[meant]

You are mistaken. I am Alayne.

( a slight hesitation, but it is never enough for suspicion. she is learning. she must be alayne, inside and out, because sansa stark is dead and gone. it is the only way. whatever scruples she might have, or might have held in the past, it is all inconsequential now. )

I have always been Alayne.

[bereth]

( said in a soft, floating voice: ) A name can mean many things. And some things - some people - can have many names.

[meant]

There are some lord and ladies that do. But I'm only a Stone, and one is good enough for me.

( a bastard. she's stopped protesting it, stopped thinking of herself as a stark of winterfell, stopped wanting to proclaim her birth every time it was called into question. it's for the better, really. )

SUP SISTER FROM THE SAME MISTER --

[kindlymeant]

[A knowing look, because if anyone understands, surely it is her.]

A mountain's daughter. [ - Stone, that is, once wolf and now mockingbird, amiable little mockingbird.]

AWW YEAH. SUP, FELLOW ~NATURAL BORN DAUGHTER

[meant]

Yes.

( she's been many things. a lady, a pretty little bird from the summer isles. a wolf girl. a wife. a pawn. and now a mockingbird's daughter.

there are worse things to be. )

My mundane would have me question it, but I do not.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[She knows this girl with lighter hair and a brighter expression, and she w ants to say so, to tell her that she is silly and stupid Sansa, not Alayne.

But she isn't Arya any longer, she's no one, and the night wolf, and she can't recognize another girl's sister.]

They make a lot of mistakes.
