Locked to Harper, Sharpe, Jason, Clarisse, Aveline, and Integra
The Unseelie have taken Mair and are moving from there already, in what direction I cannot yet say. Others who know are Lord Eddard Stark, Sergeant Patrick Harper, Major Richard Sharpe, Jason, the lady Clarisse, Ser Aveline and Ser Integra. Lord Stark asks you to conference with one another to determine what must be done.

Locked to Sansa, Renly, and Meera
My lord bids me to conference with you to plan contingencies should Caer Glaem be attacked by the Unseelie, as it will likely happen very soon. Lady Sansa and Meera and I are to be far away when it comes. He bade me ask your help, Lord Renly. But I would like to speak of these matters in person and in private. What time could we meet?

Locked to Aubri
Dear sir, I know who you are because the birds told me of you. You're near Mair and I beg a favor of you.

I confess...I have doubted its neutrality in the past. But--

[ she realizes she should just leave the decision with sigrid; her mind is not bent to these tactics. granted, perhaps neither is sigrid's...but sansa would trust her more than she would trust herself. ]

To wicked men, neutrality only means it is an easier target. Yet your father believes Lord Renly will know what to do.

He will. He would. But we must accept that his priorities may rest with the Tyrells. Margaery was his Lady Wife, once. Or has yet to be. The...language on the matter is a little unclear.

Clear or unclear, it is good practice to mark it. We will plan a little differently than what we tell him.

...Do you think it so possible that the castle might fall?

[ she thinks of the blackwater. of the threats made in maegor's holdfast. ]

The birds have not yet given me their numbers, but I wager it is nothing small. However the battle ends, we are to be far from it. If it goes well, we will come back. If it goes ill, we won't.

[ sigrid is right; they cannot stay. she doesn't want to wait out another siege, uncertain of her fate. there is no payne here to release them from the ravages of a conquering army. ]

I will go find Ser Loras. [ gods, she hopes renly is awake. ] And see to my affairs.

Who is Ser Loras? Do not tell him of my birds. If word gets round, people will start throwing rocks at every bird they see.

He is the Knight of Flowers. And Lady Margaery's brother. Of late a member of the Kingsguard, but we mustn't hold it against him.

But I will keep your feathered friends a secret from him. I will I promise.

Thank you. He sounds very important, but why must we include him? I don't want everyone hopping on the boat and sinking it with too many.

[ ...she argues with herself. should she say it? should she confess how dire the situation is? it's sigrid. if there's anyone she can tell-- ]

He stands vigil over Lord Renly, who has not woken for some days now.

That is no good. Folk round here always choose the worst time to fall into sleep for days.

[Which reminds her she should ask Lady Galadriel how her daughter is doing. Maybe it will give some clue about Renly.]

At times -- at nights -- it makes me scared to fall asleep at all.

[ that and every other reason she has for sleeplessness. but she fears a prison of sleep: she fears being caught in those dreams for days and weeks. ]

Well I saw someone in such a sleep and her mother kept watch over her. I will ask about her, but do not fret. You will be the safest person in Drabwurld if it happens.

[ such pretty promises. but it's harder and harder to feel safe -- even inside the castle -- while so many are missing. her father, her brother, renly asleep, arya gallivanting off without her. ser gendry away. ser loras keeping his vigil.

sansa doesn't want to go hide out in the woods. she'd had enough of sleeping below stars when she'd travelled from caer scima. but if it's safe -- if it's safer than the station -- then perhaps it is fit and right that she and sigrid and meera should flee and make some quiet camp. ]

Let us hope it is a distant hypothetical for either of us. Especially when we have nearer and more real concerns. [ ... ] Do you have a horse?

[ if not, she supposes they might share sansa's. ]

I do.

[She switches suddenly to voice.] Sansa, if you will look at your map, the closest fairy ring could take us almost on top of Daonna. It's got its own city guard, I expect. All we would need is a few days advance of a battle.

Well. And gear and food.

...Daonna. [ she hesitates. ] How big do you think it is? What are its people like?

[ no. she does not like the sound of daonna. ]

I've never been. I'd assume the worst straight off, to be safe. Three young women on our own, no. No, that would be no better than going into the fray of war.

Meera is tough and proven. But even she -- in a crowded street -- [ why is it that the riot springs to her mind? sansa shivers. ]

Let us go where we can be alone.
