(To say she is shaken is putting it mildly - and kindly. Alayne isn't sure she can stand on her own two feet when she lands - yes lands. It seems falling through the rift originally is not the only fright she will be receiving from this...adventure.

She is sick to death of adventures - or, no, perhaps Alayne isn't. She did visit the East and she chose to travel across the sea to see her father.

But this is...not the same. A sea doesn't have any magical or mystical properties. A sea cannot, in the blink of an eye, carry you from one place to another.

Though she is shaking in fear, she decides to reach out for answers - for hope - for guidance. She must be strong.)


My name is Alayne Stone. I am the daughter of Petyr Baelish and I hail from the Eyrie.

(There, beginnings are proper. She cannot be too panicked to forget her courtesies!)

What am I to do...? I thought it was strange to be hired for such a mission, but it has only gotten stranger. I feel I am dreaming.

(She must have hit her head. Yes, that is a comforting theory, however her dreams have never been so...surreal.)

Oh. No. Definitely not. I mean, that's really nice. I'd rather be a knight over a... brigand, or, things that are bad, comparatively... Which most things would be, I guess...

( YOU ARE BOMBING THIS PARKER GET IT TOGETHER. at least he can focus on trying to show her how to use her device. that's easier. kinda... )

I can show you, maybe, if you want? It's easy to pick up with a little practice. And it'd be good for you to know. I day 'I'm surprised they didn't teach you', but, I'm not surprised. They really don't care about employee retention around here.

( religion. yeah, well, he's not gonna be doing that any time soon, but she's right there are plenty of worthwhile professions that aren't knighthood. he's just being ridiculously awkward at the moment. )

I'm a photographer, but people would probably argue about how honest that is. ( and she probably doesn't even know what it is. wow, what is wrong with him... ) Not that I'm not honest. I'm honest. I mean, it doesn't seem very honest when I need to insist that I'm honest, but...

( kill him now plz... he rubs a hand over his face, before nodding. )

Sure. I can. Don't worry about that, I'm pretty good at taking care of myself.

( no breathing. may he stop breathing and get a shallow grave. )

It's kind of like... an artist? ( he doesn't use a paintbrush but it does require a certain amount of skill, and the end result is similar to a painting. it should at least make sense. ) And that's nice of you. I know I sound ridiculous, so it's actually really nice of you.

( he's just nervous, and nervousness snowballs. still, he's putting himself together again. hopefully.

considering his abilities he has to agree with the sentiment, but he still finds it a little sad that she doesn't think she knows how to take care of herself. )
Well, we're a team now, right? So we can look after each other.

( a ... bard. as in the kind that sing? he wants to tell her no, not exactly. or not even remotely, even. but she seems relieved and for now, he's not going to argue. )

Kind... of? When things get a little quieter around here, I'll have to show you my camera. It's one of those things that is hard to explain.

( except not really he can explain it perfectly but that doesn't really mean she'll understand it. )

Sure. I can meet you tonight, if you want? To show you how to run the communicator.

I think we're from very different places, but, that could be cool. I'd like to know about your world, too.

( she seems like she must be from a medieval time, which is hard for him to even fathom, but somehow time travel is easier to understand than magic. )

Yeah, I can find you. ( he seems embarrassed by that, but she's not wrong; he's not going to forget what she looks like easily. )

I agree with that. Differences are what make a group strong.

( that feels like something Uncle Ben would have said. Uncle Ben had lots of good sayings like that. )

Oh, you don't... I mean, if you're hungry I guess we could do it over food, if you want, but you don't have to worry about making me a refreshment. ( was that a normal expectation in her world??? )
webdesigned: (85)

[personal profile] webdesigned 2016-05-18 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That's true.

( too true, actually. )

I'm... I mean, I'm not at the inn right now, but I sleep there, so it's not really a journey. ( he can't tell if it'd be worse to accept or worse to tell her not to. ) If you join me, then I'll have a refreshment. But you don't need to, just for my sake.

( he sighs, but it's paired with a laugh. )

Good point. Yeah, okay, refreshments it is. Thanks, Alayne. I'll see you soon.

( speaking of people that need to brush their hair... haha, that's a good one. he needs to, but he probably won't. fingers are good enough, right?

he only slightly loses track of time, and is thusly only a little bit late. at least when he comes jogging up to the main room where the guests can mingle if they want, he looks apologetic. and overheated. god this place is hot. )


Hey. Hi. Alayne. Sorry, I was... ( he fades off, breathless. doing stuff, apparently. he manages a smile though. ) Nice to meet you in person.

( it's good of her to even wear the uniform. Peter does when he has no other option, but he prefers his own clothing to an extreme degree. that and his suit, but obviously, he's not wearing that at the moment.

he considers offering a hand to shake, but he's not sure she would even know what a handshake is. so he flounders, offering an awkward half bow that just looks like his side hurts, and takes the drink. )


No, I'm okay. My aunt used to say I have infinite energy as long as I'm up to no good. ( he looks comically oversized when he takes a seat in one of the Nalawi chairs, drink in hand. ) And I like to think I'm up to good around here, hopefully.

Well, according to my aunt, sometimes. ( he does get into more trouble than he should, probably. he can't help it. trouble tends to find him and he's never been good at ignoring it. he feels responsible to try and make things better if he can. that's true even now, when his powers are limited and possibly fading all together. it's a weird feeling, but he's trying not to think about that.

it's weird to be a normal guy again.

as to her question, he is tired. likely not more than anyone else, though. he shrugs and offers a slight shrug. )
I think we're all tired. I'm okay, though, compared to the hours I ran back home this place is practically good for me. ( if he's not on a patrol, he's out like a light... something he never accomplished in the city. ) So, are you ready? I can show you how to run your communicator, now, if you want?
