walking.

WHO: Sansa Stark
WHERE: Network
WHAT: This child is walking. Seriously.
WHEN: late April
WARNINGS: TBD


( Sansa uploads a short video to the network before she goes live - James has finally taken his first steps and she's so delighted to have caught it on camera. She knows there will be plenty more after this, of course, but she cannot be prouder. )

James is walking! I think his nameday is in a fortnight or so - it's hard to keep track - but he's started walking over the last few days and I wanted everyone to know.

( Sansa tucks her hair behind her ears and grins a bit. )

I also would like to ask if I could get someone to mind him for a night or two this week? Just for a few hours. I'd like some time to myself that isn't sleeping.

Perhaps. Though I’m certainly not remarkable among my kind as we Jedi care for our younglings as a community, whether we are male or female.

It pains me to hear thats not the case where you’re from. Does James not have a relationship with his own father?

[theladyofwinterfell]

No. His father would have wanted one but we weren't in a relationship back home, only here in this place. We don't know one another that way back in Westeros.

( And it would be far too difficult to explain that to Tyrion Lannister of all people. )

But for a time, James' father got to see him and be with him. Not nearly enough, no, but he was loved.

[hadthehighground]

Oh, I see.

[Well that's rather complicated, and a bit sad as well. It also made him wonder. Did that mean James didn't exist where she's from?]

Well, you and James are welcome to come to the temple any time. I think it would be good for him and the twins as they grow up to be around each other, and you will have our support as well.

[theladyofwinterfell]

I want to do that. I never dreamed he'd have other children to see growing up in this place.

( She'd thought herself the only one foolish enough to have a baby in this world but Padme had hers here, too, and she thinks they're both brave for it. )

I think it will be good for us all.

[hadthehighground]

[They are both brave women, Obi-Wan would agree with that. He didn’t really know Sansa all that well but he’s starting to like her already.]

I think so as well.

That being said, just let me know when you would like me to watch James.

[theladyofwinterfell]

I will. Thank you so very much for your offer. I appreciate it and am glad for it.
