[When he'd first arrived, Toph made no apparent effort to seek him out. Maybe it's to give him time to settle in or maybe she just didn't see the point from their one and only conversation.

Either way, she's passing by now, and she stops to lean against the wall, not looking at him.]

Do you believe me now, Pantaloons?

[Now he doesn't have a black box to tuck away whenever someone is aggravating him. He actually does not recognize her at first but the voice is enough to make him frown.]

I am in no mood for a discussion like this, my lady.

[bolder]

Too bad, it's going to happen.

[He probably doesn't know she's blind, so she'll keep facing away from him, for his sake.]

I don't know what the heck happens for all of you back home, but I'm guessing it sucks. But that's no reason to lash out at people trying to help. [She damn well means herself.]

Right now, I can take or leave your presence on this ship, but you're Bran's brother and you mean a lot to him. That's why you're here. He's a good friend of mine, so we should try to get along for his sake.

Are you going to disagree?

[kingofbadlifechoices]

I do not think it will happen now, my lady.

[Robb can be awfully stubborn about everything, Toph.]

It will happen later. [The tone of his voice is a strict one, as usual.] This evening, mayhaps. [But, gods, when does evening start in space?] Not now.

[Really, he understands where she is getting to but this is not the right time. He is on the verge of crying.]

If you will excuse me.

[Robb nods curtly before he turns, rubbing his eyes furiously as he does.]

[Toph emits what may as well be a low growl. She's really trying to be civil, but this guy is testing her patience.]

No, I won't excuse you. You've been nothing but rude to me since we first spoke, and I've been trying to help the whole time. Did you know it was my idea to get room for you here, too? We planned for just Sansa until I brought it up!

[This isn't how she wanted to get his attention, not by a long shot. She can tell he's upset, almost to tears, but she can't see it. In her mind, that's enough reason for him to suck it up.]

The least you can do is turn to face me like a noble, not run away like a child.

[This is a conversation Robb does not want to have here and now. The reunion with his siblings had been an overly emotional thing. Probably even more than he could anticipate. He had missed them so, he had deemed them dead and gone.

Of course he owed the small, screaming girl some gratitude and he is willing to give that. But not now. Gods, he wishes he could shut her out.]

You are in no place to decide what I will or what I will not do.

[Robb does turn towards her. Is the girl blind? If not she is at least bloody deaf.]

As I said, I am willing to talk to you but not now. What in seven hells is so difficult to understand about that?

[bolder]

And you are in no place to try to avoid me! [Which was true. With her bending, Toph is constantly aware of every nook and cranny of her new home, as well as everyone who steps on to it when she's present. She won't elaborate just yet, but she's sure he'll learn soon enough.]

Nothing's difficult about it, I just don't care about your tantrums right now.

[When he faces her, he should easily tell that while her eyes are narrowed, they aren't focused at all. Why yes, she is blind.]

I don't need a lengthy heart to heart, that would be pointless. I just want to know if you're willing to stop being a complete tool to the people trying to help!

[kingofbadlifechoices]

I am not avoiding you! [It takes all the willpower in the world to swallow away an unhealthy string of curses after that sentence.] Have you listened to the bloody words I’ve said?! [Robb is no fan of crying in public and he is even less of a fan of someone walking into him crying and starting some sort of argument.]

I have not heard anything of your help in this. If it is so you have my thanks, my lady.

[To be fair, he is seething with anger now, hands clenched to fists. Yet he manages to let his voice sound strict and a little formal. As if he is addressing his men after they made a mess of it on the battlefield.]

I do not care for your tantrums either. Thus, let us end it here.

[She is blind, he can see it now. Yet, that does not change anything. After a short nod he turns and walks off, deeming the conversation a finished one. Seeing his siblings and knowing they are alive has made him more emotional than he thought he’d be.]
