all. )

He was much different when I met him in Meereen; this place can control either one's memory or time itself.

I will do my utmost. We are all that remains.
