šŸ‚ autumn fades

WHO: Jon Snow
WHERE: 6I village, at Lucrezia’s Home
WHEN: 26 October
OPEN TO: All
WARNINGS: tbd



Jon had made a habit of going to see Lucrezia daily when he went to visit his family and when he didn’t see her for two days running, his heart sank like a stone. It wasn’t like her to be out often; she usually kept close to her home or to the inn and to not see her at all for two days meant that surely she must have gone.

The evening of the second day confirmed his suspicions completely. Her cat mewled and yowled, wandering about the steps and of Lucrezia’s porch seemingly in search of his mistress. It took Jon a moment to actually get the cat to come close to him but once he coaxed it near, he gathered him up into his arms.

ā€œBarnabus,ā€ Jon said quietly. ā€œI fear she’s gone and left us both. No amount of looking is going to bring her back to us, all right?ā€

When Ygritte had disappeared, Jon had searched for her in the woods for days and only when he’d exhausted every hollow and dale that he had declared her truly gone. When Arya had gone, heā€˜d done similar.

Now, though, he simply felt hollow and empty. He’d lost another person he had cared for in this place and there was no telling who might be next. Would it be his Lord Father? Would it be his sisters? His brother? Lyanna? Jon hoped not.

Armful of cat, he walked past the home his family lived in and down the road toward the inn. Possibly there was a bit of milk or something he might be able to give the cat so it would stop yowling for the time being.

"I know that, but it's difficult even knowing that. When I carried you, I felt as if we were connected. After every dark moment and every painful bit of news, I had you with me and it felt as if I were drawing strength from you. You were a part of me, a part of my heart. In coming here and seeing you grown, I have missed so much. It makes me feel...empty."

She shook her head, toying with the bow in her hands. "I don't know what I want or what will make it better. I thought distance might help heal some of that, but I don't know."

It would always be enough, even if her concerns and fears manifested, even when she didn't want them to. This was a strange place that rattled her outside of the age gap and apparent disregard for time. She still had yet to find her way in the village, let alone in her son's life.

"I'm glad." Just hearing that was comforting to her. There was a place for her with him, that meant more than anything else. "All I want is to try and know you better, to at least have some sort of relationship with you. I know Ned is important to you, but I hope that I can be as well."

It eased her heart to hear that and without a word, she reached out for him and wrapped her arms around Jon. She could never explain how precious he was to her, but she could try to show him in the days that followed.

She would make the effort to become closer to him.
