Oberyn disagrees. He tells Tyrion that he will be his champion. Sansa is walking in the snow at the Eyrie. She builds a replica of Winterfell in the snow. Robyn finds her. Robyn asks when she's going back to Winterfell, and she says probably never. Robyn asks if they had a Moon Door at Winterfell, but she says no. He doesn't understand how they made people fly then.
