There is only one such crown, Catelyn, and it hasn’t been in use for centuries. “A crown of swords, were her actual words. “She was crying, and choking, and said something about a crown- nothing completely coherent. “Robb says that she came to his chambers last night too,” he told Catelyn quietly. The next morning, while she still slumbered, Ned went to speak to Robb. In time, Sansa had consented to slipping into their bed, and slept curled between the two of them.
None of the responsibilities Robb would have, none of Arya’s wildness or Bran’s penchant for climbing dangerous heights- she’d been the calm, steady one of the children. Sansa had never been their quietest child, but she had been the one they didn’t worry about. Catelyn tried as well, only to be met with louder sobs and a daughter more distraught than she’d ever seen her.Ĭatelyn and Ned exchanged worried looks. Sansa only buried her face in his chest as if she were a babe once more, and mumbled, “A dream.”īut when questioned further, she wouldn’t respond. “Sweetling,” Ned murmured, once she’d stopped shuddering so violently, “what happened? What’s the matter?” Her sobs became louder, spurring Catelyn out of their bed as well. Then he tossed his sword aside- Catelyn winced at the clatter of steel on stone- and crossed the last few feet in a large stride, wrapping Sansa in a warm embrace.Īt his touch, Sansa flinched, recoiled, and threw herself into his arms, all in one motion. Ned blinked and lurched to the side for a moment, before registering Sansa’s hiccups.
“Ned,” Catelyn hissed, “you’re scaring her.” Sansa, illuminated in moonlight, dropped to her knees, staring at them with eyes that looked simultaneously terrified and hopeful disbelieving and stunned and, for a heartbeat, incandescently happy. The door banged against the wall, not loud enough to mask her high, piercing wail Catelyn startled and bolted upright as Ned grunted and rolled out of bed, unsheathing his greatsword in a single, graceless motion. It all started the night she burst into their rooms.
