crying tears of manpain.

[ robb will never say it to his face. they've gone through far too much together for robb to consider him anything other than a brother. ( although, bran would disagree - bran, if he were alive would tell robb that robb always paid theon more attention than any of his brothers ). theon is always something else. any words that robb will say, it will all boil down to what theon is. important. when the greyjoy's had left him to the starks - never bothering until theon came at the castle doors like a prodigal child - robb is different. when theon had left it is robb who wished for him to come back. he has to go back, he remembers pleading.

but war was different. fealties chained and it was the only window people had to change their banners.

( we fought with wooden swords a year ago, robb thinks as he fixes his eyes intently on theon. there are memories of winterfell, fond and warm memories that feel like a patch of sunshine on a cool day. they shatter when he remembers that there in front of him is the reason why he'll never have these things again. )

robb will do what he must because theon has pushed him to do just that.

was it not you who said I aught to take throne? ]


You will not try to save yourself, Greyjoy?

[ he doesn't take a knee. stands firm in his place. ]
