Frost // Tyrion Lannister // Sandor Clegane

Mine or Not

'Mother was looking for you. We ride for Kings Landing today.' Joffrey told Tyrion, sandor told a dutiful servant behind Joffrey.

'Before you go you will call upon the Lord and Lady Stark and offer them your deepest sympathies' Tyrion told him

'What good are my sympathies?' Joffrey sneered.

'None but it is expected of you, your absences already been noted.' Tyrion told him.

'The boy means nothing to me and I can't stand the wailing of women-' tyrion slapped him across the face.

'One word and I hit you again' Tyrion threatened.

'I'm telling mother!' so Tyrion hit him again

'Go. Tell her, but first you will go to lady and lord stark fall upon your knees in front of them and tell them you are very sorry that you are at their service and all your prayers are with them. Do you understand?' Tyrion instructed.

'You can't!' Joffrey cried out and Tyrion slapped him again

'Do you understand?' Joffrey stormed off.

'Don't go.' Robb said as Alina got a horse ready for the journey. She turned to him.

'Why not?' Alina questioned, 'are you going to miss me Robb?' She questioned and hugged him. He kept hold of her as she kissed his cheek goodbye. 'You will make a wonderful lord stark.' She informed him.

'Stay.' He begged and this felt very familiar to her goodbye with Sandor and Tyrion, her face dropped as she watched him get down on his knee. 'Stay. Marry me Catalina Frost.' He said holding out a ring to her. Her eyes went wide she didn't know what to say. No seemed to mean, Robb was her friend. Friend.

'They would make a handsome couple,' ned noted seeing his son proposing to Alina in the courtyard. 'It seems she might not be coming with us after all.' Tyrion couldn't breathe. He stumbled backwards running into sandor.

'Watch it.' Sandor grumbled but Tyrion kept his eyes forward on Alina and Robb. 'Fuck.' Sandor muttered, understanding.

'Robb I...' alina felt a chill get stronger as she tried to think of how to let him down gently.

"You would be the lady of winterfell, you would never have to leave the north again... we could rule together. I know how smart you are, I know how brilliant you would be in a position of true political power... marry me. lets change the world together.' Robb asked smiling up at her.

'I...' she noticed Ned smiling joyfully over at them. 'I'm sorry.' She said offering him a hand up. 'I cant.'

'What do you mean you cant? Because of Tywin Lannister? I have already sent word to him,' Robb informed her.

"What did he say?' she aske curiously.

'well he didn't get back to me but father assures me that it is a good match and I have fancied you for a long time Alina.' He told her. 'Tywin has no reason to stay no.'

'Robb, you are my friend and I care about you.' Gods this felt just like how Sandor broke her heart leaving now she was breaking his heart she could see it with every word she spoke, she could she the light dwindle from his eyes as he came to the terms that she was not going to stay, she was not going to marry him. 'You are a wonderful man Robb,' the three men, Ned, Sandor and Tyrion watched from far, they couldn't hear they only saw the closeness of the two as Alina broke Robbs heart.

'As you are so wonderful.' He told her grabbing her cold hands in his.

'I don't think my cold heart can ever truly love again.' She told him. 'and you deserve someone that can love you fully and completely.' She told him and he dropped her hands. 'I'm so sorry Robb. It is not you. If I were a different girl perhaps, if things were different-'

'Different how?'

'You've never had your heart broken before. I hope you never do... I hope I'm not breaking your heart, I hope I'm not swaying you away from finding real love.' Alina told him. 'Robb, I'm still hopelessly hung up on the men that broke my heart.' She told him. 'you deserve someone that doesn't have that hanging over the relationship. I'm sorry. I wish you all the happiness in the world... Lord Stark of Winterfell.' He kissed her cheek before turning and walking away. Ned chased after his son confused at the pained looked on their faces.

'Killer?' Sandor questioned and she blinked away tears.

'Frosty what was that?' Tyrion asked.

'Robb proposed.' She told them simply.

'That soo?' Tyrion said through clenched teeth.

'When are we leaving? Soon?' alina questioned.

'You didn't say yes?' Sandor questioned.

'No. I didn't say yes.' She told him turning back to her horse. 'Soon correct? I wanted to say goodbye to Bran before we headed out.'

'Yes, as soon as the king gets off his ass.' Sandor told her and she walked through them to say goodbye to Catelyn, Bran, Rickon...

'You gonna be the next lady winterfell?' Theon asked following her inside.

"What?" she snapped around. 'oh no... no I'm... goodbye Theon.' She hugged him.

'Youre leaving?' he questioned.

'Yes I just wanted to say goodbye to all the starks not accompanying us to kings landing.' She told him.

'I thought you would stay, marry Robb and stay.' Theon told her confused.

'No, my cold heart is far to broken for love I'm afraid' alina forced a smile.

'I am going to miss you though.' Theon said, he really thought she would stay.

'Go talk to the white haired whores when you miss me.' she teased winking at him as she entered Brans room. 'Catelyn.'

'Hello Catalina.' She stood up. 'Are you leaving?'

'Yes. I just came to say goodbye. How is he?' she moved to brans side squeezing his hand.

'Did Robb talk to you yet?' Catelyn asked.

'Yes... he did. I'm sorry I mean no disrespect in declining his proposal.' Alina told her. 'I want him to find a real love, I don't think I can love him properly.' Damnit she really did sound like sandor and Tyrion, she was making his whole damn family feel the heart break. She hated her self but she couldn't love him.

'Oh,' Catelyn said as Ned entered.

'Alina.' He said and she turned to him. 'Wont you reconsider?' alina shook her head.

'I hate to break your hearts.' She told them. 'but he deserves better than a dramatic snow queen with a heart frozen solid.' She hugged Rickon goodbye, giving him a snowflake to remember her by. 'if you would have me back,' she said softly to Robb looking back at the royal party all taking off for kings landing. 'I would like to visit you and check on Bran in the future... if that would be alright.' Alina asked Robb and he hugged her.

'you are always welcome here. Winterfell is your home Alina, whether you are mine or not. This will always be your home.'
