and then there were five.
Robb hasn't stopped moving since he woke up this morning. The weather had cleared, but there were distincty uncomfortable empty spaces in their corner of the caves, and while Sansa was prone to wandering off--though why she'd do it now, he couldn't comprehend--what would be so urgent as to lure away Bran and Dancer? Another hour revealed a missing Edmund, and as the day wore on, and increasingly rattled Robb. Summerfell is demolished, but he'd expected that. He doesn't care; as Jon said they can just rebuild it. And better. But what about the people who ought to be in it?
Grey Wind couldn't find a trail. That was the most disturbing part, once you got down to it, because it meant that wherever they had gone, they hadn't just wandered off. The island had taken them.
But where? He refused to succumb to the idea that they'd really vanished, and after discovering Ray and Diefenbaker, clings to the idea that the wolf would have gone if Fraser had, so they still need to be somewhere on the island. Just lost. And that wherever Sansa and Bran are, Lady and Summer are surely with them.

Nobody can move constantly all day, though, and sometime in the late afternoon, as the sun lowers and turns the beach and water red, he sinks down exhausted to the ground beneath a bent and broken tree.
[Robb takes a moment to rest. He promises Susan and Catelyn that he'll find the missing people, and that they haven't completely disappeared. Theon offers to go looking where Robb hasn't yet, and finds himself on a mission to dinosaur country. Before he goes, he apologises for everything that's happened between them.]
