The Young Wolf's Journey: Chapter 9 discussion (Patreon)

So, with one month ending, we're looking ahead to the next chapter of Young Wolf. Now that Robb has recaptured Moat Cailin, the obvious question for this poll is where he goes next. Does he leave a garrison at Moat Cailin and return south, to focus fully on Stannis? Or does he proceed further north, to chase the remaining Ironborn off? 

Playing off of the end of last month's chapter, with his dream (warging?) of Jon, I have a bit of an idea in my head of Bran and Jojen sending representation to Moat Cailin to urge him to go to the Wall to defend the realm from the wildlings, and more importantly, the Others. It feels like the changes brought about by Robb marrying Margaery and aligning with the Tyrells, the Lannisters not receiving that Tyrell aid and thus getting smashed, and Stannis having his clear shot to taking King's Landing are really going to start impacting the things going on in the north imminently, and I think it makes sense that Bran and Jojen's goals would shift. (Don't forget, no Theon taking Winterfell means that Bran and Rickon are still there.) For potential smut purposes, Bran's request could be delivered by Osha and/or Meera.

But obviously that doesn't necessarily mean that Robb HAS to continue deeper into the north. That's one idea I've had, but there will certainly be other options in the poll too, including him turning right around and preparing his army for Stannis. If you have any thoughts on what you would like to see in the coming chapter (plot-wise, smut-wise or both), I encourage you to comment here, or send me a private communication if you prefer.
