[Console] (Video) ❅ The First
(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.)

[With that though, he listens to his story and digests it slowly, trying to place it in terms of things he's familiar with.]
Okay, so you're the daughter of some guy like a prince and some lady? [He kind of looks rather dumbfounded by that.] Why's it kind of him to take you in? I mean, I know nobility don't really get the privilege of marrying just anyone they want, but that doesn't make the woman less of a person or anything. The father ought to have the responsibility to care for his kid.
[And really, Sokka says this with a kind of strong intention. After all, he fell in love with a princess once, and the only thing that kept him from actually making that a reality was that stupid Hahn guy. And oh, Yue turned into the moon.]
I mean, that's what would happen in my world at least.
Besides, he might be nice to take you in, but it doesn't exactly sound nice to kill someone just for the purpose of inheriting all of her stuff.
[He pauses for a little bit. Actually feeling legitimately sorry for her.]
I don't know if that's better or worse than what I've got, but that certainly does sound uncomfortable. I'm sorry to hear that.
