Lyanna wrings her hands for the lack of anything better to do with them. "Aye, and he has always been fond of Robert." Alone with her son in a place no one would think to go during a feast, she doesn't bother to mask the venom in her voice when she says the King's name. "He'll never listen to me..."
She turns to look at Jon then, her face unusually distraught. Because the worry she holds is not just for her brother, but for her son too. Silently, she thanks the Old Gods that Jon bears not a single hint of his father's appearance... except for his brooding, thoughtful nature. But that could be easily mistaken for the Starks' sullenness, too. Still, if Ned, the only other person with the knowledge of Jon's true parentage, is bound for the capital...
"I hope you and Robb aren't planning to accompany him?" She might be overreacting, but she wants to nip in the bud any boyish thoughts of adventure they might have.
"He is a Stark." Jon shares her concern for Ned, though for different reasons, as unfamiliar as he is with King's Landing. He knows that his presence at Winterfell is only tolerated because of Ned, and he doesn't know what it means for him if Ned leaves. Where does he end up? In truth, there's really only one place for people like him. He had always figured it would happen someday. It may just be sooner than expected. In the meantime, he just has to watch his father and his aunt (with whom he has a closer relationship than any of his siblings do) have their battle of wills and wait for the outcome.
"Robb will be lord of Winterfell while Father is away." It will be good practice for when he's lord of Winterfell in his own right. "I'm not sure what my place will be after this."
