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. ]

Forgive me but that does not sound fulfilling. Parents should take part in their children's education. They need not teach them all, of course, yet there is much they can learn from each other by simply spending time together.

(He was once as privileged and innocent as her - perhaps worse. As the first-born prince of a fiery, proud father, Nelyafinwë had lived without complications or injury in Aman. His circumstances had changed rapidly in Arda and since then, he has been humbled. Extensively. One cannot sustain prolonged torture and losing a hand without being changed for good.

Or for ill.)

You needn't apologize to me. (The abruptness concerns him and his brow furrows.) I feel I have trespassed; there is much I do not know about mortal families.
