Huh? [You is clearly not expecting Sansa to pick up on what's going on, much less react like that. She reacts instinctively, shying away slightly as Sansa approaches, but not enough to avoid the touch to her hand. Her one good hand, Sansa may also notice, as the other is bandaged up.] N-no, it's okay, I'm-- I'm fine!

I just kind of, uh, fell down a big hill and got banged up, you know? It's nothing to worry about, Sansa!

[It is a bold lie, and You has never been a good liar under the best of circumstances, which this is not.]

[unprays]

[ at this point, she has seen too many friends look like this — knows all too well the reason for it. there's a painful tugging in her heart when You tries her best to lie, but her lie is so transparent it's almost sad. you would not have lasted a day in King's Landing, she thinks, but I pray you last longer here. ]

You. [ gentle, but firm. ] Please, you don't need to lie to me. But we don't have to talk about it, if you don't want to. Just... let me help you. You're here for something, right?

[ayes]

[You obviously bites her lip, looking away from Sansa and not sure how to react to being so blatantly called out on her lie. She shifts uneasily from foot to foot.] I. ...I was out to get some groceries. That's all. [She says, quietly. Because she can't talk about the rest yet.] I can do it on my own. You don't need to worry about me, okay?

[unprays]

[ it's clear that You isn't accustomed to this, any of this, and so Sansa offers her a smile that seems entirely genuine before declaring in a tone that aims for cheerfulness, ]

Really? What a coincidence! I need to get some, too. Would you walk with me?

[ said like You had never even asked her not to worry, like they'd never talked about anything else at all. ]

[ayes]

Ah, um. [Well damn. Sansa has expertly blunted You's oh-so-clever ruse to get out of having to be around people, and it's clear that the girl has no idea how to get her way out of this. She doesn't want to be around anyone right now. It's hard. But she also can't figure out a way to reject Sansa's kind, gentle demand. You squirms where she stands.] Uh... yeah, sure, i-if it's not like, an inconvenience or anything.
