Twenty-Second House of Westeros ♛ Action ♛ War of the Five Kings

[songsandstories]

I've thought oft on it, being here in this castle-- [And how much she misliked being a captive.]

But how many people come from places where they've just outlived a war? I mean not a rebellion or an uprising, but something that's truly torn the land and the people.

[She pauses, her voice low.] Even for the right reasons.

I doubt not the effectiveness of it, but I am neither a soldier nor a knight. I know little of weaponry save the armor of a lady, what's been taught to me.

[It's been the hardest thing about picking up a bow. Weapons were something her brothers had, Arya can have her sword. But even here, what use are words when the Castle can so easily corrupt all you have? Family still means something to her, even if she doesn't publicly bare the name Stark.]

How do you recover what you can never have again? What is home when all that's left are ghosts?
