ғɪᴠᴇ ♚ so take another breath

[ Like before Robb writes, his hand feeling heavy as the quill produces the words. Take heart in the knowledge she is safe in the Vale, take heart─ if only it were so simple. ]

I regret to inform that Alayne Stone is no loner within the walls of the castle, she has been returned to Westeros. My condolences to those who have lost a friend, she shall be missed.

─ Robb Stark, King in the North and of the Trident.

[ It is signed the same way as before, direwolf symbol and all. With that he closes the journal, designing not to open it again for some time. ]

She was a kind girl who treated my mother fairly, it was the least I could do to repay that.

[ It speaks highly of Robb Stark for him to take those less fortunate under his wing; something Dany would do herself, if she were in the same position. ]

Admirable of you, to do so.

[ A slight and somewhat awkward pause. ]

...I trust that your injuries no longer trouble you.

They are mending. [ They itch and ache if he moves wrongly, but that much is expected with injuries of any kind. ]

You... tended them well.

And you saved me, well.

[ Through the page of the journal, the faint sounds of dragon screeching can be heard; Dany's children swoop and soar just outside of her window, circling the small tower as she leans against the sill and speaks, her response tempered with modesty. ]

I am glad that they mend. I only did what the healer who gave you the supplies to treat would bid of anyone to do.

You did more than that. [ She treated someone who could have very well been her enemy. ] It was a kindness I will not forget.

[ There is a soft sound that could be mistaken for a clipped laugh, if he's listening closely enough. ]

...You have saved my life twice, and by all rights I should be indebted to you—but to hear you speak of it, it sounds as though it would be the other way around.

[ She's amused by this, and it emboldens her further. ] Why is that? I cannot believe that no one has ever tended an injury of yours as well as I have, especially when I am no healer.

We are neither friends or enemies, I am not a man who would take what you did for me and my sister lightly. I saved your life, yes, but you had no obligation to tend my wounds or offer your aid.

You have already fulfilled your debt to me, my lady, and more.

And where does that leave us, then?

Truthfully, I do not know.

[ Cautiously: ]

If I were to ask something of you, then...would you grant me my request?

[ A pause, weighted with thought. ]

I would listen to your request my lady, before granting it.

...You are the most knowledgable person here, in this place, of Westeros - you and your sister both, and you have fought battles across its land, besides.

I wish to know more about it, the land, the terrain, its people...if you would tell me of it.

I would tell you of it, my lady. When hurts are no longer so close I will invite you to my solar, I have a map of Westeros that may aid in the telling.

[ That is more than she would have asked for. ]

I would be most appreciative, when the time calls for it. In the meanwhile, I will leave you to mourn the loss of your Vale girl. I understand what it is to lose someone you care for, so deeply.

[ You know, in that way, Robb. ]

─What?

[ He catches her meaning, almost choking on the air within his throat. ]

No, she was not- it was nothing like you think my lady, she was a close friend of my mother and sister.
