Sandor

Odie was stood at Robb's side his hand in hers as the royal family approached she spared a glance back at jon and he offered her a smile. As king Robert dismounted his horse slowly making his way to them his legs sore from the ride he walked awkwardly getting to them. Odie held back a chuckle watching the king approach, then she saw sandor. He dismounted with grace. She left robbs side running past the king robbs hand still reaching for her.

'Odetta,' Robb hissed

'Odetta!' ned called as well but was quickly distracted by robert. Ned Stark and his family bowed before Robert on their knees as Robert approached. Robert motion for Ned to stand, Ned rose as did the rest of his family.

'Your Grace,' Ned said tipping his head to Robert.

'You got fat,' Robert noted but Ned looked down to Roberts stomach both men started laughing before they hugged joyously.

'Cat' Robert said happily hugging her before fussing with rickon's hair.

'Nine years it has been nine long years, I have not seen you where have you been?' Robert asked

'I've been here guarding the for north for you, your grace.' Ned said obediently. He went down the row of stark children greeting them.

'You must be Robb,' the king said shaking his hand before moving in but his eyes moved back to odetta lunging at the hound.

'It is an honor to have you, your grace.' Catelyn said crusting before cersei.

'Take me to the crypts.' Robert said leading Ned away.

''We've been riding for a full moon don't you think the dead can wait?' Cersei called after them.

'Come on let's go,' Robert said leaving his family behind.

'Odie!' sandor said as she lunged at him he scooped her up her heels kicking back as her feet left the ground. 'Oh honey look at you.'

'I have missed you so much!' Odie told him

'Not as much as I missed you.' Sandor informed her

'That's probably right.' odie teased as sandor put her back on her feet.

'Look at you!' he repeated his sister was a woman tall and curved, 'you look like a northerner as well.' Sandor remarked. 'It wasn't so bad right?'

'No it wasn't.' she agreed glancing back at robb and jon

'You like the little lord?'

'He is nice.' odie agreed. 'You didn't write me enough.' Odie informed him. 'I wrote you all the time.' Odie complained.

'My penmanship was never the greatest you wouldn't have been able to read it odie.' Sandor reminded her.

'I don't care you need to write me more. I missed you.' Odie told him hugging him tight.

'Aye I will. I loved you letters,' he informed her. 'Loved him. I kept every single one.' Sandor informed her. 'There a wedding in the horizon? I want to be here for that.' sandor reminded her she shook her head. 'Still no...' he gestured up and down her she giggled

'Still no.' she agreed. 'I told you what if I don't bleed? I like these people and with father gone and you at the capital where would I go?'

'Don't worry about that. You will.' Sandor told her, but at 16 that was very late to have not bleed yet.

'I'm so glad you are here, you have to meet the dire wolves!' odie exclaimed. 'oh and I-'

'Come dog.' Joffrey called odie turned around to see joffrey sneering at sandor

'What's his problem?' Odie questioned.

'I have to go odie,' he kissed her head again

'What no! You just got here!' Odie objected

'Prince called i answer.' Sandor told her begrudgingly.

'He called for a dog, you are a person.' odie reminded him.

'I'm a dog. A hound to them.' sandor informed her

'What? That's so mean. No don't go with him!' Odie begged.

'I'm sorry sweetie, I will find ya later, I promise.' he kissed her head again walking off.

'That's your brother.' Jon remarked coming up behind her

'Sandor.' she reminded him.

'He's gotten bigger since he dropped you off here six years ago.' Jon remarked watching him walk away.

'So have you,' odie reminded him turning to face him their noses brushed against each other.

'You are trouble odie. You're going to get me in trouble,' jon warned but he couldn't help but raise a hand to her hip keeping her with him.
