[ a wolf never does well inside a cage, a direwolf even less so.
where a wolf would thrash and snarl against the bars trapping it, robb remains calm. eerily so. he wears the mask of the lord, hiding his disquiet and distrust, refusing all food and drink for there is little that binds these people to the guest right of his lands. the food could be laced with poison, as too the drink.
so the feasting is ignored and the young wolf searches instead. searches for any who bare the familiar look or sound of westeros, searches for the faces of his family or friends. for his mother and sisters and little brothers, as selfish as such a hope feels.
it is her dress that draws his eye, simple yet familiar in the manner of it's making (for a second he thinks he sees someone familiar.) so he approaches, expression softening to prevent scaring the girl. it is likely she has been stolen from her home the same as robb, he does not wish to cause her more stress than she must already be suffering. ]
My lady. [ a simple greeting with a short bow of his head. robb may not be wearing his crown, but he is a king still and it shows in his mannerisms. ] I would ask you a question, if you would permit it.
