i see we're making these visits a weekly ritual

[wolfchild]

CHARACTERS: emotionally stunted children
LOCATION: arya + bran's room
WARNINGS: none whatsoever, they are so sweet and well-behaved.
SUMMARY: in which arya and gendry have a horrendously public breakup on the quad. again.

[ she has barely left her room. arya refuses to go to the medbay, no matter how awful she feels. she hates it, hates being prodded and questioning. unfortunately, she cannot go very far. arya is reliant on bran, another thing she hates. not because of bran, but because she despises feeling so weak. there is little for arya to do except sit with nymeria, her blanket tucked around her, and think.

a pity her head is not the best place to be.

gendry has come by almost every day. he looks like he's dying, though he'll never admit to feeling ill. arya knows him so she never asks. instead, she remembers and she's confused and her headache gets worse and her stomach churns and arya doesn't know if she wants to be sick or kick him out.

after too many days spent the same way, she lifts her head from where she had been supporting it on her hand. her eyes are dark and focused. ]

Why did you tell Jon that?

[ non sequitur is an art form. ]
