Who: Arya Stark
Broadcast: Shipwide
Action: Planetside, outside the inn she's staying in.


[ the camera comes on and for a moment it's on arya's face before it turns to show the sky, filled with stars. ]

Did you know that stars are made of very hot gas? [ because she didn't. not until the moment she woke up on the ship. arya isn't a little girl anymore, life has changed her, morphed her into something she never was. yet she's not as bitter or jaded, she hasn't had a chance to change that much. but still, the world is a darker place to arya stark. she'd been angry when she first got here, she's still angry but she's done her exploring.

the little girl in her shines through as she turns the camera back to her face and she grins-- ]

Like farts.

...That's definitely one way of looking at it.

[Normally, responding to messages about fart jokes is not his thing exactly, but look, he gets distracted by science and the opportunity to teach it.]

Guess that's not general knowledge where you're from?

General knowledge?

[scanninggaydis]

Not something that most people know?

...Or anyone, I guess.

[aliased]

Oh. [ she looks skeptical before nodding.] No one taught me about what stars were.

[scanninggaydis]

No one tried to explain them at all?

[Even less scientifically advanced cultures usually have their own explanations for what stars are.

He leans in towards the camera just a little.]

[aliased]

Yes but... they were just stories.

[scanninggaydis]

Ah, got it.

[She means no one taught her this about stars. Right.]

What were the stories? Out of curiosity.

[aliased]

That falling stars and comets were omens.
