"It was all my fault. Mine alone."
Jon declares this immediately when the door is shut behind them. He kept silent all the way from the stables just like Catelyn.
She would like to believe him – it would be so much easier if she could believe him –, but she knows better. She knows Jon better. And the girl too.
"You're lying."
"I am not." He glances at her, and surrenders. "Sorry."
"How many times have you already done that same mistake?"
"Twice. First on my nameday. She said it was a gift. Then the day after. And this morning."
His face, his eyes… are full of shame and guilt. To Catelyn's satisfaction. At least, he feels and understands the weight of his actions.
Kissing a girl… there is nothing bad about that. Usually.
Kissing their own steward's daughter, however, can have consequences.
If anyone else steps in that stable… Although, Ghost and Storm hardly would have allowed anyone there, but, of course, they did not stop her.
"It cannot happen again."
He does not respond immediately, but it does not matter. Only one answer can be acceptable and they both know it.
"It won't, Lady Catelyn."
