[ The backdrop is only the wall of her room in House Hel and in place of a missing crown her hair is braided back from her face. ]

I am Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen. I traveled with many of you to the front at Alfheim, though this world remembers my face from a time now lost to me. If we once had dealings in the past I would speak with you of them.

[ Better than bumping into each and every person one at a time, as she's been doing for over a week now. A beat, and she continues. ]

Among you are men and women that claim the Seven Kingdoms their home, to whom my family name and titles are more familiar. Whether you hail from Westeros or the Free Cities and beyond - I make only two simple requests. [ Many of them have already come forward, but there is at least one false name that doesn't match up and one Kingslayer that hasn't shown his face. ] To friends, I ask that you tell me of your time in Asgard. [ Her back and shoulders remain straight, her gaze hardening just a fraction. ] To all others, [ oathbreakers and pretenders alike ] convince me that our cause in this world is truly a common one.

[ And that no blood needs to be spilled on these foreign streets. Their feuds can resume back home where they can be settled and not forgotten.

Or just stay out of her way. Khaleesi out. ]

I've been around since the gods first started bring us in. So I've seen quite a bit. I can tell you as much as I've seen and know, if you'd like.

[Oddly enough his own world was going through a war, so he was use to be somewhat involved in horrible situations.]

Be careful, khaleesi. These people can tell you many things with no proof that what they say is the truth.

[ You can't trust them is what he would prefer to say but you know. Still trying to work his way back into her good graces slowly. ]

[ Threats are what she expected from a murderer, threats could show the Travelers the monster within their ranks.

This response, however, has her taken aback. The reply takes a minute or two longer than the others, for her to calm herself and not say something in public that she might regret. ]

Is it only under your own name that you are so reluctant to speak of the past? Shall I call you Jothos Hill instead?

[ He spoke of her mother, gave respect to her proper titles, flattered her while she tended to his wounds. Would she have put a scalpel in his throat if she had known at the time? She would surely do it now. ]

[ She forgets nothing and he receives no immediate reply

sister's in the middle of business so sorry go bother Jorah ]

Call me whatever you will, for it is not names but war which wearies me. I have fought far longer than you have drawn breath, and I am sick unto death of spilling royal blood.

[ Thanks mom ~~jk she still likes her mom, or you know, would if she had known her~~. ]

I have heard this advice before.

[ Try again. ]

I think she is smart enough to know that. Unless you think her an idiot.

I don't know if I would say it is a worthy fight. Or even if it is a common one.

But we have little choice in it. And so we fight, with the gifts we have been given, for a chance to go home.

Or to simply survive.

[Loras, well. Sometimes it is a struggle for him, here. A mix of emotions, with no true allies from home. Targaryen, Tyrell--the Houses were once close. But with his sister on the throne, now, Daenerys was a direct threat to his sister.

A sister who was not here. And he did not believe that she was as mad as other Targs.

Yet. So speaking in peace, is welcome.]

[ He's gonna stick with it bless ]

Has it ever been untrue?

I think your opinion unwanted and unasked for.

I am a knight. I remain one in good standing. And what are you, exactly?

Then I am glad we are in agreement.

[ Not that she trusts him any more than before, but she has to start somewhere.

She quickly sends another message, this one made private; ]

I have seen Stiles Stilinski's creature. More kitten than dragon, the flame it breathes barely comparable to the same gift given to Travelers. [ She wrinkles her nose. If Loras wants to continue bickering with the boy, that's up to him, but the dragon is no threat to the city in her eyes. ]

The boy threatened to burn my face.

[Loras is a vain creature, so that is a horrible thought; but more pointedly, he had a premonition that he would be burned by boiling oil, soon enough. So the threat, however petty, still cut close.]

I understand many people come from worlds of ease, compared to our own, but their ignorance is sometimes insulting.

I see. [ She doesn't, it's difficult for her to visualize and the lines in her forehead deepen a bit. ] I might be better served learning more about this, ah, gift.

[ Better than admitting she has no money to buy a weapon, even reluctant as she is to practice with her shadows. ]

[ Loras you lil shit ]

Banishment does not strip me of my knighthood, ser. Knights have been made of far less honorable men than I.

[He is handsome, and he is going to charm the socks of Dany. Just you wait. He can pass for straight.]

I know of that, first hand.

But that does not make a very good case for you, either.

It has been misleading.

[ You didn't even try gold star for Ser Jorah ]

Your majesty! Oh, it's splendid to see you again! We used to know one another!

This is the first time we've met, so while I can't call you anything beyond an acquaintance, rest assured, I'm not your enemy.

[ Doubts have insistently accrued in number and intensity since her arrival, but it's only recently culminated in the realization that even written works could prove to be duplicitous. With the influx of contradicting information, working out a rationale had to mean more than blindly acquiescing to clearly biased factions at face-value. ]

How can we know anything for certain here? Records can be forged, personal accounts can be altered. It's a matter of perspective. Given the circumstances, there's no reliable standard for truth here, so we have to rely on our own beliefs.

We were chosen for one sole reason, but that doesn't mean we're united by this cause. As far as convincing you of anything goes, I believe you're more than capable of coming to a conclusion on your own.

[His fingers hover over his bracelet for a second. She's not about to trust him, he knows that--their meeting is proof enough of that much. Still, it's addressed to people from the Seven Kingdoms, people from their world, and he might as well answer with what truths he can give.]

What would you have me say, my lady, to convince you that I only mean to fight to keep our world safe, and this one as well?

And if the Giants attack and destroy Asgard, so we will again. In the end, does that mean you will fight?

A few months! Half a year? Something like that.

Honestly? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if all we've got is their word, because there is a war happening, so what exactly is at stake doesn't make much of a difference. People are still suffering and dying.

That, at the very least, is why we help them.

Yes, I can see. That doesn't take away from my point.

[ The corner of her mouth twitches and she cocks her head to the side. ] Then speak those words to someone that might find use for them. My quarrel is not with anyone that fights for their home, only those that would impede my own efforts.
