Who: Sansa Stark + YOU
Broadcast: Text, fleetwide.
Action: Blue Fish
When: This morning.

Jon Snow and Bran Stark have left the Fleet. Condolences to those who may have befriended them while they were here; Gods-willing, we shall see them again.

[ sansa's message is short -- abrupt, and almost stripped of its emotion. she avoids broadcasting anything but simple text because she does not trust herself to maintain her mask, so to speak. as it is, she's cried too much. losing bran and jon feels like opening old wounds packed with grief. it makes her feel like a little girl again: weak, and mewling.

but she does add: ]
I dread leaving, as they have left. Do others in the Fleet want to stay?

[ later, she can be found sitting on the floor of her personnel office. she has taken the furs from her bunk and has spread them across the ground, and she's allowed jon's direwolf pups free rein of the cozy and comfortable area. sansa's eyes are red-rimmed, and they betray every lie she tells when she insists she's as well as can be expected. but at least her spirits lift, a little, when she's playing tug-of-war with the pups.

they bring her a bittersweet joy. ]

[ He's been trying to make up for what he's done for nearly a year now. He's made promises that he can't keep, and he's even gone so far as to offer Robb the opportunity to kill him.

It's never enough. He knows he can't make up for what he's done, but he's grateful for Sansa. Though she doesn't forgive him, and he doesn't expect her to, she seems to understand better than her brothers.

Have you been blaming yourself for that for this long?

[ Sansa is young. She was even younger still when Lord Stark was killed. He finds it difficult to believe that she could be even slightly at fault for her father's death. ]

What does Robb have to say?
