So, ah.

Would anyone care to come visit? I can offer a much more...ah, intimate way to get warm. I'm sure you'd know I'm a most gracious host.

(Beloved things (and people) can be held against a person. Sansa learned that from the Lannisters and so she began hiding even her emotions. But she has been opening up, bit by bit, for several years now. It's a healing process - not that she could ever forget what was done to her and her family - yet she can be stronger for it; not merely wounded by it.)

Dark red? And in the snow? Interesting. I've been to places where the leaves turn red in the autumn, but the trees in the Cephea were green year-round.
[How fascinating.]

The seasons in Westeros can last for years at a time. We only recognize Summer and Winter. I was born in the midst of Summer, for example, and it has only now turned Winter.
