[Sigrid is looking fairly haggard and pale. Behind her is the rugged green wilderness surrounding the Station, though the Station itself is not in sight.]

I'm in the middle of nowhere at all and I've got a bad leg. I couldn't find my locket and I had to ask a thrush to find it for me. A thrush. I'm talking to thrushes and they answer me. Anyway I need help. The thrush said he'd go and find someone, but I don't know who he meant. Does anyone know if thrushes are wise birds or silly birds? If he brings back a bear or something, I've got to hide now.

[Hey sometimes Jon just needs to know things!!]

Any meat, he'll take. Sometimes he'll go out to hunt for himself, when he gets the urge to, but sometimes he'll sit beneath the table and winkle dinner right off the plates of unsuspecting folk with his big baleful eyes.

I'd've been wary he'd take a hand off. He's as big as my horse, or near to.

[But all huge animals seem rather nerve-wracking and excessive to Sigrid.]

[Jon winces, remembering with a sudden clarity their first meeting. A good number of people here had been strangely bold about the direwolf, and his men at the Wall had grown accustomed to Ghost, so much so that Jon sometimes forgets how terrifying he can be to strangers.] I won't call him gentle, but neither does he do that sort of thing without cause. [He ducks his head. He had apologized at the time, but...] I am yet sorry how he treated you, at that feast.

Why? All he did was ask for food. Big animals make one nervous, that's all.
