You are right, this isn't necessary. Were it in your power I would ask that you return me to the Wall; as it is I only ask that you allow me to sleep. You'd be the first in a long while.
[Robb chuckles, meeting that hug, not quite falling as he had braced for it and war did that, made you hold your feet truer. He does however squeeze Jon then claps a hand to his shoulder.]
Yes because I have done not but lay abed each day leaving the affairs of The North to those who are more knowledgable.
Every man under his command. [His own eyes are shimmering much like water with ther blue hues. Gods it was wonderful to see a face he could truly trust, truly depend on.]
Looks as if the Wall has made a man out of you.
[It is left unspoken but Robb wishes deeply his brother and friend could be at his side. But for their mother's they would be.]
It made a lord commander out of me. The Wildlings did the rest.
[and how many times had jon wished to ride south, cursed himself for not doing so? but if he had not been there to defend the wall and make peace with the free folk, the north would be overrun by now. robb would have wanted him to stay where he was. maybe if he tells himself that enough times he'll believe it.]
/sobbing over how it all turns out for Robb. He and Jon would have won!
[There is an instant smile of surprise and pride at those words.]
Lord Commander. I see news is slow to reach the battlefield at times. A job well done. Though, what is this about wildlings?
[One thing, a person could not always have what they want because what they must do is something else entirely. Robb agonized even now, go North or South, which battle did he fight. He is and will aalways be proud of the man who stands before him. ]
Would that I could make use of your blade beside mine Lord Commander but, duty oft times leadoes not allow indulgences.
Even tamed the wildlings. I daresay, I've missed a great deal.
[That rare show of vulnerability is like a knife in his heart and he pulls Jon into another hug. By standards they may only be half brothers but to Robb, Jon is his brother as much as Bran and Rickon are.]
Duty and family often will pull a man in many directions. You were where you were most needed.
[jon more or less collapses in robb's arms because, well. he doesn't say anything, only rests his forehead against robb's temple and hopes all this means he was somehow, miraculously, mistaken about everything, and robb will sort it all out in the end.]
[Robb may be a little surprised by that response but he catches Jon. His eyes close and he hugs the other fiercely. Temple resting to temple.
He does not know it all, he has thus far been spared living it or knowing that it comes the writer keeps that to herself. If he could of course he would fix it all. For all of them.]

Some of us have to work for our keep, Stark.

Perhaps a bit less wild these days. We've settled them in the Gift.
[he clenches his hand and lifts his head, allows himself to look at robb with some measure of vulnerability.]
I would have--I was needed where I was. I'm sorry.

It's going to be okay.
