Alright, I think I've got this shadow thing worked out.

[Isaac mutters into the video, as he absentmindedly flexes his fingers, casting shadow puppets on the wall. After a few moments, the shadow of his hand peels from where it sits, becoming a separate entity entirely.

He flexes his fingers, and the tangible shadow of his hand flexes as well- except the dark 'fingers' begin to file down to sharp, pointed claws. Useful, even if the shadow is trembling, as if he's still having difficulty keeping it whole.]

Now I wanna see what it can do to someone else. [And Isaac grins back toward the camera, dropping his hand and letting the shadow dissipate into nothing.] Anyone wanna go at it? Powers on powers. No holding back.

I'll be at the arena in fifteen.

[freezerburned]

Yeah, no worries.

[Why does everyone he meet here talk like they're from a medieval movie, geeze.]

Come on down, we'll go a few rounds.

[robb]

[ robb is part of asgard's renfaire sad2say. ]

I shall make my way to the arena. What is your name, ser?

[freezerburned]

Uh- Isaac.

[He sort of raises an eyebrow.]

You don't have to call me sir.

[robb]

You are just known as Isaac?

[ nodding - okay yes, sometimes. it's hard talking to modern people. ]

I suppose it would be simpler to know me as Robb. [ he stops his mouth from going: 'Stark of Winterfell, King in the North. ' ]

[freezerburned]

Alright, Robb.

[He nods. This guy looks to be around his age, he's curious to see what he's all about.]

Yeah, though- my name's Isaac Lahey, but... you know, where I come from, people just call one another by their first name. We're not that formal.

[robb]

It is different in Westeros. [ explaining as he's on the go, the camera shifting as he seems to be gathering his sword. a direwolf trailing close behind him. ]

Habits are hard to break. I find it better than offending. I did not mean to bring discomfort.

[freezerburned]

Westeros- that's where you come from?

[Isaac notices the wolf, and wow, that thing is huge. It makes him pause. Is this guy some kind of alpha?]

...what's up with the dog? I didn't know that the apartments let us have... uh. Pets.

[robb]

Aye. I am of Westeros. From, Winterfell.

[ yes, yes he is. the scrunchiest alpha. ]

No one has protested. [ okay considering he's the size of a pony, no shit. he'll now ask Isaac totally inappropriate questions!! ]

Do you have wolves in your realm?

[freezerburned]

Never heard of it.

[Isaac shrugs, though he can't quite keep his eyes off of the animal.]

And- yeah. Our town... well, we've had attacks. Lots of them.

[In a manner of speaking.]

They thought it was cougars, but it turned out to be wolves. Wolves aren't even supposed to be in our part of the country. [He lifts his eyes, meeting Robb's- cautious, as if trying to glean some bit of information from him.] Isn't that strange?

[robb]

[ it piques robb's attention. he's shifting around his room. placing the sword on it's holster and strapping the belt on his waist. he doesn't notice the brevity in isaac's expression when he says those words. ]

I've heard news of that as well.

I found a litter just out Winterfell. A bitch who'd left a litter of pups. Me and my siblings took one each. I'd found it strange. They'd said there were no wolves past the wall in over a hundred years. I had not known that had happened in other realms.

[freezerburned]

Mm.

[Isaac's- sort of familiar with that story, even if it's not the one he wants to hear. So he tries again.]

You ever heard of werewolves?

[robb]

[ and this is where robb is caught off guard. ]

I have not ser. What are they?

[freezerburned]

[Well in that case. Isaac laughs softly to himself.]

It's a myth. About people who turn into wolves when the moon's full. I dunno, I saw your- uh, pet- and it reminded me of them.

[Pause.]

And it's just 'Isaac'. Not sir.

[robb]

As far as being blessed with powers run, that does seem to be interesting. There was another myth akin that from my realm. It spoke of people who could place their minds in that of that beast. Skin changers they were called.

[ isaac you were the least obvious werewolf. ]

[freezerburned]

[Hey bro, you don't even know what a werewolf is okay.]

Weird. Maybe that's the primitive version.

[Totally not offensive at all lalala]

So your pet, is it- it's not going to bite me or anything is it?

[robb]

You seem to know quite a bit about this lore.

[ ... he smiles. ]

Not unless I give it reason to.

[ he's trying to do that to be friendly. ]

[freezerburned]

Well, it's in every B horror movie on the planet, who wouldn't?

[But even so, Isaac is... a little apprehensive of, you know, a GIANT WOLF. Even though he's sort of dealt with that sort before, now he doesn't have his other powers to fall back on.

Ultimately though, Robb seems nice enough, and Isaac nods in the end.]

Well, then I'll be sure not to give one. I'll see you in a bit, Robb.
