"If there is to be wolf blood, I'm grateful it isn't both of them." Eddard was difficult to tame, adding Brandon as well would only make her days more difficult and sleep more elusive. The silence never lasted long and the cries would come again. She relished each minute that he was soothed or asleep. "Brandon is like me. He is quiet and uncomplaining."
The words were more poignant than she intended. What was she to do in this instance save for accepting how their lives had gone. He was wed now. She couldn't hope for more than this, a stolen moment and a brief reunion.
"It doesn't matter. You fulfilled your oath." She looked away, brushing Eddard's wispy hair from his face. It was beginning to curl at the ends. Soon he would look exactly like his father. "I take no comfort in your misery. I only wish you could find happiness with her."
There was a small smile on her face, recalling the rumors. "They say also you ride a wolf into battle."
