Queen Sansa.

Have you a retinue to mind your safety yet?

Your Grace. Are you whole and safe?

Are you well, Lady Sansa? ( he's meant to check in on her since the game ended but, well, he hasn't quite been himself. )

[ he doesn't expect any reply from her, for this message. it's not an apology, because they are not in the business of apologising for anything, but there is genuine feeling behind this one.

whether that matters or not, aemond will leave it to the gods. ]

Your bastard brother, Lady Stark. The dragon rider. Would you answer any questions about him?

[ it is not a lemon cake the way they're made back in westeros, but it is a cake that makes use of lemons, citrus, and cream wonderfully.

aemond has a servant leave it in her room. attached to the cake box is a plain card in green ink, with pristine handwriting: ]

To honour your House's words, and offer some comfort during this cold.

[ he doesn't leave his name on it. ]

[ Left outside Sansa's door is a small jewelry box wrapped in brown paper and twine, as well as a card. Inside the box:

— A gold necklace with a wolf's head pendant.

As for the card, it reads: ]

Dear Sansa,

For your assistance with my research into the nature of this place — and your willingness to be forthcoming about the misfortune that befell you — I thought it only appropriate to send you a gift. It is but a small token, but one I hope will at least bring a smile to your face.

May the new year bring you nothing but joy, rather than the sadness and pain of these past months.
— Emmrich Volkarin

[Alia’s gift is wrapped somewhat clumsily in brown paper, likely taken from the kitchens, and taped excessively to ensure it’s secure. Inside, resting in sparkly, star-studded tissue paper:

A snowflake patterned scarf.

A smooth-polished rock from the lake (yes, everyone gets a rock) with the gift-receiver’s initials carefully carved into it (with what? Don’t worry about it.)

A business card for Sol & Scroll, because if you aren’t patronizing it, you should be.

There’s also a note, scribbled on notebook paper stolen from Alina (sorry, babe):]

Lady Sansa -

I have not forgotten your kindness in the cells, nor the warmth of your presence. I would walk with you again, as often as you please it.

- Alia
