[The fight he had with Bran has been an ugly one and warging is still something he cannot accept. But that is not something he wants to justify to her.]

Bran is my brother. And what has happened between us is not of your concern. [His voice sounds harsh now and there's a bit of anger in his eyes.]

This is no bloody children's game, lady Ino. And if you think it so, I do not wish to play along. [Because Robb Stark is most obviously a man.]

[ She's somewhere between baffled and outraged, now. Also, she's just going to ignore that comment about it not being her concern. Of course it's her concern! EVERYTHING IS HER CONCERN. ]

What the hell is that supposed to mean--?! Of course it's not a game. You're being awful to someone who cares about you! How dare you make him think less of himself!

Bran has a bloody mouth. He should learn how to use it instead of sending others to do the talking, or punching, for him. That is a game played by children!

[But despite everything Robb feels guilty. Okay, no, Robb always feels guilty, but this time there is some extra guilt on top of all the guilt he already feels.]

As I said. This is not of your concern. Keep your fists to yourself next time, my lady. Let Bran fight his own battles.

Oh, shut up about whose concern it is! For your information, Bran didn't ask me to do this, so don't act like it's his fault. In fact, he'd probably be upset to know that I punched you, because he's a good kid, and he looks up to you and just wants you to approve of him.

[ Oooh, but she wants to punch him again. Her fists are clenched at her sides, but she keeps them there. For now. ]

He doesn't know yet that he has something to be proud of. But you ought to know better, if you're not a child, like you say.

[Anger can be an overwhelming thing sometimes and he can hear her talk but the words do not click inside his head. They go right past him.]

Leave me be.

[After those words he simply turns around and starts to walk away.]

-- Hey!

[ She goes to grab at his arm. ]

Walking away isn't going to just make it go away, you know! Apologize to him!

To Bran walking away works just fine.

[Robb is extremely angry and it takes a lot of effort to keep his cool here and not sound like some sort of huffy teenager.]

I think I wish to try it.

[ She huffs. ]

Acting like you're some kind of reasonable adult doesn't really work when you use a childish line like that, you know.

Do not speak of things you do not know anything of, my lady. And it is never wise to be willing to lend an ear to one story and ignore the other. [Robb huffs as well. Yes, he is being a child. So be it.]

[ She's about to protest that she does in fact know many things, but you know what? Fine. Let's go with an explanation he ought to understand. ]

The fact of the matter is that Bran still interpreted it the way he did and is still upset because of it, regardless of whatever it was you said. If your enemy goes to war with you over a misunderstanding, do you actually think they'd stop just because you stomp your feet and say you didn't have a chance to say your piece?

[ She lets go of his arm, now. ]

It's your job to fix the damage that's been done, regardless of how it happened.

[Robb presses his lips onto each other, obviously very angry. He tries to yank himself free from her grip.]

Gods be good, woman! Do you have any idea what you are saying?! Has Bran spoken to you about the consequences of being a skin changer? How the realm looks upon that? [While speaking he keeps twisting his arm, wanting to get away from her.] The history behind it? Because it is more than look upon me, I have changed skins now I am a bloody fox!

[It has been a long time since he has been this angry.]

I can assure you, no Northman would look friendly upon a Stark being a skinchanger!

[As he yells Robb realizes he is being harsh again. Covering up his childish behavior with futile attempts to sound a man. A stubborn, unforgiving sort of man. Or a boy pretending to be king.]

[ Oh, now she's really mad. It's one thing if he's worried about Bran's safety, but all of this just sounds like a poor excuse to cover up for his own fear. ]

No one here gives a damn what family you're from or how important you supposedly are, so don't bother with that kind of shitty excuse!

[ More importantly: ]

Do you think it's wrong? Are you afraid of him now that you know?

[What frustrates him the most is that this woman does not know anything. That she raises her fists and prevents him from leaving while spewing nonsense. The other option is that Bran has been spewing nonsense at her.

And that could very well be. ]

But they do back home! And this ship is not my home! This is a...reality show, you bloody lackwit of a wench! I fear you have no ability to hear since you are completely unwilling to listen!

[He clenches his hands to fists because, still, he is not going to hit a woman. A wench...but still a woman.]

I am not afraid of Bran. [He has wolfdreams himself from time to time where he smells and sees everything Grey Wind sees. Where he can see the direwolves of his siblings.] But it is wrong. He is not a wildling. Even though he wishes to be one! [That had hurt, really.]

And that part I will not accept!

[ There's a lot she could say about whether or not she's listening -- she's listening, dammit, and as far as she's concerned, it's all bullshit -- but that last line actually makes her speechless for a moment. She takes a few steps back from Robb, looking taken aback. ]

What the hell is wrong with you?! He's your brother. Your family! That means you accept him and love him no matter what ...! Even if they're doing something that you don't understand! It'd be one thing if you were just concerned for his safety, but ...

[ She shakes her head, eyes still a little wide from disbelief. ]

Insult me all you want, but at least I'm not a coward hiding behind what other people might think of me, like you.

[Robb can feel his nails digging into the palm of his hand. HIs lord father has always taught him to never hit a woman, how cruel she may be. It is not what lords do.]

I do not love him? Is that what you are trying to imply? You know of that?

[In fact, Robb would do everything for his brother. Absolutely everything.]

Gods be good, you do not know anything, woman. [Those words actually hurt him a little. Would Bran truly think that? That Robb did not love him?] You should really shut your mouth and keep your fists to yourself.

I'm implying that if you do, you're sure doing a shitty job of showing it.

[ She puts her hands on her hips. ]

I told you to fight me. If you had won -- which you wouldn't have -- then I wouldn't have said a word. If you really want me to shut up now, you'll have to beat me ... or you'll have to try looking past your own nose for two seconds and realize there's some truth to what I'm saying, and apologize to Bran for upsetting him.

[It annoys him that this woman thinks she knows everything. And that she claims he does not love his family. Only for that he would absolutely love to pummel her. For such utter disrespect and such a painful inability to understand. Yet, Robb does not raise a hand at all.]

The Others take your bloody mouth.

[And of course, there is some truth in it. But at this point Robb finds himself too angry to see that truth.]

I will not do such a thing. I will leave. [And Robb does exactly that. He turns his back and walks away.]
