I want my mother.

Shaggy - He'll find her for me if you won't.

Maester Luwin believed I was coming back, sweet boy. It is not a lie when you believe it to be true. It was not his fault. And I am not lying now. I believe and know I will stay with you, if you stay with me.

[thebaby]

Maester Luwin thought Father was coming home, too. Even after I went down to the crypt - and Bran! He went, too.

[ ...that's like a lie, right? whatever, he just wants to tell her all the things ever. ]

[motherofwinter]

You should not be down in the crypt, it is a dark and dreary place.

[thebaby]

But Father was there. I saw him.

[motherofwinter]

Are you sure you weren't dreaming? [She strokes his hair gently.] I dreamt of your father after...

inappropriately happy icon what.

[thebaby]

I was dreaming, but he said he was coming back. [ The faintest of sniffles. ]

hahaha

[motherofwinter]

Perhaps someday he will. But he will always be in your heart. [She places her hand over his heart.] As will I and your brothers and sisters.

[thebaby]

No he won't. He's dead.

[ Another sniffle. And looking down at his feet. He doesn't want to talk about his brothers or sisters, because she left for her brother, and Father left with Sansa and Arya. ]

[ ...Bran's okay. ]

[motherofwinter]

[She frowns, touching his hair once more.] But he is in your heart and you will see him again, someday. Once you've lived a full life.

[thebaby]

I want to see him again now, Mother. I haven't had a dream about him in the crypt since then, and then we had to leave Winterfell.

[motherofwinter]

I wish I could bring him to you. More than anything.

[thebaby]

[ He's rubbing his face on his sleeve and sniffing. It...might not be very clear if it's because he's sad or just has a running nose, but it's a good excuse not to talk. ]

[ (Because it's sad. And he's getting continually sadder the more they talk about Ned.) ]

[motherofwinter]

Come, tell me of where you have been. [She moves to wrap her arm around him.]

[thebaby]

With Osha. [ Yanno, one of the people that might have tried to kill Bran. She's okay now. ]

We hid in the crypt, too, with Bran and Hodor and Meera and Jojen. We were hiding but it wasn't a fun game, Mother. [ No, it was pretty damn scary. ] And when we came out, everything was ruined. So we had to go away.

[motherofwinter]

Osha? [That servant/wildling girl?]

You do not have to hide anymore or go away, my sweet. Were you safe?

[thebaby]

Yes, Osha. And...I don't know. We haven't gotten there yet.

[ "There". Some castle whose name he never paid attention to. ]

[motherofwinter]

Where were you going?

[thebaby]

Skajoss.

[ ...He doesn't know. That's what it sounds like at least, but he means Skagos. You know, mother. Where there are cannibals. ]

[motherofwinter]

You mean... Skagos? [NO DON'T GO THERE.]

[thebaby]

Yes. There. [ He nods. ] With Osha and Shaggy.

[motherofwinter]

I suppose Shaggydog will be able to protect you but... I'd prefer you not go there.

[thebaby]

We don't have a choice.

[motherofwinter]

Well, now, you must stay with me.

[thebaby]

And Shaggy.

[ oh, a thought - ]

And Osha, too? She can come, too, right?

[motherofwinter]

Yes, they may come too.
