A ficlet for friends

In honor of my new status as “the Koala” thanks to @aliceofalonso and the Cabal, a little teaser ficlet touching on all our favorite people. 

Daybreak on the Quiet Isle

 Brienne woke slowly, rising gently through layers of sleep and awareness until she opened her eyes and blinked at the light on the whitewashed stones above her. Her body felt wholly relaxed and comfortable for the first time in who knew how long. She had slept without dreams for a change, and she took a moment to thank the Seven for Elder Brother and for the simple blessing of a night’s sleep.

She dressed slowly, humming one of the fishermen’s songs she knew from her childhood. No doubt the smell of salt and the call of sea birds had acted in her mind as she slept. Standing outside her door she took a deep breath and smiled to see Pod trotting in her direction, his face shining with joy.

 “Ser! Milady!” he called before he even reached her. He was waving, a huge grin wreathing his plain face.

“Why Podrick, you seem cheerful! What news?”

“The Lady! She is, I mean, she was…” he broke off and thrust a scroll at her, bouncing on his toes and clasping his hands.

Brienne unrolled it and read, her blue eyes growing wider as she scanned the page. Thinking she had misread she went over it again, more slowly, forcing herself to read each word.

To all loyal vassals and friends of Houses Stark and Tully,

The Lady Sansa Stark, of Winterfell and Riverrun, has retaken her ancestral seat in the North from the traitor Roose Bolton. She calls upon all those loyal to her Person and her House to return to Winterfell and swear allegiance to the Queen in the North. Winter is Coming.

Brienne met Podrik’s shining eyes with her own, her grin mirroring his perfectly. They were standing there like fools when Elder Brother walked up, his own smile radiant.

 “A man brought that this morning. It is being hand carried to those forces in the riverlands still loyal to the Tullys.” He said. “Sansa Stark was hiding in the Vale all this time! She descended on the Boltons like a thunderclap, catching them between Stannis and the walls of Winterfell, with all the chivalry of the Vale of Arryn behind her. Ten thousand heavy horse and twice as many spears.”

Brienne shook her head.

“It’s wonderful news. I must go to her at once.” She murmured, reading the letter again. She handed it back to Elder Brother reluctantly. A movement caught her eye down by the stables and Brienne’s eyes narrowed into blue chips.

“You attempted to mislead me, Brother.” She said, watching the limping form of the gravedigger making his way along the path.

“I wondered if you would see clearly.” Elder Brother said ruefully. “I did not intend to mislead, merely redirect. What is past is past. I was hoping to leave him in peace.”

“I’m afraid not, Brother. The past rides with us wherever we go, and peace is not for the likes of us.” She said as she started down the small rise to intercept the retreating figure. Podrick hurried after her, a question plain on his face.

“What is it milady?”

“A dead man, Podrick. Someone we need to talk to.”

So. Should I write more? What happens when they reach Winterfell? What about our boy Jon Snow? And Stannis? Where is that slimy Baelish? I want these to all be short little bites that still manage to cover a lot. Crit welcomed.
