[ 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. ]

[ wellnow that just got personal ]
do they make you fight in wars in Westeros too? even if you don't want to?

[ fate, prophet, etc ]
There are many willing and unwilling fighters in Westeros. Typically in equal measure.
My skills are not for battle, though, and few where I come from trust or believe those with them.

i guess peter would. but maybe not.
it's stupid.
they don't trust people that can fight? or people with skills like yours?

I'm what we call a greenseer. We can see the past, present, and future through visions in dreams. It's usually an ability held by people that the Westerosi are often at odds with, but Bran and I both have it. It could be useful in war - will be, if it means I may protect those in this keep - but it does not stop the distrust, nor the fear.
If I ever see something that could help you on your quest, I will most assuredly share it with you.

unless you made a virgin sacrifice to get your power.
[ added way too late: ]
people do that where i'm from.

not like it wouldn't fit in back home . . . ]
There are some that do the same in Westeros, too.
But, no, I was not one of them. The fear comes from the unknown.
The sight came from nearly dying.

It was an equivalent trade.
