I feel like I'm going mad. I keep forgetting things. This morning I woke up and I couldn't remember your voice. [ her voice breaks. ] I kept trying, but it was gone. I couldn't remember it at all. I was really scared. I thought I was going to forget you completely. I don't want to forget. If I forget… [ she trails off. quieter, she continues. ] When will you come, Father? We need you here.

[ A pause as she tries to add some semblance of happiness to her voice. ] I'm doing my prayers every night, Father. I'm working. I earn mine own coin now. And I've got really good with Needle. When you get here, I'll show you. I'll make you proud, I promise.

I wish you were here.

How normal is forgetting?

[ considering how curt and frantic she had been, she figures she owes him an apology. ]

Um, I'm sorry. For my behavior that night. And...thank you.

[Guess who is back to normal.]

Here? I would say it is commonplace.

It's fine....is everything all right, now?

[huffythedragon]

...Forgetting what?

[secondchances]

Forgetting is about as normal as everything else, here. It's almost expected, I guess.

arya stark

[draca]

What are you forgetting, Ivezh?

[persequor]

Nothing.

Forever

[persequor]

Yes.

Sansa

[persequor]

You remember.

[persequor]

[ That's not what she meant. But she won't clarify either. ]

I guess.

danyyyy forever

[persequor]

Nothing.

and eveeer

[draca]

[ A soft sigh, Arya don't you lie to her. ]

You would not ask such a question without reason.

[persequor]

[ Shrug. Then she remembers Dany cannot see it. ]

I just wanted to know.

[draca]

Arya. [ Her voice softens with obvious concern. ] If something troubles you, you can speak to me of it. We are friends are we not?

[persequor]

Yes. [ if you could see her slumping off the bed. ]

[huffythedragon]

I doesn't sound like nothing.

[persequor]

I didn't ask your opinion.

Arya

[songsandstories]

I remember. [It's hard to say anything else.]

Sansa

[persequor]

Did you leave?

Arya

[songsandstories]

No. I just-- forgot everything. The castle must have taken it from me. [It was nice, comforting. Now it just feels like she can't breathe, everything just coming back. She has to swallow it back.]

dictated;

[hedonic]

I suppose that depends on if it's something one wants to forget.

[willalwaysfindyou]

[Charming pauses at this entry. It hits home a little.]

If it was sudden, not normal. If it gradually slipped away from you, very normal. I've seen magic snatch memories away at home and here. Forgetting can be as painful as remembering.

dictated

[selfless]

[hm, such a short question. There's a soft 'hm' before she replies]

I don't think anyone has a perfect memory... Everyone forgets things sometimes.

[secondchances]

Did you forget something?

[persequor]

No.

[persequor]

Is there a way to get either back?
