Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

[ takes her hand and squeezes it lightly ]

It was, though maybe less so at the end. It wasn't healthy. I miss my parents though. My mother was beautiful.

Like the moon wasn't healthy?

[ she dares hope its people will find a kinder fate. ]

Like you.

[ a little smile ]

Did you have brothers and sisters, too?

Yes, like the moon, but much more... volatile.

[ she shakes her head ]

Just me. My cousin was saved as well, but we weren't raised together on Earth.

I have an adopted sister, though. She's wonderful, and a little older than me. She looked out for me.

Like a sister by birth would have done.

[ she nods. ]

Like my brothers would do for me were they here. Loras is especially protective, he used to frown at the young men who would speak to me when I was younger.

Didn't want any untoward advances on his sister? Some things are consistent, at least.

He certainly did not.

[ she chuckles ]

He was the ladies' favorite, however. He is gallant and so handsome. were he to come here, all the women of all the planets would wish for his favor.

You speak very highly of him. Is he older?

I am the youngest. Some people say we look like twins, he and I, we have similar features. He is the Knight of Flowers and I the Rose of Highgarden. He is the one I am closest to, he is very keen on my protection and my happiness as I am on his.

[ excellent with a sword but her own wits are sharper. put together, they make for a good duo]

I do hope you're reunited, soon. How would he handle being here?

He would loathe it.

[ she chuckles ]

No horses to ride or tourneys to win. He would have loved the war games on the moon, however. I do not think he favors any form of idleness, not for long. He enjoys riding all too much to be happy here.

Fair enough.

How are you doing, here? You don't seem like one for idleness either.

I learn what I can - there is so much to learn here so it is not being idle entirely. I do miss the sun, I've gone a shade paler since I came here. I miss the gardens and the sunlight. It would be easier if we could have that.

[ the faux light is helpful but not at all the same. ]

I feel the same way. My abilities are actually powered by the sun, so I'm not very strong here.

Are they truly? You must miss it more than I. You can still fly - are you ill? can anyone do anything to help you?

No, not ill. Just more regular. And Winn is working on a solution that synthesizes sunlight. It'd be good for the flowers too, I bet.

Mayhaps then we could have a little garden aboard the Windrose and I could read my books there as well as here. I do favor this spot greatly.

If we get it to a point where it's safe, then you'll be the first to know.
