The constant glances to the door were testing the limits of the others. He could sense them trying to figure out why he was so tense. Like there was any chance telling them. I just expect to see the unfulfilled love of my life after so many weeks apart. Oh, and by the way she is my sister. What better topic to break the ice?
Everyone in this room were in silence mode. Needless to say he didn't care very much about them right now. Only about if she would come to this meeting. Suddenly, the big doors opened and Brienne entered the room. His heart sank from the disappointment but he managed to hide it effectively.
"Lady Brienne, Lady Sansa couldn't make it to the meeting?" ser Davos asked in total reflection of his master's thoughts. Ser Davos was the only one who knew the depth of his feelings for Sansa. He noticed the look he gave to Tyrion, when he asked about Sansa, or the way he almost choke Theon when he spoke of her name. That man is much more perceptive than he is giving him credit for.
"My Lady decided to stay at Winterfell, to handle problems that occurred at the last moment. She send me as her envoy".
He thought she would want to see him. Clearly he was wrong. Maybe he had underestimated the connection between them. What problems could possibly keep her away from this chance to reunite? He was ready to ask Brienne when Deanerys stand up and addressed the real problem. Devastated he turned his attention to where was needed.
