Great things have small beginnings, it's true. Brienne must have been an adorable baby. All chubby cheeks and smiles, Frea's sure. Babies are some of Frea's favorite things, and so is Brienne.

There's so much still to see and do. More than either of them could manage in a lifetime. It'll be so much fun trying.

Thinking can be highly overrated at times like these. 'Like' can mean too many things. She'll have to wait until Brienne is sure. Certain and ready. She only hopes it won't take too long.

Staying afloat is a very desirable outcome in this situation, and she has no complaints. When Brienne's hair is somewhat tidy again she stretches her arms out in either direction, all innocence and vulnerability in Brienne's arms. She couldn't possibly be planning anything. "I guess you'll have to take a risk and hope you can hold on with just one arm."

She looks and sounds so innocent.

Too innocent.
