[For Susan]
As much as Sansa had appreciated the island gifts in past years, she found this years the most practical and useful. After all - she could make clothes. She could not make it cooler. But the fans that the island had provided could and they were a great relief as she could barely tolerate the heat.
And though she had fully recovered from the latest bout of heat stroke, Caspian had not recovered from his insistence that he must do more for her. So today unable to persuade him otherwise she had asked him to take Eddara and Rickon so that she might do some sewing with Susan.
She had even given Eddara lemoncakes for breakfast in exchange for the reluctant agreement that she would say Rickon properly. That might make Caspian's day go a little easier.
Though she was more interested in having time with her goodsister than any sewing. She had more than enough baby clothing made and gathered from the compound. But still she could always be more prepared and she was certain Susan had not had as much time to prepare as she had.
It was only after Caspian, Eddara and Rickon had left that Sansa turned to Susan. "Tea?" she asked. "I'm going to have some juice - I can't even face hot drinks at the moment."
