Genjo walked around the castle having just finished a meeting with the staff of Winterfell, he told them to start the preparations for the upcoming Winter. "Genjo!", the brunette rolls his eyes at the voice of his brother, "Genjo!", two pairs of footsteps approach where he's stood, when he turns he comes face-to-face with Robb and Theon, he tilts his head in question, "what's this I'm hearing about a meeting with the staff?"

'You were busy with the southern situation, so I've started the preparations for winter', he looked Robb in the eye, 'I assumed you would agree', the three fall into silence, Robb staring at Genjo, Genjo staring at Robb whilst Theo looks between the two.

Robb holds the stare with his brother, he has to look away though, unnerved by the cold stare, "okay", he shifts on his feet, "but what about when people start to complain?"

Genjo starts to walk away, the other two following him, 'simple, we tell them that the next winter is expected to be the coldest and longest ever, and then they'll be thankful that we did this', Robb nods beside him.

At the end of the corridor Maester Luwin stood, watching the three walk towards him, "Maester Luwin, how are you today?", Robb smiled at the grey man, who bowed back.

"My lord, there are people waiting for an audience", Robb nods at him and walks to the main hall, Theo follows him, Luwin then turns to Genjo, "a letter for you, my Lord", the man has a smile on his face as he speaks, he walks away from the mute boy, who looks down at the letter, he's surprised to see only one line of writing.

'meet me at the stables'

-A

Genjo smiled, and instantly set off to the stables, an unfamiliar feeling of butterflies in his stomach. The ground crunches underneath his boots, when he gets to the stables he sees Adonis, lay on some bales of hay. The older man looks to Genjo and a smile slowly stretches across his face, 'whats wrong?"

Adonis sits up, "why does something have to be wrong?"

'Well you got Luwin to give me a letter, telling me to come here', Genjo looks around, trying to find out what's happened, 'so, what happened?'

Adonis approaches Genjo, dropping his hands on the Starks shoulders, "I just thought you could relax a bit, all I hear now is how you're doing work and meeting all day", he then looks away, bashfully, "and I've not seen you for a while"

Genjo smiles at him, a blush dusting his cheeks, 'you know, you can just speak to me, you don't need to request an audience', Adonis smiles at him, 'because believe it or not, I would make time for you'

"Why's that?", the questions leaves Adonis' lips before he can stop them.

Genjo looks away from the mans bright blue eyes, 'because... I enjoy spending time with you, you help me relax', Adonis smiles, one hand slowly going up to hold Genjos jaw.

"I'm glad, because you do a lot around here and you deserve to relax", he moves his face closer to the mutes, "and I enjoy being around you too", Genjos eyes widen at the new close proximity, Adonis softly places a kiss on his cold cheek, then pulls back with a smile, "now, lets go for a walk"

When Genjo returned form his walk, the sun was already begun to set, he went to the kitchen to grab a plate of food before continuing to his room, as he ate he read through some of the scrolls let for him.

As he starts to remove his clothes, Robb bursts through the door, followed by Master Luwin who holds a scroll in his hand, Robb sits himself on stroking a hand through Embers fur, "they've taken father prisoner", Genjo looks at Robb with furrowed brows, "the Lannisters have taken him prisoner! that bastard Jofferey has got our father! and our sisters!", the eldest stark jumps to his feet, shouting.

Genjo looks over to Luwin, before approaching the raging Robb, he tries to sign some words out, but Robb was pacing around the room, fuming, seeing no other option Genjo slapped his brother in the face. Luwin cringed at the harsh sound, Robb stared at his brother shocked, 'you need to calm down', Genjo raises his hands to his brothers face, making sure the elder boy reads them, 'we will come up with a plan, but you need to calm down and not make a bad decision', he turns to grab a shirt before leading the other two men from the room, thoughts already streaming through his mind on how to get his family back.
