ᴏɴᴇ ʟɪғᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴏɴᴇ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍ ᴏɴ ʀᴇᴘᴇᴀᴛ

ᴡʜᴏ: Arya and you.
ᴡʜᴀᴛ: A day in the life.
ᴡʜᴇɴ: Today.
ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ: Options A-E open to all. Just let me know where we're at.


[ A // ɢᴀʀᴅᴇɴs ]
[ A couple of hours after daybreak finds Arya still in the gardens. While Nymeria naps close by, she attempts to weave flowers into a crown. The end result is laughable. Growling in frustration, she rips it apart. Around her lie the bruised and wilting victims of previous attempts. ]


[ B // ᴍᴜsɪᴄ ʀᴏᴏᴍ ]
[ From the open door of the music room comes the sound of drumming. There is no rhythm nor any sense of a song. A laugh sometimes accompanies it. Inside the room, Arya beats on a drum in front of Nymeria. The direwolf seems more interested in the drumsticks Arya has in her hands than the actual instrument. Occasionally, she lunges at the sticks and Arya laughs and moves back. Nymeria yelps. ]


[ C // ʀᴏᴏғ ]
[ Arya lies on her stomach, head and shoulders jutting out over the edge. She kicks her feet idly back and forth as she holds her arm straight out. Her hand opens and something falls. She counts under her breath before stopping with a frown. ]

I need something bigger. Nymeria, the stick.

[ Nymeria ignores Arya; the direwolf continues gnawing happily on her drumstick. ]


[ D // ᴘɪᴇ sʜᴏᴘ ]
[ Having mopped the floor, wiped down the tables and counter and rearranged the chairs—twice—Arya finally accepts she is done with her work. She had not thought she would enjoy it so. Work was a welcome reprieve. When she had something to do, she had less time to think. In Paradisa, there was nothing but time to think. She had even begun to miss her lessons.

With the store empty for the moment, Arya steals a day-old pie from the kitchen. She sits at a table against the windows to eat. Fork to her lips, she entertains herself watching the people walking by.
]


[ E // ɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅs ]
[ Lying on the grass near the duck pond, the child is unobtrusive and quiet for once. The direwolf usually with her is nowhere to be seen yet they are not separated. Arya almost seems to be sleeping if not for the slit of grey marking open eyes. Try not to step on her. ]


[ F // ᴅᴀᴇɴᴇʀʏs ]
Daenerys!

[ Pushing everything out of mind, Arya smiles as she calls out. Behind her, Nymeria drags a deer carcass across the ground. ]

Viserion! Drogon! Rhaegal! Look what we've brought you!

Well...[Okay, that's a good point.] But there are some people who get to be super tall, and they're still people.

[He's not going to win with this, is he?]
inafadingcrown: (my love is given to the Morning)

Gardens, of course

[Arya's favorite elf just happens to be taking a stroll though the gardens; neither the walking nor the early hour are that unusual for her, after all. She purposefully walks a bit heavier when she spots Arya, hoping to give more sign of her approach than she would ordinarily. She smiles a bit when she discovers Arya's task. It's familiar and charming.]

Take heart; none begin as masters. I remember well teaching my daughter. Even she had difficulty at first.
inafadingcrown: (That what should be shall be)

[It was sarcasm, geeze.]

Would you like me to help you?
inafadingcrown: (curious)

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2012-10-28 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She frowns a little.] Have I caused you some offense of which I am unaware?

[Is it a little icy in here, or is it just her?]
inafadingcrown: (That what should be shall be)

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2012-10-28 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yet you are not overfond of me. [And, yes, she cares.] "No, my lady." "Yes, my lady." You say only what is required of you.

[nods with a small smile.]

Good choice.
bow_of_the_galadhrim: (Amusement)

[personal profile] bow_of_the_galadhrim 2012-10-28 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's too alike the crowns my father wears each season. I never did care much for his style.

[Okay, maybe once upon a time.]

You're welcome to do anything with it, of course. Even take it apart to practice more if you would so wish.
inafadingcrown: (soft as moonlight)

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2012-10-28 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[That only earns her a little chuckle.] Very well. You may keep your own counsel. I cannot say I would not have responded much the same in my youth.
bow_of_the_galadhrim: (Admiration)

[personal profile] bow_of_the_galadhrim 2012-10-28 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
If you don't wish to, that's alright as well.

[He smiled a bit, nodding to her. He'd given it to her so, really, anything she did with it was by her choice.]

[Fortunately, elves don't exactly have the same stigma on age that humans do. The implied "you are ancient" doesn't offend her in the least.]

I can. I remember a time before the coming of Men and before the sun and the moon.

[Tsuna starts a bit himself, but relaxes when Nymeria does. For a wolf, she was awfully tame with Arya, although Tsuna wasn't about to take his chances with her himself.

So he'll fall into silence, half-finished crown sitting idly in his hands as he watches the clouds.]
not_mafia: (guesstimating)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-10-28 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[He blinks and looks at her.]

What do you mean?
