Closed RP: UnCat, Reilly, and Nightmares on the Roof

Jun 08, 2007 20:58



It was not nearly so cold at night, now, but Catelyn didn't notice the difference--she did not feel cold as others did. All it really meant was that now the grounds stretched out leafy green and dotted with flowers, all rendered silver-bright by the moon.

She liked to wander on the roof, until she found a spot whose view she preferred, where she would sit and think or sometimes just stare, watching a world whose peace still seemed to her something like a gift. She did not miss sleep so much, not anymore--as she was, she got to see a side of the world most of the living could not regularly inhabit. She'd learned to tell the hours by the position of the moon, and the stars if there was no moon, but more than that she knew what each hour felt like; the subtle ebb and flow of nighttime, so different from that of day.

She'd found a likely spot near the Astronomy Tower--it was the highest point of the school, and offered an unsurpassed view--and currently she was sitting on the edge of a parapet, her feet dangling off it rather like a child, humming an old lullaby she'd sung to Rickon not so long ago. Well, she was trying to hum; with her half-ruined voice, the result was not wholly successful, but it was an oddly peaceful sound for all that.
