"Gross, give me someone else!" Arya demanded as she tipped back in Rieka's bed, Avalon gave a happy pant as she rolled her legs kicking up into the air as she stared upside down at Rieka.

"Nope," Rieka laughed out.

"I'm picking you gave me bad ones. I'm not kissing either of them, kill them both!" Arya declared.

"thats not the game." Rieka laughed out.

"My turn!" Arya decided. "Okay, Jory or Petyr."

"Thats not fair, I can't figuratively kill Jory or Petyr." Rieka countered.

"Play the game Rieka." Arya teased.

"I can't kill Jory I have known him since I was a child, he is barely older than I..."

"So killing your betrothed?" Arya laughed out. "Mother and father will love that!"

"This game is stupid." Rieka decided. "FMK is better."

"You play that with Robb." Arya recalled. "Played..." she corrected softly.

"You think father is okay?" Rieka changed topics quickly away from Robb.

"Yeah. No. I dont know. I swear Rieka I swear it I saw what I saw!" Arya declared

"I believe you." Rieka assured. "But I mean the crow talking to father." She clarified.

"I dont know, I dont know what he could want, maybe its about uncle Benjen." Arya offered. 

"Probably right." Rieka agreed.

"Rieka?" Ned questioned knocking on her door, he saw the flicker of the candle and knew she was still up. She ran to the room pulling it open with a smile. 

"Hey daddio." Rieka coed. 

"Can I come in?" Ned requested and she pulled the door farther open for him. 

"What did that crow have to say?" Rieka pondered. 

"Nothing good I'm afraid love." Ned offered. 

"Anything I can help with?" Rieka offered and Ned loved that she wanted to help. 

"No, I will handle it." Ned assured. 

"Is Robb okay? Bran and Rickon?" 

"Bran is awake but your mother is being reckless." ned offered innocently. 

"He is?" Rieka declared. "And he's doing good, walking?" Ned shook his head. "Any feeling in his legs." 

"not from what I have heard." Ned remarked and Rieka sighed turning away from him. 

"At least he is alive." Rieka offered. Ned looked to her dresser and saw a little box he assumed it was from Robb. 

"You still didnt open your name day gift." Ned realized. 

"I can't." Rieka whispered. 

"No?"  Ned countered confused. 

"Not without Robb here." Rieka answered. "I really hope its not food and drawing bugs to it with his rotting scent though I can't smell anything." Ned chuckled. Avalon stretched as she got off the bed and moved to Ned. 

''Well, I got you something... not a name day gift, so you can open it." Ned offered. "I also didnt wrap it." Rieka smiled back at him as Avalon sat between her legs tag wagging happily.  "but after the reaction I got from sansa I'm hesitant to give it to you." Ned remarked softly. 

''I'm more gracious than sansa.'' Rieka mused 'and I love presents.'' Ned held out the doll for her. Rieka smiled down at it.

''You hate it dont you?'' Ned remarked reaching for it but she brought it to her chest.

''Correction. I love it.'' Rieka assured.

''Thank you sweetie.'' Ned said kissing her forehead. "About Petyr-"

"I'm in charge, remember?" Rieka cut him off.

"You could be in charge of the seven kingdoms." Ned offered. "Queen Rieka." Ned suggested. 

"Please, bitch queen isnt in charge of anything. Everyone knows it is the Hand that does everything." Rieka told him. "But I would look great in a crown."

"It does seem that way." Ned admitted. ''I love you Rieka, I love you my sweet girl.''

''I love you father.'' Rieka echoed hugging him again and he kissed her cheek.

"About Petyr though love, you like him..." 

"I do, I really do." Rieka agreed. 

"He is a sneaky man," Ned remarked. "He hears the whispers, it makes him powerful." 

"I like power." Rieka assured. "Besides we all knew I needed someone thats monster fed my own." 

"His monster feeds you monster?" Ned pondered. 

"Yes." Rieka agreed. "In the best of ways." Rieka assured him. Ned chuckled shaking his head. 

"What do you like about Petyr?" Ned pondered. 

"I love that when I'm with him I don't have to pretend to be a nice person, that shit is exhausting." Rieka declared and Ned laughed out.
