[ There's a new face on the Network today, but he doesn't bother with an introduction. He looks serious, gets right down to business. ]

Hey, I've got a question for everyone.

Where can I find a wheelchair? Preferably a motorized one.

The sooner, the better.

Thanks.

You don't have to help me.

[That's Stubborn Nine-Year-Old Lordling Speak for "woah thanks man".]

[robosnack]

Too late.

[summerschild]

Thank you.

[He does, after all, have noble manners. Sometimes.

He tries to wait at least a moment before spitting out his question.]

... What did Freyr say? Did you answer him?

[robosnack]

So you saw that, huh?

[ Killua makes a face, shrugging and glancing away. He looks aaalmost embarrassed, getting caught trying to be helpful. ]

He said he'd help out in whatever way he can to make sure you can move around comfortably.

Specifically, he offered to bring one of those motorized wheelchairs I was talking about, the kind you can control with just a few buttons, and to install any modifications needed in your room. A ramp down from the main Hall might be a good idea too. I'll suggest it.

[summerschild]

I didn't expect one of the gods to be that kind.

[He's a little stunned, honestly. The gods captured him against his will. Why they would help, he can't imagine.]

Do you think he could put a ramp in my brother's house, too?

[robosnack]

Yeah... my thoughts exactly. I hope he can carry through.

[ ah, yes, the brother piping in suspiciously because he figured out who the wheelchair was for. that sounds like a nice idea, though, having convenient access to anywhere he'll be going a lot. Killua nods, smiling enthusiastically. ]

I don't see why not. If he's a god like he says, that's gotta be super easy for him. Let's ask.

He's waiting for the go-ahead to come over and fix things up. You ready?

[summerschild]

[Especially after learning about said brother's death back home, Bran wants to stay around Robb has much as possible. Starks gotta stick together, they're a dying breed.]

Oh, yes, I'm ready.

[robosnack]

Sounds good. Let's let him know.

It's gonna be so awesome. Maybe you can get him to install cool things on your wheelchair... like a secret snack compartment or a cup holder!

[summerschild]

A cup holder?

[He thinks "cup bearer", and the image fails to make sense.]

I just want to be able to get around by myself. I don't need anything else.

[robosnack]

Yeah, like for holding your drink, or other stuff.

It'll definitely let you get around on your own. At least on relatively flat ground...

[ He offers a smile, genuinely happy for the kid. That's gotta be tough. Killua can respect his resilience, even at such a young age. ]

[summerschild]

And what do I do when the ground's not flat?

[robosnack]

See if Freyr can make you a hoverchair.

[ his face is dead serious, not that Bran will understand that it might be a joke at all. ]

[summerschild]

... A chair that... hovers?

[He works out the self-explanatory term himself, puzzling over the image.]

How is that possible?

[robosnack]

[ Killua laughs, but it's not mean. He loves Bran's awe over all technology. ]

I don't know if it is. But it'd be really neat, right?

[summerschild]

Would it have wings?

[Sorry, he's fascinated.]

You have a lot of strange things in your world, Killua.

[robosnack]

Probably not.

I've never seen anything like it, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible if the guys really a god.

Think of the possibilities. You could just sneak up on people and fly over their heads and-- whoosh!

[ He gestures animatedly with his hand, like something swooping down fast. ]

They'd probably freak out. That would be really funny.

[summerschild]

[He isn't sure how he feels about flying over people's heads. Flying can be a lot like falling, and he doesn't like to think about falling.]

Do you believe they're really gods, then? The people in charge?
