when she was just a girl

[persequor]

Wʜᴏ: Arya and you
Wʜᴀᴛ: Exploring
Wʜᴇɴ: Today
Wʜᴇʀᴇ: Everywhere a curious kid can get into. You can set up the scene, just let me know where we're at!


[ Had it been anyone else but her mother explaining where they were and what to expect here, Arya would not have believed them. The concept was hard to understand much less swallow. But if there is someone in the world she still trusts wholeheartedly it is her mother. She would not lie to Arya. Not about something like this.

Thus after she found a moment to wander away from Catelyn, she decided to explore the castle, Needle at her side. If she was to be here for a while, she needs to know what can be found. She had always enjoyed discovering new places, talking to new people. Maybe a day to tire herself out was all she needed to sleep through the night again. ]

Er...he said his name was Daryl? He hunts for deer, rabbit, squirrels. We found a few squirrels. I shot one down.

[direwolfbastard]

I'll have to thank him for accompanying you.

[He smiles when she mentions shooting a squirrel down. Ghost looks envious, insofar as a direwolf can look envious of anything.]

You did? Well, you've certainly had more luck than I. I haven't yet tried hunting, but Ghost always checks the forest while I patrol the grounds, and he always comes back with nothing. I've had to resort to feeding him in the castle. He doesn't like it much.

[ She pets Ghost with a smile. ]

He can come with me next time. We'll find deer! You'd like that, wouldn't you, Ghost?

[direwolfbastard]

[If the pleased noise he makes is any indication, Ghost would like that very much.]

Just make sure that it's actually a deer, before you shoot. A few nights ago...I had a dream about meeting a deer in the forest who could turn into a man. I'm not sure what it means, but just be careful.

[ She nods. ]

I will. How long have you been here?

[direwolfbastard]

Good. I've been here about a month and a half, if time passes the same here as it does back home. The seasons change more quickly, so it's hard to tell.

[persequor]

How much faster?
