The light rains this morning were pleasant to behold. Already it is cooling outside, and the evening air is damp

[This brings rich laughter to the verge of Isley's lips, but it does not burst free. He contains himself, smiles instead, and nods his head.]

Did you doubt, Robb Stark?

If I had, this would have dispelled all of it. You sound like the men of my homeland.

Thank you. I could not ask for a finer compliment, I think.

Of course, that is the nature of northern lands, wouldn't you agree? It shapes its inhabitants, it hardens them. Those of northern regions know a hard living, know what it is to fight for their survival. Each day is a fight against the blistering cold, for the food they eat, for their warmth...just to keep those fires burning against the biting winds.

But I would not trade it for summer lands. I have been to them, wandered the green fields and dense forests, gazed up at blue skies and felt the warmth of the rays from the sun. None of it compares to the North.

More or less, but their duties will not be strictly limited to the keeping of my house.

Are you expressing an interest in the position? If not, I'm afraid the nature of what the job entails is of little concern to you.

[He almost sounds like he's smirking. Oh, wait. He is.]

[swordofthenorth]

Do you welcome it as I do?

[Video]

[swordofthenorth]

I agree. Anatolian winters are severe at times. Doubtless...there are those who would take the changing of the seasons much too lightly.

[A package? He wonders, maybe even feels a bit of apprehension. But there is, of course, but one answer to the request:]

Of course. Would you like me to fetch it now?

[swordofthenorth]

Please, Merlin. That would be very good, and I would be grateful. Promise me that you will be with him when he opens it?

[pratservant]

[That, too, is an easy answer.]

It's my duty to do such things. And you have my word that I will be.

[A pause.]

I'll try not to get mud all over.

[swordofthenorth]

I would appreciate that. It's crucial it arrive in good condition. Much of what lies inside would be ruined were it to get wet or spattered with mud.

I've ivories to give you for making this trip for me, and I will double the amount if you accomplish the task without harm coming to the package.

I thought that's what Rigaldo was for.

[SHE'S KIDDING. You know, mostly.]

[swordofthenorth]

Sometimes, but it would seem our Rigaldo has an admirer and I would like to give them some personal time to interact.

[Trollolololol~]

Re: video

[yetsleeping]

An admirer, really?

...well, he is rather attractive.

[swordofthenorth]

I...suppose. I cannot say that I have ever really thought of him that way myself.

[Stare.]

[You dare troll him in return. You dare!]
