yeah. it's good to call people what they are and make evil people into jokes. there's nothing quite like finding a way to laugh at someone who hurt you. it makes them seem so small.
[ How do you explain to someone that it isn't even one specific thing that frightens you anymore? Arya's lived with fear for such a long time now that she can't feel it's source, not exactly. And even here, where there's very little to be afraid of, she's still scared, like fear is a habit she can't break. ]
[ The things Cisco are afraid of... well, only really one thing, only really one person, is here. He can't tell Arya that, though, or warn her about the danger. Warning her would only put her in more danger - and not in a nebulous way, but in an immediate, he-will-try-to-contain-the-information-by-any-means-necessary way. So he falls back on the now familiar topic of differences between worlds. ]
have they got guitars in westeros? musical instruments that look a bit like this? 🎸
not gonna lie, not super familiar with what lutes actually look like, but if there's strings and a neck and a hollow body then yeah, kind of like that.
it's called a guitar. i found one the other day. i can play, a little bit.
[ Music can sometimes be a complicated thing for Cisco, because of his brother. But thinking about introducing Arya to music from his world? There's nothing complicated about that. Just sheer, unadulterated, 100-proof fun ]
every kind. more kinds than you can imagine. just as many kinds as there are types of movies and tv shows. more, probably. there are thousands of instruments, hundreds of years worth of songs.
i can play you some if you'd like. on the guitar, but also some albums. which are like... photographs, but for music.

Before everything, I had a teacher who told me that fear cuts deeper than swords. So I try to find ways to not be afraid, and sometimes they work.

if you do find a way that works all the time, make sure you teach it to me.

You will be the first person I tell.

in the meantime, if something scares you, you can always come find me. for what it's worth.
