The Chamber maid opens the door, and Arya steps in behind her, where she confronts the sight of Aerie Thatcher, sitting up straight in bed, her nightgown torn to shreds, her arms running with streaks of blood. Arya can still see the skin beneath Aerie's fingernails. The girl's hair is a skew, and she rocks back and forth, hugging herself. Her mouth open, as she screams, "...she's slipping away! Daddy she's slipping away, daddy she's slipping away, daddy she's slipping away, daddy she's slipping away... slipping away, she's slipping away, daddy she's slipping away, daddy SHE'S SLIPPING...SLIPPING AWAY!"

"Gods!" Arya cried and ran to Aerie, covering her with her shawl. "Fetch the maester if you haven't already! Someone needs to see to her cuts!" Arya's eyes brimmed with tears but she held back. "Aerie Aerie! I'm here, It's Arya, Aryanna, your best friend. Calm down." She sat beside her and hugged her. "Calm down." SHe repeated and tried to soothe her.

Eche was thus in this warld y-nome, With fairi thider ycome.

She's slipping away," Aerie replied, "daddy she's slipping away, AWAY, AWAY AWAY AWAY," Aerie began to shake, her hands pressed into fist, pummeling Aryanna's back.

"Ow! Aerie stop it! No one's slipping away!" She pressed Aerie's head into her chest, "I'm here and I'm holding on to you Aerie." Tears streamed down her face from the emotions and from the pain. "Stay with me and you'll be okay. Don't you remember me? Hold on to me."

When Arya lifted Aerie's face from her chest, she saw Aerie opening her mouth, and shutting it again, like a fish.

Ary sighed and lay Aerie out on the bed. She while she waited for the maester and the servant to return she wiped the blood off Aerie with a wet cloth from a nearby bowl. "I wish you'd just wake up. We all love you. I'll always be here for you." She dabbed Aerie's forehead and kissed her cheek.

"She talked, but I don't like this "slipping away" business. I don't know if she's referring to herself or not. The maester would know more about this, I've only learned things from the two of them from what they've told me. Yunici said that the last time she was with someone like this that they sometimes said things over and over." Arya sat beside Aerie as she lay and stroked her head and tried fixing up her hair.
