—— and bring him home. You have my word, Lyra. Just have a little faith in me?”

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

Val has never been good with dealing with emotions, especially emotions of others, but she reaches a hand out to squeeze Lyra’s arm in what she hoped was a reassuring manner.

“I know you’re scared. Trust me… I’ve been there before. But I will not give up until I find him ——

-- her voice is quiet when she replies at last, having waited for Val to finish. “sure..”

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

/ exactly what I was going for lol

// "wonder boy of the Night’s Watch" DEAD 😂😂😂
now I'm picturing him as Hercules

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

Is this the second or the third time now? She needs to start keeping track.

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

Time to head back to the lands beyond the Wall and save Benjen’s life.

Again.

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

—— piece.” She sighed, raising her arms in some kind of resigned shrug. “Good luck with the search parties. I will check in with you personally when I can.”

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

And Val is equally frustrated that Lyra isn’t really listening to her. It’s not that she underestimates her abilities. It’s the fact that stories and actually being north of the Wall are two very different things. It would be a lot easier for Val to only have to look after ——

[𝙻𝚈𝚁𝙰 @CANDIDLYSPEAKNG]

-- myself if I don’t try.” and honestly, what else is she going to do? sit around with a cup of tea? accept that she might lose him forever without her even trying to get him back? – she knows Ben would do anything to get her back if the roles were reversed.

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

—— you out there?” She shook her head. “Hate me if you want, I’m just doing what Benjen would want. I know I can handle myself where I’m going because that is my home. Again, hate me if you need to, but I’m doing what I need to do to ensure you and Benjen come home in one ——

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

/ if this isn’t young val idk what is

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

I am not. I’m implying that it’s incredibly dangerous, even for me. I just want to find Ben and bring him home. I can’t lose you on the way or he’ll never come back.

[𝙻𝚈𝚁𝙰 @CANDIDLYSPEAKNG]

you're implying that I'm naive!

fine.

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

when I find Benjen, I’m gonna kill him for making me argue with Lyra.

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

—— happen to you too. I’m not trying to be a hero or anything here. I just cannot let Ben lose you, too. Please, Lyra. I will bring him back to you. I swear it on all the gods, but I can only do this on my own.”

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

“You don’t know what’s north of the Wall until you lived there. Stories and myths and legends… they all pale in comparison to the real thing.” Val exhales a sigh, slowly loosening her clenched fists. Her eyes remained closed for a moment as she tried to keep calm. ——

[𝙻𝚈𝚁𝙰 @CANDIDLYSPEAKNG]

-- boyfriend is first ranger and knows that place like the back of his hand and right now he's missing."

"I don't care that it's dangerous. I just want Ben back. whatever it takes."

[VAL. @AWILDLINGHEART]

—— to tell Ben and he would never forgive me. Please.” She met the others gaze, pleading. “I am your best chance at finding him, but that chance diminishes with anyone I bring alone with me. Where I am going isn’t safe, for anyone. Wildling or not. I can’t let something bad ——
