[ There’s a ghost of Theon’s old smile at that comment. ]
Are you sure that you don’t want it? Or do you think you don’t deserve it?
[ All of Robb’s failures and shortcomings truly paled in
comparison’s to Theon’s but Robb is also a better man so he is sure they
cut deeper in their way. ]
Ramsay was really the mastermind of that family.
[ Theon gets up then, drinking more and pacing. If he sat still he’d
fidget further, Robb might see better the fact he is not handling the
Boltons coming up very well — it was his own fault though. ]
Roose didn’t live all that long... you are lucky you did not have to see
what was done to Winterfell.
Why not both? If I want it, it makes it all too easy. Jeyne and my mother suffered, my men suffered. Wanting it and getting it so quickly makes their deaths so small. It feels like I should suffer for longer for them.
[He was too much of his father's son. He felt his failures sharply and wanted to carry them for his life.]
No, I don't think so. Ramsay was cruel, from what I heard, but cruelty isn't always brilliance. Roose Bolton played both me and my father for fools, Ramsay was always what he was.
[ Theon finally set the glass down his hands balling into fist. There's so much that Robb doesn't know. He sank down into the chair once more. ]
I would not lie to you about Ramsay. He was a mastermind and he was cruel. You cannot imagine how cruel that he was but thanks to him I have given more than a pound of flesh for my deeds. He is also the one who killed Roose and then Sansa killed him.
[Yes he did, but he's not going to admit the truth. It would push to relieve him of guilt too soon and too easily.]
There is no justice. [Which annoyed him to no end.] Roose's death, your punishment. There is no satisfaction it and no vengeance. It's just ash compared to what happened.

[He could at least feel some comfort.]
Who killed him?
