[ She looks composed, at least, when she appears, despite the chatter of multiple footsteps around her in the background. At some point, he'll see Irriella pop onto the corner of the visual feed: a large, wet nose. ]
Thankfully, I think we're far from that sort of adventure.
[ Then back to business. ]
Jon and I are traveling to Einjar again and I've no wish to bring Irriella this time. The number of predators on the first expedition meant my attentions were divided between she and our caravan. She's not a wolf. Are you planning on joining the expedition, or will you remain in one of the cities?
[Rocket sees where this is going and his head tips to the side with a scowl. She wants him to babysit her animas? But he had been looking for a distraction and an excuse to get away from the conflict around the City of the Free Peoples for a while and Lylla would enjoy having someone more interested in playing around than Rocket ever was. It didn't seem like the city was going to cool off any time soon, either.]
I ain't going to that place. I've heard what happened the first time.
Don't think you'll want me keeping her where I've been staying, though. The Duke's gotten busy these days and not the good kind of busy. [The kind of busy where he constantly expects it to go up in flames. He hasn't even been to his room there in weeks.]
[ Scowling. Well, at least it's not an outright no, which means she can ignore that look in favor of maintaining her own neutral expression. Patience, Dany, this sort of request would've been met with the same incredulousness. ]
No, I don't. We purchased property just recently, north of Didymos. The ruins of Winterfell are an hour or two's walk from the house, as well as a purported hot springs the Starks frequented in the past. I imagine you could find a great deal, if you felt the forests were of interest.
[ The first time, though, in Einjar... Yes, she can't blame him for that--especially with what the king's told them of current events. Her smile is forced, small. ]
I would pay you for your troubles, of course... in addition to the cost of the airship if you decide to fly to Didymos on our behalf.
Next time lead with "I would pay." I'll be there first flight tomorrow. [He did listen to the rest of what she said, and it's highly likely Rocket will go snooping around the place, but for the most part any paid excuse to get away from the city he's in is a good one.]
