After all that, the woman once known as Blodwen Rowlands lives. Seeing her, Bran turns away, almost angrily, from the men and women fighting on the side of Light.

(I would have killed her. And murder is a sin, boy.)

(I wish you had. I wish I had.)

(Do not say that.)

(Oh, it is all right. I could not have killed her anyway. Immortal, and all that.)

Bran takes four steps towards the woman and stops, staring at her departing back.
