Stannis reaches for his own metal square and handed it to the Stark kid. He is actually relieved they have something else to talk about, because he doesn’t feel any more comfortable talking about Robb’s death than Robb does. He doesn’t feel guilty, not really- he didn’t actually kill him, not like he had killed Renly.
