I heard that today is a holiday here where people send letters to their mothers and take them out to dinner. I wanted to tell you that I'm glad you're here and if you like I can ask the house elves to make food for you.
"I took a ship," she mumbled. She didn't mention the Temple of the Many-Faced God. She didn't mention how she got to be on the ship, as that would mean she would have to tell about Jaqen and the deaths he had owed her, and the people she had helped kill. She wasn't quite ready to talk about that with her mother yet.
"But most of them came right after dying, not--" she hesitated. "You know."
Catelyn nodded. She sensed there was much Arya was not telling her, but Catelyn could not fault her for it; they had all gone through things it might be best not to speak of, at least not yet.
"I was a...special case, I think," she said. "Though I am told there are creatures here much like I was--zombies, I think they are called. People who died, and were reanimated, only...not all the way."
"I haven't seen any. The dead people I know don't look dead. I know two others." Lily and Laura had both looked normal, like they could have just walked in off the road. "This place is very, very strange."
