(A pack of wolves is surely a welcome sight? No? They smile and nip at one another, showing teeth that can easily rend a man apart.)

Robb, do not tease your sister so! (Sansa holds out her hand, walking into frame. The largest wolf breaks free of his free-spirited family and trots up to her. He is rewarded with fresh morsels of meat and a good ear scratch.)

Arya, I have not forgotten you. (Another wolf - this one smaller and darker - edges closer to receive her treat.)

Jon, Bran, Rickon, you too. (Each wolf takes after their namesake in some way: Jon is white, Bran has reddish-brown fur and Rickon is the smallest of the pack, barely out of the puppy stage. Sansa removes her gloves after feeding them and drops a kiss on Robb's head.)

Do not stray far from the temple. I like hearing you sing at night.

Can you... talk to wolves?

I cannot say I understand them fully, but Dali helps me connect with them.

Ohhh your god name.

[At first he almost thought she was speaking in 3rd person.]

Well I guess that makes more sense.

She is me - that is true - but, as her, I feel far more informed about nature and the creatures of the mountain and forest in particular.

(So, yes, third person, yet...not?)

It is complicated to be a goddess.

[And she hit the limits of what social graces the very poor boy grew up with.]

Bet it's not as complicated as being a shinki.

Perhaps. At least I have my memories. (She can empathize.) Not that you should search for them. You must trust us on that score.

I- I didn't say I was!

[He suddenly looks nervous.]

I know what happens! It hurts - a lot.

You have seen another...? (Her features drain of color.)

Seen another? No, I wasn't so lucky as that.

[It happened to him personally.]

You are the one who suffered? How is it that you are whole and yourself? (She thought the effect was...utterly disastrous.)

A doctor acted quickly. I went into a whole pool of holy water and he calmed me down.

[As far as Yoon's concerned, both were important.]

All within maybe... 10 minutes.

[ There's a wide-eyed six-year-old staring at the screen in fascination. ]

Whoa, they're so big!

(She is precious. Sansa beams.)

Their fur is soft too.

Really? [ Nanako is enthralled. ] Are they really wolves? I didn't think wolves liked people?

My family has always had a special connection with them. They are very bright animals and I do not expect them to behave like dogs. (They do as they like and Sansa accommodates them.)

[ Her expression is awed. ] Wow, that sounds really neat! What are they like? Are they friendly? Or do they get scary sometimes too?

What beautiful animals ya've there, lass.

[ While Butch's favorite animal might be the horse, it doesn't mean he dislikes wolves, even if he's spent many years guarding cattle from them. They are gorgeous wolves. ]

I am of an accord with you, ser. (Direwolves are better, but this particular pack tugs at her heart for their similarities to her lost siblings.) I am honored to have their trust.

Jus’ call me Roy. [ He doesn’t know what difference there is between “sir” and “ser” but it’s related somehow, probably. Either way, it’s wrong to call him that. ] Far as I know it is, wolves don’t trust just anyone, after all.

My name is either Sansa or Dali, Roy. (Some strike her as knight-like and so she opts for "ser" occasionally.) No, they are very particular. My family has a special connection with them on Westeros.

[ He doesn’t know about that, but he would understand her reason for calling him that even less if he did. ]

Alright, Sansa then. [ Because they’re not the gods, even if they get to use their names. ] They are? Why’s that?
