"I really don't like fish." Jae was saying as he cooked several fish he had caught. The fish were on a spit over the fire roasting and Jaelix watched them cook with mild disgust. "I'm not complaining though, not really. Any food at this point is something to be thankful for. Do you like them?" He asked Sansa.

"I like fish with lemon and herbs, or as a chowder. I don't know that I've ever eaten them plain like this." She told him. "I'm probably hungry enough that it won't matter all that much at this point."

"Yes, I am sorry about that." Jae said with a slight grimace. They had run out of food the previous day but he had been unwilling to stop and hunt without putting some more distance between them and Winterfell. "We had to keep moving."

"I understand. I'd rather go hungry for a while than ever go back to Ramsay." Sansa said quite honestly.

"Perhaps I should take that as a compliment that a lady such as yourself would rather be subjected to hunger in the wilderness with a foreigner than go back to her highborn life." Jae said with half a smile.

Sansa knew that he meant to flirt with her, to point out that the two of them were alone together without an escort. It was meant as a joke but she could not find the humor in it. Jae had been very kind, however he didn't seem to understand that anyone was preferable to Ramsay.

"My apologies," Jae said, becoming serious again. "I'm sure you didn't feel very highborn living with the likes of him."

"No, I did not." Sansa said, forcing herself not to cry. "I haven't even cared about being highborn in a very long time."

Jae looked surprised at that. "Really? You might have been the sister of the king, part of the royal family had the war ended differently. You can't tell me you didn't want that?"

"I suppose I might have wanted that once. I was going to marry Joffrey and be queen. By the time Rob had been killed I didn't care about being queen or being related to royalty or about being highborn. I only wanted my family back...if you could have your sister back, wouldn't you give it all up, all your wealth, all the status your grandfather's position offers you, would you trade it to have her back?" Sansa asked him.

Jae looked saddened as he thought for a moment. "I would. Though I don't know how well I would adjust to the life of a commoner, I would do it."

Sansa responded with a small smile. "Good." She told him.

"Good?" He asked curiously. "Why is that good?"

"Because people who only care about wealth and power are dangerous. I'd rather not be stuck in the wilderness with a dangerous person."

Jae grinned. "Who said I'm not dangerous? I can be dangerous."

"Why would you wanted to be dangerous?" Sansa asked him, still smiling.

"Because being dangerous makes me more interesting to all the women."

"All the women?" Sansa asked him. "I don't see why should need the interest off all of them."

"I suppose not. At this point I'd be happy with the interest of just one." He said more seriously as he passed her one of the fish that had just finished cooking. "A very lovely red haired woman."

Sansa felt herself blush at his words and she found herself unable to speak.

"This is disgusting, I still hate fish!" Jae said as he took a bite of his food.

Sansa laughed with him as they shared the meal.
