( a semi-plotted starter for @dierwlf & grey wind ! )
there is a pounding in her head that has little to do with music. raucous, clanging, it drives her forward by sheer desperation. slipping unseen through the twins is too complex and yet too easy, a game of shadows and stolen moments, light feet and darting eyes. any wrong moment would be her undoing, any unsure step. but the night is full of shadows and raised voices and blood that sings with wine and ale, and no one seems to see the slip of her shadow or hear the light step of her feet. it is a northern or a tully face she looks for, and yet not just any such face : she cannot tell her secret to just anyone - - - which of them would listen? it is for a familiar face that she prays as she slips from shadow to shadow, even a hard or a fearsome one. lord edmure, lady catelyn, robb stark, grey wind...
it is the latter she sees first, and it is with timid steps that she approaches him, looks up from beneath the hood of her cloak as trembling fingers reach out to tug his sleeve. “please,” she whispers, with soft brown eyes made frantic by the knowledge locked within her. “please....a moment?”
