It took Diana a few seconds to understand her traveling companion's instant and very emotional reaction. But when she heard the name Sansa, she understood everything. Robb was meeting his sister again after a long time and the Amazon knew how much the whereabouts of her family mattered to the former King of the North.

After long minutes, she noticed that the gazes fall on her and meets the Tearful eyes of the Young Wolf. Robb kept one of his arms around the newly arrived sister's shoulders and gently pulls her close by the hand. "Diana, the princess of Themyscira, who brought me back." Hippolyta's daughter was still digesting Robb's pompous presentation to her sister, when she was surprised by a hug from young Stark. "Thank you for saving my brother." The only possible reaction was to match the girl's gesture of gratitude as best she could.

¬_ So, Princess Diana is also a warrior?! – Sansa comments trying to recover from the emotion of the reunion – Arya will freak out when she discovers that her favorite legend is real… She… – Sansa's speech is cut off by her older brother.

_ Yes, Arya... What happened to her? During the war, I got letters from her, but there was nothing about Arya.

_ I saw Arya for the last time on the day of our father's arrest. Somehow, she managed to escape the Red Keep. – Jon and Robb look at each other happily, the story did justice to the personality of the most rebellious girl in the North – And I believe she even managed to leave King's Landing. Brienne found her on the road some time ago... She was in the company of a man, who seemed to protect her. She was fine, but dressed like a boy and with short hair.

_ That makes sense. And Brienne doesn't know where she's gone? – comments Jon, disguising a slight smile at Arya's posture.

_ No, Brienne said that she looked for her for three days and she just disappeared. Again. explains Sansa.

_ Brienne of Tarth, isn't it? A very, very tall woman... I remember her. She showed up with our mother at the war camp. Our mother sent Brienne to escort the Kingslayer to King's Landing in an attempt to free you and Arya. – recalls Robb – Is she here for that?

_ Yes, she arrived in Porto Real on the eve of Joffrey's wedding, but I was already married to Tyrion. So, she couldn't just take me out of there and... - The revelation totally changes Robb's face, who revolts and interrupts his sister's story.

_ Did those cursed ones force you to marry the dwarf? I came to believe that he was the only decent being in that disgraced family... - shouts the Young Wolf.

_ And you are not wrong, Robb. Tyrion is not like the other Lannisters and he tried to protect me from all that... And, he never... We never... It was a sham marriage. – the girl tries to overcome the discomfort of the whole context and explain herself to her brothers.

_ So, what happened in Winterfell? Did Briene help you escape, Sansa? – Jon seeks to advance the subject to find out if they would be in danger of facing retaliation from the new Lords of the North.

_ Yes, she saved me from Ramsay's men... But, I escaped with Theon's help.

_ Theon? So is he still alive? Where? When I get my hands on him... - It's Sansa's turn to interrupt her brother's tantrum.

_ Robb, he was also Ramsay's prisoner, he was tortured for years and...

_ Which is? His suffering doesn't erase that he betrayed our family and invaded our home... That doesn't make Rickon and Bran come back to life, Sansa!

_ He didn't kill Rickon and Bran! – Jon and Robb turn to the new information about the younger brothers – They ran away and… Theon confessed that he couldn't find them. He killed two orphans and burned the bodies so they wouldn't recognize him.

_ They are alive, then?! - asks Jon, having his speech practically corroded by the voracity of the former King of the North

_ He murdered two innocent boys who had nothing to do with his madness just to show he had power? That seems even worse to me... Theon deserves all the evil that has fallen and will fall on him...

_ Robb, try to calm down! – Diana manifests herself for the first time and seeks to calm the oldest of the Starks – Don't let hatred dominate a moment of reunion with hers. – the boy seems to reflect on the Amazon's request for a few moments, while Jon informs Sansa about the chaotic situation in the Night's Watch as well.

