She had granted him a measure of space, waiting for the right to speak to him. She remained distant during the feast, separated by the length of the table and her brother's attempts to preoccupy Robb's attentions. It was a different scene than in the camps. Where she could be more free then, she had to show restraint and care now. The entire feast passed without her presence at his side.
But she had not forgotten him. When he had entered the great hall, Margaery sent one of her maids with directions to the steward. She knew the rooms that Renly had chosen for Robb were smaller and compacted, more befitting a lesser courtier than a visiting King. While they feasted, his things were moved into the large chambers that she had prepared, all without Renly's notice or knowledge. They would overlook the gardens, allowing the perfume of the flowers to cover and mask the foul stench of the city.
More importantly, Grey Wind had been removed from the kennels and brought to Robb's chambers.
When he retired from the feast, Margaery slipped away as well, crossing his path before he could approach the rooms that Renly had given him. "I have found something more comfortable for your stay." She said, carefully guarding her words so that she appeared nothing but respectful. It would seem strange that she never once spoke to him during the feast, but was now seeking him out. There were many eyes about the court and she couldn't trust her movements not to be noticed.

"I am sorry that your wife did not come as well."
