Well met, allies. I require a service. Infiltration of the palace was a success; however, during part of my daily tasks, I'd stumbled upon a number of burned letters in the hearth. There appears to be four participants, one of which we cannot identify.

We do not hail from these lands, but to my understanding, some of you may recognize details that would otherwise be mistaken for little to no significance.

[ There will be images of the scavenged scraps of paper, clearly charred. To those familiar with Earth writing from this period, the handwriting will look strangely modern. The writer may seem to even be attempting unsuccessfully to ape an earlier style, but he(?) can't quite manage it. ]


[ ooc: this is for the Royal Pain mission! Help a sister and her boys out? :> Also, Jon might be threadjacking, so if you want to speak to Dany specifically, make it a private message. ]

Is this a mission?

You can count me in, if it means I get to fight.

Anything else, I won't be able to help you. What are you trying to glean from these letters?

lmao she was going to be so frosty before. now he gets lukewarm.

[dorzalta]

So I speak with a sell-sword? Lest your skills skew toward identifying individuals through handwriting, or if you've a firm grasp of this land's history, I've no use for one currently. We're to assimilate with the palace folk. For now.

[ That's not to say she wouldn't scoop up a sell-sword at a later point, though... ]

I had to reread...

[chariotry]

Sell-sword? Don't mock me. I'm a hero.

But you have me curious. What lands do you hail from, exactly?

[dorzalta]

I've no intention of mocking you; I'd allied with many sell-swords over the years. A hero can be many things, both good and bad. I wonder which side of the spectrum your feats fall within.

No lands you've heard of, I'm sure. I was born in Westeros, and grew up in the lands of Essos. And you?

[chariotry]

A hero seeks glory rather than profit. I don't expect to be paid for my efforts in this battle, so don't go thinking of me as a mercenary.

As for whether I'm good or bad, by your standards, it doesn't matter. All you need to know is that we're on the same side and I don't intend on betraying my comrades.

That's a foreign name to me. I come from the world known as Earth.
