Dream II ❄ unintentional video

[branstark]

[Bran is navigating his new wheelchair outside to put out a dish of water for Summer. He's set the device aside to keep his hands free, so it picks up recording from a distance.

When Bran leans forward to set the dish down, he freezes very suddenly, every muscle in his body going rigid. His lips begin to mouth a word, but then his eyes go wide, he shouts, and lurches backwards. The dish falls to the ground with a loud clatter, splattering water over Bran's shoes and the legs of his trousers.

Summer comes running then, posture fierce and alert. When the wolf reaches Bran, he sniffs him curiously and plants large paws on Bran's knees, going up on his hind legs to lick Bran's face. Bran takes a deep, shuddering breath, and hugs the wolf hard around the neck. Summer's eyes squint shut for a moment, and when they open again, their eerie yellow tint seeps back in. To the careful observer, there may be something different about Summer's fur, too-- his coat is silver-grey, but the variance of colour in it may have deepened just a little.]

I'm sorry. I'll get you more water.

[When he wheels back towards the device, he notices it recording, and his brow furrows. When he reaches in to turn it off again, his hand is shaking.]

Nor me, either. Bad men came and took my home away.

Was it bad in your world?

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Not all. Not all of it. But this world-- I feel safer here. I shouldn't think that I am, anyone could come here and then it would not make a difference, but for now.. for now I feel safer here.

[branstark.livejournal.com]

I suppose... it's the same for me.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

That is nothing to be ashamed of, I should think.

You are very kind, truly. [He's already said so, but it bears repeating. She is pretty and nice and he likes the way she talks-- it isn't as confusing as the way other people here do-- and Bran is smiling and doesn't know what else to say.]

Thank you. [ She rather likes him as well. ]
