Truths

Adaya was, once again, on horseback, riding next to Talisa as the two women rode alongside the northern army, Greywind trotting protectively by the side of the Queen. The two woman laughed and smiled as they told stories of their childhoods to one another, Lyanna watching the two curiously.

Robb, meanwhile, sat on his horse with Rickard Karstark to the one side of him. He smiled as he saw his wife and daughter on the rode; Adaya seemed to be enjoying herself for the first time since she found out about her family.

"We're at war." Lord Karstark spoke up, bringing Robb out of his thoughts. "This march is a distraction."

Robb sighed, not facing the man but looking away from his bride. "My grandfather's funeral is not a distraction."

"Are we riding to battle at Riverrun?"

"No."

"Then it's a distraction." Karstark said smugly, causing Robb to sigh again.

"My Uncle Edmure has his forces garrisoned there." The young kid said. "We need his men."

"Unless he's been breeding them, he don't have enough to make a difference."

Robb, finally, turned to face the lord to his right. "Have you lost faith in our cause?"

The man just shrugged. "If it's revenge, i still got faith in it."

"If you no longer believe-"

The lord cut his king off, not caring at all. "I can believe till it snows in Dorne. Don't change the fact that we've got half the men."

"You don't think we can win?" The Stark king said, shocked by the words coming out of his bannerman's mouth.

"May I speak my mind, Your Grace?"

"Have you not been speaking your mind, Lord Karstark?"

"I think you lost the war the day you let Theon Greyjoy slip through your fingers."

"What are you talking about?" Robb asked curiously.

"Theon Greyjoy took Winterfell and probably killed your brothers." The lord said. "The boy we promised to Lord Frey. Now...we have nothing. And believe me when I say that Lord Frey will not be happy."
