'I heard some nasty little rumors about you nephew.' Edmure said
'Oh would you shut up about that and don't call him nephew you call him King!'
'The Lord knows I meant him no disrespect.' Edmure said stubbornly.
'You're lucky I'm not your King. I wouldn't let you wave your blunders around like a victory flag.' Robb watch the two with distaste as Odetta grabbed his hand intertwining their fingers leaning into him.
'I heard that Tywins mad dog left Castlery rock with his tail between his legs. I think cause king Robb understands we're not going to win, if we're not winning any battles and there's enough glory to go around.'
'This is not about glory.' Robb informed them, 'not for me. your instructions were to wait for them to come to you.'
'I seized an opportunity.' Edmure told him pompously.
'And what of my brother, Gregor? The mountain?' Odie questioned from the window.
'The mountain was across the sea.' Edmure told them
'Is he there now?' Robb asked
'Of course not!' Edmure told him. 'We took the fight to him and he did not resurface.' Edmure went on happily.
'I wanted to draw him out! Draw him into our country! Surround him, capture him, I wanted him to chase us, as he would've done because he is a mad dog.' Robb snapped 'Without a strategic thought in his head.' Robb clarified 'I could have that head on a spike by now.' he said through clenched jaw 'instead of you...' Edmure looked between Robb and Odetta, he didn't know whoes glare was more vicious.
'We took hostages,' Edmure told him nervously. 'Martin Lannister and-'
'Martin is 13 years old.' Robb told him
'He is 15 I believe.' one of his counselor spoke up
'Tywin Lannister has my sisters.' Robb said taking threatening steps towards his uncle. 'Have I sued for peace?'
'No.' he answered
'No... do you think he will sue for peace because we have his father's brothers great grandsons?' Robb countered Edmure's face pinched before he answered
'No.' he answered honestly
'How many men did you lose?' Robb demanded
'208.' Edmure answered and Robbs face dropped just a little bit. 'but for every man we lose we lost the Lannister's-'
'We need our men more than Tywin needs his!' Robb shouted
'I'm sorry.' Edmure said 'I didn't know.'
'You would have, had you've been here at this gathering and been patient.' Odie sneered from across the room. No one hated her brother more than Sandor and her, if they got him... she couldn't imagine the immense relief Sandor would feel knowing Gregor dead. Although Sandor did always say he would be the one to kill Gregor.
'Seems we are running short of patience here...' Edmure said slowly.
'Do you know who isn't? Tywin Lannister.'
