Anonymous asked ⇒ ASoIaF: Older Rickon Stark
He’s a scrawny thing, wiry sinew visibly straining under lean skin. Malnourished, definitely, but weak? Hardly. He’s fashioned his own set of claws with splinters of bone and uses his teeth to snarl and snap. Even without the black beast to protect him, he’s a fearsome boy, nearly as fatal as his guardian. It takes three men to pin him down and keep him from wriggling free, not counting the whole dozen others required to tame the direwolf, even after it’s consumed the drug laced meat they laid as a trap.Nearly a fortnight passes before he finally responds to the visiting maester with words, rather than the series of barks and yowls that pass for language. You have to remember your name, they tell him, all day and every day since taking him to this den of stones. You have to be ready to see your sister.
They swear he won’t be fed today until he says it, and he thinks his captors (his allies, they insist) actually mean it this time. He’s stubborn, not stupid. And damn hungry. So he scrunches up his face, pulls on the scratchy shirt they beg him to wear, and says what they’ve repeated to him over and over:
“Rickon. I am Rickon Stark.”
