[Arya | room filter]

[Tonight, when Arya returns from her nightly escapades, Catelyn will be sitting in the common room, waiting for her. As the door opens, she puts down her sewing and looks up.]

Arya, come here. We need to talk.

[While she was waiting, Catelyn took the opportunity to write out a few filters. She doesn’t expect them to be answered until the morning, but she might as well take care of it now.]

[Those who have been in conflict with Arya + those who would be concerned for Arya’s well being (except Arya herself and Sansa)]

You may or may not know me, but I am Lady Catelyn Stark, Arya’s mother.

I wish to address several things. It has come to my attention that Arya has been...less than well behaved. I do not wish you to think I have turned a blind eye to this; she was raised better and it will be addressed. But I would ask your understanding and patience. She has seen much- more than any child should. Her life has not been easy. It has left wounds that have not yet begun to heal.

[Those who know the true identity of “Alayne Stone,” filtered away from Sansa and Arya]

May I have a word?

[Honestly, most of the point of this filter is to see how many replies she gets, if any at all. She might as well check up on both her daughters at once.]

It is almost a year I have been here. [And a year since she lost her Ned. She starts to say something more, maybe a little of her feelings on the matter, but she falls short.] Strange.

[hellshaped]

You mean she's acting out more than usual?

[His tone is dry, but there's some humor in it. He doesn't know what it's like to have children and he probably never will, but he imagines the mother of a juvenile delinquent needs some levity from time to time.]

Yay!

[ladywinter]

[Needs but doesn't often get. So there's a little pause before she responds.]

She has always been willful, but she was not always so... violent.

Catelyn Stark

[heloise]

Wounds take time to heal.

You have my hand should you need it.

Lucrezia Borgia

[ladywinter]

Some more than others. [If they will heal at all.]

Thank you, my lady, but I do not think that will be necessary.

Lady Stark

[songsandstories]

Has it been that long for you?

Sansa

[ladywinter]

It has. [Would she still be alive at home? A part of her wants to ask, but another doesn't.]

[wilder]

...Oh no, is Tsuna in the clinic?

[ladywinter]

[There's a looong pause]

Not to my knowledge.

[LMAO thanks for the shining vote of confidence big bro.]

I'm fine, Zelos.

[Banged up and bruised, but not in the clinic at least. :,|]

[persequor]

[ She assumes the worst. Did Zelos say something? Did Sansa leave? ]

Yes, Mother.

[ladywinter]

You were out late. [It's a statement, but there's an obvious question behind it. Just what were you doing, darling daughter?]

lady stark } { because sam knows the value of a title

[imnot_likeyou]

She's a good kid. I haven't really had any trouble with her.

[then again, Sam has also been out of commission for a month, so there might have been something he missed. He frowns.]

We kind of relate on the whole ... having seen too much thing.

[not that they've talked about it, but he's edged some things out of her]

This man- have they met before? I can't remember

[ladywinter]

She is. I am glad she has allowed others to see it.

[Nothing major- just more fighting. Mommy decided it was time to step in. And may be collecting names for forced apology notes.]

She has spoken to you about it?

Arya Friends filter

[not_mafia]

[Oh... what, her mother was here? Tsuna had no idea. And she was a lady too, of course... Tsuna tries not to let any nervousness show in his voice when he speaks.]

Hello, Mrs. Stark. Um... it's alright, about Arya I mean. [She... had a pretty good reason for being on his case all the time anyway. '^' Also LMAO he feels like he should say more but he's not sure what...!!] A-anyway, I definitely understand! So, um, you don't have to worry, ma'am! About me, at least.

[Well, that was......... elegant.]

forever

[ladywinter]

[Attempt not to let nervousness show= failed. At least Cat will respond in a gentle voice.]

It does not justify her violence. [She was alright with Arya knowing how to defend herself, but getting into random fights? No.] What is your name?

Arya filter forever

[huffythedragon]

I know. And I'm not giving up on her so easy. She needs friends a lot more than she'll admit to.

[ladywinter]

[Spike. ;; It actually makes her happy to hear that.]

She does. [But a little warning-] Be careful how hard you push her/

Arya Filter; written

[savors]

My name is Abby.

Arya and I became friends recently. [A pause. AGH. What to say to mama.] I do not know what she has seen in her life, but I think she is a strong child. You.. raised her well.

filter forever; written back

[ladywinter]

[That's...not exactly what she was expecting to hear, but it makes her proud.]

Thank you. She is strong. I worry only that she tries too hard to protect me. [By not telling her things that might worry her. Like fighting. Or taking care of little vampire friends.]

[Arya filter]

[ino]

"Less than well-behaved", huh ...

[ ... hmmm. she's not sure what to say to the rest of that]

She's lucky to have her mother here.

forever

[ladywinter]

Unfortunately.

[That's alright. Part of this is just an attempt to get names for forced apology letters. :')]

I am lucky to have her.

[True identity filter]

[staggeringego]

I can't see why not.

[ladywinter]

My name is Catelyn Stark. I trust that means something to you?

Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

[...She knew this woman. She knew the tone, and had heard her voice. In pain and in suffering.]

I know you.

[ladywinter]

[She suspects she knows from where. The nightmares. But that wasn't something she exactly likes to talk about. And it couldn't hurt to be certain. Hesitantly:]

Do you?
