(first gallop) | accidental video + action

[wolfwild]

...Benjen? [ when lyanna stark pushes herself into a sitting position a few twists and turns away from the maze's centre, her instinct is to call for one of her brothers: the youngest, first, and with a lilt of concern. with a groan, she brushes detritus off her palms and straightens her skirts (simple; in the northern style). and she tries to figure out why she might have been preparing her palfrey to ride in one moment, and sitting in dirt the next.

not that she minded the dirt -- not really. but she did mind the conspicuous absence of her kin. panic mounts: ] Brandon? Ned?

[ she scrambles to her feet and finds the strange small brick only a few feet away. lyanna picks it up and can now be seen peering suspiciously at its every angle. ] You're a funny thing. [ she mutters, tapping it gently and fingering (but not pressing) the buttons. but then she holds it loosely in her fist and raises her voice. ] By all the named gods and the unnamed gods -- Brandon Stark! If this is some trick or a mummer's game, I will have your hide. And without it, you can hardly hope to woo any pretty --

[ she stops abruptly because the brick chirrups like some odd precise bird. surprise catches the breath in her throat and she's forced to ask -- staring straight at the device: ] ...Are you alive, little brick?

[ grab her attention on the funny little brick-bird or else find her wandering the maze and the gardens. ]

Aye. Royalty. And the Starks were Kings in the North. And Wardens ever after. But -- [ her eyes narrow. ] If you insist.

The Starks you know of. Tony's from a different family, even if you do share the same name. [Or born far enough in the future that it amounts to the same thing. Regardless, Pepper could only imagine how Tony would live up being called Lord. It's better for all of them to avoid it entirely.]

We got a little sidetracked though. [She goes over the prior conversation in her mind, about different worlds and times, then nods to herself as she decides where to go next.] My point is that things you are familiar with are going to be foreign to others here, and things others are familiar with will be foreign to you. Like the way we're dressed, or how we address other people--or how to use the phones.
