one ❅ video

[yseult]

[ For those who are familiar with the area, the video makes it obvious that Sansa is sitting on a bench in downtown Heropa, near several small clothing stores. She is wearing the dress that she arrived in, which appears more appropriate for a drafty medieval palace than the warm Florida afternoon. There is a long pause before Sansa speaks, as though she is carefully considering her words. ]

This world is... unusual. To say the least.

I don't mean to... bother anyone. But I was, ah... wondering if someone could help me find clothing here. It is very... different. I'm not entirely sure what a proper lady is expected to wear. People seem to have very different expectations, and none of it is quite what I am used to. Oh, but I'm sure this all sounds odd. Any help would be... greatly appreciated.

[ Surprisingly, this one comes from civilian name over the moniker, but it's encrypted. Not that she expects the young lady to know that, but for anyone else who might be looking for her. ]

It doesn't sound odd at all, little one. [ Spoken with a casual smile and everything. ]

You must be far from home.

[ She almost laughs at that. ]

That's an understatement.

[ Her tone sobers a bit. ]

But it doesn't matter. I haven't been home for a very long time.

[assassinat]

[ Silently tries to place her origin while speaking with her. The manner of dress is almost fictional in a sense, very regal, but nothing she can't pick up easily over the communicator. Shame. ]

And where, might I ask, is home? [ Natasha's hair bounces as she walks while talking, intent on locating her. ]

[yseult]

Nowhere that exists in this world, from what I have gathered.

[ Which is reassuring, in its own way. It's unlikely that anyone here is after her head, as far as she can tell. ]

[assassinat]

[ Interesting. ] Of this you're certain?

[yseult]

[ She gives a small shrug. ]

As certain as I can be of anything, at this point. It is not on any of the maps here, and no one I've spoken to has heard of it.

[assassinat]

The world is funny like that. Most men won't think a place exists if it serves no purpose in their short-sighted lives.

[ Natasha calmly retorts. ] You must be burning up in all that.

[yseult]

[ She lets out a short laugh at that, hiding her amusement behind a hand. It passes after a moment and she gives a small nod. ]

Winter was just beginning where I came from. Though I've heard that the climate here is much different from what I'm accustomed to, regardless...

[assassinat]

I can't say if it is or not. [ This world is a lot like her own, but not quite. Too many differences begin to add up after a while. ]

I'll pick up a book on the way.

[yseult]

I've been told that it does not snow here, even in the winter... Do you think that's true?

[assassinat]

There are some places in this world like that. This area in particular is tropical--have you seen the trees that tower overhead with large leaves? They can't grow in cooler air.

[ She's careful to use words she would understand if she's not from this era. Air instead of climate, tropical, trees, etc. ]

You have been here for a little while, haven't you? Must have seen a lot of people pass by. Anything catch your eye?

[yseult]

I've heard of such places in my own world, but they were very far away. I was not sure I'd ever have a chance to see them for myself.

I did see some ladies who wore lovely blouses, though it was strange that they wore them with breeches.

[assassinat]

That isn't an uncommon sight. A number of women wear them because they are comfortable or to show off their curves a bit more.

I could show you a place where you can try on as many different things as you like. That way you can see what you like best.

[yseult]

Oh, yes, I think that would help quite a bit, thank you.

[assassinat]

Very well. Sounds as if we have a big afternoon planned ahead of us then.

[yseult]

Yes, I cannot thank you enough.
