(For her efforts in the Colosseum, Sansa is sporting a nice purple bruise on her cheek and a split lip. But you should see the other guy...er...Ogre.)

I am, as ever, impressed by the creative manner in which Hadriel welcomes new residents. (Her mannerisms and voice are a bit stiff, suggesting she probably feels otherwise.) Has anyone been keeping a log of the monsters we've encountered? I don't know what purpose it would serve beyond helping us be more prepared should we encounter them a second time.

(She winces and reaches down to hold one of her sides.)

My memory has never failed me, but I'm not an artist. If pictures could be drawn depicting the beasts then we need not know their names specifically.

(While her pet names for some of the foes are colorful and sometimes amusing, a picture is worth - Well, you get it.)

Of course if this is a project that has already been undertaken, ignore what I said and instead, direct me to the information gathered, please?

You help me by loving me. What befalls me is out of your hands - and mine. Regardless I will know you care.

Even so, little firebird, I would that I could protect thee.

In that scenario, the Guard would handle it. We are meant to protect the city and its residents, after all.

[ Against ogres and much, much worse. ]

Just to wrap this one! He loves Sansa.

I am proud of you, that you have taken on this task -- welcoming the new arrivals.

[ She is brave indeed! And there are many definitions of a warrior. Curufin thinks she qualifies. ]

I'm glad you had Tinya with you. But remember, you can learn from every single combat experience, even if you never got to strike a blow. Turn it over in your mind, imagine where you were positioned and how the creature attacked, and how Tinya responded. Slow it all down to really slow motion! And then twist and turn those images in your mind, imagine what you might have done if you could have chosen whatever action your body and your sword could possibly perform. Run as many scenarios in your mind as you can imagine. You can even practice them on your own, or with a sparring partner and somebody else to pretend to be the monster.

And don't worry, everybody gets bruises and cuts while fighting. Go and see a healer, if you think you need to. They could at least give you some soothing balm for your lip.

[ And he gives her a look that is like a hug. ]
