Jon wasn't very outgoing himself. It was just easier to keep quiet and keep to himself, especially since he could not find Robb or his sisters, and this place was strange to him without them. Ghost was at his side, faithful pup that he was but it did not make it any less lonely; Ghost couldn't talk back to him.

When he saw another boy by himself, he decided to take a chance. That was less intimidating than approaching a whole group and asking to play. Surely he could talk to just one other boy?

"Hello," he said, sitting down beside the other boy. Ghost seemed content to chew on Jon's shoelaces, pulling out his carefully-tied knots.
