Will there be swooning and sighing as well? Otherwise I cannot accept this offer.

[Robb raises his hands when she tries to support him.] Oh no, my lady, I am a man grown, I can move on my own. [The three hairs on his chest say so.]

But stone cannot live. Unless she has greyscale. [A shocked expression appears on his face.] Gods! She does not have greyscale, right?

[bryces_pup]

If you insist. Though I should say, I'm not terribly good at it. I can't quite seem to get that dramatic air down that's so essential to a good swoon. I make for a terrible noble lady.

[Oh fine. Be stubborn. If he falls on his face she'll let him.]

I think not, given I have no idea what that is. Shale used to be a dwarf centuries ago. She was made into a stone golem.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

As long as you do not pass your gas in public I do not mind. Only this time. Any other time I would have huffed and stuck my nose in the air.

[How do dwarfs change to stone? Robb starts to laugh.]

That sounds like a story old Nan would tell in front of the fireplace! A stone golem dwarf then!

[bryces_pup]

Robb Stark, that is disgusting! [Luckily she is laughing rather than being genuinely offended. Ladies do not fart thank you.]

It is quite the story, at least what little I know. Thedas is full of odd things, so much which I knew nothing about until the past two years.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

Everyone passes gas, my lady. Even horses. [And wolves too.]

I have no doubt! [He snorts softly.] The only odd thing about Westeros is... [Well, what is truly odd? Some rumors, mayhaps. And old legends.] It is not exactly odd...but we used to have dragons.

[bryces_pup]

[She's gonna let the gas thing drop. 'Tis not a subject a lady she dwell on for any length of time.]

So I have heard. Be glad you only used to. [According to Dany, the dragons live again, but she'll just leave that bit out.] Thedas still has them presently, and they're a pain.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

I think dragons are... [Well, they are very impressive. And the stories of the Targaryen kings, princes and princesses riding them have always fascinated him. At times when he Jon and him were young they pretended to be them, running around Winterfell’s courtyard while kicking fallen leaves aside.

So he smiles.] The old royal family of Westeros used to ride them into battle. When I was young I always imagined being one of them. [He is still a bit young, but scratch that.] It must be rather amazing to ride one. High up in the sky. Gods, you would be able to see everything!
