001 | Video | Open to both courts

[fiercestwarrior]

[ The video shows a young woman, her face framed by slightly wavy hair the color of rich soil. Unseen is the weight of many centuries that lie upon her strong shoulders, and would make her ancient rather than young in the eyes of some.

Her large, hazel eyes are sharp as those of a bird of prey as she fixes them upon her locket. ]

I am Lady Sif of Asgard, my allegiance is to my king and my home, and much as the rulers of this court seem to wish it, that will not change simply because they imagine themselves to have some manner of claim on me.

Do not think me craven, I have no fear of battle, but I will not seek it out merely because a stranger tells me that it is my duty.

So I put the question to you now, my fellow recruits: Why do you fight?

[ It is a light that feels rather familiar to Sif, perhaps because a similar one often shines from her own eyes. ]

And who needs your protection here?

Whoever needs protecting from those who want to do harm.

[Kaladin didn't care about 'sides' or who thought they were right or wrong. He would protect anyone who was innocent from harm or death.]

You are not sworn to one of the courts, then?

[He grunted, the noise sounding angry at both sides.]

Why would I swear my loyalty to disloyal people? It's those of us they bring here who suffer.

They have shown themselves to be disloyal? How?

[radiantstorm]

They kidnap people who refuse to come fight their stupid war or bring others to fight and kill those who had no choice in being here.

[ooc: I'm sorry that this is so late! My computer crashed and my sister gave birth recently so it's taken me time to get a new computer :( ]

[ ooc: No worries! As you see I can be terribly slow even without any good reasons, and yours certainly were very good ones! ]

I withdraw the question.

[ He is indeed very right, much as at least the seelie monarchs seem rather eager to make it all seem as if they are honored guests. ]
