"Can't do that," Jon said. He kept her pinned down, afraid she'd run back
to her father and tell him where they were but he couldn't bring himself to
hurt her. Some Wildlings did. The Thenns would pillage a whole town, put
the people to the flame and eat them whole. Some raped and reaved. Jon
couldn't be like that and Tormund had a soft spot too; it was why Jon
preferred to go hunting with his kinsman over anyone else.
He lifted a hand and touched her cheek, marveling at how soft her skin was.
"I have to take you back with me. You're mine, now, because I've caught you
raiding. That's how it works."
