[Bran can only shake his head - he's got a mouth full of painfully cold ice cream bar right now.]

[realhumanbeing]

It's great! It's bread and cheese and sauce! I'll make some for you-- nn, not here, we can't, but I'll buy some next planet we go to! Do you like it? I love the bar part the best--

[summerschild]

[Bran tries to imagine what he's talking about. Bread, cheese, and... sauce? He looks a bit overwhelmed.]

It's very good. Thank you for sharing it with me.

[Despite the cold, he takes another big bite and winds up with a tiny ice cream mustache.]

[realhumanbeing]

Yeah! You can share them anytime you want, if you want.

[A beat-- and then, a little shyly:]

You're the first person my age I've seen here.

[summerschild]

[Bran looks over, his expression soft.]

You're nine as well?

[realhumanbeing]

Uh-- twelve. But that's pretty close!

[summerschild]

You're my sister Sansa's age.

[realhumanbeing]

You have a sister?

[OBVIOUSLY. But Steven, an only child, is fascinated.]

What's she like?

[summerschild]

I have two sisters.

[Or "had". He's not really sure.]

She likes sewing, and and knights, but not in the way that I used to. I haven't seen her in a very long time. She went south, to marry a stupid prince.

[realhumanbeing]

Well . . . maybe she'll be a really good princess! And come visit you!

[summerschild]

They didn't get married. Everything went wrong.

[realhumanbeing]

Do you wanna talk about it?

[summerschild]

... You wouldn't want to hear it. It isn't very nice.

[realhumanbeing]

I don't mind listening.

[summerschild]

[Bran looks at him, considering, and then takes a bite of his ice cream while he thinks. It's a few moments before he speaks.]

My father traveled to King's Landing with my sisters, to advise the king. But he was imprisoned for treason, and then they killed him. I don't know what's happened to my sisters. Robb left me to save them and Mother, but he hasn't come back.

[realhumanbeing]

Wh-- what about you?

[His face has gone pale and his eyes wide, but he still listens.]

What's gonna happen with you?

[summerschild]

[He's surprised by Steven's reaction, and takes a second to answer.]

I don't know.
