Thank you.

[ Unfortunately, Levi has only ever heard the word "heir" in the context of the rightful Queen in the Walls, so this extra information does little to dissuade him from "Lyanna" being high-born. ]

[ His expression doesn't change too much, but there's a softer look in his eyes, melancholic almost. ]

I've had four best friends over the years. Furlan was the first, always keeping me in check and thinking up ways to make our lives better. Isabel was always looking for adventure; she loved animals and always kept her heart open for a new friend.

They both died.

[ That should paint the picture of the rest of the story, really. ]

Erwin... saved me. He brought me into the light, gave me a purpose and his trust. He was an unmatched strategist, and his reckless gambles usually paid off. He along with many others died to give me a fighting chance.

Then it was just me and Hange left. They're a lot... always experimenting and looking for new ideas and discoveries, loudest voice in the room, though they've lost some of their energy in recent years.

[ They're going to die soon after Levi's current canonpoint! :) ]

[ too many friends to have died, and so soon. but perhaps ser levi's home is as harsh as sansa's, and death is as commonplace as anything. he certainly doesn't seem dissuaded by the frankness she offers about her own departed. ]

I would much like to pray for them, if yo won't mind it. We could always honour their memory here, even if we're far from our homes.

[wingbound]

[ in some ways, it is less harsh. in others, it is harsher. perhaps if sansa's world still had roaming, people-eating dragons, but women were allowed to be soldiers, it would be somewhat similar. ]

... [ There's no place for religion in Levi's life, save for wondering about fate sometimes, but he can understand the purpose of some rituals. He also understands that to someone who believes in it with their heart, this is a kindness offered. ] I don't mind.

[ sansa takes levi's hands in hers, and closes her eyes for a moment. ]

May the Mother give peace, wherever they find rest. May the Crone give its wisdom, in the face of loss. May the Warrior give strength to survive our enemies, and those who might do us harm.

May the Stranger give mercy, in its coming and its going.

[ a small prayer, a small comfort. ]

[wingbound]

[ he allows it, and stares awkwardly at her face for a few moments before finally resigning to close his eyes, too. ]

[ the words are odd, but the message behind them seems kind. ]

...thank you.

[clothed]

The thanks are mine to give, Ser Levi. I hope I've helped you to find some measure of peace.

[ they could all do with a lot of it. ]

[wingbound]

[ they really could. ]

[ it doesn't really make it hurt less, or reassure him in any way. he knows what he has to do to honor their memory; that is the only peace he will ever get about it. ]

[ but for that, he needs to get home. ]

Maybe.

[ it's not a yes, but it's probably the best that can be expected. ]

[clothed]

Any comfort I could give, please, ask it of me. If it's within my power to give, you shall have it.

I'd much like to think we are friends, good ser.

[ and how precious it is, to have someone to call a friend in a desolate landscape, faced by death at every turn. ]

[wingbound]

That's kind of you. I'll keep it in mind.

[ Unfortunately, right now the only comforting thing to him would be the knowledge that he's going home, and that's not something any of them here have the power to make happen. At least, not yet. ]

[ It's... a little odd to think of them as "friends", per se. She's so young, he can't help but feel a certain responsibility, protectiveness that's perhaps more befitting someone like a guardian than a peer. But he appreciates it. He nods. ]

I would like that, too.

We could close after this?

[clothed]

Thank you.

I hope you find some solace here, Ser Levi. You've been very kind to me. I hope I'll be able to return the kindness you've shown me.

sounds good!

[wingbound]

[ His face doesn't change, but as she's perhaps starting to pick up on, it's really his eyes that tell his thoughts and quite accurately at that. Right now, his gaze is less severe again, soft, almost. ]

You're doing well so far, kid.
