So I'm going to look how I should? As I enter...

Fine, that's fine. I want to go there, I want to become what I've got to become. I'm not going to find my family, not anymore, and you might keep hoping for someone to show up but I know the world's not like the songs.

He left me. They all did.

So I'll leave them.

Arya, not all princes are idiots; only usually ones that are Lannisters. [He laughed softly at that. They were as bad as one another when put together.]

Lady knight of the realm of Winterfell? A noble title, my lady. How many guards and nobles will you have under you?

[starkshewolf]

[She will just deftly avoiding mentioning the Lannisters, by grinning brightly instead] As many as is possible.

[winter_iscoming]

[A good move, since it was them who started all of the bad crap that happened between the many families.]

Right. Well, what do you think your sister will think of all this? Don't you think she'll be jealous that you'll be a lady knight and she won't? I'm guessing you'd want her to clean your room everyday, eh? [Now, he was teasing.]

[starkshewolf]

Well, she'll be off being a Lady, she won't have time to worry about me.

[winter_iscoming]

What of Nymeria? Ladies aren't supposed to have dire wolves running around with them all day. What will you do with her? [He wondered why she would do with the wolf, once all grown up.]

[starkshewolf]

[Okay, that pang hurt] Nymeria will be with me in battle. Knights can have a direwolf running into fight alongside them.

[winter_iscoming]

You know what? You're right. Since, your armour will bear our house, then you should have a dire wolf alongside you also. I was just curious, love, I meant no harm. [He gave her shoulder a soft squeeze.]

[starkshewolf]

She won't be allowed. At King's Landing. [Part of her wants to warn her father - damn what her mun says about 'spoilers' - to let him know so he can avoid what's to come. But... there's something... Acting like she was as she was back then? It's something she needs] The Queen doesn't like them, does she?

[winter_iscoming]

I don't know, love. I don't see why you can't have Nymeria at King's Landing, if she behaves herself and keeps out of people's way. [If he had his own way, he would let Arya take her wolf anywhere with her.]

[starkshewolf]

The Queen looks scared whenever one of them passes her. [That was true, she remembered that. She wouldn't mention remembering her ordering Lady's death though; her Father doesn't need that]

[winter_iscoming]

I think she's more jealous than scared. We're house Stark and the dire wolf is part of us; no one can take that away from us. [Especially not a Lannister.]

[starkshewolf]

You think she would have a pet lion if she could?

[winter_iscoming]

I think all the Lannisters would have lions, especially Jaime. Yet, they don't have the heart of one, unlike us. They're cowards, most of them. [Liars, bastards...]

[starkshewolf]

[Oh, she knows that's not ... quite the entire truth. Cowards, yes, she still thinks so, but the practice is something different] Joffrey's meant to be King one day... a King shouldn't be scared of a Wolf. [But she'd be delighted if he was scared of her]

[winter_iscoming]

Aye, he is, yet I don't think he'd make a very good one. He's too stuck up his own arse to notice anything going on around him. He's a spoilt brat and Sansa can't see that.

[starkshewolf]

[And now she looks... curious] You said we couldn't insult Joffrey.

[winter_iscoming]

I know, love, yet it's just you and me at this moment, not Joffrey. We can speak the truth with each other because we are of the same blood. You know he's no good for your sister, yet some thing are out of our hands.
