Who: Sansa Stark, any other questers
When: July
Where: Thorne stables
What: taming horses, talking with those who have rounded them up
Warnings: n/a



In the upheaval of Thorne, a great many things had happened and there are few of them that Sansa can affect on her own. What she can do, however, is help the people of Thorne and Nott and when there is need of people to tame horses in the stables, she decides that she will do so. She knows very little of the taming and gentling of horses. She had always been a highborn girl and the only thing she'd done with horses was ride them (ill at ease, to speak of that) but she doesn't think she can do much harm if she helps someone who does have the experience.

She dresses in simple clothes of her own making - sturdy but unadorned - and goes to the stables to meet with the stableboys in charge of receiving the horses that have been brought in from the wilds. The stableboy she meets with is called Eric and it feels like such a Northern name that it brings pangs of homesickness that hit her in waves.

She focuses herself, steadies, and busies herself with speaking sweet words to the horses as they come in while letting the saddles sit upon their backs and then, after a time, strapping them.
