I WILL NOT PUSH MY LUCK. I KNOW SOME OF YOUR CAPABILITIES.

VERY WELL. YOU MAY FIND ME AT MY HOME.

[ though really, he is rather embarrassed about this whole ordeal. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

Not all hope is lost for you, then.

Would you like me to bring anything over? Something from the market?

[bruxisms]

I WOULD NOT MIND SOME LEMONS, IF YOU CAN SPARE THE TIME.

[ he's going to need to drink a lot of lemon water for this. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

Lemons. Would you like me to bring things to make you lemon tea? Lemonade, if you're not in the mood for something hot?

[She'll just douse him with sugar. It's fine.]

[bruxisms]

LEMON TEA IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE. ONCE AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR THIS.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Don't thank me yet.

[There's a lecture coming with your tea, sir.]

[bruxisms]

I WILL THANK YOU, IF YOU ARE HONEST.

[ if it is something that he has not told himself, he will be surprised. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

I try to be.

[bruxisms]

I AM GLAD TO HEAR IT. THOUGH THE TRUTH MAY BE HARSH AT TIMES, IT MUST BE HEARD.

[ he knows what to expect. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

You're already doing better than Theon.

According to him, you and I have similar theories when it comes to multiple worlds.

[bruxisms]

THE BOY IS EXCEEDINGLY FRUSTRATED, AND SEEMS DETERMINED TO WASTE HIS SECOND CHANCE.

HE DOES NOT WISH TO ADMIT THAT WHAT IS PLAINLY BEFORE HIM, DESPITE THE EVIDENCE.

[ even Loras Tyrell cannot deny the truth of his words. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

[He's keeping her entertained while she heads out in search of lemons.]

Do you know what happened to Theon in your world? Jon told me some, but I don't know if your recollections align.

[bruxisms]

[ at least he entertains someone. ]

I DO.

JON SNOW REMEMBERS THINGS DIFFERENTLY, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTERS ARE MUCH THE SAME. ONE OF THE LAST MEMORIES I HAVE BEFORE THE STORM ARRIVED WAS HIM ARRIVING IN MY CAMP, WITH THE THEN-LORD COMMANDER'S YOUNGEST SISTER. NOT LADY SANSA, BUT LADY ARYA.

[nineteenfortyfive]

What was he like?

[bruxisms]

I SAW LITTLE OF HIM MY LADY BEFORE THE STORM HIT, BUT HE WAS NOT IN A GOOD STATE. HIS TEETH WERE CRACKED, HIS HAIR WHITE. HE WAS MISSING A NUMBER OF FINGERS.

THE BASTARD'S WORK, NO DOUBT.

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ.]

I see. Thank God he's only missing a bloody finger here, now.

[bruxisms]

IT WAS NOT A PLEASANT THING, TO BE SURE. BE THAT AS IT MAY, HE DID MANAGE TO DELIVER US THE YOUNGEST STARK GIRL SAFELY.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I assume you told him about this, and his appearance? And that's why he's so adamant everyone is telling him lies.

[bruxisms]

I DID NOT MENTION THAT, THOUGH I TOLD HIM OTHER THINGS.

HE IS CONVINCED THAT MY THEORY OF TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WESTEROS IS FALSE, YET I CAN THINK OF NO OTHER WAY TO EXPLAIN THE MANY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN JON SNOW'S MEMORIES AND MINE. AND I KNOW HIM TO BE A MAN OF HIS WORD.

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Yikes. She'll just file that information away for later.]

I agree with you. He's in denial. It's easier to believe everyone is a liar than face the truth.

[bruxisms]

[ it's really for the best, Claire. though he may very well say more to him. ]

AND YET, HE BELIEVED THE BASTARD TO BE A MAN OF HIS WORD, DESPITE ALL NOTIONS TO THE CONTRARY.

[ not that he's not doing this right now... ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

Ramsay preyed on a weakness he saw.

[bruxisms]

AND ALL PAID THE PRICE. IT IS A COMMON THEME WITH THEON, WHO SEEMS INTENT ON NOT LEARNING FROM AND OF HIS PAST ERRORS.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I can only hope this finally brought the lesson home.

[bruxisms]

WOULD THAT I HAD YOUR FAITH, MY LADY.

BE THAT AS IT MAY, OTHERS HAVE LEARNED MUCH FROM THIS.

[ at the very least, Stannis had. ]
