Ramsay couldn’t help but laugh, it was always incredibly amusing when his prisoners would get fiery and defiant…as if they still had any sort of power while chained to the cross House Bolton was known for. The battle had hardly gone how he’d hoped, that Snow bastard had won the battle but the war still raged. He would simply have to counter this loss from the walls of the Dreadfort instead of Winterfell…and it was preferable.
“Tell me, Wildling, have you seen my banners? If you have then you would know that your best option is to keep your mouth shut…unless you WANT your skin to be added to the walls of my keep, that is.”
“Banners are little more than drawings, and yours scare me no more than the Stark’s wolf does.” Tormund retaliated, partially aware that further antagonising the lord who had ordered him strapped to the great wooden cross was perhaps not the most intelligent move on his part.
“You were defeated once, if you think I’m about to be scared of a little boy who turned tail and ran because the battle did not go his way, you are wrong.” He continued, attempting to ignore the sinking feeling in his stomach at Ramsay’s expression. Free men did not show fear, and Tormund was not about to start begging for his life now, even in spite of his predicament.
