And just like that, her glass is full again. So much for leaving.
Which leaves her no choice but to listen to Eponine prattle on about her life and her romantic affairs; the other woman doesn't seem to mind pouring her heart out to a complete stranger, shameless and... admirable in her own sort of way. And while jealousy twists Jeyne's heart in knots, she also feels it go out for this girl, so she decides to hear her out instead of simply getting up and walking away. How awful, to be so rarely happy, to be just another face in the crowd, to be sickly and poor.
She tries not to show recognition at what she hears next. Ghost, Jon Snow; they've never met, but she knows of them, having been told many stories about them by Robb. Ser, a knight; yes, just like her brother, Raynald. Oh, she hopes Raynald had survivedβ
Even those of us who have felt its icy touch. Us. This girl had been dead, too? Is this what this place is, a refuge for those who have fallen, who have been slain? It would explain why Robb would be here, too. "I see. We are in a most curious place, it seems... but that is good to know. I have had enough of war." And death. She can ignore the thought of her own death, but that of her child, their child? It's still so raw.
And she's not sure she should be asking, but she does, anyway: "What is your name, my Lady?"
