[He doesn't remember this event, specifically; he was too young then. He has many similar memories, though. He and Robb had been close enough in age that they were learning how to do things at roughly the same time, so there are many examples of Robb getting the attention for something he already knew how to do, or Robb doing it first and it hardly being noticed when he later did the same thing. He doubts that anyone would blame him if he had turned out to be resentful of Robb, but Ned had helped keep that from happening. There had been some happy moments in his life at Winterfell, at least.
Still, this glimpse into his early childhood is a stark reminder of how things had been while growing up, especially after so many reunions here. What can he even say to this? It was what it was, and there's no use in wondering what might have been different if certain things hadn't been hidden. Which doesn't stop him from wondering that very thing anyway.]
