( the second time that nuala addresses the ship as a whole, she is slightly more prepared - and she has a purpose to it beyond the greetings that, she will continue to hold, were in and of themselves a perfectly respectable goal.

cross-legged in the gardens, her sewing basket at her side, her hands neatly folded-- )

I have a request of those who man the smithy, and a boon to offer in return for seeing it done.

Thank you.

I am well-stocked for weapons, thank you, young one-- but I have need of needles and pins, for my sewing. Mine are quite beyond repair.

[He brightens a little at that.]

My sister had many needles for stitching and embroidery. If you have need of them, I could find them for you. She would want them to be shared and used, and not to sit idle.

What is it that you are sewing?

That is very good of you! ( one of nuada's starks-- the smile she favours him with is affectionate. ) I would be very pleased by that.

Garments, principally. For myself, and for others-- what have you need of?

( he's helping; he gets a reward. )

[He is quick to smile in turn, pleased by the smile that she gives him.]

Then they are yours. I will bring them to you whenever you like.

And I would not need repayment. They would be a gift. It would make my sister happy, I think, to know that they were used to make beautiful things. That would be enough.

( what a delightful child! nuala warms, tapping her finger against her chin in a show of thoughtfulness. )

And if, perhaps, I were to make a gift to you?

You wouldn't have to.

[His lady mother will surely be pleased by his generosity and humbleness--but beyond that, Bran is simply glad to help. And he is certain what he says is true: Sansa would want her needles to be used. The thought of his sister saddens him, but for now, only a little.]

But if you were to make a gift--I would ask if you could make a fine cloak, one worthy to serve as a prize for the winner of a tourney.

Then I shall, and it shall be a gift made in kindness, and not obligation. You have my word on that.

And you have my thanks, for your kindness.

I am Bran Stark. Where would you like your needles to be brought, my lady?

My kindness is yours to call upon as you will, young Stark, and I would be grateful if you would bring them here to me, in the gardens.

That will be easy. Summer loves the gardens.

[Oh, right--]

Summer is my direwolf. He will come with me, to bring your needles. He is very large, and he is not tame--but he will not harm you, either. Not unless you are a threat. But he will help me find you so you have your needles very quickly.

( pleased-- )

Then he is most welcome in my company, as are you.

I am glad.

We will be there very soon. Don't worry. Summer knows the gardens nearly better than anyone.
