[ so if we're pretending there's a list that's called Things Malia Shouldn't Do, but She'll Definitely Do it Anyway, this would be on it. probably up there pretty high, top three. but that list doesn't exist, it's not real, and even if it was, she wouldn't pay any attention to it. so she's just leaving this out on the open locket network- ]

i don't care about the war.
i don't care about the courts.
my shard says i'm unseelie, but i didn't ask to be.
i won't fight someone just because somebody else tells me to.
the only thing i care about is keeping my friends safe, and keeping my home safe, and right now that's Cothromach.

why is that a bad thing now?

[ "now" because of how things are shifting, how the sides matter more than when she first got here, and when she first moved from caer scima, to the mountains. which no, she doesn't realize it's not the other shardbearers' faults ( not completely ), but it's noticeable in a way it wasn't before. she's mostly just curious what changed, and annoyed that her loyalties are being questioned over something she has/had no control over. so yeah! obviously confronting the lockets about it is the Best Idea Ever! malia tate, everybody. ]

There's more Seelies than the ones who invited you, unless the monarchs are the ones who invited you— the invitation doesn't give you a guarantee of safety.

[ logic 101, malia, gosh. there's a moment when reyna opens her mouth before she stops herself. she wants to say i wonder why but she has enough self-control to stop herself. ]

There isn't war in your world, is there?

[wilee]

Sansa's in charge, she invited me. Well, Jon did, but they're brother and sister.

[ EH she doesn't care about the monarchs isn't Sansa a monarch or something who even knows ]

No. Not like this. I've had to fight to survive, but it's been on my terms.

[endurecer]

And everyone knows they invited you?

[ IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. because people are weird and hey maybe that will work in malia's favor. or not. ]

No wonder you don't get things about this world. Even if you fought for your survival at how it doesn't compare to organized war.

[wilee]

Everybody that matters.

[ so, the Stark family rightright ]

Yeah. Sure. But I don't want to get it, I just want to stay out of it.

[ like... math class. ]
