❅ Ten (Video)

(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.)

[ Curufin is taking a break from his latest project, drinking a cup of coffee and checking his phone. ]

I really hope you do start writing songs again! We've spoken of this, I think. I am sure they would be beautiful songs.

Hadriel does tend to have that effect on people -- we're not in our own worlds and can't continue our lives there while we're here. [ Pause. ] Those of us who are not dead in our own worlds, that is. But Sansa, you can be thinking and planning what you will do when you return.

As for what I value? Love, friendship, community, and oh yes, WORK!

They would be happier thanks to your kin, but I do not think they could ever be beautiful. (Beautiful is for...someone like Maglor, perhaps. Sansa doesn't feel worthy of it - or learned enough for it.)

What good will it do, my lord? I will not recall what I decide. Truly, it would be a waste of effort. (So maybe...) I want to build my own house, somehow.

(Not literally. She means in the sense of workers/servants/family/friends.)

I will feel established, that way, and not just as some strange guest. I am a Stark and I can do more.

You...believe me, my lady? On who I am?

{Maedhros isn't far, but he'll let her have her privacy outside of this form of communication.}

My life here is better as well. I have family, both by blood and by heart. Only darkness awaits once I leave here.

I hope, once you leave - may that be quite some time from now! Your situation improves and life treats you the way you should be. With love and respect, and protected from the horrors I have learned of your world.

[ She has a furrow to her brow and she watches a moment before she speaks up. ] Sansa?

Your life on hold... Does it feel like dread? Like you're afraid to start something because you may not be able to finish it? That those who you care for will disappear.. or you might leave again to return to those other worlds you've been?

I see no reason why you would lie. You have nothing to gain that I can see and if you truly love Robb, I need to know you.

Maedhros... (She immediately brightens, her affection shining through.) I do not believe only darkness awaits you. You are so loved and there will be mercy, surely. It will just take time.

(As for her situation...)

Everything is uncertain in Westeros. I feel like we are on the edge of a storm.

Hello, Lightning. (She considers the description and nods.) My situation isn't ideal at home. I only recently returned to my home, actually. My brother and I have so many enemies that wish our deaths. We will need to prepare to fight.

To make matters worse, I realize I can be taken from Winterfell at any moment on a whim.

I fear there is little to know of me, my lady. I'm of little consequence, aside from having the good fortune of marrying your brother. My family is nothing compared to your own, poor nobility and a shadow of its former standing. My mother's people were spice merchants from Essos originally. My grandfather was honored by Tytos Lannister with the creation of House Spicer. Only then could their daughter marry Gawen Westerling.

It isn't so fine a story as your family's history.

Jon and I remember you differently - or perhaps we are recalling another lady altogether. Robb would not have married twice - that wasn't his nature - so I believe the differences are due to the magic that brought us here in the first place.

(She purses her lips faintly at the mention of Lannister.)

We should speak in person. Anyone could overhear what I wish to say and it could be used against us.

I was told by the others here that there was a story of a foreigner having married Robb. I can only think it is a lie made by a certain house, not wishing to lose face. They use my mother's background to try and shame me. I swear by the old gods and new, I am your brother's wife.

[A beat.]

Where shall we meet?

[He recognises her name. They've spoken before, though not face to face.]

I'd say... you don't need a reason to feel like you don't want to sing. Being in a better situation isn't all there is to making you feel good about things.

[Jet has a lot of feelings on that topic, but for now, he just smiles slightly.]

What made life worthwhile for me was being free.

[What makes it worthwhile to her?]

My family.

[Another pause.]

Not necessarily blood relations, but they're family to me anyway.

{Love shines from the Elf's eyes, and he smiles sadly.}

I did much harm, and little good. If mercy is shown me and my family, it will be a long time in coming.

You, at the least, have your life before you. You will weather that storm and rise above it.

(She wants to see him. Her journal is closed, her pen tucked away in her bag, and she rises, balancing on the stones.)

Do not forget Lords Elrond and Elros. They will carry your kindness with them and speak well of you, I have no doubt!

(She smiles faintly.)

I hope that is so.

I understand what you mean. I too have made a family that is not related to me by blood. I do not think such things matter much when it comes to the heart.

(She recognizes his voice and accepts his wisdom. He has provided her with good advice before.)

I do not wish to seem ungrateful or greedy. Happiness comes and goes for me and I cannot always explain why.

(She blinks curiously.)

How do you define freedom?

{Maedhros would never deny her. He's made himself comfortable on the shore just a little further from this island's population.}

I could never forget them, or their kindness. And if any could sway the Valar, it is them.

I believe you. You and I are family and I won't hold your heritage against you. That seems incredibly petty.

(She trusts her brother's judgement. It's the least she can do in the honor of his memory.)

Where are you staying? Since I asked for this meeting, I shall come to you.

(She makes her way down the shore, peeking at his surroundings to gauge where he is resting.)

They will for you and for Maglor too. They won't forget you; you are their family.

(She grins a little when she comes across a red seashell. Picking it up, she tucks it into her bag too.)

I believe in love and loyalty; you have shown me it is possible.

{She won't have a hard time finding him!}

I do not know if Kano will ever let himself Sail, even if he was given permission to.

{Maedhros smiles, warmed by her affectionate words.}

How could I do any less? From the beginning of your time here, you have been reminding me!

(The video will end abruptly. She has spotted him! Sansa is very light-footed, her delight helping her to be swifter. Get ready for a hug, Maedhros!)

He is so stubborn.

(She loves that about Maglor, but it does him no good!)

They will need to fetch him. By force, if necessary!

{Then she won't mind getting scooped up in a hug, right?}

We come by it naturally! {Unfortunate in some cases, fortunately in others!}

I hope they do find him, for it would mean he let them.

(Nope! She laughs and holds onto him tightly.)

I am fond of that trait - except when it harms you. (Her expression falls.) He can cloak himself so well?

{Excellent! Maedhros holds her close and kisses the top of her head before setting her gently back on her feet.}

You have seen his mastery of the Music, Sansa. In addition, each of my brothers and I have had extensive experience in not being found if we do not wish to be.
