            It had been a month.

            The King and his entourage were now arriving as her family stood in a line near the gates. She wore a pale blue dress with white flower designs on it. Her black hair was pulled back into one long braid that fell down to her waist although some strands fell freely. She also had many winter roses decorated in her hair.

              She stood between Robb and Sansa. Arya had ran towards them with a helmet on that that made them all chuckle before Ned took it off and she got in line next to Sana.

                 She looked back at Damion with a small smile. He smiled back but Jon nudged her to look forward. Jon stood behind her and not in line with the family; she had argued with her mother about it but there was no changing her mind.

            She sighed and looked forward as a Kingsguard member rode through first. He stopped his horse near them and bowed his head respectfully. Then Prince Joffrey entered next and Sansa was enamored. Elya didn't notice as her gaze quickly left the boy but as soon as the prince saw Elya, his eyes widened in awe. Robb looked from the prince to Elya. He didn't like it.

After the prince, a huge wheelhouse entered that probably contained the Queen and the rest of her children. Finally, King Robert rode through and he was...fat.

As he rode through, her father kneeled and the rest of their party followed in his actions. She kneeled in the wet dirt with a small smile. She was welcome to the company this royal visit brought.

The King approached her father after trouble even getting off his horse. He gestured for Ned to rise and once he did, they all did.

"Your Grace," Ned bowed his head respectfully.

The King analyzed him as he stated, "You've got fat."

Ned gave him a look and they both start laughing before they embraced each other in a brotherly hug. Then the King merrily greeted her mother, "Cat!"

"Your Grace," Cat bowed her head but he hugged her, too.

"Nine years. Why haven't I seen you? Where the hell have you been?" Robert questioned Ned.

"Guarding the North for you, Your Grace. Winterfell is yours."

Cersei Lannister, the Queen, then exited the wheelhouse with her children. Arya looked around for the small figure she wanted to see and she asked quietly, "Where's the Imp?"

"Will you shut up?" Sansa responded and Elya nudged her a bit to be nice as Robert came down the greeting line.

"Who have we here? You must be Robb," Robert shook his hand before he looked at Elya who had a kind smile on her face and he froze.
