Please, there must be some sort of mistake. I've told them - I can't be a princess, I'm not even from this place, I've no rightful claim, I-I'm only a baseborn girl.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to do insult to the honor done me. Only I'm not sure what is expected of me in such a role, and…and I would very much like to go home.

[ There's an animal whine from somewhere out of sight, and a nervous look flitters briefly through Sansa's eyes. ]

The man said… It can't be true, can it, that death does not bind here?

Aaaa-- a computer's like a machine that you can make do specific things like play games or send messages or things like that, video games are games you play on the computer and cell phones are portable phones that don't need to be plugged in anywhere to work. [[and most of those had games on them to!]]

[ladysarmour]

But what are phones?

[shiromadoushi]

They're sort of like this thing we're talking over. Only they only do voice or text.

[ladysarmour]

Your time must be full of wonders.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Rubbing the back of his neck a little]] Not really... things like that are pretty common place. I think they only seem like wonders if you're not used to them.

[ladysarmour]

We have no such tools in my time.

[shiromadoushi]

My world doesn't have magic or anything like that, so it's a tradeoff, I think. They might not be able to exist in the same space.

[ladysarmour]

There is no magic in Westeros, either. It is a thing of legend.

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- There must be some other thing that only your world has, then?

[ladysarmour]

If there is, I would not know. My world is the only I have experienced.

[shiromadoushi]

I think most people are the same, until they come to a place like this.

[ladysarmour]

I would never have dreamed such a place even existed.

[shiromadoushi]

It's like something out of storybook, isn't it?

[ladysarmour]

It is. [ and that's what frightens her. ] But is it truly as lovely as it appears?

[shiromadoushi]

[[ponders this just a moment]] Mmmm... if you consider the sorts of things that happen in stories, I think so... Things happen and the kingdom is being threatened by the forces of chaos, but it's pretty easy to forget that and just enjoy it, I think. Though the towns people get to be a little much at times. [[rubs the back of his neck slightly]]

[ladysarmour]

Do the monsters win? [ her voice - quiet. from the way she asks, it's hard to tell if she expects a certain answer or even any answer at all. ]

[shiromadoushi]

I don't think so... I haven't really seen any monsters, to be honest. [[admits a little sheepish]] I heard there's one in the woods just outside town that's pretty dangerous, but I don't know if there's been any real battles....

[ladysarmour]

I hope no one is hurt. I will pray for it.

[shiromadoushi]

I don't think they were. At least not too badly. And there's healing magic here too! So you don't need to worry too much about things like that.

[ladysarmour]

Healing magic?

[shiromadoushi]

Un! It's pretty amazing!

[ladysarmour]

I have never seen magic. It sounds wondrous.

[shiromadoushi]

It really is! I've been trying to practice some with mine, though I'm not really sure what I can do with it yet.
