001 ❄ AUDIO

[thepointyend]

I wanted to go to the Wall, stupid. I don't care about devices. I only want to know where the docks are. And where Saltpans went.

[There's a slight pause, after which the girl speaking only sounds more agitated.] How can I ask this to explain? It doesn't know anything. You don't, either, if you think this can talk to me. I'll find someone else if you're too stupid to help me. I bet you don't even know what direction north is.

The Wall. I'm going to get passage on a boat.

Well, I mean, I could get you a map...you're probably not gonna be happy if you make it all the way up there, though.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

Why not?

audio;

[commarogue]

There's no wall. Just beach.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

I don't want to got to a beach, though.

[commarogue]

Hey, you wanna go out there, be my guest. All I'm saying is have fun trying to not get lost in the woods and don't bitch at me when you find the water and no boats.

audio;

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

I wasn't going to.

audio;

[commarogue]

Good choice. [ Sigh. ] Look, I get it if it's something you have to go do. Did the same thing when I got here.

[She's still planning on looking, but she at least sounds a little less defensive now.]

Did you find anything?

audio;

[commarogue]

Monsters in the woods and no one willing to take me out on the water. And no offense, but I'm sure I've got better methods of persuasion than you.

audio;

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

I have persuasion. I've got money. [And Needle.]

audio;

[commarogue]

Yeah, you don't have tits or a mean right hook though, kid.

audio;

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

I don't know what that means.

[commarogue]

Look, check out the City for a couple of days. You end up still wanting to go out there? Give me a ring, I'll go with you. Name's Faith, you can find me at the Youth Center.

[Arya thinks about that for a minute, chewing her lip.]

I suppose a couple more days can't hurt. What if I don't have a ring?

audio;

[commarogue]

It's an expression. Just means call me.

audio;

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

Using... this?

[Her earlier conversations have at least taught her that her device is the main method of communication here, even if too sure about it.]

audio;

[commarogue]

Yeah, it's really easy. If you can't figure it out, find the Youth Center. Everyone there knows me.

audio;

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

All right.

[Then, almost as an afterthought...] Thank you.

audio;

[commarogue]

[ She's quiet for longer than is probably appropriate. ]

Yeah, uh. No prob. See you around.
