Tenth House of Westeros ♛ Dictated

[Out in the city, Sansa's been both trying to see what jobs are about. As well as houses. It's something she did once before with Robb.]

I'm looking for lodging out in the town. I thought I should try here first. I care not for the castle nor do I trust it. I'd like there to be enough room for a few people. A hearth isn't needed, since I am told your winters here do not last like ours back home.

[Filtered to Arya and Cat]

You're welcome to come if you wish. I just can't stay here any longer.

Fine. Then stay in the castle.

I don't want to.

Well why should I let you stay with me if you're going to be like this? I'm trying to be nice.

Who said I want to stay anywhere with you?

Mother wants to.

Mother misses you.

[There's a long pause.]

I know. It's just-- hard. You know what happened to Robb now... Mother was there. Things are just-- [Another pause.]

Arya, things are so different back home now. We should have never went to King's Landing.

I know that.

[ They shouldn't have done a lot of things and failed to do others they should have. She sighs. ]

But we can still go home. When we get to Winterfell, we'll be safe.

[This is a lot harder to tell her.]

There is no Winterfell to return to, Arya. Why do you think I'm in the Vale?

[ She feels cold. Arya has to swallow before speaking. ]

You changed your name. You were hiding. You can't do that in Winterfell. Everyone there knows you.

I would go home if there was a home to go to. There are no Starks in Winterfell. There is no Winterfell. The Boltons or the Freys would love to get their hands on a Stark, I'm sure.

The Lannisters are already after me for Joffrey's death. Tyrion probably took the fall for it. They say he's missing or dead. Petyr took me to the Vale because where else was I to go?

But–that's wrong! Where are Bran and Rickon? Where's Maester Luwin? What happened to Old Nan and Mikken and everyone?! Where are my brothers?!

Theon sacked the city. [That's not telling her about Bran and Rickon.]

Theon? [ She remembers him. Her father's ward. Always smiling and always with Robb. Robb who was betrayed and killed along with their lady mother. ] Where did he take them?

Theon. Who our father took in and treated him as he did Robb and Jon. [It leaves a nasty taste in her mouth.]

He killed them.

[ She stares at the journal unseeing for a long second. Then she's shouting. ]

They are not dead!

He hung their bodies out.

[ Her brothers. Rickon who was still little and Bran who she never saw awake again. All her trueborn brothers. There's only Jon at the Wall now—and Sansa.

She's silent. No screams, no shouts, no furious throwing of a journal. Just silence. ]
