[ it's clear that, when the video starts, arya's locket is not around her neck. it's around something else... or rather, someone else. that someone is nymeria. and nymeria is hovering around arya as she sits on a crate, a canvas bag at her side and... chocolate all over her mouth, a smudge on her cheek, and on her fingers as she stuffs her face with another piece.]

No-- [ her mouth is full so her words sound like it.] Ru can't haff any. Mits not good for animarls. [ she stuffs another chocolate into her mouth from the canvas bag and chew for a few moments before she stops. she makes a face then groans, her arms wrapping around her torso. she makes another face, you know, the kind you make when you feel sick because that's how she feels. sick. she pushes the bag away, moving to lay down, her voice a bit whiny.]

Nymeria... chocolate might be poison for humans too.

Your sister would always like lemon cakes. But I found something a little prettier, and I'll show you what it is if you won't tell.

[Sigrid pulls out a long bunch of wound gold threads that come together in a knot and end in a sparkling, ornate tassel.]

At the market they said it's called a paranda. You braid it into your hair and secure it by winding the tassels round. Do you think she'll like it?

[ considering arya thinks it's awful...] She should.

[Sigrid grins and winds up the paranda and sets it back in her bag.]

Want to see what I bought you, or do you want to wait till I can give it to you?

[She pulls out and displays a small shooting glove, the sort that only covers three fingers and the back of the hand and fastens around the wrist, leaving the palm bare. It is fairly plain, but it is definitely of excellent quality, with two layers of leather stitched together for it.]

My da--my father is a bowman, and I didn't see any bows I thought very good for someone your height, but this looked about your size. I found prettier, but I didn't find any better.

[ arya's face falls because it reminds her of her brothers. the ones that aren't with them here. bran and robb had been the fondest of archery. and arya had learned from robb.]

[Sigrid's face visibly falls, seeing the reaction. Her gaze falls to the glove, which she folds up between her hands.]

Or...I could get you something else. Unlucky guess, I suppose.

[This is the first moment she has actually looked upset during this conversation, and her face is flushing. She quickly puts the glove back in the bag.]

Never mind, I'll see if I can return it and get the money back.

[One eye is beginning to gleam dangerously, and her voice is sounding just a tad breathless and thick. Stupid, stupid, she'd thought she'd struck gold with that when she saw it.]

I'm going to let you go, sorry. Good-night!

[ she shakes her head.] No. I want it.

[...Did she just hear that?

Sigrid was just about to close the locket but suddenly the air is feeling a little clearer and a spark of hope is struck. She quickly starts blinking away tears and takes a deep breath.]

Oh. Well. Good, then! [She begins to fold it a little more carefully.] Do you know how to shoot?

[aliased]

Yes. My brothers and Jory taught me.

Do you have a bow? You'd probably find a good one in Troichean Beann.
