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?

Wait, why? That's terrible... surely things aren't so bad back in your world?

We are going to war with two factions. One will be at Winterfell's door in a matter of weeks or days; the other is coming from the South as soon as we are weak enough to conquer.

That sounds... very dire. I'm sorry, Sansa. You're from a place that's very different than what I'm used to... honestly, it sounds like something you'd read in a book. I guess I never considered that people might be living it.

I admit it does sound like a book. I never imagined my life would be so interesting. I should have prayed for peace as a child instead of romance and adventure.

I don't think anyone would hold that against you if you were a child. I know I often dreamed of the same.

In a sane world, that might be so. But in mine, being a child was no excuse.
