[aliased]

how do you kill a santy claws? [ because he's got a list. and he's stalking children. and he sneaks into people's homes while dressed in red. and he's clearly a drunk.]

Comments

voice > because writing is HARD

[bullhorned]

[And yet he read it anyway. Wonder of wonders.]

He's not going on your list, is he?

voice > dummy

[aliased]

Maybe he is. He's got a list too.

voice >

[bullhorned]

What list? Are you on it?

voice >

[aliased]

It's a list of all the children. If they're good or bad. [ so yes, she's on it.]

voice >

[bullhorned]

No wonder you want to kill him. You would be on his bad list for certain.

voice >

[aliased]

Would not! [ she gives him a look.] It doesn't matter. I'm going to set Nymeria on him.

voice >

[bullhorned]

How will she know where to find him?

private voice >

[aliased]

Jon and I mean to set a trap. [ pause ] Do you know how to make cookies?

private voice >

[bullhorned]

No. Maybe. What do they look like? Are they sharp? [They sounded fearsome.]

private voice >

[aliased]

No. [ she laughs.] They're sweets. Like little cakes. Or like a sweet little bread.

private voice >

[bullhorned]

Sweets! [He scoffs.] Why would I know how to make bloody sweets?

private voice >

[aliased]

I don't know! I was only asking. Who knows what you've learned since coming here.

private voice >

[bullhorned]

Why would I have learned to make sweets? If it's a baker you wanted, the fairies ought to have brought you Hot Pie instead of me.

private voice >

[aliased]

I don't know. Why are you so cross? I was only asking.

private voice >

[bullhorned]

I'm not cross. It's just a stupid question, is all.

private voice >

[aliased]

It is not. I don't know all the things you know.

private voice >

[bullhorned]

Only because you don't know nothing at all.

private voice >

[aliased]

I know more than you.

private voice >

[bullhorned]

Aye. For useless things, most like. None of those flags and names from home don't mean nothing here, do they?

private voice >

[aliased]

[ WELL OUCH, GENDRY.] I know more than you about lots of things!

private voice >

[bullhorned]

Do you? Well name something! Anything.

private voice >

[aliased]

Sword-fighting.

private voice >

[bullhorned]

Like I can't? I know how to sword fight. Mayhaps not as good as Jon, but better than you for certain.

[Or at the very least, he was big enough and strong enough to overcome what skill she did have.]

private voice >

[aliased]

Being bigger does not mean you know more than me.

private voice >

[bullhorned]

I still know plenty about it. What do you of where an armor's weakest? Or how to know a sword is balanced? Or how to keep its edge longest?
