Who: Bran Stark and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The HS Marsiva Hospitality Deck
When: 6/13

[On the Hospitality Deck, there's a little lump of dirt and fur on the floor next to one of the cots, twisted up in the white sheets. Bran had woken up in a fit of panic, scrabbling for the damp floor of the Queenscrown holdfast, and then-]

Is anyone there? Hello?

[A bump on his head aches from the tumble. He doesn't understand what he's seeing in front of him, through the clear glass of the bowing windows. It makes him dizzy, and he rubs at his nose with one grubby hand. His fur cape is still muddy from the thunderstorm, making him look a bit like an abandoned puppy.]

I need some help!

[He tries to use the cot to pull himself back up, but with a click the wheel unlocks, and sends the bed teetering towards anyone coming across the floor. Oops...]

The boy with the metal leg offered to make me a chair with wheels.

[ino]

[ Boy with the metal leg ... ? Hm. She's ot sure she knows who he's referring to, but it's a nice gesture anyways ]

A wheelchair, you mean. I think the captain of the Red Fish uses a wheelchair, too.

[summerschild]

[His face lights up at this.]

He does? [Apologies to Nunnally; Westeros isn't quite gender-progressive.] Are his legs like mine?

[ino]

I'm not sure exactly what the trouble is with her legs, but I've never seen her out of it, so I assume she can't use them.

[summerschild]

And she's still able to be captain of her ship?

[ino]

[ She seems a little surprised, and wonders if he's been told he can't do anything because of his condition ...

Or worse, maybe he really can't, thanks to the lack of technology in his world ]

Well, yeah, of course.

[summerschild]

I'm glad.

[He had not been told he couldn't do anything, but he could feel it, and he could see it in his family's eyes.]

Perhaps I could be one too, someday.

[ino]

[ A little smile. There's the whole thing where people don't age here and you're nine so no one is going to take you seriously, but -- it's cute, so: ]

I don't see why not.

[summerschild]

[Of course they'd take him seriously. He's seriously adorable.]

I'm able to ride a horse, and shoot a bow from it. Perhaps there are other things I could do, then, with a wheelchair.
