 "Arya and I play kiss or kill."

"Kiss or kill?"

"Yeah, shes young I'm not such a bad influence that I would want her considering marriage or fornication." Rieka assured. Sansa covered her face with her hands. "Loosen up Sansa. Everything is going to be fine. Come on I'm bored and lessons are stupid. Fuck-"

"Gross." Sansa corrected. 

"Marry."

"Joffrey."

"Gross and I pick the names not you." Rieka corrected. "And kill." 

"I'm not playing your vicious game." Sansa decided. 

"Father!" Rieka shouted "I'm bored.' she told him. "I miss Robb, he would have been entertaining me. Sansa doesnt like my pass the time games."

"Her games are vulgar!' Sansa hissed.

"Are not." Rieka countered Ned looked between them. "I'm an angel. See?" She pointed at her head. "Don't you see my halo?"

"Robb must have yanked it off before we left." ned mused.

"Argh!" Rieka declared with a melodramatic groan.  "I hate when that happens."

"Oh wait

"Oh wait..." ned teased adjusting an imaginary halo on her head. "There is it." Rieka chuckled leaning into him. 

"Thank the Gods," Rieka agreed. "Wouldnt want people thinking the worst of me." 

"The truth?" Sansa teased. 

"Ha, ha... but yes." Rieka agreed. 

"Rieka and I were going to for a walk with prince Joffrey." sansa remarked and both Ned and Rieka stared back at her. 

"I did not agree to such things." Rieka corrected. 

"Sure you did." Sansa agreed, Rieka shook her head violently. 

"No, I would never do such a thing." Rieka corrected. "father, save me." Rieka begged. 

"Sorry love, I have to talk to the king." ned corrected pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Have fun." 

"See father said so!" Sansa agreed. 

"No, he didnt." Rieka corrected but somehow she was getting roped into this nonsense. 

But Sansa pulled her along, thanking her profusely as they went, Rieka rolled her eyes but went along less begrudgingly with each step. 

"Hello my prince." Sansa did a perfect curtsey. Rieka stared back at him. He wasnt worth the effort of a curtsey.

"Why did you bring that monster?" Joffrey shouted. 

"What monster?" Rieka feigned ignorance. 

"That dog." He sneered. 

"Avalon is a direwolf and my friend." Rieka corrected running a hand over her fur. "She is very protective and you would do best not to call her such names." 

"You and your mutt, the both of you should have been put down with the other one!" Joffrey shouted. "I could have lost an arm and now just because my father whores around you think, you really think you can flaunt your mutt around? Like you are in charge? You are nothing." Joffrey liked the sound of his own bitchy voice Rieka decided as he went on and on and on complaining. 

Sansa was in a dream like state as she smiled back at him, surely she couldnt hear him if she had she wouldnt have little hearts in her eyes as he shouted viciously at them. 

Avalon snarled her teeth but Rieka didnt flinch. She stared back at Joffrey bored. He barked and barked and she yawned, Avalon growled as Joffrey got closer to her. 

"Control you beast before I kill it." 

"She would kill you, hell I would before you ever got close enough." Rieka corrected. 

"Rieka!" Sansa shouted. Oh she could hear, just not joffrey bitching since the moment they arrived.

'Mormont was a slave trader, not a traitor.' Varys reminded them.

'I know it's a small difference to an honorable man.' Petyr added and Ned stared at him.

'He broke the law betrayed his family and fled our lands we commit murder on the word of this man?' Ned shouted back.

'And if he is right and she has a son?' Robert shouted 'a Targaryen at the head of a Dothraki army what then?'

'The narrow sea still lies between us' Ned reminded him. 'I will fear the Dothraki the day they teach the horses to walk on water.' Ned added

'Do nothing that is your wise advice? Do nothing until our enemies are on our show us! You are my council, council speak sense into this honorable fool!' he demanded

'I understand your misgivings' varys said. 'Truly it is a horrible thing we must consider the realm, to rule sometimes we must do a vile thing for the good of the realm.''

"My mother will have you head." 

"Oh shut you, you are embarrassing yourself." Rieka declared. 

"I'm telling mother!" 

"Come here..." Rieka demanded and Joffrey took a step closer. "Can you hear that?"
