@rcsegilded — ❝ that is another thing about you. you make me want to spill my secrets. ❞
sansa feels warm, bubbly in a way she hasn't in . . . quite a while. lady margaery's visit had been a pleasant surprise ( although every servant and kitchen staff that had to witness her flutter about, turning from mild panic to irritation and back again as she insisted upon making the keep as presentable as possible, might claim otherwise ) that continues to delight her. it is possibly a bleak thing to admit, that between her actual duties and the endless worries that sit upon her shoulders aside, she still has very few friends in winterfell. at least, none that she can visit with quite like this.
❝ i'm sure the wine helps with that. ❞ the shadow of a laugh entwines her words, cheeks nearly aching from the grin she bites the inside of her lip to suppress. her eyes are bright nonetheless, and whether it's from the nigh - empty bottle of sweet red between them or the lady herself across from her, sansa will likely never admit. she is content —— more than that, the warmth of a flush painting winter - kissed skin has a blooming counterpart within her chest. she's leaned forward, elbows set upon the oakwood table like a young girl enraptured by a scandalous tale, queenly posture left behind some hours ago. what echoes they still hold. ❝ since you're feeling so candid tonight, may i ask something? ❞
