---a ring. I gave her a ring before I---
---does she have it?
[a bit of panic creeping in now, but it's a distant fear, and it's almost as if it belongs to someone else. which is funny. she doesn't mean to laugh, but it comes out anyway.]

...you did try, right?
[maybe it had been better with her gone? sansa and alayne are both expert liars, aren't they? this thought needles at her, and she can't quite let it go just yet. (one. two. three too many lies) a violent shake of her head as she reaches toward knight.]
