[ 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. ]

[ That's a lie: there's a large U-shaped scar on her calf where the bite was, the flesh pinker and sunken-in and tender there. Arya ignores it. It shouldn't matter; she's gotten worse before. Besides, she always did like pants.
It's easier to pretend all that never happened. ]

[Hey, now that's a coping mechanism he recognizes. Pretend it never happened. It's his specialty. Better than addressin' it outright, yeah?
'Cept the part where it festers like nothin' else. And it's not like he can just expect things to spin 'round back to the start anymore, for them to reach a point where they simply never happened.]
Doesn't mean it didn't.
