[about Jojen] What's he goin' on about? And how come he always gets to sit and chat, while we do all the work?
Hodor.
That's where we are...
What are you tellin' him?
It's all right, Osha.
It's not all right. You think I can't hear you every day? Filling his head with black magic? Talking about visions and three-eyed ravens and worse?
Leave him alone.
He can speak for himself.
I don't fill his head with anything.
So what d'you talk about?
What's happening to him, and...what that means.
Go on, then. Tell us what it means.
It's not like that. I wish that I could tell him all the answers; it would be much easier.
I don't want you talking to him anymore, until we get to your brother at Castle Black.
We're not going to Castle Black.
What did you say?
I told you already. Jon Snow isn't there. Bran needs to find the Raven, beyond the Wall.
Oh, no. I'm not going back there! Your brother is at Castle Black. That's where we're going! Look at me.
The raven's been coming to me, ever since I fell from that tower. He wants me to find him. I don't have my legs anymore! This is what I have, now.
You have a family. You need to go back to Castle Black, so you can get back to them, where you belong.
What if I belong in the North? What if...I fell from that tower for a reason?
[glares at Jojen] Is that what he's telling you? That it's all for a reason? All these bad things happened, because the Gods got big plans for you? I wish it were true, little Lord, but the Gods wouldn't spare a raven's cold shit for you, or me, or anyone.
You don't understand. You don't know.
You don't know! None of you know. None of you have been up there! I had a man, once; a good man. Bruni, his name was. I was his, and he was mine. But one night, Bruni disappears. People said he left me, but I knew him. He'd never leave me. Not for long. I knew he'd come back. And he did. He came in through the back of the hut. Only, he wasn't Bruni, not really. His skin was... pale, like a dead man's. His eyes, bluer than clear sky. He came at me, grabbed me by the neck, and squeezed so hard I could feel the life slipping out of me. I don't know how I got the knife, but when I did, I stuck it deep into his heart. And he hardly seemed to notice. I had to burn our hut down, with him inside. I didn't ask the Gods what it meant. I didn't need to. It meant the North was no place for men to be, not anymore. I promised your Maester I'd get you to Castle Black, and no further.
