❝ It is so good to see you. ❞

SHE FELT AS THOUGH HER HEART MIGHT BURST, hearing those words from her niece. ever since she boarded the ship to essos, lyanna wondered if she would ever be welcomed home again. her girlhood had been marred by a foolish mistake paid for by a thousand lives, that of her own family included. the realm bled because of one willful northern girl, and the north suffered loses beyond her wildest imaginings. it’s a wonder the land hadn’t cursed her, and neither did the people. it’s a miracle she did not have to go on her knees to explain herself so that she could be forgiven.
“sansa,” lyanna whispered, enveloping her niece in a hug and pressing a kiss on her beautiful copper crown. she looked like the lady catelyn when her sister-in-law was younger, but there was a lot of ned in her, too. a lot of quiet bravery and bone-deep honor. she could see the north alive and thriving in her fierce tully looks, and an instinctive protective love howled inside her chest. “it is so good to see you,” alive and well, despite the horrors she had gone through. the war will be waged against the boltons, her son would see to that, and then the lannisters would never be able to claim as the only house whose bloody debts were paid.
lyanna pulled away if only to look at her niece at a better proximity. stark gray eyes roamed with gentle appraisal, and a deft hand brushed away red locks from sansa’s face. “you look beautiful, my lady. beautiful and brave. will you sit with me for a moment?” she had been trying to brush away the knots in ghost’s coat, but the direwolf had little patience for the she-wolf’s efforts. perhaps it was best to let him run outside and hunt for prey. “we have so much to talk about if you’re willing. i know i would love to spend some time with you.”
