[wolfinthesnow]

Are you embarrassed to have me hold you?

[He raises both eyebrows at the question]

action;

[wont]

[ Alayne's expression pinches with confusion briefly. ] No, [ she insists. Then, more certainly: ] No, never. I—

If there is any reason to be embarrassed, it is in taking so long for me to let you.

action;

[wolfinthesnow]

[He smiles slightly, shyly.]

No one will see anyway. Ghost is blocking the door.

action;

[wont]

[ It feels good, to have Jon smile at her the way he does now. In a small and secret manner, the way proper siblings sometimes do. She hazards a tiny, sweet smile back. After a moment, it grows. ]

And there is no seeing around Ghost anymore. He's as broad as a house.

: action;

[wolfinthesnow]

[Jon looks over at his direwolf. Once the smallest and now the largest, he just yawns and curls to block the door]

Lady will grow to that size as well.

action;

[wont]

[ Alayne turns to follow Jon's gaze, her eyebrows lifting in quiet wonderment. ] I never thought— [ She gives a shake of her head, the rest of her sentence obvious to her. I never thought I'd see her again; I never thought she'd grow so large. ] They'll each need their own rooms, soon.

An entire wing of wolves.

[wolfinthesnow]

[He just tilts his head]

Better than one of crows.

action;

[wont]

[ Her mouth threatens a petulant moue and then after a moment's hesitation, she gives his elbow the smallest of nudges. (Were it Robb she would have been far more bold.) ]

I did not ask for crows, Jon.

action;

[wolfinthesnow]

Funny, neither did I, and yet one still nests over my bed and demands corn.

action;

[wont]

[ Her smile returns. She even laughs. ]

Perhaps if you taught it a different word, you'd sleep much better.

action;

[wolfinthesnow]

[Now he's laughing]

It does know different words! It just chooses not to use them.

action;

[wont]

[ Loftily: ]

Perhaps if you fed it different words, it would like those words better.

action;

[wolfinthesnow]

I could feed it map, is what you suggest?

action;

[wont]

Well. Will you sleep better to the tune of 'map'?

action;

[wolfinthesnow]

I'll sleep better to the tune of crow for dinner.

[Ghost looks up at that - he definitely agrees]

action;

[wont]

[ Her expression grows petulant again. ]

You cannot eat a crow.

action;

[wolfinthesnow]

[He covers his mouth with his fist to hide the laughter]

You can, if you're hungry or irritated enough. But you cannot eat a crow if they wear black because they choose it.

[What is this punny brother, Sansa?]

action;

[wont]

[ Oh gods above, give her strength. ]

That's awful! [ It's unclear if she means eating a brother in black or just Jon's pun in general. ]

action;

[wolfinthesnow]

[He manages to stop laughing slightly]

Yes, you're right.
