Sansa, along with Adriana, had been staying there—and now, Jessica Thivenin had joined them not long ago.
Rain fell often, so the trio found shelter inside the tree, which resembled a natural cave.

No one could say for sure.
"Princess… staying out in the rain like this isn't good for you…"
"It's fine, Jessica. I like the feeling of rain soaking through me."
Jessica called out to her from inside the tree.
She had tried several times to convince Sansa to come in—but the princess refused.
