even  if  you  had  offered  her  all  of  her  deepest  desires  filled,  alyra  could  not  have  accurately  described  her  facial  expression  at  arya’s  cavalier  comment.  shock,  horror,  mild  disgust,  even  milder  indications  of  being  impressed,  all  of  these  swirled  into  a  cocktail  that  alyra  had  no  capability  to  describe  even  if  she  wanted  to.  ❛  i  must  say,  general,  that’s  quite…  is  impressive  the  right  word  to  use  here  ?  ❜

❛  at  least  one  of  us  should  be.  ❜  alyra  had  no  qualms  with  any  of  the  starks  and  their  cynicism.  they  had  all  gone  through  enough  as  it  was  before  the  war  not  to  mention  the  past  five  years  of  trauma  after  trauma.  she  wanted  to  do  all  that  she  could  to  alleviate  more  pressure  than  necessary  from  sitting  on  their  shoulders.  besides,  alyra’s  optimism  was  well  placed  in  her  readings,  even  if  she  had  not  shared  the  details  with  the  most  recent  one  with  arya.  ❛  besides,  i  believe  it  is  rather  fitting  that  the  general  be  of  a  pragmatic  mindset.  if  anyone  else  does  not  understand  the  practicality  of  that,  perhaps  they  should  not  be  in  the  war  room.  ❜
