She had been nailing in a heel when she heard the sound of something breaking and her cat jumped from his perch, immediately running off to investigate. Another sound of things being knocked over and the sound of both her hermanos yelping, made Imelda put down her tools, and march out into the garden behind her zapataría. 

That’s when she saw the dog. Chaos and noise and excitement and clumsiness. 

“What is going on?” Mamá Imelda demanded, hands on her hips as the dog skidded along the floor, under her tables and into the feet of a stranger, a man with red hair and skin which would probably burn in this sun, who she presumed was the owner.

“Is this tu perro?” She asked, leaning away when the perro tried to lick her.

It was a strange loss, almost doubling in impact for all the complications around it. That she had taken her own life was tragedy and pain enough, but it meant not only had they lost their sister, but they had lost the new person she was as well. Lizzie had far more about her than her past self, and she was a good doctor with a good heart, and now...now she was gone. Supposedly because she couldn’t bear the memories of the past? Everything seemed to make everything worse, like a constant cycle. 

“I just can’t believe she’s gone...I thought...when I heard, I was sure they had made a mistake”

They had kept coming, first just Zack and Tom, but then others, others that didn’t usually do work on the ground floor anymore, who hadn’t done tours of duty in absolutely centuries. Mona just hadn’t realised Edmure had seen them properly or heard anything of what they were talking about.

“I’m not leaving, I’m not,” She reassured him again, “They have been coming, I know, and they need help with something, something serious, but I’m not leaving” She kissed him again, more reassurance than words could give him right now, “Look at me, look at me; when I asked to become human, they told me there would be no going back. no undoing it, no matter what happened”

She had finished for the day, finished her teaching, walking away across the grounds when she saw someone, someone she hadn’t expected and leaped a little in shock, in surprise. 

He looked like Lady Stark, had her colouring, her eyes, but he looked more like the son, the oldest, Robb, looked very similar, as if he could be his older brother, though she knew he wasn’t, knew he was the Uncle. Lord Stark, Ned, he had told her that the Tully would be visiting, that he would be staying over...it made sense, she supposed, to want to be close to family while things were strange, while things were moving in time, but she thought, thought but did not say, it would only add to the chaos.

He was near one of the streams that came from the hot springs, the one near the pool. It made sense, she supposed, he was a water sprite, needed water, liked it. Genie could only think of drowning in it, of her husband, and she was glad, glad that she had no history in this country, that visions of the past were never of her family.

“Oh! I am sorry, sorry for jumping,” She apologised, as the familiar spirals of frost ran over the lamp she had grabbed in her moment of surprise, “I did not expect, usually there is no one here, not even the gardeners, they think they will fall in, fall in the pool. Because of the dip”

When she woke, Sansa was already covered with a blanket to cover her nakedness. The last thing that she remembers was being stuck in a vision and the familiar crack of the shift. Her eyes were blurry with sleep, but when they finally focused there was a friendly face waiting for her.

“Uncle Edmure. Did--Did you find me?” Exhaustion had settled into her limbs as she sat up, holding the blanket close to herself. All she wanted to do was sleep, but truly she should get dressed and go home. There was no telling how long she had been in her wolf form. At least she was sure that she wasn’t harmed, that was quite fortunate. “Where are we? How long have I been gone?” Her parents would be going mad with worry and Robb was probably scouring the area for her.

When Edmure had announced he was coming to stay in the North a short while, Catelyn had not protested, despite the moon-related troubles that were plaguing everyone, even those mundane without gifts were suddenly being treated to visions of the past and future, like their world was built on shifting sands and the tide had come too strong.

She had not, however, expected Edmure to be bringing a girl with him, more specifically the girl she had smelled upon him not over a month past. She was pretty, with a warm expression and bouncing curls, and though she was clearly her brother’s age, there was something that made her appear older, just as it was with all Seers, as if seeing too much aged them too quickly in the mind if not the body. A woman she would not typically have expected to spark her brother’s interest...

Catelyn sought her brother out in order to speak with him on the matter, and also to ask him the reasoning of such a sudden visit, but she had not been with him five minutes before time played it’s funny tricks once more. A false moon, as Maester Luwin had called them, time giving their bodies the illusion that the night was lit by a full moon when it wasn’t. They had only suffered one thus far, thankfully, and now there was this second. 

Hesitant, she stepped back from Edmure, claws catching in the wool of the rug as she did so. She had always strived to spare him of bearing witness to her changes, ever since he was a small boy and she had experienced her first. He had been a child who had needed protecting, but he was a man grown now...and yet still, she felt the urge to guard him, spare him.

It was one thing to See, to see beyond what was right in front of you, but this, to see nothing, to see not the past or the future,  but neither the present, to see nothing at all before her, only a black abyss, was something which might easily make her panic when it first happened, could even make her panic now, especially when she felt an unsteady step. But she was amongst friends, with Edmure, who she trusted despite his current....erratic behaviour. So erratic that Mona thought the Maester sounded apprehensive to give his diagnosis. 

“I begin to think the moon is more trouble than it’s worth these past few months,” Mona said as she gripped Edmure’s arm tightly as he led her down the spiral steps. The cool of the air told her they were on the ground floor now, but where she did not know. “This feels like an all too serious game of Blind Man’s Bluff. Edmure?” She called out his name when she felt an unfamiliar footing, “Edmure I--” She tripped over something, and only kept herself from falling entirely by her grip on his arm, though she swung around comically. “Tell me that appeared graceful”

She had never had the gift for seeing the future, only the past had ever revealed itself to her, and she had gotten a fairly good handle upon those visions from an early age; a calm and sage character naturally helped a control of what she saw, for images to wash over her gently like warm rain...rather than hitting her right in the face like a cold tidal wave.

It was not so since the blue lunar eclipse; for one, things hit her unexpectedly, making her tired, confused about the days of the week and the times in the day, and they were from the future as well as the past. One vision she had walked in on in the courtyard of Riverrun had stuck with her through the rest and made her feel prone to blushing when she looked at Edmure...it had made the train journey North a little silent. 

“Gods, I feel almost as if I’m back home with this chill wind,” Mona attempted to joke, to fill the air, and overcome her blushing awkwardness, as she and Edmure departed the train at the station in Winter Town. “We’ve both been quiet” She said suddenly.
