ᴛᴡᴏ ♚ broken dreams and silent screams

[wolfskin]

Is there naught we can do but sit and wait for this... affliction to run it's course?

[ Robb fears he knew the answer to this question before it ever left his mouth. By his tone he is by no means pleased. (But who is?) The background a low rumble can be heard, heavy foot falls soon joining them as Grey Wind paces the room.

The line across his neck was the first to appear, spreading like greyscale. Then the heart... bleeding words as if that sword had truly pierced his chest. Robb covered them with scarves and leathers, but it did little to hide the stains. They simply bleed through as if the fabric had never been there to begin with.

The padding suddenly stops with a bestial groan. Grey Wind plops down at his feet, quite literally on his feet. Thanks bro. ]

Alright boy, lets go outside.

[ Neither wolf nor king seem to be good at sitting, so outside they go. With journal in hand and stains for all to see. ]

[wolfchild]

That's what hair does, stupid.

[wolfskin]

It will be knotted again.

[wolfchild]

You brush it then. [ It's a trap. ] And brush your beard too.

[wolfskin]

Am I your maid now?

[wolfchild]

Yes. [ she says it promptly. ] I'll be queen.

[wolfskin]

Queen of the North? [ He laughs. ] Shall I get a crown made for you, Your Grace?

[wolfchild]

Of iron. Like yours. With wolves etched on it. And with winter roses like Lyanna's.

[wolfskin]

If that is what Your Grace desires, I shall see it done.

[wolfchild]

[ Giggling, she pats him on the head. ]

You are king and I am queen. I will advise you.

[wolfskin]

Advise me on what?

[wolfchild]

On everything. [ Duh. ]

[wolfskin]

On everything? [ Robb laughs. ] I did not know you so wise, little sister.

[wolfchild]

You don't know me. I've learned a lot.

[wolfskin]

I do not doubt it.

[wolfchild]

So I can help. I'll be better than the rest. I know you and I know this place and the people in it.

[wolfskin]

Then you best advise me.

[wolfchild]

[ An ecstatic grin crosses her face. ]

I will be the best one!

[wolfskin]

The very best.
