[This place hasn't gotten any easier since she's appeared, only venturing and returning as she has to. She trusts very little, but having only seen a few people, none of whom recognize where she is from, Sansa thinks she needs to try a better angle. There are good people here; she has talked to a few already.

It doesn't mean opening herself up any easier. It is better to be in the shadows, a bastard girl in the background. No one notices her then, and she has used that skill here, too. To watch the device and learn who has appeared in the town. But when the long night comes, and she's scarcely seen a person in a few days, she must seek out distraction and advise.]

Many people seem to be getting locked out. It makes me more hesitant to leave the home I've found. I have not much, but I would not like to lose it either.

Someone has mentioned a camp though. [Although she wonders what will keep others from taking what is not theirs. Or worse.]

I am unsure where it is forming or how to get there. I am in the north, I believe, but I have traveled very little. I could make preserves if anyone has found any roots or berries, and I can sew.

[She just wants something to do.]

Yes - base camp. Alphonse suggested we all move southwest and establish camp there. If you keep traveling as far south and west as you can, you should be able to get there.

I haven't found any needles or thread, but you'll be the first person I'll tell if I do.

I know I am in the north. I fear I am much farther, and I do not know the way.

[She has also never traveled on her own, used to a large pack and often accompanied by guards and those seeking to protect her.]

I could make warmer cloaks. I do not have fur to line them, but it would be a start.

That's fine - anything is better than nothing.

Can you describe your surroundings? Some of us have traveled enough that we might be able to tell you where to go from there. I've been keeping track of my movements and what buildings I've come across.

In a church. There is a cemetery next to it. I traveled from a house and before that, the place where I arrived was a burned out house.

[She's around T7.]

Oh - @Chillinski has been there. They told me about it.

They said there's a house to the north with a working fireplace. East, there's another house. Lots of things meant for cats, I've been told, but I haven't seen it.

I would suggest starting south until you reach the wall, but it's up to you. You could see if anyone's nearby, ask for a travel companion.

I have spoken with him. [There's familiarity at least.]

Thank you. I may try and meet up with someone, to make the burden less. [And so she isn't an unarmed girl traveling alone.]

Are you versed well enough in those skills that you could perhaps teach them?

[Typing is still a bit unwieldy for Zelda, even if she now understands how it can be useful in masking things she would rather not broadcast to the others. This seems innocent enough, however.

She fears for her ability to keep going if she thinks too much about those who have fallen to the nightly storm, and so it goes unremarked upon.]

Gathering together seems as though it may be easier said than done, but such skills could be helpful, regardless.

I could, if others have need of it. [She is no seamstress, but she is good with her needle. It is something she could help, especially with blankets or warmer cloaks.]

I fear they are much farther away from me.

[And she does not know if she would last the journey on her own, especially with the others dying.]

I am afraid my own skills in that regard leave much to be desired. Simple patchwork is the extent of my ability.

[Perhaps if Ganondorf had not usurped the throne, she would be better at the more delicate crafts. But war demanded utility, and taking the time to sew up new clothes simply wasn't an option.]

I believe I am far to the south, unfortunately, and attempting to move north from my location has been... difficult, to put it lightly. But perhaps - unorthodox as it may be - you could offer lessons over this 'network', as it has been called?

I have not traveled much myself. [But now she must be brave and do so on her own. Robb is coming for her, and if he can do it, then she must.]

I can. I will start to look for supplies on my travels. [She nods a little happily, glad to be able to actually help.]

I am heading southwards myself, but I believe I am to the east. At least from what others have said. I still am unsure of where I am to be true.

I shall look forward to learning what I can.

[Zelda smiles a bit, happy to have lifted the spirits of this 'Alayne' even if it's only by a slight margin. A nod follows after.]

Few of our number have much idea where they are precisely, I imagine. I know I am at the southern edge because a massive wall blocks any further movement in that direction, but I otherwise have little reference as to how far east or west I am. My own caution has kept me from traveling very far each day, but I do not believe I wish to risk the alternative.

[She is Wisdom, not Courage, after all.]

I have only traveled twice, myself. I do not wish to be caught outside. [It is her own caution that makes her just as wary. As well as still being uncertain and distrusting of others who are here.

Traveling alone is another worry altogether, though she hopes that she may soon meet with her brother.]

I think I may head towards the camp. I do not know how south they are, but should it be possible, I shall try and look for you-- along the wall.

[She has no reason to trust this woman, but Zelda seems much like her, a dainty sort of nobility steeped in the culture of a highborn lady. Of course not all high born ladies can be trusted, something Sansa has already learned. But Zelda seems benign enough, interested in sewing.]

[Oh, Sansa, if only you knew. Zelda's smile widens with the prospect of finding another person - a girl that can't be that much younger than her, no less.]

I have a traveling companion - a man by the name of Lea. He is a tall one, with bright red hair. He may be easier to spot in the snow than I.

[And she doesn't seem injured or otherwise perturbed, so he has that going for him, at least.]

I shall hope to see you at the camp, if we should not meet before. Do you respond to Alayne?

Alayne is fine. [It is not wholly the truth, and certainly Robb will not like to hear it, but there is safety behind its name.]

I shall look for you then.

I understand wanting to stay in the place you've found, but if you're on your own, it may be safer to join a group, or to travel to camp.

[ Tinker Bell has been on her own before. It might feel safer to stay in a place she considers safe, but if she's only one person, the isolation will become worse than the threat of harm. ]

I am trying to find someone. I think he will meet me if he can.

[She prays Robb can find his way to her.]

If you have trouble getting to them, let me know. I have friends here, you could join us if you wanted to.

You are kind to offer.

Are you heading toward the camp as well?

That's the goal. Unfortunately, I have a friend who's struggling with all of this traveling around, and it's slow going anywhere. He needs to move at his own pace.

I am slow, too. I will head towards the southern most wall. Are you close to there?

Who mentioned the camp? Did you catch an ID?
