[ not defending anyone? she wants to laugh, for if he isn't defending Ramsay, then surely he is defending himself in all this. by arguing with her about this, what else could it be but in his own defense?

but when he accuses her of being a liar, she falls silent for a moment, so still she might be in one of the pods, sleeping, were it not for the fact her eyes are open and fixed on him. ]

You're the only one that's lying here. Lying to yourself. What reason would I have to make up a story like that?

[ though immediately after, she shakes her head. ] Don't answer. I don't want to know what kind of twisted view you must have of me. I'm your friend, Theon, or I was. But clearly you don't want me to be.

[ with a sigh, she turns to move away from him — arguing like this is getting them nowhere, and she doesn't want to yell any more and risk attracting others here and witness the whole scene. ] Maybe if Ramsay wakes up again, you can ask him what happened. If he's man enough to tell the truth, he'll tell you what I told you. But we'll have to wait for that, won't we? You'll only trust the word of a monster over that of someone you grew up with.
