It's almost time for the royal family to leave, but Eddard, Sansa and Arya are going with them. No one has seen Rob or Jon since the day before but heard they were with the black smith so they were okay. Arya was showing Yn the thin sword that Jon had given her.

"Now you just need to practice to use it. When we get back I'll start training you with prince's." Arya just smiled at Yn like she was made of gold. All Yn could do was instruct others on what they need to do, since she couldn't put any weight on her foot. She hated being useless but she knew she was being watched so she was trying very hard to not help.

As she was talking to Cersei, Catelyn and the kids someone tapped her on her shoulder. She turned around to see Rob but he was looking at the ground. "Is everything okay Lord Rob? Has something happened?" She asked out of concern. He looks at you shaking his head. "No ma'am. I just wanted to apologize for my behavior. But I didn't know what to say or do to begin to make it up you. So here." He holds out a box.

She looks at him confused. Joffery comes to her side with his mother. Cersei takes her crutch handing it to maid while Joffery helps steady Yn so she's not putting much pressure on her foot. She takes the box from Rob and slowly opens it. She looks at him and back to the gift. "I asked the prince what I could possibly do to apologize and he informed me of a few things you did and didn't like. So I hope you like it." She's looks up at Joffery. "You helped with this?" Joffery just nodded.

"Oh and Jon said when he was tending to your weapons he made it clear that you had none made from Valorin steel." She looks back to Rob confused. "Jon and prince Joffery both helped you with this?" He nodded his head. "Do you not like it?" He asked curiously. "I mean if you don't that's okay I can figure something else out." She lifted her hand to quiet him. "Lord Rob, I accept your apology." Everyone looks at her shocked but also in understanding.

She reaches into the box pulling something wrapped up in a cloth out. She handed the box to a maid and slowly unwrapped the cloth. It was a cane. She looks at it with her eye brow raised. Realizing her confusion. Holding out his hand. "My I see it?" She nods handing it back watching closely.

"You my Lady are a warrior and I wanted to gift you something you could use and still feel protected." Rob explains and puts slight pressure on the wolf head. It makes a click sound and he pull on the head to reveal a small sword like Jon had made for Arya. He hands it back to her.

Her hands shakely grabbed the end of it and she held it up. Her smile grew. She threw her arms around Rob's neck surprising him. "Thank you so much." She stumbled back into Jofferys waiting arms. "Apology fully accepted." She placed the sword back. And tested the strength of the cane. Satisfaction was written on her face.

Someone clears their throat they look up to see Jamie with questioningly look. "What do we have here?" He asks looking at them then to the cane. Before he can say anything Yn started to show him the cane with a hidden sword. His look of distaste washes away completely and softens at how excited she was for her gift.

"So I guess you've forgiven for.."he paused looking at the slight bruise peeking from her dress. "For saying those hurtful things.?" He says instead not pulling attention to it because of the kids. She nodded slowly gauging his response. "Yes Sir Jamie, I have. He was only concerned for his brother. Now he has apologized."

She softly smiles at him. "Well I shall bid you all a goodbye. Until next time we see each other." She bowed her slightly. "Farewell Lord Rob." And grabs Jamie's arm to assist her with getting in the carriage.
