Indeed. It is a place named Alfonse from which I hail, although I doubt that you have heard of it. You don't strike me as a young man born of the same world as I.
Nevertheless, the northern lands of various worlds on the other side of the Door seem to have the blistering cold in common. It has been brought to my attention that you too are from such a wintry region.
[A brief pause, for dramatic emphasis, and then Isley continues once more. At last a smile alights upon his face.]
Strangely enough, we've more in common than that, or so I am told.
You own a creature known as a direwolf, correct? Quite recently I've also come into possession of one. I was wondering what you might be able to tell me of these animals, and whether or not they come from your world. I've already seen for myself how quickly they grow, and how territorial they become.
[Listening listening listening - oh, there we go.]
Direwolves are rare where I'm from, rarely seen South of the Wall. They are also the sigil of my father's house. Ghost was an orphaned pup and now my companion. If you have one, it would be wise not to underestimate it.
Chances are this dinner will take place AFTER the anniversary event XDswordofthenorthOctober 19 2011, 17:37:15 UTC
I have invited your father to dine with us in our household, but I am charged with arranging a date and time. Do you have a preference, Jon?
As well, I would like the rest of your family to attend if they are able. Would you speak to them on my behalf?
I also expect to have in attendance Rigaldo, Dawn, and Lelouch. The first because he lives with us, the second as a personal guest of my own, and the latter because I have taken him into my services and he shall be taking care of all the preparations.

Jon Snow, is it?
[He folds his hands beneath his chin, but a smile has yet to grace his smooth features.]
My name is Isley . . . Isley of the North. Pardon my forwardness, but I am told we have a few things in common.

[You have his attention with that.]
What kind of 'things'?

---in case he's lying.
I don't know. I don't know if he is, or...
...Tyrion Lannister has asked to speak with me in person. Would that I could say no.

When and where does he wish to speak to you?

[And then, curiously:]
Is there an occasion for it?

[A pause.]
And, come to think of it, it is about time I put all those chairs in the dining area to use.
[Never mind the dining area itself.]

[Jon smiles a little at that.]
What can I do, Isley?
