[ When the feed begins, only the side of a boy's face can be seen; blue eye wide but drowsy from lack of sleep, pale skin, and a peek of a mess of auburn hair. He looks young, but weathered. His attention isn't on the camera, though, and when he speaks, it's to address someone else entirely. ]

That isn't yours. [ The camera jostles as he reaches

We've had a major influx of wolves lately, seems like. Um -- Hi...

It's probably no big deal - he's just as hungry as the rest of us, probably, so like... I dunno, offer to fix a wagon wheel sometime if they get mad? Most people are really friendly.

[ It takes Robb a few moments to realize the voice is coming from the strange thing on his wrist. He hits the correct button long before he knows it's on and squints at it. ]

There are other wolves here? [ If he looks surprised, it's because he is. The whole situation is a bit surreal, after all. Not to mention there's the fact she's addressing him from the thing on his wrist. So, he'll focus on that as she gets a decent view of Grey Wind's nose. ] Are you... trapped in there?

What? In the -- the watch-phone thing? No! No, this is just how people talk to each other over long distances here. I'm a real girl - flesh and blood and not an image. Um - I'm probably way ahead of you travel-wise, though, so this is... probably the closest you'll ever see me unless you need help and we wait for you, which - I guess, if I can talk Giles into it -- [ STOP. Stop talking, Buffy, shut up. He's new. He cannot handle your word barf. She pauses and shakes her head. ] Not important. I'm Buffy, I'm not trapped inside your watch, and yes. I talked to someone a few days ago who had a wolf, too.

[ Congratulations, the word barf actually manages to stun Robb into a few moments of silence. He extracts the important parts of what she said, thankfully. He isn't bothered by it, just overwhelmed. ]

A pleasure, Lady Buffy. I am Robb of House Stark, King in the North. [ A pause and a polite smile. ] Might I ask for the name of who you spoke with?

video; that awkward moment when their thread hasn't gotten that far

[protectify]

No "lady" necessary. Just... Buffy is fine. [ She'll just be sunshiney and cute and nice as humanly possible, mmk? ]

Um - I didn't get his name, actually. But he was pretty overwhelmed. He kinda... looked like you, though? A little bit?

video; gkdnfg i hate when that happens

[wolvesremain]

Buffy, then. [ His brows furrow just a little. To address a lady without her title is sort of strange to him. Still, it would be even more rude to force once upon her.

The description get a fond smile out of him. ] Jon Snow, my half-brother.

video; LMAO WELL NOW SHE KNOWS Wuuwuu~

[protectify]

Yep! [ He'll get used to it. She's very fluttery like with her casual life. ]

Ooh! Well, that would explain the resemblance, then. With the curly hair and rugged burly manness that most people haven't seen in... Probably centuries.

video; PROBLEM SOLVED

[wolvesremain]

[ He gives her an odd sort of smile for her description. He isn't sure how to take it. ]

Aye, we've our lord father in common. [ Robb missed Socializing 101, if it isn't obvious by now. ] Have you family here?

video; :D WINNING

[protectify]

[ It's okay, she does that to ... pretty much everyone. ]

Lord father? [ That sounds weirdly religious. ]

Um -- not exactly. We're not related by blood, but he's pretty much the biggest father figure I've had in... ever. His name's Giles. He's very British and cleans his glasses a lot. Can't miss him.

Eddard Stark, once Lord of Winterfell, and Hand to the King. [ And Robb misses just why she's askin about it. ]

British?

[protectify]

Who, where, and a huh? [ Yep. She is the queen of articulate. ]

Uh-huh? Of England. Some places call it Britain still? Scones, tea... That kinda th---I'm... guessing you have just about as much of an idea of what I'm talking about as the reverse.

[ The blank stare he's sporting is pretty telling. ]

You would be correct. That's rather... strange.
