@vedyminknight โ Of course, the stalwart protection of her white wolf plays its part in that - she offers him an upwards flicker of her tightly pressed lips.
โMy mind was far north,โ she murmurs quietly, as though admitting a grave weakness, โI canโt shake off this heavy feeling.โ
@vedyminknight In the midst of the silence, fear would not be a misplaced emotion. Others, she knows, have trembled โneath the hallowed halls of Winterfell; high, towering ceilings atop bleak walls which seem to whisper secrets in the darkness . . .
Sansa has never felt more at home. โ
@targaryreign The gates are manned, her fortress impenetrable on foot, the walls of Winterfell closed, locked. As always, her chin is tilted upwards, all the better to see the skies.
Come back to her. Come home.
@targaryreign Should Daenerys pause to listen, perhaps in the still of night, she might just hear the mournful sound of her wolf, baying at the moon.
Longing for her return.
Winter is coming.
Winterfellโs daughter welcomes the frightful weather, but a part of her ( unbidden and unsolicited ) longs for the heat. The burn.
She aches for @targaryreign.
@OFLIONlSMS โ accompanied by a patented eye roll.
โDonโt flatter yourself, Lannister.โ
Blink and youโll miss it, but a smile flashes across her features as she speaks.
@OFLIONlSMS โ return by that wicked woman with whom he shared a womb.
She was reminded that the only way to keep their memories alive is by allowing herself to remember. It hurts, burns like frostbite, but itโs worthwhile.
His words cause a brief scoff to slip from her parted lips, โ
@OFLIONlSMS โ learn she can, in fact, talk of him without immediately bursting into tears.
The wound has not healed, but the scar doesnโt prickle quite so harshly anymore.
โYes, yes, whatever you want to believe.
. . .
Itโs not terrible, having you around.โ
@OFLIONlSMS That sounds like his own problem. Nothing to do with her.
Ha! His heart? By the Gods, he truly does think a lot of himself, doesnโt he?
Well, at least he regrets mentioning the Stark patriarch. Sure enough, regret and remorse wonโt return her father to her, but it helps to โ
@OFLIONlSMS โ throat at the thought of his gruff voice, his warm embrace, those eyes. Northern eyes.
โI take that as the highest of compliments,โ she insists, chin raised as though heโs just honoured her beyond imagination.
โRun along and find your hand, youโre no good to me without it.โ
@OFLIONlSMS Does he not remember that a threat towards the Queen is considered treason?
Might she have his head, as well as his hand? Keep going, and heโs certain to find out.
The mention of her father does, however, give her pause. It always will; her breath will always catch in her โ
@OFLIONlSMS That can be arranged. With the click of her fingers, a dagger can be placed into her hand. Where would he like the wound?
โLion got your tongue?โ
Oh, this is fun. She could happily spend her day winding him up.
