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.

[ 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.
