    Those wolves, they took all they could by

    Summary

    "Forgive me, for I am not acting myself, but these bees in my breath have to come out." - Bear's Den, 'Bad Blood'.

    Pain is an old friend to Sandor, and anger has been his ally for as long as he can recall. Stark’s not nearly angry enough. And he’ll never know half of the pain Sandor has. The new Hand takes the boy’s wrapped corpse in his arms, and goes, hunched slightly by the weight of it. He was tall for his age, the butcher’s boy. Fast, too. Sandor heard he was playing at swords when Joffrey came upon them. He might have made a halfway decent knight. Or not. After all, he wasn’t fast enough.

    He takes off his helm, dismisses his men, and as he rides back towards the stables, he sees her. The bastard girl is watching him, her hands in tight fists at her sides, face wet with tears. And her mouth contorts in a hateful snarl as she watches him go. Most girls of fourteen don’t look at him like that. They don’t look at him at all; they study the ground, avert their eyes, or grimace and duck their heads.

    This one is just an older image of the youngest, the wolf girl whose bitch started all of this. Now the little bird’s lost her own pup, and the Snow looks close to baying for his blood.
