Not Theon Greyjoy, but a device made to mimic his sweet words. If you're soliciting goods, I've got no interest, unless you're a lady and they're yours by birth. If you're from Westeros you'll have better luck trying to send a raven. Bar the obvious exceptions. But this message is long enough — time for yours.

Very well.

I dream of feasting... with your headless father, Robert Baratheon's gutted body. Jory Cassel and Benfred Tallhart. Men I have known all my life, seated at the tables of Winterfill, moldy and worm-eaten. Men and women that I killed and men and women that died far from me or long ago and men and women who are still living and breathing.

And in you stride through those great double doors, bringing winter howling with you, your wolf beside you, and both you and Grey Wind bleed from a thousand wounds and your eyes burn with twin fires.

[ His last words tremble, and he throws them at Robb, furious that he cannot deny him. ]

[ there is a long pause while robb processes that. ]

It appears you saw it true. I shall join them, sooner than I'd anticipated.

[turncloak]

All men here are dead or doomed to do so soon enough. It's a world of second chances.

[northerner]

Or simply a limbo, which shall change nothing.

[turncloak]

How pessimistic of you. Buck up and come and have a drink with me, dead man, since I was tragically unable to make that party of thanks giving.

[northerner]

[ if anyone needs a drink right now, robb does. which is why he acquiesces. ]

I shall meet you at the tavern of your choosing.

[ because this is so obviously a good life choice. ]

[turncloak]

[ Let us cultivate bitter alcoholism, bro. ]

It just so happens I'm on your side of the ocean. Duncan's.

[northerner]

I thought you found Wynn more agreeable?

[turncloak]

I had business in Dismas.

[northerner]

Should I even inquire as to the nature of it, Theon?

[turncloak]

Best not to, really.

[northerner]

[ SIGH. theon why so shady. ]

Very well. We shan't speak of it when I meet you.
