Frost // Tyrion Lannister // Sandor Clegane

Jon

'Don't stand so still it's hard to hit a moving target' Jon said trying to bond with his brothers 'Except for you.' he motioned to pip, 'you move too much,' he saw Tyrion watching him from the doorway above, 'you pull your sword out, jump around and you do all the work for me.' jon informed him.

'How many winters have you seen Lord Tyrion?'

'Eight no nine' he said

'All of them brief?' The maester questioned

'No, the winter of my birth was three years long Maester Amond.' Tyrion informed him.

'This summer has lasted nine but word from the citadel tells us that the summer grow shorter... winter is coming. This one will be long and dark, things will come with it.' Maester amond told him.

'We've been capturing Wildlings more every month they are fleeing south the ones who we find say they have seen the white walkers.'

'And the fisherman of Lannister port say they see mermaids' Tyrion told them humorously.

'The night watch is the only thing standing between the realm and what lays beyond and it has become an army of undisciplined boys and tired old men' maester amond told Tyrion. 'There are less than 1000 of us now,' he went on 'we cannot manage the other castles beyond the wall, we cannot properly patrol the wildlings, we barely have enough led to keep our men armed and fed.'

'Your sister sits by the side of the king. Tell her we need help'

'When winter does come, God's help us all if we are not ready.' Amond told him.

'I'm sorry to see you leave' Jon said as Tyrion finished pissing off the edge of the wall

'It's either me or this cold and it doesn't appear to be going anywhere.' Tyrion told him.

'Will you stop at Winterfell on your way south?'

'I suppose I will gods know there are not many featherbeds between here and Kings Landing.' Tyrion reminded him

'If you see my brother Bran tell him I miss him tell him I'd visit if I could.' Jon requested

'Of course' Tyrion said.

'He may never walk again' Jon informed him

'If you're going to be a cripple it's better to be a rich cripple. Take care snow' Tyrion said walking past.

'I will my Lord.'

'I think im going to stay here a bit longer while jon gets adjusted.' Alina told tyrion as he got ready to leave again.

'I wish you wouldn't' tyrion mumbled

'Whats that?'

'Nothing love. I will miss you.' Tyrion told her.

'Dont worry,' alina told him a smile on her lips. 'I will see you soon,' he gave her hand a tug and she dropped to her knees hugging him tight. He kept her hands on her when she started to pull away moving from her waist to her cheek, kissing her softly.

'This is how we said goodbye last time,' alina remarked but she wasnt crying this time, she smiled at him. Resting her forehead on his, she leaned into him.

'I will see you very soon Frosty,' he said and she hugged him again wrapping herself tighter around him.

But while Alina was getting the grand tour of the wall Tyrion was being captured by Catelyn stark, wrongfully accused of trying to murder Bran Stark.

'I have had so much fun.' Alina told them over supper. 'Thank you for having me I know you will take good care of my friend Jon, because if I hear otherwise-'

'Thank you Alina.' Jon said squeezing her hand.

'Just making sure everyone knows whoes boss.' Alina said sweetly.

'I'm going to miss you.' Jon told her.

'we all are.' The Crows agreed.

'a woman at the watch... who would have thought it would be so damn entertaining?' they teased.

'Where will you go?' Jon questioned.

'I think back to Castlerly rock, I miss tywin. Then maybe to winterfell and then kings landing.' Alina told him.

'It would be quicker to go to winterfell, then the rock and then kings landing.' Jon told her.

'Your right, perhaps I wont go to winterfell just yet. After kings landing perhaps.' Alina told him. 'I will need to escape the heat rather quickly I'm guessing.'

'well I'm going to miss you.' Jon told her hugging her goodnight. 'will you say good bye before you leave tomorrow?'

"Of course.' Alina kissed his cheek before retiring for the night. She was so excited that she didn't notice that danger was coming, not just winter, that was something she thrived on but danger to her family. To the Lannisters and to the starks.
