Terre Haute expedition: Camping Day 1

[lord_wizard]

[It's been a more or less uneventful day of travel for the expedition team. Not unexpected for the first leg of such a trip, and with any luck, it will stay that way.

As the sun starts to get low in the sky, Felix signals the group with a sharp whistle to stop, shortly after he feels the change. They've entered the Dead Zone. That sudden loss of power for anyone used to that sort of thing. Not an easy thing to adjust to, at first.]

"We've crossed into the border of the Dead Zone now. We should stop here for the night. Those of you with experience, help set up camp as needed. And I recommend a few of you working out a watch schedule. You never can tell what might be out here."

You think?

[wolfskin]

There are some that would not think her beautiful.

[wolfchild]

They didn't marry her. You did.

[ Robb. Get it together. ]

[wolfskin]

She is. [ GOSH. Look it is awkward getting grilled by your baby sister about your wife that she did not know you had. ] She is beautiful.

[wolfchild]

Is she with child?

[wolfskin]

[ COUGH, no it's okay he is just clearing his throat again. ]

I am... not certain.

[wolfchild]

Did she go to the Twins too?

[wolfskin]

No, I left her in Riverrun with the Blackfish to protect her.

[wolfchild]

Would she have liked me?

[wolfskin]

She would have loved you.

[wolfchild]

Did she love you?

[wolfskin]

She did, and I her.

[wolfchild]

[ Arya considers that. Finally, she nods. ]

Then I will love her too.

[wolfskin]

[ He lets go a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding, tension melting from his limbs. A laugh and he gives the top of her head a kiss.

Who would think little sisters opinion of the wife would be so important? ]

[wolfchild]

You can sleep now. And you're not allowed any more nightmares.

[ She speaks like a little lord, giving his banner a command. ]

[wolfskin]

As my lady commands. [ Aheh. ]

[wolfchild]

Do not call me "my lady"!

[wolfskin]

[ A chuckle. ] Would you rather me call you "princess"?

[wolfchild]

[ k e y w o r d s ]

[wolfskin]

[ Her face. He can barely hold back his laughter at her expression. ]

Do not worry, little sister, I promise I will not call you such.

[wolfchild]

That's not funny!

[ ROBB, YOU ARE THE WORST. THIS IS WHY SHE ALWAYS LIKED JON BETTER. ]

[wolfskin]

[ He loves you. c: ]

Come on, let us sleep while we can.

[wolfchild]

[ grumblegrumble fine grumble she's not tired muttermutter ]

And don't call me princess.

[ She falls quiet. She really is tired. If he's still awake, he'll see her lips move though no sound comes out until the end. Very faintly, she whispers, "Valar morghulis." ]
