Speaking of beheaded fathers... here he is. Quite headed, in fact. Ned is on his way out to the godswood, predictably, and the moment he spots the familiar silhouette, he freezes.

It takes him a moment to find his voice, in fact. He was told she was alive, somewhere, with a courtier we won't name.

But still. Still.

This is his little girl.

".... Sansa?"

She doesn't dare believe it--this has to be a dream, and soon she'll wake up and have to deal with Joffrey's jeers and threats.

But she replies anyway, because she needs some semblance of hope in her life.

"--Father?"

winter_came August 10 2011, 06:57:24 UTC

"Aye," Ned replies, and he takes just one step, his eyes are so full of tears, we don't even.

"--- oh, girl. Come here."

He opens his arms for her.

Just by seeing the look on her face... he can guess.

ladyless August 10 2011, 13:14:07 UTC

She immediately just sort of--collapses into his arms, trying so hard not to cry.

"You're not--but--" She's so confused, but at the same time, she's not questioning things.

"I'm here," Ned says, and to better impress the reality of his existence on Sansa, he hugs her tight, really tight, and kisses her head effusively.

"Oh, Sansa ---" his tone just says, I'm so glad you're safe.

I'm so good at HTML >.>

She gulps back her tears, and shudders against him, sighing a little.

"--I am--" she manages to say. "I don't know how, though--"

issokay! XDDD

"Some miracles are best left accepted," Ned says hoarsely. He reaches to brush her back, trying to be soothing. "Look at me, girl," he says softly, after a bit.

He wants to make sure she's unhurt.

ladyless August 10 2011, 16:06:47 UTC

She looks up at him, wide-eyed, nodding a little. He might see the cut on her lip, from the slap.

winter_came August 10 2011, 16:08:24 UTC

Ned reaches with a gentle hand to touch her split lip, frowns. "Who did this to you, sweetling?"

ladyless August 10 2011, 16:10:47 UTC

"One of Joffrey's men," she replies, pouting just a little. "Joffrey would not slap me, so he made someone else do it."

She pauses.

"Where am I?"

winter_came August 10 2011, 16:14:35 UTC

Ned's mouth sets into a unhappy, angry thin line - he's feeling guilty, to think she was betrothed to that .... oh dear.

"The Mansion, sweetling. Come, we'll fix up your lip, clean you up. Your mother will be happy to see you."

And your brother, too.

ladyless August 10 2011, 16:16:17 UTC

"Mother's here?" she asks. "She's here too? With you?"

winter_came August 10 2011, 16:17:50 UTC

"Aye," Ned replies. "And Robb as well."

He's waiting to see her reaction - does she know?

ladyless August 10 2011, 16:20:08 UTC

"--Robb?" She smiles, just a little. "So I'll be safe?"

winter_came August 10 2011, 16:26:20 UTC

Ned finds a smile, and nods. "Oh, yes, sweetling, you'll be safe."

Not only Daddy will make sure that you are, but there are others, too. Your family has friends here.

ladyless August 10 2011, 16:28:54 UTC

"Good," she replies. "I want to not worry anymore."
