“Of course,” Roose said with a nod of his head. He would inform the king about everything of importance. It was his duty, after all. He gave a bow of his head before walking away, allowing Robb to get on with sending the letter.
Lord Bolton wasn’t going to return to the girl straight away. He felt as if that’s the only place he’d been since they took Harrenhal. Instead he took a short amount of time to rest and eat the dinner that Robb had ordered be made. Like he’d expected, it wasn’t anything special like a feast at Winterfell, but it was different to the meals they usually had in the camps.

She didn’t actually know why it bothered her so much, but all she knew was that she wanted to return to her quarters so she didn’t have to look at his face. Some part of her hoped that Maran would be guarding her that night.
Once they reached her quarters, she opened the door and turned to him. “Goodnight, Lord Greyjoy.” She said in a cold tone, and didn’t even wait for his response before she closed the door on his face.
