[ the way to communicate here seems too much like something the capitol would make. if not for his need for information, he would throw the damn thing away.

( he's still considering a hole in the ground for it as he types. ) ]

I heard some people have been here a few months. I got a few questions.
are there any rules about the woods
what animals are there around here [ it might help if you specified where "here" is, gale. ]
what district are you from?

[ the third question is a last-minute addition, a sign he's not entirely convinced yet that his being here isn't a capitol trick. gale debates adding anything else, but common sense provides the more obvious answers. he's not in the mood to waste anyone's time, especially his own. ]

[ yes. she's very worried. she needs must stay in his good graces should she want to make it back to caer glaem alive. ] He is a knight and I am a lady; he will keep me safe.

Why do you want to know about the animals?

[tensed]

[steeledskin]

...It's safer to stay in the castle.

[ says the girl currently not in one. ]

[tensed]

its safer to not be in a war

[steeledskin]

It's true. But war seems inevitable no matter the land or the castle.

[tensed]

so youll be a good little soldier because someone told you to?

[steeledskin]

No -- I am no soldier. I do not fight.

[tensed]

but youll leave the castles even if its not safe?

[steeledskin]

My absence is not of my choosing.

[tensed]

you mind vagueing that up for me further?

[steeledskin]

-- I found myself left behind from one of their fairy rings. I'm between the two castles. Nothing more.

[tensed]

how did that happen? fairy rings show up alot?

[steeledskin]

They show when Their Graces wish for them to show. In this instance, there was a skirmish of sorts between the castles.

[tensed]

so people do fight for them

[ what idiots. ]

[steeledskin]

Some do. Others are merely swept along with their sorcery, though they would rather not be a part of it at all.

[ aka her. ]

[tensed]

well good luck getting wherever you want to
