[He hadn't thought about it before, but Sansa had to miss having someone around similar to her mother. For so long, she had suffered and struggled on her own, used as a tool for the men around her. Even with Arya, she didn't have someone that understood her and shared her interests. Claire was perhaps the first person since Margaery Tyrell that she could feel was like family.]
Aye, I imagine so. You can talk to Sansa about the things that are lost on me. [He really doesn't notice the details in her dresses or a new hairstyle.] Now that Robb is gone, I think she worries about what will happen if father or I disappear.
[There's a small nod of understanding from Claire. Of course. She wishes she could say they won't go back to stasis, but she can't with any certainty. She never thought Jamie would go, nor herself. But she can promise something.]
[He's grateful for that, but there was never any question in his mind. Claire was kind hearted in the same way Sansa was. Sansa had reached out and invited Claire to stay with them, if the worst should happen and Sansa was left alone, Claire would look after her.]
There's someone you should be on guard of. Has Sansa told you about Ramsay Bolton?
[His hands grip together, remembering how Ramsay had grabbed her arm and left a mark on her. Gods, he should have found a way to kill him before he could have emerged from the pod.]
I think he has been calling himself another name. Not many know what he looks like or who he is. There is only one person from our world I haven't met yet and it's Willem Rivers. I have never heard of him and everything about him doesn't seem right.
Aye, that is the story he was telling. He said he was a bastard and his mother was a servant to Walder Frey. She apparently educated him.
[Jon nearly snorts in derision.]
Walder Frey was not a man to let his servants be educated. He didn't care for any of that.
I never met "Willem" and he never came to pay respects to Sansa, the last of the Tully bloodline, his liege lord. It's because "Willem" doesn't exist. He's a Northerner and a kinslayer.
That little bastard. [Not in the birthright sense, just in the personality sense. And he is little. Claire has to look aside, calm herself, and not vomit right now. Not in front of Jon, anyway.]
He must have been having a jolly good time parading about like that.

[Claire looks surprised.]
When Sansa was ill she was in a panic over... her husband, she said. I haven't asked her about it since. I thought he was in stasis.

I know him. I met him when there was that beach party--
[She'd helped him put sun screen on. She can feel her stomach clench.]
He said he was a farmer.

He didn't hurt you, at least.
