Exile // Jory Cassel (1)

7. My Forever

Caro was practically squealing with excitement when the direwolf pups were brought back. Jory loved that smile, that childlike glow when she was excited.

"You guys should go out more often if you are going to bring back puppies!" Caro said taking one from Theon. "So handsome." Caro coed kissing the pups fluffy little head.

"You got some competition Jory." Robb mused.

"Yeah, yeah." Jory muttered.

"Six pups Caro." Ned called.

"One of each of the kids, that's so perfect!" Caro declared. "Bran I can obviously see you don't want a puppy,' Caro teased as Bran cradled the pup to him. "If you want to relinquish responsibility to me-'

'NO!" Bran shouted laughing up at her.

"What shall you name such a beauty?" Caro mused as Rickon came running up. "This one is a shaggy boy." Caro remarked passing the pup off. "Be gentle."

"Shaggy dog!" Rickon declared and Caro laughed out looking up at Jory.

"It's perfect."

"Look at you, so handsome!" Caro declared tracing her fingers down Jon's freshly shaven face.

"My too?" Theon offered waiting for her to touch his face.

"You are still furry." Caro told him.

"Furry? Like the wolves?' Theon asked appalled.

"HA!' Caro laughed out. "Sit." Caro declared and Theon sat before his face pinched and Caro laughed again. "Just like the wolves." Caro encouraged petting his head.
"That was mean." Theon told her.

"You sat." Caro reminded him. "You can follow directions, my good boy." She coed.

"Stop talking to me like a dog." Theon grumbled. Caro chuckled hugging him from behind resting her chin on his head.

'Why is your mother dead set on us looking pretty for the King?' Jon asked as their faces were shaved clean their hair cut nicely.

'It's for the queen I bet.' Theon said.

"Lannisters and Baratheons." Caro said with distaste and Jon chuckled.

'I hear the prince is a right royal prick.' Robb added.

"Oh don't let your mama hear you talking like that." Caro teased.

"Says you." Robb retorted.

"I'm a proper little lady." Caro corrected. "I don't have the faintest idea what you are talking about," she smirked over at him as she made her way to the door.

"Proper little lady that got Jon on his ass just yesterday." Theon called out.

"Yeah it was nice to see you beating up on someone besides me." Robb added. Caro chuckled biting at her lip.

"You know Robb gets his mouth from you." Jon added.

"Lies." Caro hissed with a grin. "Proper. Little. Lady." She said slowly as she drummed her fingers on the doorframe before heading out.

'I want to marry Carolina." Theon said staring at the spot where she stood.

"Jory would beat your ass if he heard that." Jon warned.

"I love her." Theon told him confidently.

"Carolina Cassel," Robb told him. "You missed that chance a long time ago because Jory is her forever."
