Val has never been good with dealing with emotions, especially emotions of others, but she reaches a hand out to squeeze Lyraโ€™s arm in what she hoped was a reassuring manner. โ€œI know youโ€™re scared. Trust meโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve been there before. But I will not give up until I find him โ€”โ€”

โ€”โ€” and bring him home. You have my word, Lyra. Just have a little faith in me?โ€
/ exactly what I was going for lol
// "wonder boy of the Nightโ€™s Watch" DEAD ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ now I'm picturing him as Hercules
Time to head back to the lands beyond the Wall and save Benjenโ€™s life. Again.

Is this the second or the third time now? She needs to start keeping track.
And Val is equally frustrated that Lyra isnโ€™t really listening to her. Itโ€™s not that she underestimates her abilities. Itโ€™s the fact that stories and actually being north of the Wall are two very different things. It would be a lot easier for Val to only have to look after โ€”โ€”

-- myself if I donโ€™t try.โ€ and honestly, what else is she going to do? sit around with a cup of tea? accept that she might lose him forever without her even trying to get him back? โ€“ she knows Ben would do anything to get her back if the roles were reversed.

โ€”โ€” you out there?โ€ She shook her head. โ€œHate me if you want, Iโ€™m just doing what Benjen would want. I know I can handle myself where Iโ€™m going because that is my home. Again, hate me if you need to, but Iโ€™m doing what I need to do to ensure you and Benjen come home in one โ€”โ€”

โ€”โ€” piece.โ€ She sighed, raising her arms in some kind of resigned shrug. โ€œGood luck with the search parties. I will check in with you personally when I can.โ€
/ if this isnโ€™t young val idk what is
I am not. Iโ€™m implying that itโ€™s incredibly dangerous, even for me. I just want to find Ben and bring him home. I canโ€™t lose you on the way or heโ€™ll never come back.
when I find Benjen, Iโ€™m gonna kill him for making me argue with Lyra.

โ€œYou donโ€™t know whatโ€™s north of the Wall until you lived there. Stories and myths and legendsโ€ฆ they all pale in comparison to the real thing.โ€ Val exhales a sigh, slowly loosening her clenched fists. Her eyes remained closed for a moment as she tried to keep calm. โ€”โ€”

-- boyfriend is first ranger and knows that place like the back of his hand and right now he's missing." "I don't care that it's dangerous. I just want Ben back. whatever it takes."

โ€”โ€” to tell Ben and he would never forgive me. Please.โ€ She met the others gaze, pleading. โ€œI am your best chance at finding him, but that chance diminishes with anyone I bring alone with me. Where I am going isnโ€™t safe, for anyone. Wildling or not. I canโ€™t let something bad โ€”โ€”

โ€”โ€” happen to you too. Iโ€™m not trying to be a hero or anything here. I just cannot let Ben lose you, too. Please, Lyra. I will bring him back to you. I swear it on all the gods, but I can only do this on my own.โ€
