[She nods along. It sounded like friendship when Margaery mentioned it. She looks more sympathetic as he continues.] Betrayal's hard. Hardest there is maybe. [Since it really isn't betrayal unless there's trust and vulnerability first. For her it was her husband.] Depending on how it goes down.

Jon seems nice though. He was hoping for a sword when he showed up too. [She could see what Robb had been eyeing there. She only nods again to his condolences.] I lost them a long time ago. [Seven years. Maybe not so long, but they were intense years. She feels like she's lived the lives of at least two twenty-year-olds.]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

That is true. It leaves you with questions about the why of it and the how. [Robb shrugs in a bit of an unhappy way.] Mayhaps I should have seen it coming, or I have turned a blind eye every time I might know of it. [He thinks of Theon.] In this case...I should have known...

[He sighs deeply, still not entirely sure how to judge this situation.]

Jon has a good heart. [A true Stark.] I am glad I can call him my brother. [He pauses, listening to her words and nods when she is finished.]

I have lost my father a year ago. [The smile around his lips becomes a bitter one.] They blamed him for the death of the king. [Eddard Stark had been foolish enough to confess to a bloody lie.]

[passingthrough]

I know exactly what you mean. [She knows there were signs now looking back. How many did she miss and how many did she overlook because she didn't want to see them? She gives him a soft commiseratory sort of look.]

I'm sorry about your father. You don't believe he was to blame? [It doesn't matter to her one way or another. Losing people—family—is just hard.]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb merely nods at her reply and turns to look in front of him again, thinking of Theon. He hates how everything has changed into something awful and unrecognizable but then again, he cannot make it better either. Not even 10 million crowns and titles.]

No, he does not. My father would never kill a friend. It is just a bloody lie whispered into everyone’s ears by the Lannisters. [When saying that his voice sounds harsh and particularly angry.] They forced him to confess to a crime he never committed. They promised him the black and they took his head!

[He frowns and shakes his head, looking extremely worked up about this.]

And, my lady, all I do here is nothing of importance.

[Robb Stark is a busy, busy young man.]

[She reaches out to squeeze his shoulder. She tends to be pretty physically demonstrative.] Being abducted for someone else's entertainment is a very helpless feeling. Especially when there are important battles at home. [She doesn't miss the Lannister name there. Tyrion told her how awful his father and sister were.]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

It is beneath us. [And a very, very helpless feeling as well, yes.] Do I look as if I am some sort of fool who dances for laughs and applause?

[The assuring squeeze of his shoulder is welcome and it calms him just a little bit.]

The moment I am able to escape I will go, taking my siblings with me. [He nods firmly while saying that, crossing his arms in a defiant way.]

It's not fair to anyone. [Even Theon! Maybe.]

I believe you will. [She doesn't believe that moment will come, but if it did she's sure he'd be careful to watch out for his family. In her last prison—the one that called itself a prison—she'd declared something similar only she made every abductee there hers to protect. She wanted to get everyone of them home or where they wanted to be. It always felt painfully far away and then one day she was just on the Marsiva and as the months pass her motivation and dedication to returning there to finish what she started slips a little further away as she becomes more entrenched in the lives here. She's not sure what her purpose is anymore.]

It's good to make the most of the moments you get with family.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

If it fairness we want we are at the wrong place. [The world is not fair. Westeros isn’t, and these lords of Atroma certainly aren’t either.] I do not want to sound like some bitter old man, yet, at times I think it is folly to believe in the kindness of others. [They sure did not grant his father mercy even though they promised to and maybe war has made Robb a little bitter.] Believing is one thing, making it happen is another.

[He smiles a sad smile.]

I have had not enough of those, that is sure. [After those words he sighs.] I should not burden you with such things. I still need to find a bank.

[passingthrough]

I probably wouldn't know what to do with fairness if I got it. I might not even recognize it. [She smiles, but this is probably accurate.]

I'll let you look for that bank. Good luck with it and getting a sword.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

I think it depends on who they offer fairness. Taking a man’s head might seem cruel to one, yet fair to another. Justice and fairness are fickle things.

[He thinks of Lord Karstark when he says that. He thinks of the vow he has broken.]

Aye. It is that way, not? [He points to the right of him.]

[passingthrough]

I'm not sure, but it's as good a direction to check as the others, right?

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb nods deeply and smiles afterwards.]

It was good to meet you, my lady. [And have some sort of utterly open conversation he did not expect to have at all! After a short sort of bow he turns and walks off.]
