[With the matter of jobs settled, there was less on his mind and less focus on how he would survive. With more time on his hands, he was able to turn to helping the rest of the survivors, especially those that he had spoken to. Whatever reason they had been brought here, they needed to band together to survive.]

I know not everyone present has had to learn combat or come from places that are generally peaceful. Whether or not we stay in this city or travel somewhere more dangerous, it is wise to learn how to protect yourselves.

For those that have an interest, I practice and train in the courtyard among the other guards. If you want to wield a blade or understand basic defense, come and meet me there. I will teach and train you.

No kidding it is. It's a lesson that took me a little to learn but I think I do just fine with it now.

[Maybe a little too fine. Mai isn't known for being one to check her tongue when it comes to her thoughts after all.]

You have a sister, hm? I have a brother.

[He nodded, trying to force away the memories of his lost brothers and sister. They were in the pods now, Robb and Sansa were awake. It didn't remove the painful images of Rickon dead on the field, Arya when Jon last saw her and Bran asleep and broken in his bed.]

She's asleep. [The one Mai reminded him of.] Sansa and Robb, you'll meet in time.

Is your brother here?

[Mai gives her head a slight shake.]

I'm kind of glad he isn't. I'm not sure how he would handle being away from both my mother and father. He's too young for that.

[song_of_ice]

Your mother and father aren't in stasis?

Is there anyone you know there?

[maipokerface]

They are. Everyone from my world is... I guess. Otherwise they're hiding out pretty effectively since I haven't run across them.

[That and she swears everyone she knows is lined up in a pod. Her mother, her father, her baby brother, Zuko ... all the way down to people she barely knows.]
