❅ Four (Text)

I thought about making this private, but I have nothing to hide. My words are typed in the hope that they will do someone good.

I come from a world that is harsh and unforgiving. Decent people die everyday and, more often than not, there is no one to mourn them. Life isn't endless for most, though it can be exceedingly long, and I think, when it's all said and done, the thing that matters the most is how we spent our days.

Personally, I do not wish to be remembered as a victim. Whatever is in store for us (according to the Null) is outside of our control. Do what you think is right today.

Do not live in fear. Otherwise they win.

You're damn right. If nothing else, stay alive out of spite. They don't deserve our fear, our lives or anything else.

Our own world will soon be less harsh and unforgiving, with any luck. [ And with some major victories in battle. ]

You are very brave, Lady Stark. I hope that you are safe through all this.

[so_dark_a_road]

Well spoken, Sansa!

Your words of inspiration should be heard by all. And I think that whoever hears will be heartened.

We must fight on.

[am_i_a_monster]

My world was harsh too. Or at least it was harsh to me.

Living in fear is better than dying.

[stonebird]

Living spitefully can give you time to find another reason to carry on. There is nothing wrong with it, truly, as long as it isn't a lasting state.

I should like to see that. There must have been a reason my forefathers were loyal to a King or a Queen.

(She hasn't seen why yet, but with Daenerys, maybe she will.)

I have been lucky. I have learned, too slowly, and I see who I need to be.

[stonebird]

I hope so. What we tell ourselves in the dark can be...wrong. I think being kinder to ourselves and others will help us be stronger in the end.

[stonebird]

I am sorry for that. If you need to tell another of it - privately or otherwise - I will listen.

[paragonbrosca]

I did it for eighteen years. Sometimes you just gotta find a way to carry on, however you can for as long as you can. Let the future take care of itself.

[utulien_aure]

A truth not spoken enough, Sansa.

Well done.

[stonebird]

Eighteen years? Is that not your age? I can understand how you feel - how you felt - but there is so much more to love.

[stonebird]

I have decided I want to be a protector too; a guardian like your family. This shall be good practice for when I am a mother.

[bythewaves]

I will never think of you as a victim, Sansa.

[stonebird]

I have been used, I have been weak, I was a victim once.

I'm not anymore.

[so_dark_a_road]

I agree with you 100%.

[ With the exception of the Null. They can kiss his ass. ]

[stonebird]

I trust you will help everyone see the end of them. I will be there to patch you up along the way.

[bythewaves]

Never.

[ He agrees ]

You are too strong for that, little firebird.

[stonebird]

I didn't always know that.

But if there are others who were like me then I want to help them. When you are afraid of everything, there doesn't seem to be much point in living.

[so_dark_a_road]

I will, dear Sansa. I shall not fail you.

And we will all be grateful for your healing skills. [ Small laugh. ] I'm sure we will need you!

[utulien_aure]

You are fierce enough to be a guardian to anything you like, Sansa Stark.

Hmm. Planning for marriage already? Is there someone we should know about?

[am_i_a_monster]

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

[bythewaves]

Perhaps not - but I see a fire to match ours, little firebird. I am glad you found your hope.

[stonebird]

You could never fail me. (Unless he purposefully injures himself.) Mine are nothing compared to Lord Elrond's, but I do need the practice.

[stonebird]

You are strong for having made it this far.

[stonebird]

No! I have not had the best luck in -

I will not marry until I find someone worthy of it.
