Summary: Ygritte knows thay they're both living on borrowed time. A double drabble.

Ygritte's eyes bored into Jon as he fiddled with his climbing gear, trying to do anything but return her gaze. 'What are you going to do when we get over the Wall?'

'If we get over the Wall,' he said, tugging sharply on a section of rope, studying it for weak spots.

She stepped up in front of him and tugged the rope from his hand, dropping it on the snow covered ground. 'What are you going to do?'

His brown eyes wavered under her scrutiny and she could see the desperate honesty in them. Lie to me, she thought. Tell me you're not going to turn on us and run straight back to Castle Black. She had an arrow reserved for him if he dared to leave her.

'I'll do what needs to be done,' he said, carefully leaving the words open to interpretation.

Ygritte snorted. 'Once a crow, always a crow.'

'Except Mance,' he countered.

'Except Mance,' she agreed.

'I'll look after you,' he promised, touching her arm.

She shrugged away from his touch. 'I don't need looking after. But you will if you break faith with us,' she warned. 'The only good crow is a dead crow.'
