❅ Nine (Video)

(Sansa's Tully blood has surfaced enthusiastically thanks to their new environment, taking her somewhat by surprise. She is dressed in a white shift and she is barefoot, standing on a rock near the sea. Her auburn hair is plaited neatly down her back and she is smiling at the rolling waves below.)

I don't believe I have ever learned how to properly swim. I need lessons; can anyone provide?

(Or there's just the "jump in the water and figure it out" method. She would rather not go about it so crudely.)

The water looks refreshing. Is it cold? The sun must warm the uppermost layer, but the depths have to be freezing.

You know that I can, but it may be that I'm not the best able to.

Don't jump in anywhere rocky. Don't jump in at all, if you don't know how. This sea isn't the hot pools in the godswood.

[On one hand, it's good to see his sister smiling again, but on the other -- there's still a strong sense that if he ever was so lucky as to see Father again, there would be words for him about the danger she sometimes faces, no matter that she's a woman grown.]

Sansa! Where are you??

Don't venture into the water. It is far too cold for swimming from one island to another, which I guess it what you have in mind?

[bythewaves]

There you are, little niece! I can teach you, if no one else is available.

[It occurs to Kelson as he's responding that they have never seen eachother face to face, or even in video. It had been all text or audio before. It was nice to see her face.]

I can swim, although it seems you have more than enough help, and I've never taught anyone.

[And he certainly doesn't want to start and potentially end up drowning someone he considers a friend. Or could be a friend.]

Were you raised very far from water?

Well, the water is a little cold. More importantly though, the sea is full of bloodthirsty sharks.

[Which Sansa totally wanted to hear!!!]

I know how to swim. I could teach you.

You think an ocean is the best place to start? Pretty easy to get pulled out by the tide and never be seen again.

[Teenage pessimism strikes again.]

It's just agitated enough that the whole thing is pretty miserably freezing.

[He says, apologetically.]

But if you keep moving it isn't so bad.

It certainly looks cold. I haven't gotten close enough to see and don't plan to.

[The video shows a man, handsome in a Greek god sort of way, save for his eyes, which appear as two black smudges instead of the normal human ones. It's the only indication he's not human. Leo sounds unhappy with these circumstances. He's a monster mostly made of fire, so of course, he has issues with the opposite element. He's dense enough that if he falls in, he'll be going straight to the bottom.]

It isn’t so terrible, all things considered.

[Guess who’s gone in already and groan, Sansa.]

But not the kindest waters for a beginner, perhaps.

Lady Sansa. [ There's a little inclination of her head. ] Have you found a suitable teacher? I think I'll need to learn as well: I never did.

[ There was no need of it, not in Essos or Hadriel. ]

I can help you out, if you like. Long as you don't jump in fully clothed like the last person I tried to teach-- [Fun Ghoul.] --you should already be doing better than he was.

[And maybe she'd like to be taught by another woman? That's partly her reason for offering. Girls gotta look out for each other, after all.]
