the pack survives (caves - during the calibrations)
WHO: Sansa Stark
WHERE: the Caves
WHAT: mourning and trying to have a stiff upper lip about it
WHEN: 6/17 - 6/30
WARNINGS: sadness.
Every morning after calibrations were over, the first thing Sansa did was clutch James into her arms and hold him tight. She counts all his fingers and all his toes and she holds him as close as she dares without making him squirm and then nurses him. Usually at some point, Tyrion comes in and says good morning to her, wanting to get this early time with James before they have to deal with everyone else in the caves and be in a good mood.
Today, he doesn't come.
Sansa doesn't think much of it while she gets James pinned into a fresh diaper and goes to where Tyrion's room is. She doesn't see him there and she doesn't see his effects, either - there's not even a golden hair on the pillowcase. She looks around the caves, more and more frantic, and then she realizes what has happened. The Agrii, whom she's always thought kinder and more benevolent than the Atroma they used to live under, have taken Tyrion. She knows he must go back to do great things, same as she had to, but it isn't the same. It isn't fair.
Sansa finds a place that is slightly tucked away to sit in silence. She was off cavorting in other peoples' memories and her own family has been taken from her again. She's never wanted anything more than to just be happy and it seems her life isn't where happiness will come. She hasn't seen her in years and can barely remember the sound of her voice or the tender touch of her hands but she wants her mother. Sansa knows that James needs his mother, though, so she just holds him as tight as she dares. "Not you. Never you. You'll never lose me. I'll follow you to the ends of the earth and back, little wolf." James cries a little, not wanting to be held so tightly at the moment, but Sansa doesn't care.
"I love you so much, my darling."

When he does come back, it's with two mugs of what passes for coffee, as well as something to eat, even if it is just the stupid protein gel. Sansa's going to need to eat, and he suspects she hasn't yet prioritized it this morning. "We'll make a plan. Someone can stick with you. Steve and I don't sleep much."
He wants to tell her it'll be all right, but he doesn't want to lie. Still, his eyes are soft as he holds out the mug first, not sure if she's going to want to keep ahold of James or not. He's happy to take the little boy while she eats and drinks, but he can't blame her for not even wanting to let her son that far away.

"Here, hold your namesake. He's a little squirmy this morning because I've been holding him too tightly. I just didn't want to let him go. Not yet. But if you're right here and I can see him, that will be all right."
