Well, I can appreciate someone who speaks plainly. I am trained in courtly courtesies, naturally, but in the North we respect those who speak the truth without ornament. I could never be offended by someone who wants to spend more time dedicated to her craft than talking around it.

( Sometimes Sansa wishes she had the courage to do the same but she'd been reared too gently and coaxed into being a little bird who always says the right thing to do anything but be careful with her words and mind how she uses them and to what effect. )
