Well, that's interesting in a completely different way than I expected. What happened?

[tallasaking]

My brother nearly murdered a young boy by the name of Bran Stark, for catching him and my sister ... well. Incest is popular, where I come from. The boy's mother had me locked up in her sister's dungeon - terrifying that. They also accused me of killing her sister's husband as well. I apparently had a very busy week.

[irrevenant]

...

I take it back, this place sounds way better than the shit hole you're from.

No disrespect.

But that's fucked up.

[tallasaking]

That, my dear Wynonna, is Westeros.

[irrevenant]

That definitely sounds worse than Purgatory.

Though now that I think about the incest thing maybe they're not that different...

[tallasaking]

I am not sure what they are getting up to in Purgatory, whereever that is, but if it is more incest then I'd say they are right on par.

[An elegant shrug.] If I could escape here, and there, I would.

[irrevenant]

I'm just saying: limited gene pool for some of the locals.

Well, you already figured one of those out. Now if only we could figure out a way to get out of space hell.

[tallasaking]

The limited gene pool is quite a problem. Probably why we are looking to spread out.

That ... we are still trying to figure out. What precisely do you bring to the table to help us escape, if you do not mind me asking?

[irrevenant]

A bad attitude and a history of challenging authority?

[tallasaking]

...Well that should do the trick.

[He saluted her solemnly with his drink.]

[irrevenant]

I'm not usually a team player but if it gets us out of here, I'll try to make it work.

[tallasaking]

[One corner of his mouth lifted up.]

So you are something more of a lone wolf, wandering the wilderness, in search of whiskey and no true ties?

[irrevenant]

That sounds awesome, so yes. Let's go with that.

[tallasaking]

Very well, she-wolf. [He solemnly lifted his glass to her.] May you never settle.

[irrevenant]

[ she laughs and clinks his glass ]

She-wolf. Nice.

You know, the idea of an Alpha Male wolf was totally debunked. Turns out wolves in captivity behave differently than they do in the wild. Wonder if our people understand that.

[ that's a tangent but whatever. it doesn't occur to her that he wouldn't even be from a place where that science was relevant ]

[tallasaking]

[He put a hand to his chest and bowed. Then his gaze became curious.]

Is that so? How are they different?

[He might not be a scientist -- but he's got an active and curious mind. He wants to know everything.]

[irrevenant]

I don't know. They're just like. Normal families or whatever in the wild. But in captivity they get all aggressive and shit. They fight for power and use fear to dominate the others.

[tallasaking]

... That sounds like a lot of wolves I know. [He snorted softly.] Sounds like quite a few lions as well.

[irrevenant]

You know a lot of wolves and lions?

[tallasaking]

Metaphorically speaking. Wolves and lions are symbols of noble houses, where I come from. Yet I find the behavior shockingly similar.

[irrevenant]

Maybe that's why they're called that.

[tallasaking]

I would not be at all surprised ... [He drawls, shaking his head a little.] So, she-wolf. You were a demon hunter, now you will be a liberator. Is there anything, perchance, that you prefer to do that might be considered ... I am not sure, amusing?

[irrevenant]

Have any suggestions? I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue?
