[But Lady is Sansa Stark's wolf. Lady should not be...
...she should not be alive. And the distance she tries to put between herself and her wolf makes her feel guilty, shameful even. That's enough to make Alayne Stone cry, though she does it in as much silence as she can manage - and she's out the first door she finds, seeking somewhere private, away from everyone and everything - but it doesn't work out that way, because what she finds is a garden, and there's a wolf waiting for her there.
Arya needs you to have them. [I need you to have them.] They are not bad memories. You were very well liked here. You were older, and wise. You were very like Robb.
[there. he's said it. for the first time. you were like robb, and now you are like me. he does not want sansa to live like him, hating the boy he had been. he would not want anyone to live like that.]
[She could say the same of Robb, but it would be half a lie, and any truth in it would crumble under the bitterness of it. She can't bring herself to say it after all, and disgust with herself rises high.
Arya needs you to have them.
Arya needs you.]
I...
...Arya does not deserve more failure. [Not from me, no matter who I am. Nor do you.] But I don't know if I can.

But I would like to hear what the others have to say. I only mean to listen, and I can't ask everyone I run across such things.

And that wolf is patient.]
