Ooc: I thought you meant it was a note from him he left before leaving. Also thought you were Michigan
Robyn keeps hold of the note, "Nick," she called out, not too loud as it wS beginning to get late, "it's Robyn..."

////// After hearing that Nick was leaving, Robyn went to see him again, armed with knowing what he knew now. Nick is finishing his packing. "Robyn," he greets coolly.

"I heard you were leaving early, I see it's true." She said looking at the mess of packing, and stepping inside. She looked at him for a long moment, "would you like some help packing?" She asked sadly.

"Almost done," he said. "I'd think I've apparently stayed too long, not left too early," he said. "You knew too, right?"

"Knew what?" She asked, not wanting to split hairs on his phrasing. She didn't want him to go.

He just stared at her. "Seventy thousand men in an army and my sister dies, Robyn. I can understand that. Your companion Raven killed her," he said. "Did. You. Fucking. Know."

"That raven killed her? No. I would have told you if I did. I did not see your sister die, I just heard she was dead, we didn't discuss it." Robyn said honestly, raven killing her had not crossed her mind at all, until Amelia mentioned it was one of be jeans close companions she didn't know it was not another soldier or archer.

Nick nodded. "All right then. Benjen did." He shook his head. "He gets the women he wants, the lands, the titles, the armies, everything," he said. "That's the way of things, I won't begrudge him birthright in Westeros," he said. "But I don't even get the truth. About my sister's death." He shakes his head. "I've got a birthright I am entitled to. I am done being House Stark's assassin. Your father...our," he spits the word out, "father does much the same. The only thing you can give a man who has everything is more," he said. "If Amelia's fever dreams become reality, you'll always have a safe haven in Pentos," he said. "And not my uncle's version of it."

Robyn nodded as he spoke. "I know, it's not fair, we have no claim on you, and you deserve more than you can get here, I don't think you're wrong for leaving, that's why I'm not going to try and convince you to stay, even though I selfishly want you to, because you're my brother and I love you. I just hope if you can be, you can be happier in pentos than here." She said looking down, "I'm sorry we failed you,"

Nick looks touched. "You never failed me, sister," he said. "It's just...time to move on for a while. Maybe forever."

"I understand. Good luck then... In case I never see you again." She moved her arms as if to hug him, but seemed to think better of it.

He hugged her. "I'll be back," he said. "If you get bored come to Pentos."

"If what were being told is happening is true I don't think boredom will be an issue, but I'll keep it in mind. I did like pentos... All things considered." She hugged him back tightly, longer than usual, then produced the note and passed it to him, "this was on your tent... I guess I will see you when I see you, "she smiled at him, then left, feeling tres sad,

Nick reads it over. He curses a few times as he finishes packing. Fucking guilt trips. His left hand clenches and unclenches a dozen times. He follows her. "I can't let you die if that dumb whore is telling the truth," he admitted. "Or Meera or Delila or..." his voice trails away.

Robyn looks round as he follows her, then looked down at the letter, then back up, "I don't know why she'd lie, unless it is some trick on her," Robyn shrugged and wondered what the letter had said, "what are you going to do?"
