( Sansa means it in many ways, both the obvious and not so obvious. Since she's relaxed and safe at the moment, she feels comfortable enough to discuss them more plainly than she might normally. )
People who care about me tend to die. People pretend to care about me and then deliver me into the hands of monsters. Westeros isn't like this place, Baby. In Westeros, the monsters always win. It's always a game and the other player is one step ahead of you - you don't have all the pieces to have a fair fight.
( She sighs a bit and tries to decide how to phrase the next bit. )
A man who told me that he'd protect me, a man who intimated to me that he had been a friend of my mother's? He sold me in a marriage to someone who humiliated me and brutalized me. That is what I am used to. It makes me cautious about trusting people because they'll turn. People aren't like that here, though. You're not like that. Kimberly isn't like that. I've never had that outside of my own family.
