RIVERLANDS

Robb, Hanir, Rohar, Catelyn, Elizabeth, and Talisa are gathered in Robb's tent as a storm rages on outside. Ghost is laying down beside the table

Bryden: That rain will cost us another day.

Elizabeth: Frey will wait. He knows we're coming.

Rohar rolls his eyes, mumbling under his breath.

Catelyn: Lord Walder is prickly by nature

Hanir: No, he's a cunt. There's a difference.

Bryden: Might be the least pleasant man I've ever met

Rohar: There was a reason father hated him.

Hanir: I've seen wet shits I liked better then Walder Frey.

Elizabeth, Bryden, and Rohar laughs as Rohar takes a drink from his cup.

Talisa: I'm not afraid of wet shits.

Catelyn: Lord Frey will take this delay as a slight.

Rohar: He can take it as he likes. He's getting the wedding he wanted. He's getting what he wanted.

Edmure(smirks): Whore

Ghost lets out a bark

Edmure: Even the Direwolf agrees with me. You're a whore

Rohar: Ah shut it.

Catelyn: He's getting a wedding. It was a king he wanted

Rohar: I'll try not to be offended, my lady.

Robb: Rohar is the best match a Frey has had in the history of their house.

Hanir: We should all get some sleep

Elizabeth stands up, clicks her tongue and Ghost leaps up and follows her out of the tent. Rohar stands up and nods

Rohar: My Lady. Robb

He walks out of the tent as Edmure walks out shortly after him. Catelyn kisses Hanir on the cheek and walks out.

EN ROUTE TO THE NORTH

Karron and Kari are standing on the edge of a small cliff looking out at ruins in the distance.

Kari: What is those ruins?

Karron: Backton's Keep. Once seat of House Gaston, now reduced to ruins.

Kari's eyes widens in disbelief

Karron: I've been here once.

Kari: Do you miss it?

Karron: King's Landing? No I don't

Kari: Your father?

Karron: Never had a father. Never wanted one.

Kari: You do not know who your father is?

Karron: I'm lowborn. My mother was a taven wrench.

Kari: So was mine once.

Karron: My mother gave birth to me in Flea Bottom. My blood is noble.

Kari: Are you saying your father-----was some lord or---

Karron: My father was Robert Baratheon. I'm a bastard.

Kari: The bastard of Robert of House Baratheon. Is that why the Gold Cloaks wanted you?

Karron: Apparently so.

Kari places her hand on his cheek, he leans into her touch as she presses her lips to his in a soft passionate kiss

HOLLOW HILL

Talana sits with her knees against her chest away from the fire

Beric: Come sit by the fire, my lady.

Thoros: Not talking, eh? That's a first.

Talana: I don't talk to traitors.

Beric: I didn't like giving up the boy's location.

Talana: But you did. You took the gold and gave him up.

Beric: The Red God is the one true god. You've seen his power. When he commands, we obey.

Talana: He's not my one true god.

Beric: No? Who's yours?

Talana turns her head and stares at him

Talana: Death.

LATER

Talana sneaks out of the cave into the dark forest, running though the woods when a hand is clasped over her mouth

Jorah: Shh. Shh, it's me.

Talana: Ser Jorah?

He pulls her behind a pair of trees watching at the torches in the distance

Talana: Where are we going?

He pushes her ahead of her as they run off into the darkness.
