[ it's been a long time, months and months, since sansa had addressed wonderland. many moon cycles came and gone and people has well. today finds her in silks the color of the bluest skies and her hair in an elaborated braid that might remind some of a departed queen whose hair was silver. ]

Good people of Wonderland, I hope today finds you well.

[ formal and perhaps distanced, too. sansa had kept to her chambers for days on end, had not traded words with anyone. the stings were perhaps a bit too much. she had given herself some time to collect herself again and when the need came.

well, there she is. ]

Many people came and gone from this Wonderland of ours and I am missing a companion of my own. A direwolf named Lyanne I have sent to search for some friends that I have found - have departed from among us and were sent free.

[ her voice doesn't quiver, she tidies her gown and speaks again ]

She is highly likely still searching yet I must request that if you happen upon her, you shall tell her to find me. She is a direwolf of the north, larger than a wolf and smaller than a bear, her eyes are golden and her coat is that of grey for.

[ a beat and ]

And I am Lady Sansa of House Stark.

Oh - I did hear about that. I only got here in February, though, so I wasn't given one.

[ Lucky, lucky. She smiles softly. ]

Why were they given out, do you know?

I would not wish for you to receive one. They may only come again next winter and I would wish to be free of this place by then.

[ though sansa has been here for over a year without going back, she is one of those who do not very much long for their realm, not truly. she doubts anyway truly pines for westeros. ]

some said it was a kindness.

[ she doubts it, of course ]

even caged birds need playthings lest they wilt away.

[ It's depressing, morbid, but she's right. They're easier to manage if they're pacified, she images. ]

Who was it that gave them to you? The... Duchess, I guess?

[ Not the Queen of Hearts when she creates their nasty opposites, surely. ]

I do not know. One moment they were there and the next, they were not.

[ ample reason not to trust them but sansa had been lonely and desperate and those oft lead people to either madness or foolishness. still, this bit of foolishness had given her lyanne, had it not?

has wonderland saw it fit to take her direwolf back? ]

I've spoken to the Duchess, once.

[ More magic. Wonderland is full of it; she needs no further explanation.

Though... ]

Have you? [ She doesn't mean to pry, but... she hasn't met the woman (?) herself, and any information about their potential captors could be useful. ] What, ah... was she like?

Once, before she had made the mansion's residents to think they are people of my own realm. She sat on a throne of my realm, I reckon it is why she'd spoken to me. She was - fond of compliments and her mood changed quickly.

[ and in all honesty, sansa thought her half mad which is no surprise considering the nature of wonderland ]

[ Hahh. Sounds pretty typical of a ruler, and, if what she's heard is true, of Wonderland. ]

Has she hurt anyone?

I do not reckon so, not in that time.

[ she hurt sansa, of course but not physically, not in any way that can be seen above surface. seeing stark banners had uplifted her spirits and saddened her, seeing the red and golden lion had made her dig her nails into her palms, create little half-moons on the palm there. ]

she seemed capricious.

I can imagine.

[ And scheming and not at all as she appears to be, Snow imagines. ]

... I won't take any more of your time, Sansa. I hope that you're able to find your direwolf soon.
