ARYA

So! You, me, and some waffles. Let's do this.

LUCREZIA

I need your help with something. You're the only person I trust enough to help me with this very special, maybe once in a lifetime thing.

Do you accept?

It's weird.

Yeah. I went home, once. Not too long, but long enough. Coming back and everyone still being exactly where I left them was weird.

How long did you return for?

Months. But a lot changed in that time. [Nothing terrible, really. Bruce coming back and not ripping the symbol off her chest was the biggest development. She came back with confidence.]

I've known others who have gone home for years. I've seen how difficult it can be. [Lucrezia went from sweet innocence to... not that.]

[ The first month was bad. The following almost two years were worse. ]

It is.

I think it gets easier over time. Just like when you first got here, it'll take some time, but you'll adjust.

I had most of my family then.

What do you mean?

My family was here. Except my little brothers and my lord father.

Do you have a big family? How many were here?

I've three trueborn brothers, a sister and a half-brother. My lady mother and my sister and Jon and Robb were all here. Now it's my mother and me.

[ And Sansa but shhh we don't talk about the sister ]

[It's relieving to know her mother is around, at least.]

I'm sorry to hear that. But hey, at least your mom is here, right? You must have been happy to see her.

She's my mother. [ Who wouldn't be happy to see their mother.

Wait. Don't answer that. ]

Right? You're lucky to have her here.

Hopefully she doesn't get upset at me for giving you so much chocolate.

Rabbit gives me more chocolate than this. All the eggs I could want.

That sounds awfully like the Easter bunny.

He is.

[She blinks, swallowing this information.]

You know, at this point, I'm not really surprised.

[ She feels you, Steph. Even not knowing about him, the idea of a six foot tall rabbit is a hard one to believe. ]

You can only see him if you believe in him, though. Else you can only talk to him through the journal.

If you believe in him and have seen him, guess there's no reason for me to not...

[That's so creepy.]

He's not bad. He's funny really.

It'd be weird if a talking rabbit was serious.

He can be serious. Scary too.

What did you do to see the scary side of the Easter bunny?

I didn't do anything! Something tried to eat me!
