I will not take part in the argument between my brother Robb, who is called the King in the North, and Queen Cersei Lannister, who is the mother of Joffrey Baratheon, the King on the Iron Throne.

That satisfies my vow, as King Stannis reminded me.

[A pause. Jon is still kind of bad at this talking in public thing, so give the kid a break. Not a huge one, just a little break. Ghost is sitting beside him, yawning.]

Months ago, the ranger Strider and I went into the depths of the ship, hoping to find some trace of those who are lost or missing. Ghost went alongside us, but we found nothing, which I am sure is not surprising to any. We returned before the jump, but then Strider was gone, so he could not speak of this trip himself. I have been, since that time, occupied with matters of family aboard, and have not had the time to discuss this.

Has anyone else ranged into the ship?

[And a pause]

Also, the howling that has been coming from the Gardens - I spotted a direwolf there, but it fled from Ghost. I would keep caution, going there. They are dangerous things that can easily kill a man and think little of the act.

I have.

[ Robb asked her to look after his siblings, so time to start talking to them. She's got her wolf earrings in today; a silver howling wolf, a black stone, and then silver cut to look like a feather. ]

[Jon has seen her before, over the device, but not spoken to her]</small. What have you found?

[ She wants to ask of this vow that prevents him for taking a side in disputes; it must be a difficult thing. Impossible to imagine for her, being a Borgia. Family comes first, before everything.

She says nothing of the sort, of course. ]

The wolf chose a beautiful place to roam at. It is a pity I cannot travel to the Gardens, the view gave me much joy. But I shall not fault it for choosing the spot, it is a clever choice.

Would you like me to take you, Lucrezia?

No dice, pal. I walked as much as I could, nothing showed.

She's under control.
The wolf in the gardens.

Whose control?

[sweetmotherofgod]

So the wolf doesn't belong to one of your lot? Because if it comes after me or one of my team I'm going to shoot it.

video;

[wolfinthesnow]

Don't shoot it.

[Jon says that firmly]

I don't know yet. I've only heard it, and seen it briefly.

[ Baiting Stannis? Jon Snow, what're you doing.

Nevertheless, the message isn't coming from inside the room—Ygritte is out somewhere, doing something. ]

How deep into the ship are y' speaking of? I went on a tour of it with Jack Kelly b'fore, but wouldn't call it ranging, exactly.

And I heard the howling as well in the gardens, but didn't see a direwolf. Y' think it's one of your family's?

[Being passive aggressive]

We were gone for some days. And as for the wolf - I'm sure it must be.

[He knows it is, now.]

[handelaar]

A what wolf.

[He's side-eyeing the hell out of Ghost lazing around in that video. Please don't say it's one of those, man.



What do you mean lives under a rock.]

voice;

[wolfinthesnow]

A direwolf. They are larger than most wolves.

Like Ghost.

[He aims the camera over]

[bruxisms]

[ well... first, you get a video of a very unimpressed Stannis, in what might be described as "one of his threatening beheading moods".

and then a text. ]

LORD COMMANDER SNOW.

[ this time, the capslock might be intentional. ]

Your grace, the video function may be better, if I may humbly suggest it.

Thank you for searching for him, Jon Snow.
[ frodo looks a bit relieved if not saddened by the news. strange mix of emotions, but at least he knows for certain that aragorn is home. he wonders if he should tell bran's brother, this jon snow the same thing. that this man who was a ranger as well was not only that but a king. ]

[wolfinthesnow]

He was my friend as well, Frodo.

I've done my share of frequent wanderin' when stuff's not goin' on.

Haven't found much.

No people, I'll wager.

You needn't explain yourself.

[ stark family problems, man. ]

Stannis demands much of you.

locked;

[wolfinthesnow]

He does. His devotion to my vows are stronger than any man of the Night's Watch.

[unsoldiered]

[Whoops, another one of the 'I looked far' brigade.]

I've been going through the hallways a lot. Not even so much as a sign of life, as far as I could see; this place is so damn big... I dunno how long it'd take to search it all.

[audio]

[wolfinthesnow]

A long stretch, longer than it would take for you to go forth and come back before the jump.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He coughs.]

Er-- it might not have been a direwolf howling. There are rather a lot of, ah, supernatural creatures on board.

[wolfinthesnow]

Such as?

This Stannis tool kinda sounds like a jackass.

[ SHE'S ONLY SAYING. ]

What's his issue with you helping out your brother?

[wolfinthesnow]

[OH FAITH this is why you are his favorite]

My brother is King in the North, and his feud with Queen Cersei is a matter of the realm. I have sworn to not involve myself in matters of the realm.

A girl

[ She writes it, then deletes it a moment later, and switches to voice. ]

I explored some.

You knew Strider too?

[locked]

[wolfinthesnow]

I did. He was my friend, he thought perhaps we were of the same place, in some manner.

[voice]

[wolfdreamer]

There is another direwolf? [A beat, and then he adds, suspiciously:] Are you certain it wasn't Shaggydog?

[Because look everyone can agree Rickon is wild so it might totally be Shaggydog....]

[voice] [locked]

[wolfinthesnow]

I'm told it's Nymeria.
