[He did know it. Sansa had always been willing to help him, if he asked it.]

I want to create a shelter in De Chima for those without a home. I thought Lucy's farm would be a good stretch of land.

What do you think?

I wasn't thinking about the election.

[Though it did seem to cross his mind when he didn't want it to. The first time he tried to grab power and go against his natural inclinations. Maybe it was a sign he wasn't meant to have it?]

There isn't much I can do now. I need to find a new occupation.

But you're right, I do want to help the people here.

I'd like that.

But I thought you could help me manage it as well. I can't do it all alone.

[He needed her help.]

It would let you work elsewhere, if you wanted?

I'll have to find something else as well.

[He didn't want the family to contribute to their upkeep. He was stubborn, wanting to protect them and provide everything they needed. He was going to have to find something to at least let him keep paying for what they needed.]

You were always good at helping Lady Stark manage a household.

[And being steward helped him. The two of them together could have it running sooner than most shelters would be.]

Are you sure that is what you want to do?

[It seemed beneath her, but he didn't know how to put that to words.]

The training center? I helped trained the men in the Night's Watch.

[But this was a bit different. It was helping others learn to use their powers, which he didn't completely understand. There had to be an opening for someone to teach hand to hand or combat with a weapon.]

No, I mean continuing with that modeling work.

You could do something else, something you like more.

[Or something he liked more.]

Joining another brotherhood?

[He wasn't sure if he had the stomach to do that again. It might be a fit for him, but he wanted to have some ease and freedom in his occupation.]

There are shops that look for tailors and seamstresses?

[But even that didn't seem right for her. Part of his regret for losing the election was being unable to have Sansa with him, acting in the role he had for Lucy.

Assistant, wasn't that the word?]


There might be others who have wings but are unused to flying?

I had a thought for something, but I can't afford to do it and create this shelter.

[He would have to wait and save his paychecks, as much as he wanted to provide for the family. He would be stretched thin and it would take longer than he wanted.]

Try to stay in De Chima. Maurtia Falls isn't safe.

[For so many reasons.]

You want to be on the battlefield?

I wanted to open a training center of my own.

[The tone of his voice makes it clear that he doesn't think it's a good idea. Doubt hadn't fully left him, even with the confidence he managed to find.]

Nonah and Heropa? They are safer and less hostile to imPorts.

I don't want you hurt during conflict.

I don't have the coin. What little I have is for our family. The rest is going to the shelter.

[He knows that look and knows he's in trouble.]

I think you are capable of helping. You were the one who summoned the Knights of the Vale, but I have already seen a brother die on the battlefield. You are strong Sansa, but I can't lose you the way I lost Rickon.

["We", he notices it and smiles.]

The shelter first, I think.

[He knows better than to actively annoy Sansa...not that it stopped him when they were children.]

I know I can't stop you. [A smile.] You are sounding like Arya.

It would mean that what I earn will have to be split three ways. The family expenses matter more than an idle desire of mine.

[Arya, Bran, Robb and Rickon meant as much to her as they meant to him. He knew she would understand and feel the same wave of nostalgia that he did.

That it soothed her was even better.]


You do, Sansa. The strongest aren't always on the battlefield.

I don't want to ask Lord and Lady Stark to contribute. [After all of this time, a part of him still needed to prove he could succeed, despite his birth.] Robb might need his coin for something else.

[He's making excuses and he knows it.]

I could. [A smile] You want to oversee an army?

[personal profile] song_of_ice 2017-07-27 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It should be my responsibility...

[But it's a weak excuse and he knows it. The tone in his voice indicates that he won't stop her or object further.]

Battles are unpredictable. [As he learned against Ramsay] Sometimes your strategies prove successful, but sometimes, it falls apart.

But I can teach you what I know. You have a level head. I think you could do well.
