Re: No One Is Listening (GoT) 2/2

The Lord continues: “I say, to honor the debt your brother made, Winterfell should go to the only true Starks left.  The Karstarks.”

It is a threat.  One of her few men at arms takes the box from the boy, who dances on his feet in indecision before slinking to the shadows, and places it before her on the high table.  Sansa flicks her long, red hair over her shoulder negligently.  She begins undoing the complicated knots of twine securing the box while speaking, “I have been married twice over, this is true.  Winterfell and the North are still healing, this is also true.  But my father had a saying that was not our house words, and not a motto of sorts the smallfolk like to bandy about, but a simple statement.  There must always be a Stark in Winterfell.”

The lid of the box is set to the side, and a small smile turns her mouth as she lifts the contents free.  The hall goes quiet.

A wig of long, luxurious, golden hair spills out of the box.
