I try not to think about the audience. Not that it makes them go away. [She knows that's a dangerous way to be, but the paranoia, fear, and restriction that would come from censoring her life all the time aren't worth it to her.]

I get the uneasy. If it didn't make you uneasy you wouldn't be paying attention.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

Indeed. Not thinking about them won’t make them leave. I am sure they are watching us now through ways only modern people know.

[There were times he has been less aware of it. Not entirely busy with what his role actually is. But now he feels uncomfortable, looking over his shoulder a couple of times.]

In Westeros we do not have these reality shows. Gods be good, I haven’t even seen a play in my entire life. [Artists never came to Winterfell. Eddard Stark had always seemed rather adamant about it...]

[passingthrough]

Not even a play? This isn't your first dance is it? [Wondering if all the arts were held back.]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

My lord father hardly allowed bards and other artists. [It was because of Jon.] But I have been taught how to dance. That my father refused bards, would not mean that other lords did not invite them.

[passingthrough]

Then your lord father didn't know what he was missing. [Was he allergic to music and art?] And I'm glad I didn't have to break you in completely for dancing.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

It had other reasons. [He had a bastard son and he did not want the world to know.] Well, to be honest, I do not know these modern dances. They seem rather repetitive and dull.

[A bright smile appears on his face for a moment.]

You should have been there when the entire Great Hall burst out in singing The Bear and The Maiden Fair. Those were good times.

I'm just bad at ending things is the moral of the story

[passingthrough]

Repetitive and dull? Strong words. Okay, show me your fantastic dance and I won't make you sing the song.

Haha same here :")

[kingofbadlifechoices]

I cannot dance on this music. [He shakes his head and laughs.] Most dances I know are done with a larger group. And the ones done with a lady are more... It is more of a pattern of hopping at certain tones or moving like that when the flute sounds.

[passingthrough]

Pattern of hopping sounds more like a children's game to me. I have a feeling neither of us is winning the great battle over whose time and world has better dances.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb frowns when Kitty calls it a children’s game. His dances aren’t a children’s game at all.]

You do not know if you haven’t tried it first. I think these modern dances look as if people have gone mad. [A nod.] Terribly mad, even.

[passingthrough]

Maybe that's part of the fun of them, but you're right. I should try yours first. And you can try the mad dancing.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

Let us make it a promise then.

[He extends his hand and offers it her to seal it with a hand shake.]

You teach me how to dance more modern, and I shall teach you mine in return.

[passingthrough]

[She puts her hand in his.] You've got yourself a deal. I hope you're up for it.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

A man never backs away from a promise.

[OOC: end it here?]
