Devotion to Duty - Owl and Closed RP - Brienne and Simon, with special guest appearance by Dumbledor

Aug 25, 2008 15:09

Even Brienne realized the utter futility of keeping a vigil on the popcorn room in case one of the handful of people she wanted to see should emerge from that state of being. Which wasn't to say she wouldn't, if she had to. After all, they were all gone, all those to whom she was bound by duty. Lady Katelyn. Sansa Stark. Ser Jaime Lannister, ( Read more... )

Dumbledore read the note over twice. The popcorn curse ... was there a way to foresee its whims? He wished there were. It would make his life much easier. With a heavy heart, he wrote back:

Dear Brienne of Tarth,

I am touched by your confidence in me, and very sorry to say I cannot be of assistance. There are persons popcorned in whom I take a similar interest. If I discover a way to obtain some alert or prior warning of unpopcorning, you will be the first person to whom I shall teach it.

I have been keeping a careful watch on the changing plaque of popcorned. While there is no magical way for us to predict its changes, I may very well notice a change very soon after it is made. If you would care to confide in me further, by sending a list of the names you seek, I will be sure to look for them. I will send you an owl if I see one of those names disappear.

Yours sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

My thanks for any assistance you can provide. My list is not long, but they are all people I am concerned about.

Anyone with the surname Stark, but especially Lady Katelyn and Lady Sansa
Jaime Lannister
Cersei Lannister

I think that is everyone.

Again, my thanks for any assistance you can provide. I, too, will keep my vigil.
Brienne

Simon Tam had decided he needed to get his bearings ( ... )

Brienne walked over to the man, having heard the somewhat desperate note in his voice. "No," she admitted. "I've been here a while. Is there something I can help you with?" She was glad of the reprieve from her own thoughts, at any rate.

This was a woman no one would mess with, surely. Simon decided he really didn't want to get on her bad side. He wasn't puny himself, far from it (as people who'd happened upon his shirtless unpopcorning could attest), but this woman could probably tie him into knots if she wanted.

"I'd be hard-pressed to think of anything I didn't need help with. Not that I mean to impose," he hastened to clarify. "I'm just ... lost. Really, really lost."

He gave her a self-deprecating little smile. "Also, I'm Dr. Simon Tam. Very very happy to meet you."

Brienne gave him a slight bow. "I'm Brienne of Tarth. And you're not an imposition at all." Oh, good. Maybe she could be useful to someone, even if just for a moment. "This place is easy to get lost in. Where were you headed? I'd be glad to see if I can help you get there."
