Wandering // Sandor Clegane // Thorin

57. Heart that's never been stolen

'I can't give you a heart that's never been stolen.' Aroura told them as they got ready for another day getting deeper and deeper into the north. 'I can't give you a heart that's never been broken.' She looked between Thorin and sandor. 'you got all the love I have. I am not holding anything back. All the love I have, you will never have to ask. I know it might not seem like much.' She admitted. 'but you two are getting every ounce of all the love I have and I never want it back.'

'I can live with that.' Thorin agreed pressing a kiss to her head. Aroura looked over at Sandor.

'Me too.' He agreed and she let out a relived breath. Nothing was solved but at least they knew how she felt and that she loved them and only them and there wasn't a third guy from a third world out there...

'bad night to be outdoors.' Beric noted the wind whipped around them,

'you got powerful magic figure that out.' Sandor grumbled.

'Its snowing' thoros said bringing his horse up to them as well.

'Your fucking lord of light tell you that?' sandor grumbled. 'Its snowing outside thoros, its windy, its gonna be a cold night!' he barked.

'You are a grouchy old bear... you want some rum?" Beric offered.

'That shits too sweet' sandor said, looking back to Aroura. The falling snow thickly, snowflakes clinging to her eye lashes and falling down her face with every blink.

'Why are you always in such a foul mood?' Thoros questioned.

'Experience' sandor told them. 'Aroura, you're freezing your little ass off.' Sandor told her.

'I am.' She agreed rubbing her hands together.

'These west rose clothes are not as warm as middle earth.' Thorin told her.

'West rose?" Beric questioned.

"Westeros.' Aroura corrected and Thorin nodded.

'these are almost as flimsy as those Elf dresses you looked so pretty in, freezing your ass off in the cave.'

'Stone fucking giants.' Aroura declared and Sandor stared back at her. 'I didn't tell you about them?' aroura questioned.

'nasty shits.' Thorin confirmed and sandor felt out of the loop. Aroura had told him stories but Thorin had been there with her, experienced it all with his Aroura.

'That was snowy and slippery, I thought for sure we were going to lose...' then she remembered, they did lose Kili and Fili.

'I know.' Thorin said reaching over and grabbing her hand. 'they had a damn good adventure though.' Thorin told her. she nodded her eyes too cold for tears, she had sobbed for her friends when she first got to westeros but thorin being back brought back the memories, the good and the painful.

'This seems like a good place to spend the night' Thoros saw an old cabin ahead of them.

'Those people don't want us here' sandor said as he noticed the house. 'we should keep going...'

'Oh, yeah... probably best if we keep going.' Aroura agreed, she knew that house, she shared a knowing look with sandor and now it was Thorin that felt out of the loop. Left out on a secret. He didn't want to share her but what choice did he have? They were fighting something called a white walker before the world burned or turned to ice. There was a mission in this earth and aroura was going to help. Then Thorin and her could figure things out.

'No livestock no smoke coming from the chimney it seems to be abandoned to me.' beric told him.

'I don't like the look of it' sandor said keeping steady on top of the hill.
