[Sasan]

Instinct for survival had not led him to the boy, it was something more. Trudging through the thickening snow, Sasan paid little heed to the sound of footfalls behind him. Despite Arryn's incessant calls, Sasan knew Sebastian better than anyone, and simply knew he was on the right path.

It took some time to find him, but once he saw Sebastian trot across the clearing ahead, Sasan's adrenaline took over. Yet before he could catch up, the kid was gone, chasing some strange creature into a cave with a carefree smile.

Following warily behind, Sasan came upon Seb crouching over what seemed to be a nest of the creatures. They had formed something of a protective circle around the boy, but he would not be deterred. He grasped Sebastian by the shoulder and turned him around.
