[ Theon has been witness to the dynamics of three families, and he’s still struck by how different the Starks are from the Greyjoys and the Boltons. There were never any drunken fisticuffs or compulsive lies. The only beating anyone seemed to get from their older siblings was in the practice yard. There was no overtly cruel behavior and all children, even bastards, were loved and not simply tolerated. ]
But most families know one another.
[ Who a person is at ten isn’t who they are at twenty, and he and Asha are still almost strangers. He hadn’t recognized her when he returned home, and they’ve hardly exchanged an hour of conversation since. Most of it has been in the form of arguments.
All the same, he does miss her, in his own way. She’s the only family member he has who seems to actively care about him in any form. He just wishes he could say more about her. ]
