[ John is in a stranger position than he's usually in when he makes broadcasts. Sprawled out on his stomach on the floor, locket in front of his face, he looks- not relaxed, but at the very least less active than he usually is. On his back rests the head and front paws of his female saber-fanged cave lion, her toes flexing every once in a while as if she's kneading his back.

There's a loud sigh. ]


God damn, but this place makes me feel old sometimes. I'm in my thirties and here we all get triple the lifespan -- I'm way too young for this. Don't know how you elves and other long-lived people do it.

[ Granted, with his enhancements, John may very well be long-lived even without the lifespan boost of the Drabwurld... but that's not the point. ]

Of course, this could be part of what happens when you join the military at seventeen and see several lifetimes of war stretch out in front of you. Not that I assume the life expectancy for most shardbearers is that high...

[ And he's being morbid. He grimaces- and then swears again. ]

Buttercup, watch your claws!

So much has happened in the last few days and I've been a little busy. Is there anything I can do for anyone? I can travel fast, heal, brew potions for sleeping and nursing. Please, let me know. I want to do what I can to make sure we're all safe an taken care of.

My name is Hermione Granger, for those that don't know. I don't care where you are. Please let me help.
 

( PRIVATE TO HERMIONE'S CLOSE CR )

I'm awake. I'm tired and I feel like something is tugging on my heart no matter what I'm doing but I'm awake and the thing is done. What have I missed? Let me know.

[ it's clear that, when the video starts, arya's locket is not around her neck. it's around something else... or rather, someone else. that someone is nymeria. and nymeria is hovering around arya as she sits on a crate, a canvas bag at her side and... chocolate all over her mouth, a smudge on her cheek, and on her fingers as she stuffs her face with another piece.]

No-- [ her mouth is full so her words sound like it.] Ru can't haff any. Mits not good for animarls. [ she stuffs another chocolate into her mouth from the canvas bag and chew for a few moments before she stops. she makes a face then groans, her arms wrapping around her torso. she makes another face, you know, the kind you make when you feel sick because that's how she feels. sick. she pushes the bag away, moving to lay down, her voice a bit whiny.]

Nymeria... chocolate might be poison for humans too.

[ there's video for just a moment, a grubby-faced arya's in a hay loft in the stables, you can see nymeria licking the face of a white kitten. ruthless direwolf that she is. but it changes to text soon after---] 

Does it ever snow here?

I need to someone to take care of my... kitten. [ she turns the locket to show a kitten playing with a piece of string, curled up next to arya's direwolf, nymeria.] I named her Wenda and she's too stupid to take care of herself. [ the cat meows from off camera, as if she's insulted. arya rolls her eyes and relents.] Fine, she's sort of clever. But the fairies said I had to take care of her and I can't take her where I'm going. It's just for a few days.

[ there's an awkward pause before--] Thank you. [ oh and...] Something's wrong with the sky. [ click ]

[ arya looks absolutely pleased when the locket turns on, happier than she's looked since arriving here. tilting her chin up, she gives a half grin before--] Watch this. [ she looks off screen for a moment (and in the background, you might see a cloak of the colors and sigil of house stark, hanging on the poster of the bed, but let's not talk about that.]

Nymeria. Shoes. [ she points to her shoes off screen, snaps her fingers, and points to the bed. but nothing happens, which only makes arya's smile fade into a patient annoyance.] Nymeria. Bring my shoes here. [ again, there's a pause as she waits for something to happen. and again, nothing really happens except for arya frowning more.]

Nymeria! No! [ then there's a flash of fur, whoever is watching will catch sight of a direwolf, not full grown (for now), the size of a regular wolf, before it snatches the locket from its hanging spot and then the world is spinning as she carries it to arya. dropping it on the ground in favor of jumping up to lick arya's face instead.

arya laughs, pushing the wolf down to reach for the locket to turn off, feeling a little embarrassed that showing off her wolf didn't work out as well as it should have.]


I guess you were never really good at fetching, Nymeria. [ CLICK. ]
