asgardeventide | first wildling ❄ ( video )

Oi, [Comes the booming voice of one redhead, trying to understand this thing on her wrist. For a moment she shakes her wrist before looking back down.]

You lot, if y'can see me. [She's just looking down scornfully. Wildlings don't even understand Southern technology and you want to throw this at her.]

I have a few choice words for your gods, but first. Jon Snow, if y'be here, you best reply to me here. Don't think I've forgot about you, just 'cuz I've wound up here. You know nothing. [She has some hope that if these gods could choose her, he'd be here, too. Then the Crows wouldn't matter (not that they did to begin with). But neither would the Wall nor her people.]

You other lot, not bein' Jon Snow, I'd ask the same as I did them girls I talked to. What keeps you from goin' outside the city? Where I'm from we do as we please, the Free Folk. No god cares 'bout what we do as men. Or women. Why fight their war? I fought my own war because some Southern king decided years ago he'd put my people behind some great wall. I decided to be a spearwife to lodge me own spear up every Crow whose crossed into our land's ass. [That didn't exactly happen, but semantics.]

It was my lands though. If y'can't fight for what's yours, maybe you never deserved it. Don't need no named god tellin' me that.

What'd y'mean universe? These lands? [She comes from a very simple time, Doctor.]

Universe is these lands, its skies and beyond.

[She looks up.] Stars and moon and shiny bits? You can go there?

[ He has to laugh at shiny bits. ]

Yes, you can. With the right tools and knowledge.

[ Studies her for a moment. Shiny bits ... ]

You remind me of someone.

Only left my lands once. And here I thought seein' a castle was some grand ole thing and you've seen stars.

[And she may be impressed.]

I don't get that often.

[ He raises his hands. ]

Hey, I like castles too. Won't knock the castles.

We don't have them neither. Just villages. No lords though.

That's good. I don't like having lords either.

So you don't kneel to anyone? [She may just like you.]

No.

I've got bad knees.

[ That's a joke. Obviously. ]

[She laughs at it, too.]

I like you. You know things, and you're funny. What's your name?

Me in a nutshell. I'm the Doctor. And you, free girl?

Ygritte. Of the Free Folk above the Wall.

It's lovely to meet you, Ygritte.

And you, Doctor. But I'd like to learn more o' those verse things. With the stars.

Universe. I'd be happy to tell you anything you'd like to know.

[ He's going to adopt you now, Ygritte. That's a thing that's going to happen. ]

What's it like? [It's all she can think of. Her life has always been so limited that breaching the Wall seemed a monumental task. A universe is unimaginable.]

It's ... never-ending. Every time you blink something somewhere out there has changed. Every time you blink a star is born, and a star dies. Every time you blink there are rocks forming together into a new world and another falls apart. Every time you blink a new form of life begins and another ends. Every time you blink someone's born somewhere out there, on a far off world, and someone else dies. Every time you blink someone has their first kiss, and someone has their last. Every time you blink someone out there sees the sky for the first time, and someone else the last.

[The concepts are enormous, but beautiful. She can think of each star in the sky and imagine everything he says. Still she's a bit smart mouthed, so his little monologue gets a smirk.]

So don't blink.

[ That gets a bark of laughter, loud and unabashed. ]

Quite right. Blink and you miss something. It's a horrid fate.

[She seems pleased that she's made him laugh.]

So y'follow it all? Every universe and every star and every story? All o' it?

Nahh, that's impossible. So many stories. I dip in at some points. I only have the privilege to really follow a few.

They must be the really good ones. [She pauses.]

I'd like to hear'em sometimes. I can trade ya a story for a story.

I think that is a brilliant idea.

[She smiles wider at being called brillaint.]

When I settle, I'll have t'come find you.
