Seventeenth House of Westeros ♛ Dictated ♛ Of Losses

[songsandstories]

[She's been quiet for days now, contemplating what she knows and what she's been through here.]

I know what this place has taken from me, but for a short time, it took something else. I am almost envious of those that the castle has taken memories from. To forget, to have never experienced horrors, love, family even.

I know I should not be. I am lucky to have those I have here, but still for those days, it was like a weight was off my shoulders.

What sorts of dresses do you make?

[songsandstories]

Dresses highborns wore back home, mostly with find needle point.

[ino]

I'd like to see them, sometime ... !

In my world, noble people wear silk robes with different patterns painted on them.

[songsandstories]

I bet they are lovely.

[ino]

Yeah, they're really pretty. I got to wear a really nice one on a mission once ... I don't normally go for pink, but it was gorgeous.

[songsandstories]

They sound lovely. [Probably something similar to what they wear in the Free Cities, she imagines.]

[ino]

Is it hard to make them by hand? The dresses, I mean.

[songsandstories]

I have been sewing since I was young. Some of the stitches may be complicated, but if you can handle a needle and can cut the fabric, no, I do not believe so.

[ino]

Hmm ... yeah, I guess most things aren't too hard if you've done them your whole life.

[a pause]

Would you mind teaching me a little bit, then?

[songsandstories]

[She pauses. Most things she does, she does alone. But Ino is actively trying to be a friend.]

I sew most evenings in the lobby, after dinner. You are welcome to join me.

[ino]

[she sounds excited, now -- yay, girl time!]

Really? That'd be awesome. Are you working on a project?

[songsandstories]

A warmer dress for the winter. [She sounds the same, wary but still talking.]

[ino]

Oh, yeah ... it gets pretty cold here! [lmao no it doesn't, especially not compared to where sansa is from, but she's used to a more tropical climate] It'll probably start to snow soon, too.

[songsandstories]

I am told it is nothing like the winters of my home.
