[oh don't worry, they still manage plenty of petty squabbles all the while. People are people after all.]

Mm, a very long one. It's been nearly a century, I believe.

[steeledskin]

I do not think even Westeros has had a war waged so long, ser.

[save_the_souls]

That may be because most humans don't live long enough to wage that long a war.

[Fucking immortals amirite]

But I'm afraid I'm not the best person to ask about the war's history. [He gives a shrug] I was just a soldier, really. My friend Lavi was more the historian sort.

[steeledskin]

Beg pardon, but you're uncommonly well-spoken for someone who was merely a soldier.

[save_the_souls]

Am I? [He laughs]

Well...my first medical teacher did make me read a dictionary.

[steeledskin]

[ half-maester, half-knight. she does not know what to make of him -- but bran's friendship buys him leniency. ]

I've never read one. [ cautious. ] Is it good?

[ she thinks it's a story. ]

[save_the_souls]

[He shakes his head, a chuckle in his voice]

Ah- no. It's very dull. [To explain:] A dictionary is a book that is a list of almost all the words in a language, and their definitions. They're usually used just as a reference if you find a word you don't know- not something you read cover to cover.

[steeledskin]

Then Maester Luwin was my dictionary. [ ... ] If there was a word I could not read, I asked him. Or my Lord Father.

[save_the_souls]

Master Luwin or your Lord Father, huh? They must be very well educated.

[steeledskin]

Maester Luwin is. [ she smiles -- caught up in the explanation. so caught up, indeed, that she forgets her tenses. ] He studied at the Citadel, as all maesters do.

[ she'll not say anything else about her lord father -- he was well-educated but not, she fears, all that clever. that's what petyr tells her. ]
