Frost // Tyrion Lannister // Sandor Clegane

Hostage

Robert was keeping Alina hostage.

Talking her ear off, his hand reaching for her, she kept inching away from him as politely as possible. She looked to Ned for help but Robert dismissed him.

'It would not be right of me to leave an unwed woman under my protection alone with a man, Robert.' Ned told him.

'We are fine... aren't we sweetie.' He sneered at her.

'I'm actually feeling a bit warm.' She said backing out of the room. Robert licked his lips watching her as Ned wrapping an arm around her. 'I think I best go get some air,' she curtseyed before leaving.

'I'm so sorry.' Ned said once they were alone.

'Its not your fault your friend is a creep.' Alina told him bluntly. 'where is his wife? The queen?' Alina questioned. 'She should be the one dealing with his over active cock, not me.' Alina snapped.

'I agree, I'm so sorry. He will be gone soon.' Ned told her.

"So will you.' Alina reminded him. 'I know you will do great in the capital. That place needs an honest and good man such as yourself.' Alina told him.

'Thank you... you know if you wanted to join us-'

'I think I might.' She told him. Ned smiled down at her, he thought for sure she wouldn't want to go to the capital, not after Roberts advances. 'I miss Tyrion and sandor, and I would miss you and the girls.' Alina told him. 'just for a bit, I'm afraid it would be too hot to live there for long but... a think for a bit I would like to see more than just the north.' She told him.

'I think you will be disappointed in the capital.' Ned told her. 'it is over crowded and filled with famine and suffering.'

'perhaps we can change that.' alina said hopefully.

'Perhaps we can... perhaps you could be the Hand's hand?' Ned offered, Alina lit up but her smile dropped as she heard the screams of Catelyn Stark ringing out from the courtyard. Alina jumped off the balcony floating down behind Jon and Robb. Bran lay motionless at Catelyn's feet, she sobbed over him.

'What happened?' Alina rasped.

'He fell.' Jon said not entirely believing his eyes.

'No, no, NO!' Catelyn cried.

'What happened?' Tyrion asked coming up behind Alina, he saw her pained face as she watched Bran get carried away.
