Summary: Arya receives a letter from her sister regarding an annoying houseguest



The raven found its way to her boat. Arya read the missive from her sister, then sighed. It was nothing urgent, nothing that Sansa couldn't solve on her own if she used a little common sense and ingenuity. The letter read:

Sister,

I hope this finds you well and in good spirits. I am the former, but not the latter, for you see, Theon's sister, Yara has graced us with her presence for the last fortnight and she has done nothing but complain about the cold, as though she has never sailed anywhere outside of the Six Kingdoms before. I have had servants attend to her with hot baths, more blankets for her beds and wood for the fire in her room, and liberal amounts of a drink that visitors have assured me will light a fire in the belly. Nothing works. I do not know how she garners the respect of her crew with her incessant complaining. Perhaps there is some seafaring remedy that I have not yet tried. If you know of one, please let me know.

Sansa


Arya had met Yara Greyjoy before. She was honestly surprised that Sansa had missed the not-so-subtle signals that Yara was throwing her way. Picking up a quill, Arya wrote a letter in return.

Sister,

The best way I've heard to warm someone is with body heat. Perhaps a bit of personal attention will help the complaining to cease.

Arya


Several days later, Arya received another raven. This time the letter was in an unfamiliar hand.

Arya,

Many thanks for your assistance. I believe your sister will find me a very accommodating houseguest from now on. House Stark and House Greyjoy are on the way to a new alliance.

Wishing you calm waters and smooth sailing,

Yara Greyjoy
