"My brother is likely busy," Sansa says. "He often escorts me here to Nocwich and then goes to visit his friends from other territories. It is relatively safe, after all, and I have others that I can go to if something happens. I shouldn't interrupt him, truly, because he gets so little time to see his friends from Solvunn and the Free Cities."

Sansa doesn't want to go either, even if she likely should. They will have a few days in Nocwich after all and she has occasionally stayed over in the town and not returned to Thorne after spending the day there.

"Provided I have an escort, I should be quite safe, and I appear to have one currently."
