[ Arya sits in a grassy patch outside one of the spires. She keeps one hand on the sword in her lap, and every so often, looks fretfully up at the sky. ]

The dragons have come. I am guessing most of you have never seen a dragon, so you might be afraid of them. And want to kill them.

[ Arya frowns. A loud, powerful roar sounds from off-camera. Arya sighs. The roar doesn't help her make the point she's trying for. ]

And I understand your fear.

[ She leans into the camera. This is serious. ]

But you must not kill them. They could very well be the last of their kind. Dragons are dangerous creatures, but impressive ones. Killing these dragons could not only mean their deaths, but the death of all dragons. So keep yourself safe. But let them be safe, too.

[ Suddenly, the lighting becomes brighter. In the distance is a red-hot flame. ]

Shit.

[ Arya mutters, and cuts the video there. ]

[ It's been a difficult few weeks. Cullen vanished, dragons appeared. ... This, though... may be the first thing to almost (almost) bring a teeny-tiny smile to her face. ]

I always knew you were wise beyond your years. [ Comes the soft chuckle. It's true, Cecily has killed dragons with other members of the Inquisition, but only if they were a threat to locals. ] Have you seen any dragonlings, or are they all full-grown?

[ Also: fuck. Dragons. The Iron Bull would be thrilled, were he here. ]

But what if they try to eat us!

[This is a real concern for Miriam. She doesn't want to be dragon-chow.]

I mean, fuck those guys. If they try to eat my dog I'm making barrel bombs.

[ oh my god

And Cecily laughs, honestly cracks up a little at that. ]


How do you know? I didn't realize that you were such an expert on draconology, Arya.

Yeah well I don't eat people. Think that kinda gives me the high ground on this shit.

You're not going to win any games by refusing to kill the bosses.

1) The people may have no choice. The dragons may not intend to permit cohabitation.

2) Given the nature of their arrival, I think we may safely estimate the probability that they are the last of their kind to be low. Such is the Door: there is likely more where they came from, or another world, or universe.

While your sentiment is understandable, I do not know that it is appropriate to transfer it to these circumstances.

Can you talk to them? Is talking to them some magical power of yours?

[ Sharon sounds a little amused. ] You do know they'd starve down here, right? [ after they eat them all, of course. ]

[Flick had been keeping to himself the first few weeks. Adjusting was hard. Adjusting to technology you hadn't used since you were human was also really weird.]

I'd really rather not kill anyone. But the world --or worlds as the case may be-- are filled with people who disagree. It's not a kind place, no matter how much I would like to pretend otherwise.

I know you know that--I just....sorry.
[Flick lowered his head a little, easily cowed.]

Isn't there a way for us to stay alive and keep the dragons alive? We could feed them.....something. I know it's not the best plan....but I don't think just allowing or hoping they don't kill us is much of one either.

1) It may not be a meaningful choice. We need more information.

2) There are innumerable worlds from which the Door may take. Why do you believe these are dragons from your world rather than any other?

A clumsy correlation.


[ All the more because she died recently, after all. It's not persuasive. ]

1) That was not what I intended. What I meant was, the dragons may actively attack any who venture the streets. They may destroy both buildings and supplies. They may make it difficult, if not impossible, to live alongside them. It is a small cave and they are very large, very destructive, and may be disinclined to stop. Technically, there would still be the choice. It would not be much of one.

2) You saw the dragons in your world?

Right was no less invented by people. Appropriate and right are not always mutually exclusive.
