[wolfchild]

[ She stumbles into snow. The cold slices into her. Soaked, filthy, with travel-stained clothes turned almost to rags on her skinny frame and matted, tangled hair only just growing out again, she looks little like a girl, much less like the missing younger Stark daughter.

She sniffles and wipes her nose with the back of her hand. Her face is uncomfortably hot yet she's freezing. Her shivering near knocks her off her feet as she clambers up the steps. ]

My mother…

[ Arya feels her eyes fill with tears. She was going to find her mother and her brother. She was almost home. It wasn't fair. ]

[And she walks into the room, settling down on the sofa.]

[To Zelos:] Please. Sit. [Odd circumstances or no, he's still a guest, so she will still play the role of hostess.]

[wolfchild]

[ Arya hikes her feet up and drops her head in Cat's lap. Nope not letting of mommy any time soon. ]

Is Henry still here?

[wilder]

[Zelos sits on the opposite end of the sofa with a nod, watching what is going on. Since heck, not like he knows how Henry is]

[ladywinter]

[That's just fine, because mommy is busy messing with Arya's hair.]

He is.

[wolfchild]

[ Mommy. Stop. You know that's like. Magic sleeping drug for her. And it works even better when she's already exhausted from fighting the Hound, the rain and a really awesome bout of flu. She even forgets her prayer in favor of curling up as tightly against Cat as possible. She's asleep in no time. ]

[wilder]

[Zelos watches her go to sleep and the moment she's out? His shoulders sag and he gives Cat a look. He has no idea what happened, and what to do now]

[ladywinter]

[Cat looks up at him, her hand still resting on Arya's head. She speaks quietly]

Thank you for bringing her here.
