(first lemon cake) voice ✧ seelie & unseelie

I offer my gratitude to those fighting the worms. [ here is a voice both measured and composed, albeit young. ] And gratitude is all I can give, barring my prayers. And they are given whole-heartedly for all of us. May the Warrior give you the strength and courage required for your victories. And may the Mother bless us all.

[ sansa stark has long come to doubt the efficacy of the seven new gods. she isn't entirely certain the old gods listen, either -- but their rustling leaves and independent ways give her more peace of late than anything the seven offer: incense and rituals. however! she has resigned herself to being alayne stone to those who are not immediately known to her or trusted by her. and alayne stone worships the new gods, not the old. she is meant to be exactly as petyr baelish described her: a pious bleater, whose ardent faith discourages unwanted questions. so she speaks of blessing of the seven, but holds the old gods in her heart. she only hopes that arya and her allies will forgive her this identity fraud across the lockets.

most of all, sansa doesn't want to disappoint the people to whom she'd promised her help. like in maegor's holdfast during the blackwater, sansa hopes to lift spirits and rouse bravery. perhaps if she voices her thankfulness, others will follow in kind.

before she ends, she has only one question -- the paranoid fugitive in her needs to know: ]
These pendants are truly remarkable. Magic, is it? But more efficient by far than any raven. [ ... ] Can they be used to talk only to one person, and privately? If anyone has managed it, I would thank you to tell me how.

...Yeah, we have one of those too. [out of loyalty to nico and hazel, he attempts a smile anyway and shrugs.] Honestly, he seems like one of the nicer ones, at least as far as our bunch go.

[that almost gives him pause, because really, he used to be such a properly respectful little soldier. he really is going greek.]

Well...I guess we're a little more relaxed about these things where I come from.

They don't really feel like distant, all-powerful forces to be worshipped back home. Our relationship with the gods is sort of...closer. [more familial.] We respect them, but we're not necessarily in awe of them or anything.

Sometimes. We make offerings to our...patrons, when we eat, or when we need help.

Food. [relax, no human sacrifices or anything.] We just scrape off the best parts of our meal into the fire.

We have plenty of food -- food shortages aren't really a problem for us.

[whether you want to attribute that to magic or just the convenience of a modern age.]

It kind of is. I know we're definitely luckier than a lot of people.

[very strange to be saying that when they're expecting to be the gods' errand boys regularly. but he can't imagine having to struggle for food outside a quest or something, so...well, it could be a lot worse.]

Are supplies short back at the castle?

[they've had to scrounge for food out on their demigod squad field trip, but he'd just taken that as part of traveling.]

Relative normalcy's good enough.
