I don't think there are any of those left. I'll start your new things tonight, though. In the meantime I can take in some of my old gowns from the Eyrie...
[alayne's old gowns. they're not so different from the ones she wears most days. black is comforting, somehow, and it wears well given their shortage of proper laundry maids.]
We repaired a lot of the damage, but it's not like it was. The Godswood is the same, though. And some of the people...we found in the Dreadfort...
[her grip tightens momentarily on arya's hand. it had been terrible, worse than anything sansa saw or suffered at the hands of the lannisters. she tries a lighter note.]
Jon will be so glad to see you. He went off with Stannis to treat with the dragon queen, but he came back, too. He got here first, actually.
no subject
[But well, a lot happened. The Hound had to change plans and then Arya ended up leaving. Going across the sea. But it isn't like Arya has ever really been picky regarding clothing, so long as it fit and was warm. She didn't care for how fancy or plain something might be.]
The Godswood. And what about....what about the crypt?
[That hadn't been damaged, had it? She wasn't even sure who yet of their family that had more recently passed, who might be down there or not. Considering events it wouldn't be surprising to find that not all of them were. But then Sansa mentions Jon. Instantly, Arya can't help but to smile, feeling lighter and impatient already.]
I've missed him too. But -- he went to the wall, didn't he?
[There's still so much to catch up on, even as she walks with her sister, letting Sansa lead her to the kitchen.]
no subject
He came down here looking for you. It was Jeyne Poole, by the way, in case you were wondering who the Lannisters married off to Ramsay Bolton. He meant to go back, but--
[she stops, and sighs. she needs to look arya in the face for this.]
The Greatjon turned up with some of the hostages and swore he'd heard Robb name him his heir. Then Lord Manderly said he'd heard Rickon was still alive on Skagos and they sent a man to go get him. Then Jon said he saw Summer when he was out with the Wildlings and if Rickon was alive, maybe Bran was too. And Jeyne said Theon had killed the miller's boys and passed them off as Bran and Rickon. Stannis said whoever the lord of Winterfell was would have to bend the knee to him, but then we got word Daenerys Targaryen had taken Dragonstone from him, so Jon offered to go with him to talk to her.
[she squeezes arya's hand and gives her a sheepish half-smile because, well, it's all so stupidly complicated.]
All that matters is Bran and Rickon might be alive. And they didn't touch the crypts. We found Father's bones down there and interred them...we're getting a statue made for him. [a breath.] And for Robb.
no subject
[It seems she had missed a lot. Being away training and traveling for so long as she was. She'd heard about Robb, of course. Been right there with that wedding. But she hadn't heard on this -- Theon being unable to kill their brothers so using others in making it seem like Bran and Rickon were dead.
Her eyes widen, even as she seems hesitant, unsure if she should hope, as she holds to Sansa's arm.]
Bran and Rickon are...! [Of course she would see the crypt. It's just the possibility of her other brothers being alive, even the chance of it is something she hadn't expected.]
no subject
Don't--!
[that came out harsher than she meant it to. she stops herself and tries again, keeping her tone even like she'd done in the red keep.]
Don't get your hopes up. You'll only hurt worse if it isn't true. It was worse than anything when we saw it wasn't you at Winterfell.
[although, knowing what she knows now, she's glad it wasn't arya. actually, arya herself would probably rather be dead. she tries a small smile again.]
It was stupid of us. You were safer...wherever you were.
[she casts a sidelong glance at arya, hoping she'll offer up some information in that regard.]
no subject
[Just because Theon hadn't killed the boys, that still didn't mean they were any closer at this point to finding them. If they were still out there somewhere. Sansa was right. Arya lowers her gaze, still following. Of course she expects the other to question her. The same way Arya wants to ask what happened on her end. If she expects anything, she should offer something in return, right?]
I uh. I was heading to see Jon. The Wall. I traveled around Westeros for a little. Then headed for Braavos, actually. Where Syrio was from. Stayed there a while.
[Of course that's the very bare basics, a lot happened in between all that and she isn't saying what she was doing over there.]
