Kienna

I was growing increasingly frustrated with everyone in Winterfell. No one would let me get up from bed or stretch my legs. They all insisted on me resting and stuffing me full of food. I was growing tired of eating and resting. 

"Kienna?" Bran's voice called. I looked up. 

"I'm sorry, Bran," I shook my head slightly and sat up in bed. "My mind is in other places." Bran nodded and gave me a small smile.

"I was telling you about the saddle," Bran explained with patience. 

"Oh yes!" I exclaimed. "How was it to ride again?"

"Fantastic!" Bran smiled. "It was almost like before I fell." Bran's eyes looked down. I gently put a hand on his shoudler.

"Even without legs you will be a great man," I told him softly. "I can tell. You are destined for something great." Bran's lips slowly turned into the sweet smile I had missed. "At least you can ride!" I laughed. "No one will let me do a thing around here!" Bran laughed.

"Perhaps I can call Hodor and we can go into the gardens?" Bran suggested. I nodded giddily and began to rise from bed. 

"We can do anything!" I exclaimed. "Just as long as I can stretch and get some fresh air."

After walking with Bran for about an hour around Winterfell, I began to feel fatigued. Bran had Hodor take him back to his room, insisting he had to finish a book he was reading. I wandered about the castle for a while longer before eventually heading for the great hall.

I didn't care if I was spotted. None of the servants would likely be brave enough to send me back to my room and at most they would tell Robb. I thought I could handle him so I didn't hesitate.

I came across Robb and Theon immediately. Robb said something to Maester Luwin and he walked away with an intent face. I stood back for a moment.

Robb seemed to raise his hand to Theon. I could see he was visibly shaking. I came out then, knowing there was little that would make Robb shake.

"Robb?" I asked. The two looked up and Robb dropped his hand immediately.

"Kienna?" Robb stood from the table to walk towards me. "What are you doing up? Maester Luwin said you should rest for a while longer."

"You can't keep me locked away forever!" I smiled at him. Robb seemed to relax a little. I then noticed the letter on the table. "What's that?"

"A letter from Sansa," Theon answered. I walked over and picked it up. 

I had to read over the words twice in disbelief. Sansa would never say things like this. She talked about her father's treason and Robb needing to swear fealty to Joffrey.

"Sansa didn't write this letter," I said, tossing the script down in disgust.

"Yes," Theon agreed. "The Queen put those words in Sansa's writing."
