Forgive me for such a brazen response, madam.

[ Edward, it's a game... But all of these seem quite personal. ]

If three is the truth, are they names you bear in different situations? Or do all of them belong to you at once?

[clothed]

[ madam. rare is the moment that sansa feels completely taken aback. ]

All three names are mine and not. All three names are given as taken. [ now this sounds like a riddle. ] All three names are true.

How might a girl come about three names, my lord?

[fidior]

[ Likewise, there's a startle to be addressed as "my lord", certainly a first for him in this place. But Edward sobers at the response. He doesn't want to presume anything, certainly, but... given her other statements, some things do add up, and none of them sit comfortably within him. ]

I suppose... if one had been married twice.

[ It really is not his business to intrude upon, and he looks visibly apologetic, dipping his head shyly for a moment. ]

That must mean that two is... the lie?

[clothed]

[ what a curious man. he clearly has an interest, in the statements if not her personally, but he seems to restrain himself from asking as much as might like. out of civility?

a mannered man, perhaps a proper one. hmm. ]

I may have bent the rules of the game just a little. All of them are true, in their own ways — just more or less true, in measures. By blood I only have four; my trueborn siblings, and my father's bastard. The fifth is charged upon my father and raised with us.

I would not mind finding them here, my father's charge or bastard. [ flatly: ] The rest of my trueborn siblings are likely dead.

[fidior]

[ Ah — Edward actually smiles a little. ]

You are skilled at this game.

[ But he visibly sobers at that. ] I am sorry to hear it. Are you... close? With those two in particular?

[ He didn't miss the shift in her tone when speaking of the rest of her siblings. ]

[clothed]

[ at this, sansa smiles a little sadly. ]

I was horrible to them, actually. I misliked Jon because my mother misliked him, being my father's bastard and more alike him in his looks than my older brother. And Theon... he did not much like me, and so I never troubled him with my presence.

Still, family is family. I'd like to see them again.

Thank you for the compliment, ser. I don't think I've played a game like this before. Is it a common game, where you're from?
