‘ SHE DIDN’T WISH TO LET GO. alina loved her big brother so much, had always idolized and adored him. she giggled as she let down to the ground, but took his hand, lovingly. “ah, but i MISSED you a great deal more.” alina twirled in her pretty little dress and smiled. “you think so? father bought me a new dress to show off to, to the starks. he says he wishes to marry me off to robb stark. wouldn’t that be lovely? i’d be queen of the north!” she excitedly said, leaning her head against him. “that way, i can make it a RULING that my big brother, domeric bolton, is the most amazing man there is!”
Domeric could only smile at his sisters words and made no move to try to up her on the amount they had missed one another and gave an approving nod as she twirled to show off her dress. “It would be lovely” He stated “But, in Robbs position it would make more sense for him to marry a woman with Southern connections. Though you make a beautiful Queen”
He told her, trying not to break her heart but he couldn’t let her go through her dreams thinking fanciful things. “Even better than your lord husband the King?” He asked raising an eyebrow at her
‘ DOMERIC!” alina exclaimed, excitedly as she hugged her big brother. “domeric, i’m … i’m so glad you’re okay! i’m so glad!” she exclaimed, hugging him harder. “thank gods — thank all of the gods for this.”
“Ali~!” Domeric grinned as he hugged his younger sister, bringing her up in a sweeping circle as he hugged her before he let her down to the ground. “I’m glad for that too. I missed you sweet sister.” He placed a kiss on her cheek and held her closer, fearing if he let go she would be gone forever. “How have you been?” He asked as he slowly pulled away, a hand gently caressed her cheek giving her a good once over “You look well.”
The way Alina spoke make Viserys eye her carefully and her eye contact helped decide that she may have been speaking the truth, but he also knew that with a brother like Ramsay one must have only gotten well versed in faking truths and lies. “That’s good” He purred, content for now with her answer as he circled around her before stopping in front of her “We need to know who we can trust and who we cannot in the coming times”
Viserys knew the tensions around Winterfell were high after Walda announced she was with child and he only imagined the rage Ramsay was brewing in and he wanted to be on Ramsay’s good side. “I trust you, Alina.” And how could he not? Being here for nearly a year and staying with the Boltons he’d grown close to the family and had even had private conversations with Roose about house alliances, promising to keep House Bolton close to the throne if and when he did get there.
