Ironrath was never a place she had the pleasure of visiting; she cannot tell what it smelled like or what the temperature had been -- likely cold -- or even distinct details about the place. What she remembers is the people; the faces of House Forrester were far more distinct than their home. She remembers the Lord and Lady who reminded her so much of her father and Lady Catelyn, and the children they brought alongside them. She recalls the laughs of the younger ones, and the fond smiles of the older ones, once a family so content...so happy.
So much like the Starks, the Forresters seem to be. Betrayed, killed, and swept aside.
She spoke very little to Asher when they were younger, but she remembered his face vividly. After everything he has endured, losing so much of his family, and becoming the head of his house...he looks far older than he is. She wonders if she is the same, a legitimized bastard proclaimed a queen, murdered and brought back to life, and looking far too cold for her age.
“Lord Forrester, I thank you for coming on such short notice.” She pauses, letting her eyes wander and linger on the Stark banners lining the walls, then back to him. “I’m very sorry for your losses, my lord. My sister and I understand how you feel far too well.”
