Duty or Desire // Jon Snow // Robb Stark

85. Missed you more

'As soon as we heard of the wall falling I called all our men back... when can we expect your people to arrive?' tyrion was sat at the high table his eyes drifting down the table to Odie, she sat next to Bran at the end of the table a gentle hand running through his hair. She wasn't paying any attention. She was too focused on Bran. They spoke in hushed voices as the council of starks and Daenerys discussed the plan.

'We need more horses and wagons if it pleases my lady and my Lord. And my queen' the boy, Ned Umber added looking from Sansa to Jon to Daenerys.

'We will give you as many as we can spare'

'We need to send ravens to the night watch as well' Jon said

'Your Grace... But you're not are you? You left Winterfell a king and came back a... I'm not sure what you are now a lord? Nothing at all?' a girl, both children that spoke up so young to have such pressure put on their shoulders, Alys Karstark. Odie looked over to her, she was as young as Bran was when she left with Robb to the camps. They left Bran in charge... she regretted leaving but she didn't regret a single moment she spent with Robb.

'That is not important' Jon told her

'Not important? We named you King in the north' Alys said and the men rallied behind her. odie banged her fist in the table joining in on the excitement, Jon looked down the table at her, she had a smile on her face. He missed that smile. Odie had missed so much she was done missing out on love. If he broke her heart... he broke her heart. But she didn't want to spend another moment mad about something that he was still clearly racking his brain about.

'You did my lady it was the honor of my life and I will always be grateful for your faith but when I left Winterfell I told you we need to make allies or we will die. I have brought those allies home. I had a choice keep my crown or protect the north. I chose the north' Jon told them

'If anyone survived the war to come we will have Jon Snow to thank.' Tyrion told them moving around the long table. 'he risked his life to show us as a threat is real thanks to his courage we have brought with us the greatest army the world has ever seen we have brought two full grown dragons and soon the Lannister army will ride north to join our cause' he added and there was an uproar 'I know I know our people have not been friends in the past' tyrion reminded them 'but we must fight together now or die.'

'May I ask how we are supposed to feed all of these armies, the dothraki and the unsullied and two full grown dragons?' sansa questioned 'What do dragons eat anyway?' Sansa questioned.

'Whatever they want.' Dany informed her smugly.

'You don't like her.' Bran noted.

'Yep.' Odie agreed pressing a kiss to his head.

'I missed you Detta.'

"I missed you more.'

'Not possibly.' Bran told her and Odie laughed out amidst the tension in the air.

"entirely possible!' she told him rubbing at his shoulders. She didn't notice but everyone in the great hall's eyes were focused on them.

'Lady of winterfell!" one of the commanders called out catching her attention a smile still on her lips as she turned forward. "Glad to have you back.' There was a chatter of agreement.

'I'm not the lady of winterfell anymore.' Odie told them. 'I'm just Odetta Clegane... Sansa stark is your true lady of winterfell.'

'you always have a home here.' Sansa told her, smiling down the table at her.
