Synopsis
The Arya impostor is preparing for her marriage to Ramsay Bolton, out of fear more than for any other reason. Theon reminds her that she should think of herself as Arya at all times in order to avoid the dangers of enraging Ramsay. Her plight moves Theon considerably.
Theon has been chosen to cerimoniously present "Arya" in marriage to Ramsay, since he has been the ward of Eddard Stark for so long and other than Jon Snow, who is a bastard half-brother all her brothers are supposedly dead (Theon expects Bran and Rickon to be alive, but does not dare to reveal that).
Meanwhile, Winterfell is suffering from both a hard white frost and the looming menace of the coming of Stannis' troops. Even so, Ramsay Bolton marries Fake Arya in the godswood. A bard by the name of Abel arrives uninvited, with six women followers, to perform for the wedding.[1] Theon believes that he heard his name ("Theon") whispered by the godswood, after months of thinking of himself only as Reek. That and the memories of a different life in a far livelier Winterfell shake him deeply.
After the marriage there is a banquet with many Northern guests, including Lord Wyman Manderly, who is particularly enthusiastic with the meal. Lady Dustin (a.k.a. Lady Barbrey Ryswell) engages in a surprisingly frank conversation with Theon about her mistrusts of the Boltons and of the Maesters of the Citadel.
Ramsay calls for Theon and cruelly humilliates both him and the fake Arya (Jeyne) in his quarters.
