Before any more of you embarass yourselves by calling and hounding me about Greyjoy's disappearance, I've no idea where he's got to either.

He's probably fallen in a river and gotten himself drowned. Good riddance.


[Honestly, he's trying to prove that he's a Changed Man and how can he do that with Theon just vanishing???? This is why Theon is the worst and deserves everything he gets.

Also hi, did you know he was awake again? He's awake again.]

I've turned over a new leaf. I can see that flaying and dismemberment aren't the way of this world and so I'll do what I must to become a part of it.

It doesn't mean I need to lie about what a little prick Theon is.

[unprays]

It only took you two deaths to see that? How quick you are to learn, my lord.

And Theon is thousand times a better man than you are. Perhaps that is why you dislike him so.

He hates text-- he wants to hear her, and for her to hear him.

Have you already forgiven him for what he did to your family, Sansa? Without him, Winterfell would never have fallen to the Ironborn. King Robb would never have died. Your younger brothers never would have had to flee into the wilderness. [He doesn't believe her, says his tone. He can't doubt himself next to fucking Reek.] I know Reek better than any man alive. I did the world a favour, making him out of Theon Greyjoy.

And without him, I'd never have escaped Winterfell. Without him, I'd never have met Lady Brienne, or have made it to the Wall. Without Theon Greyjoy, we'd never have taken the North and House Bolton would still exist.

[ perhaps it's a weakness, giving in to the way he changes the text to voice, but she's no longer someone to back away from a challenge. and she needs him to hear her, too. needs him to hear the way her voice doesn't shake or shatter. it's the same voice that spoke him of Tommen Baratheon, another bastard, yet different: stronger. steadier.

Theon made mistakes, and he paid for them. That is justice, isn't it? You hurt people... and you pay for it. I'd think you're familiar with how that goes.

asdlkfs omg sorry about the html on my last tag ALSO warnings for Ramsay and violent thoughts/words

[veneries]

[It's a surprise, the way she pushes back (it shouldn't be. she's done it before)

it sparks dark feelings in him, anger and possessiveness. Ramsay's always enjoyed a challenge (it's why hunting people was so much better than hunting beasts) he hears her confidence and he wants to own it; wants to break it into pieces.]

Justice. [Scornfully.] You didn't feed me to my hounds for justice, Sansa. You did it because you wanted to. For the same reason I broke Theon Greyjoy.

[There was no justice in the world. It was a tale mothers told their children; the one priests told the weak to keep them from slitting their own throats. It was what a Lord told his subjects to keep them from rebelling. There was only strength and those who pursued what they wanted with enough determination.]

jdhfhdjfh NO WORRIES also isnt ramsay like his own warning... already...

[unprays]

[ it's easier, like this. she can't see him, and though his voice jars her to hear, unsettles her like the howling of wolves never did and should have, she isn't shaken. she knows now, how she can stand up to him, how little power he has over her, here.

it's a dangerous game to play, but in her eyes, it would be far more dangerous not to. ]

I fed you to your hounds because you deserved it. It was a fitting end. A proper execution, a sentence and a sword, that would have been too honourable an end for you. [ had he said it outright, she might have been horrified to find that she agreed: there was no justice in the world, none but for what they made for themselves. if there was no justice, she would make her own justice. ]

[veneries]

[Ramsay feels as strongly about honour as he does justice. He scoffs.] Let's not talk of what we deserve, Sansa. I must keep some surprises for when you're back in my bed.

[He sounds as though he completely believes that to be a possibility.]

[unprays]

When?

[ she actually breathes a laugh, as though she's genuinely amused. ]

I never thought being stupid as being a part of your particular faults of character, my lord, but clearly I was mistaken. Perhaps that is why your father decided to have a legitimate heir instead, so as not to be saddled with a stupid heir to rule after him.
