Honour & Duty - Voice - Backdated July 26

[fatherlordandfool]

Hail, folk of the shard. I am Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell, a member of the company of Lancelot du Lac.

I mean to raise the alarm against an enemy of the Seelie in Caer Glaem, as Reynard the Fox, the Lord of Maupertius, has turned against us, and but a day ago sought to kill the members of this company. Avoid his lands and his banners, a red fox upon a black field! The Lord himself is deathless they say, and despite small stature possessed of great and terrible strength.

But also I call out to you now for another reason. We were given aide by another, Lord El-Melloi II, who may have been slain by the selfsame lord. I beg the help of any, whatever their banner, who might safely determine this for true: if finding it so, to inform this company, that I may parley for his body. If he lives still and is held prisoner, we will parley instead for his ransom.

Go with care.

[ he calls himself a fool; she aches to hear him speak to optimistically -- to talk as though the confidant and lord will doubtless reappear to reap the consequences of her father's honesty.

sansa sets her mouth into a line. she wraps her thoughts around the matter. she thinks on baelish's lessons. ] Even the Unseelie cannot fault one of their own for aiding a child. Lean on Arya's presence, Father. Stress it, if you must.

[ His tone goes faintly nasally; as it does when he's rubbing the bridge of his hawkish nose while he speaks. ]

Already done, to the one Unseelie who inquired after him. It seemed to turn the inquiry neatly enough.

...Good. I'm glad. [ sweet relief. and -- dare she think it! -- a hint of pride. ] You are a good man, Father. And I love you dearly. But for all our sakes, distance yourself from the Lord should he have survived.

If you must talk with him, talk in private. As you and I do. As he and I do.
