[There's no real way to convey her thoughts, but she is thinking, isn't every tree special? And if she could, she'd remind Sansa that sometimes trees all in themselves are a home to birds or squirrels, or a resting place for them, or they might even shade a weary traveler. That some trees are selected for firewood and to make homes, and so even something as insignificant seeming as a tree holds so much purpose. Even if all a tree does is flower or bloom, and little else, if someone grows fond of that tree, it's brought a little more meaning into the world.
But there's nothing wrong with the girl's answer; she understands that she means it's a tree like any other. Wolf's ears stay pricked on Sansa in attentive interest, having little other way to ask her to continue, but she's definitely curious. She wonders if the name "Godswood" is self-explanatory, and if gods lived, or roamed, or visited there.
Maybe the Godswood itself had a tree or two Sansa was partial to? She's seen this happen, like how people favor only certain people, and sometimes animals, they're also inexplicably drawn to a certain tree at times.]
i'm so sorry you had to wait for this tag for so long!! thank you for your patience ;u;
[ she has never been inclined to think that way — considering things that she sees as natural something special; of course a tree would be a home for a bird or a squirrel, it was how things were. but being brought here to this strange world had already taught her new things... perhaps this would teach her, too.
as it is, Sansa seems to realize her words must mean little, and she breathes out a soft laugh, ducks her head. ]
Forgive me, that must not mean much to you. Godswood, that is. It is a sacred place, one of worship, dedicated to the Old Gods.. and at the heart of each is a tree, one we call a heart tree. This one reminds me of it, though it doesn't have a face on it.
