Note: Short chapter. 

Everybody was getting ready for the upcoming war. Gendry had made an axe for Sandor and a sword for Maliya. Arya and Maliya practiced sword fighting, they were both good with a sword.

As the sun began to set, people started to sit and talk with their friends. Maliya sat with Sandor at the top of the rampart, Maliya looked to the sky and Sandor drank wine. Arya arrived and sat next to Maliya.

"You two used to not shut up and now you don't even talk," points out Sandor.

"We've changed," says Arya.

"You have Maliya still enjoys talking," says Sandor.

Maliya chuckles.

"What are you two doing here?' asked Arya.

"What does it look like," says Sandor.

"No, I meant what are you doing here in the North, with the Brotherhood without Banners?" asks Arya.

"You left me to die," says Sandor.

"Maliya stayed with you, she told me you found a community," points out Arya.

"Aye but you stole my silver," says Sandor.

"You didn't need it," says Arya.

Sandor didn't say anything, this was not the time to be whinging about past events.

"I have been looking for your all over," says Tormund.

"I was with my father," answers Maliya with a smile.

"I'm leaving, see you at the battle," says Arya leaving.

Tormund sits where Arya had sat. He slugged at his sour goats' milk.

"Would you like some?" offered Tormund.

Maliya looked at the horn in his hand, she reached to take the drink.

"You won't like it," warns Sandor.

Maliya took the drink from Tormund's hand and took a drink. She started coughing and gagging.

"What is that?" asks Maliya.

"Sour goat milk," answers Tormund.

Maliya crunches her nose in disgust. Sandor chuckled and handed her his wine skin. Maliya looked at Sandor with doubt in her eyes asking if the drink tasted as disgusting as the previous.

"It's wine," says Sandor.

Maliya take a drink and smiles. Tormund laughs.

"Stick to your sweet wine girl," says Tormund mockingly.

Sandor took a swing at his wine, "I've never liked your sour milk shit," he says.

Tormund says nothing keeps drinking form his horn.

"Did I ever tell you of with they call me Gianstbane?" asked Tormund.

"No," says Maliya.

"I killed a giant when I was 10. Then I climbed right into bed with his wife. When she woke up, you know what she did? Suckled me at her teat for three months. Thought I was her baby. That's how I got so strong: giant's milk." Says Tormund.

Both Sandor and Maliya looked at the ginger surprised.

"Don't worry our babes will grow tall and strong through the sweet milk of your teats," says Tormund.

Sandor stands to punch the ginger in his face. However, he was stopped by the sound of the horn being blown, signaling the Wight walkers were coming. 

Note: the giant's milk story belongs to the show.
