[Westeros? Bert knows that place, it's Robb's home. And from what little he knows, he can be relatively confident that yes, this place is safer than there.]

Aye, m'lady, you're safe as houses, swear it on the face of my father. And my oath is a knight's oath, and a right honorable one at that. I've been here some time, I can answer what questions as have answers.

[A knight? That's comforting indeed.]

I thank you, ser, I will never forget this kindness. I hardly know where to begin. Do you know how I came to be here?

[The last thing she remembers is Robb's face, and the pain of being stabbed... she gasps and her hands move to feel her stomach. She is not bleeding, but the slight bump that had indicated the presence of a growing life is gone. It appears that while she was saved from death, her child was not. She struggles to maintain her composure.]

I think I was dead. How is this possible?

[ka_mai]

It's a power the people of this world have. I was snatched here from the grasp of death myself, brought after I'd fallen in battle. We've been given another chance, and there's plenty others like us.

[He offers her a fallen log to settle on, his voice soft and sympathetic. He knows well the pain of remembering one's own death.]

It's quite the long tale, and a tad bit confusing I'm afraid. There's a prophecy and a coming war and a lonely prince on who's shoulders a great deal rests. It's magic and incredible technology that's brought you here, for reasons no one can ken entirely.

[She hears the word 'war' and her stomach ties into knots. Wherever she'd been, death or oblivion or wherever, she had been at peace and free from that bloody war. Perhaps that was why she had been brought back, because of her skills with the battlefield healing.]

It sounds as if we have much in common, ser. I am grateful that you are here. Were you brought here alone, or are your loved ones here as well?
