2nd Battle | VIDEO

[robb]

[ he may as well use this damn network for research. ]

If you were to take loyalties to a king, what kind of king would you want them to be? Would you think better if they were harsh or if they were wise? What sort of person would you lend your allegiances too?

[ It's a general topic. he's curious to hear the opinions of people around him. he seems less rigid than when he first arrived. the break from all the battles has done well on him. he's not uneasy and robb speaks with a warm confidence. ]

Do you wish to be a king?

( VIDEO )

[robb]

[ ⎯No, is what he thinks. He cannot say this aloud, never. It was never his choice, never his duty - but he wouldn't stand for it if he things let stand as they are. He wants to remember what it's like to be young and free, to walk without the weight of crowns upon his back and to know what it is laugh (she gives you that, robb - he thinks for a moment. ) but in all truths. No. But he knows he's needed. He knows that in that brief occasion, he's the only who could have risen as he did. ]

- I am a King.

[ He admits. Perhaps his pride has faltered. ]

[somnolent]

Already?

[ he nearly thinks that this man seems young to be a king. but there have been younger rulers. ]

To be a king is to be in a position of that name.

[robb]

[ Robb is young. uncomfortably young. Not as young as Joffrey but for the most parts he's still a boy. ]

[ That takes him a few moments back. ]

I will be.

[ Robb also believes in honesty. ]

May I confide, ser?

[ FILTERS HOW DO YOU DO DO THEM. ]

[somnolent]

[ Dream considers this man: young (though almost all are young to him), questioning, and his wish to be a good king.

it isn't really a winning combination. ]

Yes.

[ he doesn't... seem to see the need for filters. he just waits for robb to continue. ]

[robb]

Your question, you had asked if I had wished to be king.

[ a beat. ]

I did not wish for such. But that is the duties given to me.

[somnolent]

There are few duties which you cannot avoid.

[robb]

And those are words of a king. Are you the same, ser?

[somnolent]

A king? [ he pauses. ]

I once was, and if I return, I suppose I will be for some time.

[robb]

Return, ser? You left your kingdom?

[somnolent]

You have as well, since you are here.

[robb]

But time halts in our realm when we are brought here, is it not? - I did not wish to leave my men.

[somnolent]

That is true, but I have left it all the same.

I had departed once, previously, and at that point I did not wish to do so.

[robb]

What caused you to leave your kingdom, ser?

[somnolent]

An event that I could not have prevented.

[ In other words, it was awkward he doesn't want to talk about it. ]

It was some sixty years before I returned.

[robb]

How are you sixty? You do not look so old.

[ Robb doesn't inquire further. ]

[somnolent]

I have long since passed that age.

[ waaaaaay long. ]

You are young, Robb Stark.

[robb]

How old are you, Ser?

[somnolent]

Is this asked from curiosity?

[robb]

Why else would I ask?

[somnolent]

You are a king. Do you not know?
