fearcutsdeeperthanswords: (but o then a faceless death)
[Static is immediate when the audio clicks on, and in between the static is silent. It's hard to hear Arya when she does speak, though - she's whispering.]

--llo? Is --ne in th--aves?

[She woke up alone, with a pack full of as many helpful things she could get her hands on. There's a lot of fruit, some bottles of water she was able to find, and absolutely no acorns or roots. She still remembers how to scavenge them, though: some things leave an imprint on you, no mater how short a time they lasted or how long ago they happened. She remembers traveling through a kingdom ravaged by war. She remembers staying out of sight.

It's been a long time since Arya was alone. Truly alone, anyway: the journey from the Inn at the Crossroads to Saltpans was the last time she had no one in the world to lean on, even if she wanted to. It makes her feel big and small, all at once.]


Nymeria --ot here--

[That was the first thing she noticed, once the pack was on her shoulders and her sword was secured at her waist. When she called for Nymeria, the direwolf didn't come. It worries her, a little - not for Nymeria's safety, but for her own. A direwolf is a good companion to have, even in close quarters, especially when you can't see. She's not a wolf, after all, and there are no stars, no moon to light the way here.

The static swallows the sound of rocks striking, of a torch being lit.]
--'m alo-- going to look--

[She cuts herself off, this time, as the faint echoes of a wail - no, a scream - reach her.]

Who was --at?

When at last she slept, she dreamed of home. The kingsroad wound its way past Winterfell on its way to the Wall, and Yoren had promised he'd leave her there with no one any wiser about who she'd been. She yearned to see her mother again, and Robb and Bran and Rickon...But it was Jon Snow she thought of most. She wished somehow they could come to the Wall before Winterfell, so Jon might muss up her hair and call her "little sister." She'd tell him, "I missed you," and he'd say it too at the very same moment, the way they always used to say things together. She would have liked that. She would have liked that better than anything.
