"I will be ready." She tells him with a nod before turning away and heading inside before he can see the satisfied look on her face at the agreement.

It didn't surprise her that it proved to be as hard as it did to convince Jon to let her go but, ultimately, she succeeded. He couldn't deny the fact that the Men of the Vale had helped to win the battle and the fact that the House of Stark would continue to need their support as well as their allegiance. She promised him that she wouldn't be gone for that long either. That she would be back before the snow got to be too deep.

So by morning, she was ready to go. She was relieved when they were given a carriage even though she had made the ride on a horse before. Settling into her seat, she ignored the concerned look from Brienne while she waited for Petyr's appearance.
