WHENEVER he was basically here the whole time.

[ they take robb the moment he steps off the ship, with grey wind at his heels. it causes a scene, it does, because grey wind is snarling and snapping and more than one uniformed man comes away with ripped flesh and teethmarks on their skin.

and it makes robb uneasy, but he goes with them. he goes with them for the sake of peace, because his behavior reflects all and does a king not try for fairness and resolution before drawing his sword?

it is a mistake.

they muzzle grey wind's great jaws with steel, and lock them both away. robb came down with no weapons, with nothing but the clothes upon his back and he bitterly regrets that now. he could have fought with his weapons, but he'd thought grey wind would be all he needed.

now there is nothing to do but wait, and watch as the room fills with more and more people from the ship, people he recognizes from the broadcasting devices. he buries a hand in grey wind's fur and thinks, we must be the dangerous ones. the ones that cannot be trusted. when the time comes they will release us.

though more and more he thinks of the alternatives, and feels something like fear and anger twisting through his stomach. ]
