"Why are you speaking about failing, King Gariss. We have the Gods on our side, the battle between Rickon and Lord Reed proved that, didn't it?"
He paused.
"If you fall, then I will fall with you. That is the way of the North, we stand by each other, we do not turn on each other and run, like those in the south"

Gariss only chuckled. "A wise man once told me: "Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.' I suppose that is all we can do, do you agree, Karlon?"

"Of course, King Gariss. Though I don't really like to be tossed aside like a small child."

Gariss frowned. "You misunderstand my intention, Karlon. We leave in the morning regardless."

As Karlon turned to leave, Gariss said, lightly. "I would be honoured to die fighting at your side, never forget."

"I hope it'll never come to that, my King. I do not wish to die, but if the Old Gods will it, then so be it. I will go and see that your horse is taken care of properly, these city folk are totally useless when it comes to that, I've noticed."

He is admitted, alone, in the presence of Brandon Cerwyn, Ben Umber and Gariss himself.

Hendleton enters, a pothelm on his head but unarmed. He bows jerkily, keeping one hand on his helm to keep it from sliding from his head.
"Y'grace," Frey number eighteen says, "Requesting permission to lead my men back to the Twins and take command of the host there. An extra fifteen hundred won't do you too much here, but could mean life or death for us when Rodrick tries to cross the trident."

"Of course, Ser Hendleton, I would not keep your men against their will. The Twins are strong, and will prove a great shield in the times to come."

"Yes, your Grace," Hendleton salutes smartly. "We'll leave at once, then. Give that Baratheon nancy boy hell."

Hope you all are well and happy.
