[ He’s been broken, both in body and spirit, but he’s still as stubborn as ever. He’s made a trek like this before, and that had been with an injured Jeyne Poole in tow. He had been weaker then, but the winds hadn’t been nearly as strong.

He might jump at the presence of another person, but wolves and dogs are different somehow. He was safe with the Starks’ wolves, and when he was in the kennels with the dogs in the Dreadfort, it meant Ramsay had no need for him. Instead, he only casts Ammy a doubtful gaze when she comes near. ]
