Two steps away || Robb&Theon
That day was not more special than any other, but somehow it strangely felt different. It was mayhaps because they were relatively close to the sea, even though Lord Eddard had strictly and expressely forbidden to get any closer to the coast or the forest.
The ward could understand the motives, since they were supposed to be around on The Dreadfort and keep their attention focused on the deals and alliances the two houses were about to sign. And yet he couldn't help but wanting to disobey. He almost needed that. Hearing the sound of the waves, feeling the wind blowing against his skin. Theon could almost smell the salt just by imagining everything.
"We could do it, you know?" He suggested, giving the wolf a quick gaze before continuing "No one will notice we're gone, and it's not that far from here." It was a harmless lie, either Robb and himself knew that they would find out if they went away, but he hardly doubted that anyone would make a drama out of it. "We would be back by dawn."
