I'm never allowed to ask for anything, if you recall. Being a queen means having your strength sapped away by everyone else without anyone else to give it back to you. It does for me, at least, because I rule alone with a very small council - and my council is certainly not holding me because I had a bad day or tending to me because stress has given me a terrible headache.

( Sansa doesn't know if this is the answer he is seeking but she feels the need to tell it to him anyway since they are talking about whether or not she's allowed to be needy. )

Since you are not in a position to attend to me at the moment, I think it would be selfish to ask for it even if I would like to have it.
