His Grace, King Robb Stark and I are feeling ourselves once more, we are in Liminal Space. May we perchance receive assistance on joining the rest of you? I do not have control over portals. This place may be of interest as well, Liminal Space normally holds some clue as to what is happening. Should anyone wish, I can share what I see inside your minds.

The Grasper... I do not know if it can be defeated. It would have their entire race enslaved as monsters.

[Well when you put it like that-- WAIT NO IT'S STILL CRAZY.]

I...I see... [Her mental voice is so weak.] I... I hope we don't have to though...even so.

So do I.

Where are you, right now?

I'm...on land. Ukyo-san helped me get off the ship.

[thanks, psycho murderer stalker.]

Do you think we'll have to go back out there? [She really, really sounds reluctant about that.]

One way or another, yes. The Jaunt's not over. Probably not until we reach our destination - or sink while making the attempt.

[Give her a moment to absorb that. They have to go back out there. On the ocean. Where they have all almost died multiple times.

... ... ...]

I... I see...

[...]

Then... I'll do my best as well! We've made it this far, so...we have to make it to the end. Right...?

I think so. Hopefully the worst is past.

[She's quiet for a moment, and then a bit more tentatively--]

Are most jaunts like this?

I don't think I realized...just how dangerous this was...

Most Jaunts are nothing like each other. But if you mean, 'are they this dangerous?'

Yes. Last time was... practically a vacation.

...That was my first jaunt, so I...

[she didn't really realize just how dangerous they get.]

... I'm sorry. I wasn't prepared at all.

Not your fault.

[Still, she has been useless, and she knows it.]

...Right...

[it's not his problem regardless.]

But Tim-san, how...are you so prepared?

This is my fifth Jaunt. And... before I was dragged into this, I had... another strange experience involving alternate worlds.

[Let's not even bother getting into the vigilante training yet.]

[Fifth...okay maybe she'll be more prepared by her fifth jaunt. It's a nice dream!!]

I understand, I think... [sort of.] Then...thank you for all of the help you've given me.

Least I could do for my boss, right?

[That's... actually that's really cute. She's giggling to herself for sure, and her mental response is a great deal cheerier.]

That's right... You've always been so dependable. [this entire conversation has made her feel better, somehow.]

I really do feel better. Thank you, Tim-san.

The least I can do.

You know, you ran a good shop. I really did used to be a barista, so I've got some experience.

Ah, really...? I worked in a cafe back home, so I suppose I was used to it.

[a maid cafe even...had that just been a coincidence, that it had ended up that way here too?]

Waka-san was a good manager, so we should be thanking him. [except he's not here and all.]

Then I need to thank Ianto Jones and Alfred Pennyworth, too.

[...??]

Are those people you know from home, Tim-san?

Yeah. Mentors, I guess you'd say. Or... examples of character.

[...what does that mean...]

Examples of character... do you mean they worked in a coffee shop as well?

Ianto did. Alfred was... family.

[It's...hard to miss that "was". She's quiet for a moment in response to that, and then--]

I see. [...] Thank you for telling me...um, I'd like to learn more about them sometime, if you don't mind.

[Sansa can't help but cut in here.]

Terribly so. But we take care of one another, so there is no reason to fear.

[Admittedly, it is relieving to hear. There's no reason to fear, because they work together...that's nice to hear.]

Oh... I understand. I'll try not to be scared, then. [Though it's hard, with everything that just happened.]

Um...thank you for looking out for me, then.
