[ 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.

[ she nods her head in silence and after a moment ]

there was a girl once, from the North who thought her house a bore, she grew tired of the long, dark winters and wanted to go south and marry a prince and be a queen in the south where the air is warm. but her prince was not quite the songs and tales would make of him.

[ not at all. she tidies her skirts ]

My father is also gone and my mother and my brother and all I want now is to see Winterfell again and if I would, I would never once more think it dull or too cold. adventures are never quite what they seem to be, are they?

[Henry's quiet as she speaks, and it's not hard to put together that she's speaking of herself. He understands. He'd wanted to leave Storybrooke so bad, he'd wanted to break Regina's curse, and what had happened because of that one need to act out? He'd met Emma, yes, but his dad is dead, she's the Dark One now, and so many people have suffered, plain and simple.

But even now, he thinks, she sounds so sad, if he could give her Winterfell, he would. It's his heart, the truest believer, the most pure, and he can't help it even if his own life is upside down at the moment.]

'Be careful what you wish for.' That's advice I should have followed. But nothing can change the past. We just...we have to figure out a way to keep moving forward. I'll find your direwolf for you, so you have your piece of home back.

[He's determined now, already standing.]

[alayne]

You have my thanks.

[ even if he will not be the one to find lyanne, sansa knows effort and knows to appreciate it. it is so very rare in westeros. she smiles a little, inclines her head in gratitude. ]

Only be careful, do not venture too far.

[henrydaniel]

I will. And I'll message you if I find her and she's on her way back to you.

[With a small wave, he ends the feed, and goes to search.]
