❅ Seven (Video)

[stonebird]

(It has been some time - see: years - since she celebrated her birthday, but since she has a chance, she wonders if she should take it. She lights a candle beside her, sitting at a simple vanity.)

Are naming days important to you? If so, how do you make them special?

(She picks up a brush and slowly releases her hair from its braids.)

I think I will be nineteen in May. (It had taken some time for her to determine an appropriate month - the days are counted/reckoned differently in Westeros - and May had seemed the most fitting.) I never thought I would reach such an age and remain an independent woman. I would not mind falling in love and I cannot lie that I would cherish children, but I am proud of what I have overcome and accomplished.

(Setting the brush down, she lifts a small bottle of perfume and spritzes her wrists and her neck.)

I am a child of Summer, yet Winter is part of me. I will do what I must to survive and no man will ever use me again.

Ah, on that, I think, we will have to disagree!

[stonebird]

I will not argue with you as long as you are happy.

[bythewaves]

I am, Sansa. You make me very happy.

[stonebird]

And you make me very happy. (Beyond words.) I could dine on burnt food for my naming day and be content.

[bythewaves]

Oh horrors! I do hope my cooking in that other world did not give you that impression - I would not ever be so rude as to serve you anything burnt.

[stonebird]

Of course not! You and I cooked together enough that I know you are quite proficient.

[bythewaves]

Oh good. [ He laughs softly ] Or I might have to have words with my other self!

But no burnt food. Definitely not!

[stonebird]

He was just like you so there is no need. (That's what makes him so easy to love again. Still.)

I would prefer not. All burnt food tends to chase like charcoal.

[bythewaves]

Definitely not a good birthday party.

Wow. TASTE like charcoal. Not chase. O_____O

[stonebird]

You cannot say that for sure, my lord.

XD its ok

[bythewaves]

I rather think it true.

[stonebird]

The company would still be wonderful.

[bythewaves]

But it would not be much of a party!

[stonebird]

Food makes a party? I suppose it is difficult to celebrate on an empty stomach, but it is possible.

[bythewaves]

The hobbits would say so!

[stonebird]

They are so small; how can their appetites be so large?

[bythewaves]

They are hobbits, I do believe it is something of a normality for them!

[stonebird]

I am impressed. Good food can make all the difference in someone's mood.

[bythewaves]

For a hobbit, that is certainly true!

[stonebird]

Elves are immune to a good meal? I doubt that is so!

[bythewaves]

Not immune certainly! But hobbits are a special breed.

[stonebird]

An adorable breed judging by Samwise.

[bythewaves]

You met Master Samwise? Fortunate indeed you are!

[stonebird]

I helped him with his garden in Ruby City. (An activity she had enjoyed greatly.)

[bythewaves]

What was he like? [ Maglor asks eagerly ]
