[wolfskin]

[ Robb sighs, thoughts drifting to places he rather they didn't. Over a week and the news still weighs heavily on his shoulders. ]

I rather you close by.

[aliased]

[ there's radio silence for a long moment before there's a blip and look, robb, your sister is standing right next to you clutching to nymeria and a shit-eating grin and an expression that says 'ta-da' in a westerosi way. ]

[wolfskin]

[ Are you looking to give your brother a heart attack girl? Because you're well on your way to doing it. Robb practically jumps away, locket falling to the floor with a clatter. Instinctively he goes for his sword, only pausing when he realizes it is only Arya. ]

What─?

action »

[aliased]

[ Nymeria already worms her way out of Arya's grip to search for her own brother as Arya just grins at her startled brother, holding up her hand to show him a ring.]

Look what I got.

action »

[wolfskin]

[ Give his heart a moment; it thunders in his chest, eyes wide and mouth agape. How did she? He stares at the ring though it leaves him with only more questions. ]

A ring? [ Please explain. ]

action »

[aliased]

I was given it. [ She looks down at the ring. ] So I may return to my family whenever I want.

action »

[wolfskin]

[ A magic ring, then. Instinctively he distrusts it, magic is something he has yet to fully come to grips with though it is in the very air around them. But if it returns her to them at any moment... ]

Someone gifted this to you? [ He is uncertain whether he should thank them or curse them. ] Gods be good Arya, it would have been kinder to warn me.

action »

[aliased]

I asked for something like it. [ A boon. Still, she looks at him briefly before looking at the ground.]

I wanted to make you laugh. [ Or at least, smile.]

action »

[wolfskin]

[ He sighs. ]

Forgive me, laughter is far from my mind.

action »

[aliased]

[ as she suspected. she frowns a little.] I know.

action »

[wolfskin]

I appreciate your efforts, truly... [ He trails off, gaze falling from her to the floor. He can act strong as they need him to be, he can hear the Lord's face, but laughter passes rarely by his lips these past days. He prays it was different. ]

action »

[aliased]

[ he's mad at her, he's mad that she didn't tell him sooner.] I wanted to tell you before. They kept it from me too.
