[ It's late at night, or very early morning, and Theon Greyjoy is standing in front of a wide-open window, examining his Forge suspiciously. Close, then distant, then jostled and skewed as he gets the hang of it. ]

Strange voices.

[ And familiar ones. It hadn't taken much toying for the scared dulcet tones of Brandon Stark to filter tinny to his

Winterfell.

Are you another Stark, then? This world seems quite fond of that particular family.

[turncloak]

[ And now he does smile, more like a smirk, laughing at some private joke. ]

A Stark? Not I.

[ If it were possible to rake his eyes over her through only a video feed, then that is what he'd be doing. ]

But that's a question, beautiful lady, not an answer.

You find yourself in Anatole, not-a-Stark. And people are normally rather friendly, here. Although I expect it depends on who you are. You aren't the first from Westeros to stumble through that stone arch.

[She gives him look - steely distance and curiosity all at once.]

You shouldn't look at me so.

[turncloak]

Should I not? You are extraordinarily beautiful. If I did not look upon you I would consider my eyes ill used.

[ And he keeps looking. ]

Who I am is Theon Greyjoy, Prince of the Iron Isles, Commander of the Sea Bitch, and the current Lord of Winterfell, though I imagine I may have to start leaving off that last title.

[ Welp! ]

[ Tonks thinks it's a bit weird that so many from the same world have arrived so soon together. What's up with that Door? ]

You're in Anatole. I'm afraid that for the time being, you're a bit stuck here.

[video]

[turncloak]

[ Theon's eyes go hard. ]

Ah, the Wildling bitch. At least we shall be stuck together, if I do not stick you first. You swore me an oath.

[video of threadjack]

[sonvisage]

Stick her with what, exactly?

[She's smiling, but it's very predatory.]

[video]

[turncloak]

Whatever comes to hand. I should have put an arrow in her throat the day we met.

[isherarmor]

[Just a gasp, and then an eye very close to the Forge - and all the spinning ever because she's thrown it across the room, where it's upended itself to show only a rabbit at the foot of the bed.]

No!

[Her voice it breaks a little at first speech, but she continues on, with bitterness.]

No, it is not Winterfell.

[She's out of frame, and poised to come nearer or fling the Forge out of the fucking window, she's not really decided yet.]

[video]

[turncloak]

Temper, temper. You'll break it if you're not careful. Such an impossible instrument cannot be cheap.

[video]

[isherarmor]

It is as cheap as your word. As your honor.

[And not quite successfully keeping the tears from her voice.]

Theon how could you!?

[video]

[turncloak]

With about twenty men, apparently.

[Video]

[turncloak]

Ah, I've gone mad, then. I thought perhaps I might.

[Video]

[turncloak]

I have dreamed your shade.

[ Theon's voice is hoarse, weary. He sits on the floor and leans against the wall, tips his head back and gives a bitter chuckle. ]

The miller's sons, where are they? I dream of them as well. I suppose little Beth Cassel can come along, she must be dead by now, given I am in an impossible place called Anatole rather than taking her head from the noose. Bring them! Mikken and Chayle and Farlen, lead each one before me and let them ask for their explanation.

I have none to give, Eddard Stark. My father wanted Deepwood Motte. I gave him Winterfell. I gave him dead children. I gave him vengeance for my brothers. It was not enough.

[Welp, as far as first impressions go... his language is quite bad. And he doesn't seem confused by the Forge, despite his clothing seeming to suggest that he isn't quite modern.]

Well, I can hardly speak for each individual here, sir, but I can say that as I don't know you, I couldn't possibly be your enemy or your friend as yet.

[video]

[turncloak]

A distinction not many make.

I must say, whether the Stranger has taken me or I have given in to madness, there are more beautiful women here than I expected. If you would like to come to a decision on the matter, I would be more than happy to help you get to know me.

[video]

[calamitousnaiad]

I believe it best not to judge anyone without knowing them first. I have not been the best at following my own advice in past, but I do try.

[At the moment, though, she's not really sure how to feel about him, so her expression remains a little reserved.]

I'll take your offer, I think. Perhaps you could start with your name?

[video]

[turncloak]

With or without titles, if it please you?
