[ she doesn't really expect anything but an affirmative, and so Sansa enters the room even before Claire can confirm it: normally, she would wait, out of the politeness that has been instilled in her since childhood, but today, after the visit to Thesa, she doesn't really feel like being alone in the house, what with Jon in Wyver and all. ]
