(With life comes death. Sansa knows this lesson intimately, but the mourning is never easier to bear.)

Some would think me ridiculous. (She is definitely teary-eyed and her complexion is a little blotchy. No one looks good crying, okay.) I have said farewell to one of my sheep. She was sweet and I think she was old when we met.

(Her pygmy goat is resting in her lap, trying to be a comfort.)

If...someone could help me move her? I know the wolves would be appreciative of the gift.

I could help.

[He pauses.]

... Do you have to give her to the wolves?

[After all, mutton is quite good, even old mutton....]

How so? (She is curious about the question.) No, I do not have to, but I thought it might go to waste otherwise. I do not have the strength to prepare the meat for myself.

[impetuouswind]

I am quite large, and so it would be easy for me to move her.

And if you do not want the meat to go to waste, perhaps it could be roasted, or stewed, with onions.

[He pauses thoughtfully.]

And spices.

[stonebird]

I have never prepared an animal in that manner. Do you know how it is done?

(She isn't against the idea: he does make a nice point.)

I take it you are not human?

[impetuouswind]

Yes.

[He thinks. Guessing what he knows how to do is always dubious, but he can name many important steps in stewing and roasting, and so he thinks he might know how to cook meat, after all.]

I am a dragon. I believe we had tea together, when I first arrived?

[She looks familiar, although many humans do look the same....]
