[she nods in understanding at his words] It can be terribly hard to keep track of time here. I try to measure it by when the new arrivals come, but even then I'm sure I've missed a month or two. I believe I've been here a year and a half. A respectable length of time.
A year and a half. Damn, every time I hear about someone being here for more than a year it's crazy.
[It often makes him think about his own time here. Will he be one of those people? Or will he be gone tomorrow? Slipping out as suddenly as he slipped in, without a word to the friends he's made here. As much as he misses home the longer he stays her the more frightening a thought that is.]
That's a good point about the arrivals, though. I think I'll try and track time like that too.
[a friendly laugh] It's far better than the alternative which awaited me back home.
[which was death. and nothingness. she'd take anything over that, even taking into account how much she hates the so-called gods for manipulating her emotions]
Thank you. I've found it easiest to mark time by.
So, what sort of world do you come from, Sal? I may call you Sal?
[Hm, yeah, that doesn't surprise him. He's seen some people who would prefer to be here rather than home. And it's not a terrible place, he thinks, despite all the terrible things that happen. That's life, right?]
Yeah, sure. Sal or Sally is cool. Uh, it's kind of hard to explain a whole world. I don't know what years are like for you but I'm from 1990. I live in this apartment building in this place called Nockfell. Lot's of cool people in there. We have a totally huge ghost problem though, but most of them seem harmless enough. I'm friends with some.
[she wouldn't necessarily be here, she would be in the 2017 of Matt Murdock, the man she loves. but while she's here, she will endure]
Then I'll call you Sal! And that's nothing like my world. Where I'm from, ghosts are considered a myth. [she thinks a moment] But apparently, a great many myths of my youth have been proven true. So why not ghosts? I can imagine that it would be lonely as a ghost. It's good that you can provide them with friendship.
[she thinks for a moment] If I were a ghost, I'm not sure I'd be willing to parade for the circus of noteriety, either.
[her expression sobers] The White Walkers. The dead who can rise again, intent on one thing: killing every living being they encounter. Were I still queen, I could--I could do something about that threat, but I'm dead and gone and beyond all influence.
It's--well, it it is what it is. I have given Jon and Daenerys my best advnce as it will be them who face the onslaught of the White Walker horde, but there is only so much a person can do from afar.
Yes. Yes, it is. Highgarden is the most beautiful keep in all of Westeros and it makes me sick to think of it falling into the hands of someone other than a Tyrell. Though, all of us but grandmother are dead.

Re: video
I'm sure having that kind of advantage will help them a lot. I bet they'll be fine with your advice.
Re: video
I do hope so. I may never be able to return, but Westeros was home. I'd not see it destroyed if I can help it.