With the latest account of the rebellion and his brother's recovery, Robb exchanges a last, lingering hug with Sansa before leaving her at ease in her temporary room at Castle Black. Everyone had a lot of information to assimilate and Sansa was exhausted after so much energy dedicated to the fight for her freedom and the redoubled emotion at meeting not only her brothers, but also a warrior who would have saved them both.

_ Are you sure you don't need anything else? I could ... - Jon tries to make his half-sister feel welcome and safe again among hers.

_ I know, Jon, but you don't have to. The place is very good... – the Commander looks at the young woman and dismisses the attempt at praise – Believe me, I don't need anything else.

¬_ If you want anything, let me know. My chambers are at the door on the right and Robb is just beyond... And I'll ask you to put Brienne and her squire next door. I'll let her rest now...

_ Jon! – He takes a few steps back and faces the new guest – Where are you going?

_ I need to organize some things after the rebellion and ... - she interrupts to clarify his question.

_ No, I didn't mean... What are you going to do now, but what do you intend to do from now on.

_ So, you asked me the wrong question. What will we do? If I don't take care of you, our father's ghost will come back to kill me... He already sent Robb back. – the two laugh softly at the joke with the inexplicable return of the older brother.

_ It was funny. Are you sure it's still you in there? – The Lord of Castle Black rolls his eyes at the provocation, but gives in to the joke – Right. So what are we going to do?

_ I can't stay here anymore. Not after everything that's happened. – he thinks about the oath and literally his heart had already stopped due to the Night's Watch. In a way, he no longer felt bound by the oaths of an order that put an end to his existence. Even if for seconds.

_ There is only one place for us to return. Our home. quotes Sansa.

_ So, should we go there and tell the Boltons to leave?

_ No, we recovered our house.

_ Sansa, we don't have an army... And, we will do as Princess Diana proposed: we will not let regretful matters dominate a moment of happy reunion.

The young woman takes a deep breath and gives in to Jon's request for a little more time to assimilate so much. She nods in agreement and Jon comes over to say goodbye with a tender kiss on her cheek before closing the door. She wasn't the only one who would need to deal with some demons, after all. Jon was still Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, anyway. At least, for now.

Robb and Diana return to the courtyard of Castle Black and contemplate the training exercises of the Night's Watch recruits. This time, the exercise received reinforcement from a still unknown young man, but who had already counted on the eternal gratitude of the Young Wolf. Brienne was already finishing adjusting her belongings in the place occupied by the Watch and recommended that the squire take the opportunity to learn even more about the handling of swords, shields and spears.

_ In Winterfell, my brothers and I used to spend hours and hours practicing like this. My father demanded that everyone learn from a very early age. – Robb opened a wistful smile as he remembered the lessons and games with the wooden swords.

_ You mentioned only your brothers. Weren't your sisters taught to fight? Diana looks at him with a curious expression.

_ Diana, you definitely need to meet Arya! – he says smiling, but returns to presenting a more serene face in an attempt to explain the customs of Westeros and, above all, of the North – I think Sansa would not like these subjects, but Arya always tried to snoop on our lessons.

_ You think? Does that mean you never asked her? Diana crosses her arms with an angry expression and Robb feels a slight urge to laugh at this new side of her.

_ My father never asked if the girls wanted to learn to fight, but I don't remember having seen him forbid Arya to be involved with our training. - he explains - Diana, these are the customs of Westeros... A girl is not expected to be interested in swords, horses and fights. – she looks at him even more irritated – I said it's custom, I didn't say it's fair.

_ And they are not! Not forbidding someone to do something is far from being an incentive.

_ You are right. Some of our customs are stupid. But, this doesn't just happen in Westeros, it happens everywhere. – he tries to explain some strange concepts to someone who has only lived on Paradise Island.

_ So, we must start to overthrow these customs little by little. - Diana abandons the irritable mood and smiles discreetly when suggesting such a drastic break with the world he has always known in a stupidly simple way. And, he let himself be infected by the feeling of good hope. At least, for now.
