*Lira lowkey wondering if sheâs the only Grimport without some kind of dark secret/backstory at this point*
I never really thought that far into the Robyn/Benjen stuff like who the father was or anything, but he was probably just a guard or something. I came up with it very early after @peggyoung made Benjen, though.
I donât think even @priincelyrot knew about this, haha
Why do you think Rob chose to pass Ben as another Grimport sibling? And how did they manage to hide her pregnancy/Jannaâs lack of it?
The answer to the first question is simply pride - if word got out that she had mothered a bastard then her reputation would fall significantly, as well as that of the house and, more importantly, Ben. As a bastard he would be judged throughout his entire life and would never get to live ânormallyâ, so Robyn had to make it so that heâd have the best quality of life possible. Also she doubted her own parental abilities, so it was best to hand the kid off to her own parents who had already raised five of their own.
As for the pregnancy, I want to say that as soon as she started showing, she approached Janna and asked her to make a show with Kjar to indicate she was pregnant, then the two of them went on a trip to the Burleysâ keep or something until the baby arrived.
