[Stone. She's being addressed, she realises quickly, and the thought is enough to draw her out of her reverie. Alayne knows that voice - crisp and clear and not unlike the snow around them - and knows who is speaking to her before she sees him.

The curtsey she gives is almost second nature, a habit she can't quite shake, but being in Hogwarts has tempered it so it's now a respectful bob.]

I give you my word that it won't, Professor Malfoy.

[She thinks she can tell easily enough what he's getting at by asking that, and the memory is of her boggart unnerves and shames her. Swallowing, she fights the immediate urge to drop her gaze and flush with guilt - instead, she nods.]

As best as I can, sir.

1/2 stark malfoy party awww yiis

[Sansa manages -

Alayne manages to prevent herself from starting in surprise at the sound of another voice, though her shoulders tense, her eyes widening for a moment. Her reaction is small and tightly controlled, and she hesitates before turning to look at whoever has approached them, looking up at Robb's face with a searching, beseeching gaze.

She hopes that it's clear to him that he has to play the part along with her, now. Even if these people wouldn't condemn Sansa Stark, it would bring too many questions.

She meets his eyes, sucks in a breath, and turns away from him to face the professor, and Sansa is shut and locked away again.]

[And she doubles back almost immediately upon seeing the woman there, because she's seen her before. It takes a moment to remember where she saw her - and then she remembers a flower lying on a stone floor.

She's looking at Lucius Malfoy's boggart, she realises, for there is no mistaking the woman. She was regal and beautiful then and she is now, for all her expression is cold.

(But not as cold as it was when the boggart was turning to face Lucius, perhaps.)

Alayne assumes at first that she is looking at the damned boggart, but that would make little sense - surely it would have changed already?

But she's been spoken to, and she will not be silent.]

Forgive me, Professor - [for she is surely a professor] - I sought fresh air, and Mr Stark was kind enough to check on me.

[She curtsies as she did before Lucius.]

I won't tarry long.
