[His anger had no real reaction from her. Robb couldn't do half of the things Joffrey did when he was mad.
The last shreds of Alayne passed when he said those words. She knew how silly the songs and stories were, but Robb was her older brother. She couldn't give up hope in him. Not after everything.]
You are not dead here. [She replied quietly.] I listened to them because I hoped you'd come for me.
[Her response was just as hurt, cooled though. Her emotions reigned in, she looked back at him.]
You do not know what it was like. Mother nor Arya know what it was like. They argue with me, want me to be what I was, but I cannot. I cannot tell them that there are no more Starks. Bran and Rickon are dead, and I cannot tell them. Your death was already told our Lady Mother, but she made me swear not to tell Arya. She is so young, Robb. She is from before all of this.
It is not just a name. It holds all that once was and cannot be. I helped to kill Joffrey and all I had was Petyr Baelish. It is who I am now.
[She scrambled to return to the idea of Alayne, hard and calculating, but it was much more difficult to do so with Robb looking at her like that.]
