Winters doesn't mind the flinching! He'll explain that the scales are from dying too many times. Sometimes you don't come back quite right, but it's not contagious.

As for her questions: "The supplies come in the same way you lot got here: On the ferry. Beyond that, I can't say. If you figure it out, let me know, yeah? One thing I can tell you is that we're the only settlement left in this world. Only other folks you'll meet will come in on the future ferries, or they're already here."

And yes, he can tell her about the post office!

Would Winters' advice change Brienne's plan at all?
