Jon Snow - A Song Of Ice And Fire

[starkwhitesnow]

When he steps into the sorting room, he takes a minute to kick mud and snow off the bottoms of his boots. He isn't certain where he's ended, but he is certain it doesn't do well to start by ruining someone's floor. The pause makes the wolf at his side stop, as well; he pauses to rest a hand on it's head, and they look at one another for a moment

You seem to place a great deal on your personal honor, sir.

[starkwhitesnow]

I've been in a place where it was all I had.

[fine_eyes_lizzy]

I am sorry to hear it, sir, and to bring up the recollection, if it is painful to you. But how do you safeguard your honor, sir? I hope you have not that distressing tendency to insulate it from injury with a palapable layer of improper pride.

[starkwhitesnow]

How else does one protect it? I test it, I trust it, and I live it.

[fine_eyes_lizzy]

*with a smile* I am pleased to hear it, sir. I hope you have not had to defend your honor physically?

[starkwhitesnow]

Near constantly. But that is my job -- I defend the Wall and those behind it from the onslaught.

[fine_eyes_lizzy]

What is the Wall?

[starkwhitesnow]

The Wall is great wall that stretches between the world and the wild. Dark things lurk beyond; humans live within.

[fine_eyes_lizzy]

An admirable goal, then, to set yourself up as humanity's defender. Your bravery thus marks you for Gryffindor. Have you any questions or argument with such an assessment?

[starkwhitesnow]

The choice was selfishly made, but I have no regrets. I do not argue.

Well, sir, enjoy your stay. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions- I am Miss Elizabeth Bennet. *curtsies*
