Your father will always have a place in my heart, but these are my brothers now." He gestured with his dagger at the men around them, all the hard cold men in black.Thanks Goose. We put aside our old families when we swear our vows. If you thought your Stark blood would win you easy favors, you were wrong. "A boy you are, and a boy you'll remain until Ser Alliser says you are fit to be a man of the Night's Watch. Go with him, Todder, that head wants looking after. The armorer gave the offered wrist the briefest of glances. "How often must I tell you no, Jon? We'll speak when I return." Ben Stark smiled at that, but he had no smile for his nephew. One of his rangers, a big ugly man, sang a bawdy song as he saddled his garron, his breath steaming in the cold morning air. Jon rose at dawn the next day to watch his uncle leave. "He broke my wrist," Grenn said again, holding it out to Noye for inspection. He'd beaten every one of them in the yard. ![]() All four of them were bigger than he was, but they did not scare him. "I'll break the other one for you if you ask nicely." Grenn was sixteen and a head taller than Jon. Jon sat heavily on the long wooden bench as the others left, oblivious to the looks they gave him, the silent promises of future retribution. "Try."

Arya never seemed to fit, no more than he had yet she could always make Jon smile. And Arya he missed her even more than Robb, skinny little thing that she was, all scraped knees and tangled hair and torn clothes, so fierce and willful. He missed the girls too, even Sansa, who never called him anything but "my half brother" since she was old enough to understand what bastard meant. He missed his true brothers: little Rickon, bright eyes shining as he begged for a sweet Robb, his rival and best friend and constant companion Bran, stubborn and curious, always wanting to follow and join in whatever Jon and Robb were doing. What was he becoming? Afterward he sought out Ghost in the loneliness of his cell, and buried his face in his thick white fur.
