( Sansa gives him a quick nod before going to investigate the Blood and Breakfast. She doesn't know much about restaurants but she does know quite a bit about supplies and how to ration them. Sabotaging supplies is something quite serious in Winterfell where it not only costs gold, it costs lives.
She starts here, both literally and figuratively beneath the salt, and sifts a bit through her fingers. It's a coarse grain, much different than the fineness of sugar. Based on the trails of sugar and salt entwined upon the floor of the storeroom, it seems someone must have dragged the salt over and poured it quite hastily into the vacated sugar bags. Two people, perhaps, and not just one. The sugar seems gone entirely - will it perhaps be found in The Last Meal? Sansa wonders. Once she's satisfied with the evidence, she decides to talk to the people involved. She begins with Laney. The landen woman explains she'd only noticed the difference after sending one of her employees down to haul sugar into the kitchens; only in bright light was the swap sussed out. Querying the boy who'd fetched the sugar yielded nothing but some mumbling about how the latch to the storeroom was undone but that this wasn't uncommon.
Sansa looks about and finds a window pushed up a bit in the rear of the kitchens. She asks who might have done that and no one seems to know. Hmm. How could they not know, with the window in plain sight of all who would be cooking? Unless they weren't in the kitchen cooking when the swap happened. If they were, perhaps, sabotaging across the street - well, she'll have to discuss it with Tyrion. She thanks everyone for their time and goes back out into the street to await Tyrion and his judgment. )
so sorry for the tl; dr
