Have you ever been in love?

(This is asked late one night and it might seem frivolous with the current concerns hovering over the populace of Hadriel. Yet Sansa believes love is important no matter how long someone lives - or where they are imprisoned. Besides, she had a taste of love recently and it's a frightening - and exhilarating - change of scenery for her.)

Can it last?

Love gave me a taste of their power. (Thankfully the feelings were for a very deserving lady, though the fact that she felt that way for a woman had been a surprise.) I'm realizing so many things and I've had enough time to heal, I think.

[ Ah well now, that explains her questions. Will knows all too well what love can do. ]

To heal?

[ So she's been hurt before then? He feels bad for her, he's had his fair share of heartache. ]

The way I see it... We don't know how long we have here. If you can, you might as well enjoy it while it does last. Gift from the Gods or not.

I'm not new to poor matches. I was betrothed to a cruel king who abused me whenever he pleased. Then he married me to his uncle as a joke, though I much preferred said uncle's company to his. After that, I was married again to a monster. He may have looked like a man, but he lacked empathy for anyone. I'm relieved I did not end up carrying his heir.

(Sansa is just happy when someone doesn't treat her like utter dirt.)

I agree. I'm not worried about tomorrow.
