(She waits until she is sitting primly in a chair, her back straight and her hair braided neatly over one shoulder. Appearance is everything - or so she has learned time and time again. No matter how uneasy she feels, she cannot show it. Alayne Stone won't break.)

I am new to the kingdom of Keeliai, but I have been well-informed. (A small smile - one which doesn't reach her eyes - follows before she continues:) My name is Alayne Stone and I am from a world called Westeros. Should my world sound familiar to anyone, I am eager to speak with you.

(Though perhaps not meet. The fact that is standing on her own hasn't escaped her. She no longer has Littlefinger's protection.

The next part is strange to word, so she decides to just say it.)

Is it true that we are on the back of a giant turtle? I find that hard to believe. Even the largest of turtles are not spacious enough to hold a world, surely?

(What happens when the turtle turns the wrong way?)

Are there other creatures of such a considerable size? I should like to avoid the predators.

(The turtle should avoid them too.)

There are items which I will eventually need. Where might I procure them? Is there a market and some sort of currency?

(Yes, she knows she needs to focus on the things she can control. Otherwise... Otherwise...

She will lose the hope she has been able to retain.)

[ Hi Alayne, have a very pale, very blue eyed guy looking extremely thoughtful. ]

Westeros, I could have sworn I've heard that before. Give me a second, it'll come to me.

(She stares back with equally blue eyes, expectant despite her determination to stay in control.)

I am most curious to hear.

[ It does take him a minute, and then he snaps his fingers excitedly. ]

I remember! The dragon lady said she came from there, the one with the huge string of titles. And there were two other guys too, a knight and a king. Your world has an awful lot of royalty, by the way.

[ Then his gaze settled into something more serious. ]

But they've been gone from here for about a year and a half now.

...the dragon lady? (Her eyebrow quirks and she presses her lips together.) Did her title include "Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men as well as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms"?

(The only lady she knows of who has a connection with dragons is Daenerys Targaryen - the only living - as far as she knows - daughter of the Mad King Aerys Targaryen.)

Uhh, those sound vaguely familiar.

[ He's used to titles, he has several Seasonal ones himself, but this is going back to a singular conversation he had at the time. ]

House of Storm-something, Mother of Dragons, something something Seven Kingdoms, yeah. She didn't like me getting her form of address wrong, I remember that part.

You know her?

She would be of the House Targaryen. (Though one of Daenerys's nicknames is "Stormborn".) I have not met her personally, but people speak of her often. Dragons are thought to be extinct.

(Therefore her having them is a huge deal.)

She seeks the Iron Throne, which would give her the right to rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

[ mutters: ] Yeah, well she acted like she already had it.

[ Then he shakes his head, putting aside the sour recollection. Even if he didn't personally find Daenerys that sociable, it had still been someone from Alayne's world, so he shouldn't speak too badly of her. ]

Sorry I can't point you in the direction of someone here you might know at the moment though, Alayne.

I'm in the process of putting the Welcome Center back together, but if you need juulan -- that's the currency here -- we still have a small pool of it for the new arrivals. I can drop some by to you, if you aren't ready to venture too far just yet.

She must be strong if she wishes to face the Lannisters.

(But that's how she'll leave it. Alayne Stone only knows what her father has told her about those in King's Landing.)

You were kind to tell me about her in the first place. You needn't apologize.

(She smiles gently, her blue eyes warming.)

I have secured a position as an upholsterer and mender, but I may need...juulan...before I am paid. I am in the middle of the city currently.

Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Jack.

[ It's not like he's doing anything pressing right now, so he can fly them to her right away. It won't be a lot, but hopefully enough for her to get whatever she needs. ]

No problem. Did you notice any landmarks where you are?

It is a pleasure, Ser Jack. (Have a polite curtsy!) Do you know where the fountain is located?

(Surely there is a fountain the city? Maybe?)

Just Jack is okay, Alayne. We're all pretty informal here.

And I know where that one is, I'vev flown over it a lot. Hang tight and I can be there soon.

I admit I'm not accustomed to such informalities. (Though a bastard should be better at them.) ...flown?

(Cue her staring up at the sky.)

Think of it like an adventure!

That'll... probably make more sense when we meet.

(That is met with less enthusiasm than he probably expects. She is tired of adventures.)

Then I shall await you presently.
