Action: The Dusty Moon
When: 9/23

[Just a short broadcast, as this tiny wolf child makes some Serious Contemplations...]

What do you... What makes a person good, do you think? Is it something they can control?

[He can be found out by the stables, getting as close to the horses as he can in his chair, without rolling over their feet. He wishes so hard that he could just climb up and ride one - almost as much as he wishes he could shift into his wolf's skin, and run with the strange fox-dogs out in the desert sand. Today is not a very happy day.]

[Oh, what a question, especially from one so young. Miah has to take a moment to mull over how to answer.]

Good is in one's efforts.

[summerschild]

Even if you do something bad?

[He's so unsure, and his voice sounds far too serious for his age.]

[curiositykilledthecats]

[And that's a look she knows well, the sound of his voice reminding her all too much of her own, when she was that age. A child should not have to sound that way, and yet...]

Even if you have done something bad, as long as you make efforts to make amends, and to not repeat it, it is well. As long as you keep consideration of others, and try to be good, then you will surely be so.

[summerschild]

I won't ever do it again, but... What if I can't make amends with the people I hurt?

[curiositykilledthecats]

... Then you remember them, and continue your efforts.

[summerschild]

Remember them? Like saying a prayer for them?

[curiositykilledthecats]

If it pleases you. But do not forget them, or what you have done. You take care that it will never be repeated.

[summerschild]

It won't be. I'll never do it again, I promise.

[curiositykilledthecats]

Then, as long as you remember that feeling, you need not worry.

[summerschild]

Thank you. I will.

[He wipes at his face, trying to look a little braver.]

What's your name?

[curiositykilledthecats]

Miah Lanbatal. What of yourself?

[summerschild]

Brandon Stark.

[curiositykilledthecats]

I am pleased to meet you, Brandon.

[She lowers her head in a polite bow of greeting, ears back against her head.]

[summerschild]

[He tries not to look too fascinated by her ears, out of fear of seeming rude.]

What world are you from, Miah Lanbatal?

[curiositykilledthecats]

[That makes you the best person she's talked to yet, Bran.]

The world itself is named Hydaelyn. I hail from the city-state of Gridania, on the continent of Eorzea.

[summerschild]

I'm sorry, I haven't heard of any of those places. My world is called Westeros.

[curiositykilledthecats]

Then we are even, for I know not a place by that name, either.

[summerschild]

No one here has known of it so far, except for Ino. She knew my sister.

[As if that is something that makes perfect objective sense.]

[curiositykilledthecats]

... Was your sister here?

[summerschild]

Not here, but in another place like this. Paradisa.
