[You stupid, Arya says, when he's finally managed to swim back to consciousness and out of a drugged haze, to find himself surrounded by his family and friends.

Arya! Don't you see, that was brave of him. Sansa, always the romantic. He risked his life to save his love!

You mean it was stupid of him, Arya retorts, and Robb just laughs.

Stupid! Rickon echoes, but he's clinging to Robb's bedside all the while and refusing to let go.

Asshat, Theon remarks, earning himself a glare from Robb's mother and a reminder that there are children here, Greyjoy. Not that it would've stopped him, anyway. Don't you do that again, you were all over the news.

He spends more than a few hours talking with them all and explaining himself, while Dany stands guard at the door. It's only when the day is winding down and they're all filing out, one by one, that he asks his mother what happened to Une.

She's worried about you, she tells him. She hadn't left your bedside in days.

It's a surprise to him, really, and he's still shocked by the time his parents leave (with reminders never to do that again). Gods, Une had...she'd stayed. She'd stayed. It's more, he thinks, than he ever thought to be able to get from her.]
