First Snowfall ❄ video;

[The video feed clicks on and for a second Arya hesitates, unsure if it is actually working due to lack of familiarity with such technology still. She has a question, for any interested parties. She would continue hiding, if not for the fact that it's become apparent there are so many who know who she really is. She has yet to see any Lannisters here either. It seems safe enough to her, to ask that someone help her continue her training with the sword?]

I was wondering, should anyone be capable and willing, if there was anyone who might be able to find time to practice sword fighting with me? I trained some back home and have some experience using it in practice, but I don't want my skills to fall into disuse here.

[With a lack of people to assassinate. Unless someone wants to teach her that.]

I thank whomever might be interested.

[Without much more to add than that, she ends the video there after a few seconds of fumbling with her bracelet.]

[That familiar feeling. This time, it was with a clearer view of her face. she'd met Arya again earlier, upon her return, but hadn't quite recognized her. The connection didn't quite come to her at the moment. The whole thing had been a little awkward, but otherwise uneventful. And now, she was standing there, visible. She looked a little older, maybe a year or a few months. It was really hard to say.

The video feed turned on and the red-head's face was quite visible, looking as shocked as possible.]

A...Arya?!? Is that you?

[Arya had expected an onslaught of more people recognizing her, when she thought to make this post. She wonders idly how often she spoke to people on here. Shouldn't she have been trying to stay out of sight? It would have been dangerous.]

Yes...? You are the woman I met when I arrived. I remember you.

[She blinked. The shock seemed to mount in her face, along with consternation.]

I saw you? When? Arya, why didn't yo...

[And, just then, Samantha looked like she was about to be physically ill. She crumpled a little and sighed. Arya didn't remember anything, and there was a good chance she might take a while remembering when they'd spoken last. She didn't remember, and she'd been obviously keeping her head down somehow to avoid people noticing. The red-head had an inkling about why.]

It really doesn't matter, I guess. You don't remember me from when you were here before. You might be better off.

[Arya falls quiet for a moment. Had she truly not recognized her? How strange, when so many had known her on sight.]

When I first arrived...? I lied to you and told you to call me Nan.

[Arya shakes her head, finding the girl's reaction odd. If it was her sister, that was one thing, but she truly did not know this girl despite their past dealings.]

No, I still do not recall it unfortunately.

Oh... then. I didn't get a good look at your face. [For all that she was a clever girl, Samantha did have a tendency not to pay attention to some details. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. At least she knew when. That helped some.]</small. No, I don't expect you to. They do this from time to time. You were here once before, but you disappeared just before the big fight. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you before.

It's fine. I had my hood up. [Arya does not know how to comfort this girl, if it's even necessary. She feels very strange that someone would be so troubled by not knowing she was there. It was one thing that it was her sister or her brothers, but this girl was a stranger to her still.]

I heard about the fight some and it's fine you didn't recognize me. I didn't know you either.

[The expression on Samantha's face was a deeply uncomfortable thing. She looked physically ill and was glancing away from the feed, shaking her head. How did she react to all of this. Did she just start again?]

No... you didn't. I'm sorry. This isn't easy. You were one of the first people I met when I was here. We talked a lot.

[She'd also almost tried to kill Arya twice. It had been horrendously complicated.]

Are you alright, aside from needing lessons with Needle?

You don't have to apologize. My loss of memory is the work of the gods of this realm and something neither of us can control.

[It tugs at her heart a little, to see someone upset on her behalf, worried on her behalf. Starks were nothing without honor and she honored her commitments, even in friendship.]

I am well, I've settled in fine. This device is still a bit confusing. How do people make words with it? I've seen some write letters with it. I know how to spell, of course, but writing with this bracelet is strange...

[Someone would have to teach her eventually how to type, right?]

I'm not much use to you in fighting training. The way I fight's not at all like yours.

[A hand reached down and drew out a sickle from her waist. A chain led from it to a weight several feet down. She managed a dark laugh, shaking her head.]

But the bracelet? I could explain that to you easily enough. It would make me feel a little less like punching whichever god was behind this, because if you're still in the same house, that wouldn't go too well. He's kind of a brute.

We... could catch up, if you wanted.

Oh, I see. That's fine then.

[Arya studies the sickle for a long moment, laughing at her comment about Thor's character.]

I'm still in the house I was previously, yes. He's not that bad! I like him well enough. [For now.]

We can catch up, yes. I wouldn't mind that.

He's better than most of them. I'm just mad at him today's all.

[More furious, but she didn't want to say that out loud. She swallowed when Arya agreed to meet and nodded. She almost wanted to just tell Arya to stay away and save herself the trouble, that it would end badly one of these days.

But, in the end, she had stuck with her despite those times, how close they had come to everything going bad, and she'd helped protect her a few times. Sam didn't want to just give up on that.]

Would you like me to call you in a day or two, or come over today? I have some time one way or another.
