Word of the battle at the Barrows arrives.
A few days after, Julia and a few wildlings arrive at the Wall, seeking respite. Robyn isn't with them.

Prince Benjen, looking pale and unrested greets Julia and the others. His eyes have bags under them and pain is evident in them, though when he sees that Robyn is not with the group they widen. "My sister?" He simply asks, his voice quiet but tense.

Julia just looks at him. "She jumped in the pool and...shit just started blowing up. There were Others and once-men everywhere; we had to run." She shrugs. "I don't know if she survived, Benjen."

Benjen didn't obviously react to this at first but he finally gave a small nod. "The god's seem to hate me, Julia. I give all I have for this land and yet they take everything."

Raven seated with her father, watched Benjen knowing that Robyn left with them. But she wasn't with them now. His expression was enough for her to know that her friend was gone. Grabbing another drink, she held her head as tears fell into her ale.
"Damnit Benjen... You've lost another...",she whispered.

He gave a sardonic laugh. "I'm not a hero, Julia. Heroes don't exist." He looked up at the sky for a long moment, before turning away. "We'll wait for her. She will return."

"We get the dragonglass we can go find her," she said. "I'm...going to get a drink. Or twenty."

Benjen nodded. "Twenty drinks sounds good. She succeeded though..." He looked up one final time before leading the way to the dining hall. "She saved all of us."

Julia is less sure but she walks in and finds a bottle to start emptying. "The Others survived," she said.

"And the Wall stands," Benjen stated. "They cannot pass." He sat and poured two glasses of whiskey. "Their main weapon against the Wall has failed and... well, we'll see." He downed his drink and poured another.

"They'll find another," she said. "And they're active now, but...nevermind, for another day. She bought us centuries, hopefully." She downs it. "We still need to strike while you have an army, right? Once they disband...the Wall is unguarded."

"We'll ride north with our men soon," Benjen responded, slamming down two more whiskeys before taking it slower. "You want to be part of it?"

She shrugged. "I guess. Got nothing else to do for now." She is drinking right from her bottle. "Fucking sorcerers. Need to kill them all."
