...Wow. Not even gonna imprison him? Just- slice his head right off?

[He was willing for that to happen to Ozai, but Ozai was literally trying to burn the world. And, in the end, Aang had been right, keeping him alive. Or...he hoped Aang had been right. Time would tell on that one.]

It's connected to the moon. Tides, and all that you know? And she absolutely became the moon spirit, I saw it with my own eyes and you gotta know I'm pretty cynical when it comes to stuff like this.

I guess? I don't know the ins and outs, it's not something I can do anyway, so.

[Robb sighs and shakes his head.] Betrayal is betrayal. I could never trust him again and my lords would not accept it if I would forgive him either. It needs to be done. Sooner or later. [Another sigh.] It is the most painful way to end a friendship and I cannot deny that I wish it turned out differently.

[But his life seems to be keen on having to leave everything behind. Friends became enemies and vice versa.]

I think... I think there is something quite... [How to describe it... Poetic? Romantic? Beautiful?] ...nice about that. If she would truly be a moon spirit than all you have to do is look at the moon and see her. So she is never truly gone forever. [Robb flashes Sokka a smile.]

[alwayscomeback]

But what about just...I don't know, imprisoning him or something? Why right to the head slicing?

[He smiles. It's sad, but it's a smile all the same. That's what she had said. That she'd always be with him. ]

You know, that's pretty true. It's not quite the same, but I know she's always around anyway.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

Because that is a fitting punishment for a traitor. [It is how it is. Of course there is also the fact that his men probably would not accept it if Robb would leave Theon inside a dungeon. And he wasn’t worth much as a hostage, at least that was clear.] Death. [It would not easy to actually do it but Robb has no plans on showing mercy when it came to Theon’s treacherous ways.]

I think, at times, it could be of comfort. [Robb does not believe that his own father is inside a moon, or a sun, or anywhere. And secretly he wishes he had such a way of comforting himself.] When sadness overcomes you, for instance.

[alwayscomeback]

...That just doesn't sit right with me, I'm sorry.

[Jeez, Aang really HAD rubbed off on him. For the best, he hopes. ]

I guess. I mean...yeah. It's a comfort.

[Oh no, talking about his own feelings, he can't do thaaat. ]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[To Robb it seems logic to behead a man for treason and when Sokka tells him that it isn’t right in his eyes he merely shrugs.] These are the laws of the North. [En general Westerosi.] They do not have to apply to you. Or your realm.

[Robb gazes at the other as he reaches for another cake.]

It is. [He smiles at Sokka, noticing a little that things are a bit harder for is captain than he wants to let on.] Do not forget that.

[alwayscomeback]

...True.

[He still doesn't like it any more brah. ]

Yeah, thanks. I won't. Uh...I'll leave you to the party. There's a half a cow leg somewhere with my name on it, I'm sure.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb nods a serious nod.]

Very well. [Another nod.] It was good to speak to you, captain. I hope you will have a pleasant time here. With your cow leg, that is.

[alwayscomeback]

OH, I will, trust me.

[And off he goes, to enjoy his cow leg. ]
