((After letter exchange with Arya here))


My lord Father,

Arya told me you were here - I am sorry to have missed your Sorting and not greeted you myself, but I have been hiding in the library otherwise occupied for some while. I am not sure what to write, I saw there was tar so... I'm very glad you're here, Father. And not dead.

Sansa





Robb,

Or should it be 'Your Grace'? You were King in the North, after all. Arya told me you were here. I am sorry I missed your Sorting, but I'm glad you're here and not dead. I don't know how it's so, but I'm glad anyway.

Daughter,

Your greetings and your concern touch my heart. I understand you may have had more reasons than one to seek seclusion. Your sister has told me (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1387157.html?thread=70847125#t70847125) of your plight, this forced marriage to Tyrion Lannister. Such a thing was not done by consent of your kin, nor would any maid ever have wished to be the Imp's bride. It is no true marriage, but a shameful crime. Sansa, believe me, I will do all that is in my power to dissolve it. It is a grave sorrow to me that I could not protect you. Now the gods have vouchsafed me a return to some semblance of life, no Lannisters will prey upon my children.

A word, in passing. I see you have sought to correspond with your brother Robb. He is in no condition to reply. I pray you remember your love for him, and forgive what he cannot help.

Your loving father,
Eddard Stark.

My lord Father,

Plight? Which one? Tyrion is the only Lannister who has never preyed upon me, Father. If I must be married... and I accept that I must... Tyrion is no worse than many and better than most. Especially since I don't really have many other options. My lord husband has been unfailingly kind and considerate, though I've given him little enough reason. And I have... Things are not simple. I have my own reasons for desiring my marriage to continue.

I had wondered about the handprint! I am unlikely to forget my love for any member of my family, don't worry - I am too glad that the gods gave you both back.

Your daughter,
Sansa
