Chapter 107 - Robb and the Free Folk (II)
"The world really is full of surprises." Robb Stark, watching the giant.

Robb couldn't help but take a deep breath at the sight of the gigantic Wall. He had heard the stories, but seeing it in person was something completely different. Just imagining that his ancestor had built such a masterpiece was enough to fill the heir to Winterfell with pride.
"Incredible! I want to see the view from the top!"
The grandiose feeling Robb was experiencing disappeared the moment he looked down and saw Arya riding beside him.
"When we get back to Winterfell, you're going to spend a whole month locked up in a tower. And I personally will make sure that Septa teaches you to sew and indoctrinates you for days!"
Robb gave Arya a stern look. If he didn't discipline his sister now, she might gain even more courage to run away from home in the future.
Arya's smile had never faded so quickly. She looked at her brother with a pleading look. To be forced to learn to sew and listen to the Seven preach? She would rather throw herself from the tower and end her suffering once and for all. That wouldn't be a lesson, but a real mental torture session!
Seeing her desperate expression, Robb nodded, satisfied. He just wanted to make sure that Arya understood that running away from home was not an option, especially for a girl.
"Arya, never run away from home again. This world isn't kind to girls."
He stroked his sister's hair and spoke in a gentle tone. How many times had he seen his father cut off the heads of rapists? Dozens of times. Just imagining something like that happening to Arya made his mood darken.
