[Some time later, when many are taking an hour or two of rest, he sends her another message.]
If you are awake, I can see you now. I will come to you, unless you want Winterfell.
What would be better?
[He thinks to come to her to spare her the effort, and so that she might spend time in a place where she feels at home, instead of someone else's big castle. But he knows her well enough to doubt that she is sleeping, and if she chooses Winterfell, he can do little kindnesses that would be harder or stranger for him to do elsewhere.
He sits in a room, not able to do much. He has something a little like free time, though not the sort he would ever choose. If she has sat down at all in the time since all the trouble started, he would be surprised. He would lose a wager with himself. So, he thinks, it is better if he does what he can for her.]
