Who: Jeyne Westerling
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: She can be found on Blue Fish
When: 5/02

[If she had been hysterical before, it doesn't show now. Jeyne seems composed and calm when she switches on the feed, despite what she has to announce to the Fleet. It isn't the first time she's faced this, but it's the first time that she's been here when it happened.]

For those that might need him, Robb will be unable to tend to his duties or visit for awhile. He's currently asleep. [She won't say coma, she won't say stasis or whatever else it was called. He was asleep and he'd wake up again.] Seeker is with me, but he might some exercise. If someone could help me with him? I don't want to leave Robb while he is sleeping.

I will also have to defer my duties for a time to another. I know this is an inconvenience, I am sorry for that.

Thank you.

[She looked up at her good-mother, trying desperately not to cry.]

Sometimes passengers fall into a deep sleep that lasts for an unknown time. Robb was in one when I arrived and didn't wake for several weeks. This morning, I found him asleep again.

All we can do is wait.

[And pray he doesn't disappear.]

[ To say she is upset is something of an understatement. She feels a great many emotions, chiefly frustration at her helplessness. ]

There may be some help for him here. There are healers....

[goodandtrue]

[Gods, she wishes it was that simple.]

Healers, but he isn't ill or injured. This is something happens regularly with the passengers. All we can do is wait.

[onlyvengeance]

[ Not the answer she had hoped for, it must be said.]

I see. Still, even you must rest at times, dear. I will come watch when you sleep. You are not alone.

[goodandtrue]

I don't want to lose him. I don't want him to disappear.

What if it happens when I am asleep? I would never forgive myself for leaving him.

[onlyvengeance]

I understand entirely, child. But it is out of our hands.

[goodandtrue]

I won't let them take him from me. Not again.

The moment they start to pull him from this world, I will fight them with everything I have. I go where he goes.

[She wouldn't be left behind again.]

[onlyvengeance]

The gods do not ask permission before they take those we love. I would go to a thousand deaths, and gladly, to keep him safe. Some enemies cannot be fought directly.

[goodandtrue]

It won't stop me from trying, my lady.

Even if I can do nothing, how can I leave his side when he's like this? I should be here with him. When he wakes, I want him to see me, not on his own.

[onlyvengeance]

As I said I do understand how you feel. When you have children of your own....

[ best to leave that unsaid for now... ]

Nonetheless, no matter how great your love, you cannot stay awake all hours of the clock. Even you must rest at times. He has a mother and a sister who love him dearly as well, and we can keep him safe as well. He needn't be alone. Also there is Seeker.

[goodandtrue]

[That subject brings a measure of pain to her expression. It was not an easy thing to think of. She would never have children.]

If I sleep, I wish to do so here. [But she was right, she and Sansa were his family and worried as much as she did.] I did not mean to minimize your grief, my lady.

I know that you feel as I do, if not more.

[She was the one who witnessed his death.]

I will do as you say.

[onlyvengeance]

[ Cat is not much given to overly affectionate displays, yet if she could have reached Jeyne in that moment, she would have hugged her.]

I only wished to remind you that you are not alone, child. Robb has a very big family and if the gods are good, you may yet meet them all.

[goodandtrue]

Thank you, my lady. Robb is in his rooms, if you would like to come to him? I should be glad for your company.

[onlyvengeance]

I will be there shortly, child. You should take the opportunity for a little rest, if you can.
