Who: Sansa Stark, and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide; Anonymous
Action: Blue Fish, Iskaulit
When: Afternoon to late evening

( ANONYMOUS TEXT: )

What should you do if someone you have never met -- never in your life -- hates you? What should you do if they are rude and horrible and ill-mannered and they won't tell you why?

I have done bad things. I know I have. But nothing to deserve this.

( ACTION: )

[ when she isn't indulging in her very self-centered sort of misery, sansa is aboard the blue fish. she has finally decided to make a brave attempt to decorate the door to her room, and so far has only managed to paint the bone-white bark of what will eventually be a tree.

and then -- well after the hour when she ought to have been in bed -- sansa does something unanticipated. unexpected. she takes a shuttle all by herself! and she lets it pilot her back to the iskaulit, where she walks the halls with slow and careful purpose until she arrives at the garden. she makes a seat for herself far from the door, and she breathes in the smell of soil and plant-life. already, and despite its bewitching magicks, she misses the well-wooded planet so recently departed. ]

What sort of staring? Hateful, fanciful, or gnaw on your bones staring?

[ why, yes, her bones did feel gnawed upon. down in her very soul. ]

Like disappointment. Like anger, soaked through with dismay.

[ soggy sodden anger. ]

Then ask him to turn his gaze elsewhere. If he refuses, turn yours elsewhere.

You make it sound simple.

[ in the end, simply pleading that he should avert his stare had caused her to tremble with fear. ]

Then I would fully suggest making him think you want to gnaw on his bones, through a stare of course.

Though I would think it quite simple, still.

What if he only gets more angry? What if he retaliates

[ she is not in a position to court danger. ]

Are you not very intimidating, then? Does he seem the type to get angry and retaliate?

He's big. I am not.

Just because he is big does not mean you cannot intimidate him. There are plenty scared of small snakes, certain frogs, even bugs. Not because they are large but because they command the respect in their own way.
