I thought I was still in Westeros. It doesn't matter now.
Arya, no. [Bunny!Arya is chewing at the hem of her sleeve. STOP IT THAT IS THE ONLY DRESS SHE HAS RIGHT NOW.]
[ that makes robb laugh. if arya ever arrived, her reaction would probably be fearsome to behold. ]
Were you attempting to hide?
[ because it made sense, at least, the idea of sansa trying to hide herself as best she could. if she'd arrived alone, with no protectors...well, who knew what dangers lay in wait for a lone daughter of eddard stark. ]
