[Firm, with an edge of steel behind it, like Joscelin. He holds her close, protective as much as consoling.]
No matter what happens, no matter who comes, you will never be alone. Not here. You are among friends. We will never let them hurt you and we will stand by your side against them. We will be your sword and shield, your honeyed diplomacy. We will not let you fall.
[ At other times, his words may warm her heart. But here and now she feels only pain, and fear. She is not brave- not like Robb or Arya had been. She chokes a sob back down. If nothing else, she can keep tears from spilling again.]
No, you musn't! It's too dangerous-- Robb stood against them, and-- you must not, if they come here. You are too dear to me.
[He blinks, briefly caught off guard, but he continues to talk, calm and inexorable.]
Did Robb believe how dangerous they are? How many did they have behind them? How many did he have? How many Travelers will stand with you, Sansa? We know you, not them. They will have no allies here. They will have no power here, no safe haven. I worked against treachery against my kingdom all of my life. I'll not let them harm you, Sansa. And neither will anyone else.
