i knew, at least. [Carefully side-stepping around Sansa knowing.] who told you?
you'll get them answered. but i'd rather you heard them from my own mouth than read them off this device. [Which is a flimsy excuse, and in the medium comes off harsh, but right now Jon is having a small breakdown.]
the twins? [Of course, the ship.] they did not. no one did.
[Robb curses and drags a hand over his face, trying to calm himself. He had thought he'd respond differently. More king-like. Because where war goes, death follows.
But he finds himself at a loss. He is not sure if he is angry or sad or anything. He is losing himself a little, unable to make up his mind.]
[Finally Robb moves to stand so he can pace through his room and try to properly process all of this. Some gullible part of himself thinks that this is all a lie and maybe some sort of trick the lords of Atroma thought up to increase a certain entertainment value. But why would they lie?]
make haste
[It is all he sends in return. He can't stop his hands from trembling or his mind from racing. Jon is the only one who can explain this now and, to be fair, Robb does not want to be alone now]
[ Well this is a great first time conversation. Allen's not happy to do this, but the honor system of "Rock Paper Scissors" is a strict one. ]
Hello Jon. You don't know me, but I'm Allen Walker, the first mate of the Blue Fish. Nice to meet you.
Anyway, our captain Sokka wants to give Arya a knife made out of a giant tooth, but he wanted me to ask you and Robb if it's okay to give her that, since she's your little sister.
[Oh yeah. He's so thrilled to see that answer. So much for hoping her siblings would have sense not to arm that kid. That was stupid of Allen. Dammit Jon Snow.]

[And somewhat later a second message follows.]
have i died?
[OOC: after this!]

Oh fuck.]
yes.
i'm sorry.

[Robb can't stop his hands from trembling as he types his message.]
where?
text
[He thinks of the last time they were all in Winterfell together, of the snowflakes melting in Robb's hair.]
we need to meet. i'll tell you then.
text
[Robb has read the thing Jon has written but that is all. He is not sure if he wants to meet and he curses at his trembling hands.]
no. i just want my questions answered.

So is it okay?
no subject
[So, yeah, sure, arm the small child. That always works out.]
no subject
[But he made a deal with Sokka, so-]
Alright, good. I'll let Sokka know.
