( VOICE: OPEN TO BOTH COURTS )

Fellow [ ... ] shardholders. Seven blessings upon you all.

[ sansa is back in caer glaem, but there is no visual recording to accompany this address. (perhaps foolishly) she believes she may be somewhat protected from joffrey's attention. she would avoid an address altogether, but she feels there are those in the opposing court who ought to be quietly warned against the evil presence in their midst. trouble is, she doesn't know their names. and so here is a quiet attempt to draw out some of those people she'd spoken with at the very outset of using these lockets. ]

These lands are impressive. I have spent the larger part of two turns of this moon travelling them. Their roads are hard, perhaps, but I find myself oddly...pleased that I made any progress at all. [ there is a quiet (and honest) reverence in her voice. improvement and daring is not a thing she expects of herself, and so the mere understanding that she can now build a fire or ride a horse for days? it kindles something in her heart. a spark of pride. ] Seelie. Unseelie. Both territories boast beautiful landscapes -- I should like to see them painted, perhaps. Are there any artists in either court? Painters? Sculptors? [ ... ] Have we any musicians? These kingdoms must have their own songs. I would fain learn them.

From what played at the first feast, I imagine fairy music must always be a delight.

[ a protracted conversations, perhaps. but she hopes to catch the ear of wary allies and would-be friends. and as for her public behaviour? ah, well. she will be alayne stone a little longer. she is not ready to reclaim herself in one headlong rush. small steps and little leaps must be made. ]

(ooc: this post comes on the evening of june 27th. if your character is in caer glaem and is more apt to find here somewhere around the castle, go ahead and hit me with an action thread instead. i'm good with it. )

A record? You mean - like a picture from a book?

[ that is odd and magical and rapunzel has no idea how to do it but it sounds exciting since what a way to see the world without taking the risks of cannibals and snakes! ]

I would love to! I have a lot of paint. Well, I had more when I arrived but I still have enough for more paintings.

Yes.

[ simple. direct. she wavers between alayne's obeisance and the new found sansa's placement. the latter has more friends and allies here than alayne ever had, but the identity is difficult to abandon. painful, at times. ]

It would be my pleasure to share these sights with you. And, of course, to see what beauty you might pull from them.

I've never had anyone to paint for before. Well, I'd paint for my mother but I think that maybe after seeing I painted all over the walls she's gotten a tiny bit tired of those.

[ or really tired of those. ]

[ ... ]

Why did you paint on your walls?

[ s h r u g, how to explain? ]

Weeeelll, I've never really been outside of my tower, ever and - well, I sort of wanted to feel as if I were outside. So I painted everything I wanted to do.

--- It passed the time as well.

[ sansa wonders what keeps her in her tower, but possesses not the courage nor the discourtesy to question that fact. instead, she sought to deliver soft praise: ] What a clever plan.

[ her eyes go a bit wide, she's so unused to praise. ]

Thank you. Um!

[ a careful smile. ]

My name's Rapunzel.

Alayne. [ rapunzel gives no surname, and so she abandons alayne's. after all, there was an even chance of rapunzel not even recognizing what it meant to be a stone. and so this is another small hesitant step towards reclaiming herself. a few letters at a time. ]

Would it be too forward of me, Rapunzel, to ask after your court?

My co - oh!

[ rapunzel thinks of 'court' as a place for a princess or a queen or all the wonderful people she read about in her books; certainly not a place for her. all she had ever known was her tower. ]

Seelie. Um. I'm a Seelie.

Our task is made easier, then. [ a brief brief smile. ] We share a court, and therefore perhaps share a castle.
