Robb stood across the hall, one hand reaching for his sword, the other for you. But you were already being pulled away, shoved aside as Frey men rose from benches and began to cut down the Northern bannermen in cold, drunken chaos.

“GET TO HER!” he yelled to Grey Wind—already dying—before he met your eyes one last time. “Run, love. RUN!”
