'We are at war this march is a distraction.' Castor told Robb.
'My grandfather's death is not a distraction.' Robb told him
'We should be riding to River runn, this is a distraction.'
'My uncle has his forces garrisoned there, we need his men.' Robb told him
'Unless he's been breeding them it won't make a difference.' Castor scoffed.
'Have you lost faith in our cause?' Robb question castor
'I still got faith in you.'
'If you don't believe-' Rob sad
'I can believe until it snows in Dorne but it does not change the fact that we do not have the men.' Castor spat.
'It does not matter-'
'Have you been speaking your mind your grace?'
'Lord Caster...'
'You lost this one because your mother and you made a shit deal that you knew would never happen.' Castor told him riding off.
'He is not wrong.' Odie said riding up behind Robb. She reached out a hand for his. 'What you are doing, fighting back against the most powerful family in all of westeros...'
'a brave idiot?' Robb questioned.
'My brave idiot.' Odie told him. 'I just don't want you dying, haven't enough starks lost their lives for this cause?'
'We don't stop.' Robb told her.
'I'm not saying we stop but we need to find a better way then chasing the lanisters around. You hurt his pride no doubt, he is going to retaliate. I just worry what he will do to win...'
++++++++++
'Are you sure about this?' Catelyn questioned
'No.' Robb admitted
'My brave husband.' Odie said holding tight to his hand. 'this seems dangerous.'
If we take Tywin Lannister's camps he will realize he's not invincible we will take his home take his gold and take his power.' Robb said
'Why are you telling me this?' Catelyn asked.
'You begged me not to send Theon to negotiate with his father and I ignored your request.' Robb told her 'now Winterfell is burnt to the ground the north is overrun with iron born and I have no way to get it back so Castlery rock... I'm asking your advice.' Robb told her
'Do we have enough men?'
'If Walder Frey cooperates'
'If walder Frey cooperates?' Cat countered 'if reinforcements arrive from Kings Landing before we take the castle we will be caught between Tywins army and the sea.' Cat reminded her son.
'We will lose the war and die the way father died or worse.' Robb acknowledged.
'Odetta?' Cat questioned and she looked up from her feet. they had lost too much, too damn much. It was time to take back the power.
'Show them how it feels to lose what they love.'
