User blog:H-Man Havoc/Perhaps Osha and Rickon aren't in as much danger as we thought...

After reading the reviews and seeing clips of Oathbreaker again, it seems strange that Smalljon Umber would just willingly offer up Rickon and Osha to Ramsay only to make a common alliance in favour of defending against the wildlings, considering the Smalljon has no love lost for the Boltons and House Umber still being loyally aligned with the Starks.

Perhaps what Smalljon Umber did was a ruse; maybe a plan devised by the Smalljon, Osha and Rickon to eventually bring down Ramsay and House Bolton in general. Additionally, while Shaggydog could've actually been killed as part of this plan, it's highly unlikely and moreover, that dog's head is a bit too small to belong to a large direwolf. Perhaps Shaggydog is actually not only safe but hidden near Winterfell as part of the ruse.

What are your thoughts on this?
