[Messages can travel faster than horses. Brienne wanted to bridge the gap between the news and her arrival as much as possible. The countryside was still healing after it's time of war and strife, it was safe to ride in armor and with sword. She rode as early as she was able to challenging the hours of sunlight. Her thighs, back and legs were sore and exhaustion provided dreamless sleep a few nights. In others she dreamed of flame red hair and clear blue eyes with a smiling face turned up ward to look at her. No matter how tongue tied Brienne knew she would be, she knew this was the right choice.
The large black and grey beast that has faithfully carried her for miles slowly paws the yard. Brienne dismounts and is well aware how her hair must be in a state, how the wind has reddened her face and chapped her lips. She still smiles, winded tired but happy. Somehow Brienne manages to make her gaze drop to the hem of Sansa's fine new clothe as she approaches and kneels as a knight should before a queen. The yard is no longer showing so many scars of the previous battles. The earth was tended, turned and has a light dusting of new fallen snow. Brienne left her white cloak at King's Landing, the bitter cold of the North still tries to dye her dark blue traveling cloak in powder white.]
I thought it best to come as soon as I was able to best please you, Your Grace.
