DVD commentary ask for neon rain please! (can’t fit the whole scene but jon’s scheme with sam and how he proves they’re soulmates)

“Sure-“ Sansa told him absently, pulling one of the holoscreens over and groaning as she saw the data flickering, “Arya- are you working with some kind of dampener again?” It would be just their luck that a stray dampener in the shop would inhibit her access to the central system just when she needed it.“What are you talking about?” Arya asked, her head popping up from under the car she was working on. Her short hair was in two high, spiky pigtails, and swished around as she turned to look at Sansa in confusion.“Oh- that may be me.” Sam said, looking rather embarrassed and patting his jacket. “Oh- I’m sorry- I keep one with me when I’m working with patients to keep the recorders from picking up confidential information, and I must have forgotten to leave it in the office.”“No problem.” Sansa smiled at him, relieved that she wouldn’t have to go and hunt down the source of the problem later. “We can easily go old school- my dad always liked having the option, so I can write one for you”

Ooooh this is a fun one! SO sorry it's getting answered so late- I'm a disaster.

This is kind of a big mistake on Sansa's part, here. She knows she met her soulmate, that he's looking for her (either because he wants a relationship or wants to put her in prison for grand theft) and that her handwriting could give her away. And yet, she gives it to Sam without any suspicion. It's partially justified, in that it would be really unusual for someone as wealthy as Jon's family to show up at a shop on the lower levels, but it's mostly a case of Sansa drastically misjudging who Jon is. She doesn't really know anything about him and assumes that he's just another rich club kid with more money than brains. She also really hasn't let herself process the idea of having a soulmate yet, and I don't think has really grasped the extent that Jon is willing to go to in order to find her. She hasn't looked into him the way her siblings have- she's afraid he's just going to be another Joffrey.

And then Sam stumbles into their shop, trips over like, three different things, and , because of that, immediately endears himself to both Stark girls. He's probably giving off slightly nervous energy that both Sansa and Arya attribute to just being a mid-level kid nervous to be down on the lower levels. He's definitely not as smooth as Jon would want, but they don't really suspect anything because he doesn't really read 'skylight kid' to either of the girls and their guard is down.

Sam, as one of Jon's closest friends, of course, is the only person who knows the actual story behind how Jon met his soulmate. Sam probably thinks Jon's being a bit dense, doing all of this reconnaissance work instead of just talking to her (for god's sake), but he and Jon have been ride or die for each other since high school and so he agrees to the plan. (I think the hoverboard is actually intended to be a gift for Rhae, so once Jon figured out where the Stark shop was, he needled Sam into taking it). Their plan also, unknowingly, plays into Sansa's nostalgia- Ned liked having physical copies of things, and she's genuinely glad to write the invoice out for him when the issue of his medical dampener (it seems like doctors in this verse would HAVE to have something like this for privacy, given all the tech).

I think Robb might have picked up on how writing the invoice (and giving this guy they had just met a handwriting sample) was a bad idea more quickly than Sansa or Arya- he's the strategist/mastermind behind most of their heists, and is wildly protective of his siblings. The girls aren't nearly as paranoid, especially given how nice Sam seems, and given that Sansa's got two jobs (plus heists) and Arya's doing an apprenticeship in addition to working at the shop (and heists also), they've both probably been sleep deprived for like, five years.

Sam, bless him, expected WAY more resistance to the idea of giving a handwriting sample. He's absolutely baffled when Sansa offers to give him one of her own volition, but is probably glad for it, because she seems nice and he still thinks that Jon is a dumbass for not just like, talking to her. Of course, as soon as Jon confirms that it's Sansa's handwriting (he's probably sitting a few blocks over and trying to be inconspicuous but is too broody to pull it off), he wants to go right in and do The Reveal. He's smart enough to come up with this whole verification scheme, but impatient enough about wanting to meet Sansa that he's metaphorically already picking out wedding colors. The boy has some emotional baggage around the idea of soulmates- we'll get into it eventually. Basically, he really wants to get to know Sansa, and he's intelligent, but impatient).

Thanks so much for the ask!! This was fun (if very late- I am so sorry) and I hope it was what you were hoping for!
