[theshabbiestofmen]

All right. I shall simply have to settle for that, I suppose.

[wolfdreamer]

There is a doctor looking for samples of them. She would be better helped by one that was yet alive.

[text]

[theshabbiestofmen]

How certain are you that you could manage to keep it in check?

[doggedly]

S' your birthday present as well, I hope you realise.

[theshabbiestofmen]

It's all right to admit you're just trying to get out of getting me something.

[text]

[wolfdreamer]

[Another pause, and then he admits:]

I have already tried it. I could practice at it.

[text]

[theshabbiestofmen]

How did it go? Are you all right? Was anyone hurt?

[doggedly]

What a thing to say! I always get you the very best presents, you know that. I'm only saying, the way you're carrying on about this, it clearly means a great deal to you. So.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, but we're not at home, are we? You're bound to run into more difficulties this year.

[text]

[wolfdreamer]

They are angry. I found one that was far from everything so no one was hurt. And I am all right.

I think there is something different about them.

[text]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Different how?

[doggedly]

Sorry, but are you suddenly a seer? I could get you brilliant presents if I were buried underground, all right, have a little faith!

[text]

[wolfdreamer]

They aren't only animals. I think they were made of some magic.

[theshabbiestofmen]

It's not a lack of faith, it's common sense. There's a difference-- quite like my faith in Jenna to outdrink you, actually.

[text]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Humans transformed into animals? Or do you mean animals and magic together?

[doggedly]

Yes, well, I defy common sense. I always have.

[theshabbiestofmen]

You lack it, you mean.

[text]

[wolfdreamer]

I don't know. But they feel wrong.

[doggedly]

Po-ossibly. But it is a lack that helps me to defy it, so. There you are.

[text]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Have you told anyone else?

[text]

[wolfdreamer]

I asked the doctor if I could be of help. The Lady Elizabeth Ross. I did not tell her that I had tried to borrow their skin but she might know.

And Alayne. And Jon Snow. But no others.

[text]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Not Robb? And perhaps you should tell her. Someone who wants to study such things-- but I'd like to be with you when you try. I can heal easily, so if you lose control, I can hold you back until you regain it.

[text]

[wolfdreamer]

Robb will say no as well. Just as they all have.

I don't know that I want to be studied. But she is interested. She has said anyone could be there but I will have to think.

[text]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Study the creature, not you yourself. Would you be all right with that?

[text]

[wolfdreamer]

[A pause.]

I think she means me. She is interested in warging. But she seems kind.
