(Drawn to the shore again, Sansa is perched on a rock with an open book in her lap - or, rather, an open journal in her lap. She is writing fluidly, recording her experiences and her thoughts. At any point, she could disappear and leave only the journal behind, she knows, thus there isn't anything too damning on the pages.)

I should begin writing songs again. (She pauses and smiles, glancing out over the sea.) There are days that I don't feel much like singing. I can't really explain why I feel that way. My situation here is far better than it ever was on Westeros.

(But...)

I feel as if my life is on hold. (She sets her pen aside and absently examines the ink on her fingers.) What do you value in life? What makes it worthwhile for you?

(Private to Lady Jeyne.)

Would you have dinner with me? I think we have much to discuss. My brother was...is...very dear to me. What happened to him changed my life forever. (Does Jeyne feel the same way? Sansa wants to know.)

It is difficult, but I was leaving Riverrun under Lannister guard. I think this was my only means of escape.

[Which made it infinitely better.]

[stonebird]

So you did not perish with Robb? (Oh she knows how horrible that is for Jeyne.) I was a prisoner of the Lannisters too.

[goodandtrue]

Robb thought it would insult Lord Frey if I were there. He left me at Riverrun with my mother. My brother went instead. He...died trying to free Robb's direwolf, so I heard from others.

[They didn't tell her very much. Everything else came from gossip, what she managed to overhear.]

I remember. Your brother was desperate to save you.

(She closes her eyes, paling. What happened to Grey Wind made her nearly as sick as what had happened to Robb and her mother. Sansa opens her eyes after a moment and pulls the other woman into a tight embrace.)

You were so newly wed. (It breaks her heart. To find love and lose it so soon...) I know he would have come for me. I was depending on it. Poor Robb; how could he have known someone would do something so monstrous?

[goodandtrue]

I had hoped to give him a child.

[She had her suspicions regarding that, but nothing she wished to speak aloud. What her mother had done was heinous, adding this to her list of sins might be minor, but it hurt Jeyne even more.]

You were often in his thoughts. He was careful in how he treated his prisoners, as he worried how the Lannisters would treat you in return. The only reason he would treat with the Freys was to gather more men.

There was no word about your sister. What became of Arya?
