This wolf is enormous.

[ Katsa can be heard before she's seen, her locket instead in the face of a fully-grown direwolf that's shoving his nose in front of it in her hands. She pushes him out of the way, backs up so that she can be seen in scale with the direwolf: her blue and green eyes are overbright, red-rimmed as though she's been crying, but her voice when she speaks is loud and demanding. ]

What potions or tonics would turn dark hair blue?

Aye, Aegon Targaryen had two sisters who began his queens after they conquered the Seven Kingdoms.

[ Perhaps he shouldn't be encouraging her fascination with dragons, but it is an easy conversation to have. He manages a smile then, though it is tight and worn. ]

Mountain lions are no less fierce.

[survivra]

Seven—you're from that place too! [ she sits upright. ] That's three now. I'm from a Seven Kingdoms as well, though a different one, I lately learned. We've no tales of dragons, though it were all siblings who were the first kings and queens of the seven lands as well.

[ assuming aegon's sisters became different queens...

katsa rubs a hand over a shoulder, feeling the raised scars beneath her shirt ]

No dragon tales in my Seven Kingdoms, though mountain lions are real as they are fierce.

[wolfskin]

How queer. [ Another Seven Kingdoms, though she certainly does not sound if she is from Westeros. However people do say these monarchs take all sorts from different worlds to fight their war. ] You must have spoken to members or my house, or our allies.

[ Glad, he is, that none of their enemies have yet to arrive. ]

I'd prefer lions over dragons. [ Lions he can kill. ]

[survivra]

A man named Gendry and a Lady Margaery. I only learned they were different lately; it's precisely the dragons that gave it away, after months of thinking the same.

Though I'd rather dragons, myself, I think. At least to see a dragon. To imagine what it would be to fly.

[wolfskin]

I know them both.

[ The looks he gives her is incredulous, lips parted in the beginnings of a laugh. ]

You must be mad. I do not think flying is worth such a risk.

[survivra]

I've ridden a flying horse before. But a dragon could go higher, cover greater distance at greater speed. Even if it holds all that power, I think it would be thrilling. Positively thrilling.

[ she scratches behind one of liam's ears ]

Sometimes a risk is the only worthwhile option.

[wolfskin]

[ He laughs, head shaking. ]

Sometimes, aye.
