On the Blue Fish
[After waking up Robb does not stay inside his bed for long. He can be seen walking towards the showers, followed by a trip towards the kitchen because he is hungry enough that he can eat an entire horse. He is also thirsty enough that he can drink an entire river.

After that he goes to visit his siblings to check up on them, knocking their doors to see if they are still on this ship.

He has a hammering headache and finds it difficult to determine how he feels. From the second he woke up until now it feels as if he has been slammed into a wall. He had not expected his lady wife to be here all of a sudden and he is somehow scared to hope for some sort of future together here.

After eating he can be found inside the weaponry, doing his duty as if nothing has really changed. As if he isn’t anything else but a corpse back home while lord Bolton’s bloody words keep echoing in the back of his mind.]

[steeledskin]

[ her door is closed, but when the knock sounds she is quick to take to her feet and set aside the hard-bound book she'd been reading. sansa tucks it neatly beneath her pillow and (straightening her slippers, first) she hurries to the door.

ever cautious, she lays her ear against the metal. ] Who's there?

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb smiles when he hears the sound of someone moving around behind the door and that smile only broadens when he finally hears Sansa’s voice.]

It’s me. Robb.

[There is obvious relief in his voice. Thank the gods they did not send Sansa home...]

[steeledskin]

[ robb! ear to the door, still, she smiles. robb is awake! she takes a moment to breath through her relief, and then lets the door open so she can usher him directly into her room. ]

How good it is to see you up, and walking. [ she reaches for his hands. ]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[The look on Robb’s face is one of relief when he finally sees her.]

Gods, not half as good to see you, sister. [When she has taken hold of his hands he squeezes them firmly.] I feared the worst. [In fact, Robb feared a lot of things.]

How have you been?

[steeledskin]

[ she laces her fingers with his -- anchoring them together as though she feared he might float away. so much is changing, and so quickly. ]

Well. I've been well. Worried, but not any longer. Are you well-rested?

[ she wonders how long she can go without mentioning his lady wife. ]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb smiles when she laces their fingers together. She is still here. And she is still safe. Honestly, Robb couldn’t ask for anything more.]

I am. Apparently I have slept for a long time. [He does not want to mention that he has gone home to die. He just does not want to talk about that.

And well, it does not take long before he mentions said lady wife.] Have you met Jeyne yet?

[Gods he hopes Sansa and Jeyne get along well.]

[steeledskin]

We've met. [ she smiles with a happiness she doesn't feel. bright, supportive, and loving. sansa presses a kiss to the back of his hand. ] She is every bit as beautiful as you said she was.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

I truly hope you will get along. [He moves a hand through his hair and the smile around his lips turns a little bit more awkward.] Just... [And from awkward it goes to non-existent.] ...do not blame her for the mistakes I have made. Or for what will happen.

[He still holds one of her hands and squeezes it, hoping for a positive response.]

She is quite beautiful, I must say.

[steeledskin]

I am certain we will be fast friends -- [ sansa vows, and easily, though it's a lie. she will always bring a modicum of uncertainty to any stranger until she's managed to categorize them in her mind. jeyne is no exception, and yet she fears disappointing robb.

if pleasing him means playing the dutiful sister, than she shall. ]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb's smile broadens when she says that. There is nothing he wants to hear more.]

I am sure of it, Sansa. [He is absolutely not aware that she is lying and all he does is squeezing her hands again.] You will have a friend in her. She is nothing like the lions that have been around you back home.

[Still, Gawen Westerling had been one of Tywin Lannister's bannermen. And still, in the end of it all it was just a minor detail.]

And...how have you been? Did anything happen while I was asleep?

[steeledskin]

[ her jaw sets. for a flicker of a moment, she looks like she might talk back. something about how not all lions roar equally, and yet they're lions all the name. she does not easily forget the lannisters' cruelty, nor their bannermen's blind loyalty.

but sansa breathes out. she wrestles control back into her own bones. ]

We landed again. Something happened to the Blue Fish before we did. It -- rocked.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[This time Robb notices the slight change in her look and he cocks his head briefly, wanting her to speak if she feels like it and when she does it is something different than he expects it to be.

Just an answer to his question.]

Rocked? [There is a curious look on his face.] Shook? Was there damage to the ship?

[steeledskin]

No. [ a pause. ] I think not. But there was some distress message down on the surface -- deep in the forests.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb nods slowly at her answer. If there was any damage to the ship he would have known, sleeping or not. He would be floating in space or the ship would be docked for reparations.]

I see... [He pauses briefly.] Did we come to their aid?
