Blood upon the snow (game of thrones)

Chapter 4: Apologies

"Nymeria, fetch!"

Rob and i sat around idly waiting for Aryas hound to listen to her commands. "Nymeria, fetch!" Arya repeated. Rob gave me a grin as the wolf stayed put, tilting her head in confusion. "I do not need a wolf to help me pack, thank you" i said getting quite bored of waiting for a result.

Arya sighed angrily as she sank onto my bed. "I swear she did it once!" she exclaimed. "Of course. And Grey Wind flew to Kingslanding" Rob jested. I chuckled at his comment as Arya gave him a scowl.

My father requested that just my sisters and i were to leave for Kingslanding with him whilst my brothers stayed here. I couldn't say i agreed with the idea but the thought of vaunting my new dresses was appealing.

Suddenly, our fun was interrupted by a knock on my door. "Go away" i shouted barley paying attention. "No, no" Rob interrupted. "Come in."

I turned to see Jon walk inside with his head hung low. A scowl was written across my face once i saw him. "I told him to come. You must talk before you both take your leave" Robb said.

I crossed my arms and nodded. "Speak then" i spat. Jon was obviously irritated with me too, but i was not going to apologise first. Jon looked to Robb who simply shrugged. Stubborn bastard.

"I'm sorry for our argument" he mumbled. "I'm sorry? I did not hear that?" i said. Arya and Robb made some discreet whispers of excitement. They knew that Jon and i were both as headstrong as each other.

"I apologise! Do you forgive me or not!" he exclaimed. I hesitated. I didn't like how he raised his voice but he did apologise. "Fine" i said going back to my packing. Jon cursed under his breath as Robb slowly yet cautiously approached me.

"Sara... Do you wish to say anything to Jon?" he asked. I shook my head. "Sara" he said more sternly. "I did not do anything!" "You told me to go freeze my balls off'" Jon shouted.

"Maybe you should!"

"Maybe you should go marry Jaime Lannister and have many of his Lannister children!"

"Maybe you should go to the Wall and jump off of it! It will finally give us all a break from your constant winging!"

"Alright!" Robb interrupted. "Gods be good Sara, make your apologies and be good to one another. We don't know when you two will see each other next."

I bit my tongue, hating that he was right. "Fine... My apologies. I do not wish for you to jump from the wall... I don't wish for you to go to the wall at all" i said. "Me too" Arya butted in.

Jons eyes softened. "I know. But it will be good. And i will visit" Jon said. "It will not be the same, Snow. Who shall i duel with?" Robb asked. This surprisingly made Jon smile. A smile we so rarely see.

"Must you truly leave?" i asked. His smile quickly faded. "The Wall is for bastards, Winterfell is not. I will make new brothers there, but that will not replace my sisters" he said. This eased my nerves. Robb waved his hands in the air waiting to be included. "Or you Robb."

Robb laughed as he embraced Jon tightly. "Now, stop distracting me. I must pack" i snapped playfully. Robb elbowed Jon, wanting him to witness his foul attempt at a jest.

"So whilst you are gone Sara, do you wish for me to care for Meera?" Robb asked. I swung my head around. "Meera will be in no need of your company brother. She is coming to Kingslanding with me."
