"Gracie, I'm going on a Tyrion hunt." Jaime remarked. 

"Think that nastiest place here." Grace offered. 

"Trust me I know where he is." Jaime agreed pressing a kiss to her temple. "Be back soon." 

"He is going to need an incentive." Grace countered. 

"I know that too, you would think this is the first time I have been assigned to bring back Tyrion." Jaime chuckled out. 

"My toes are freezing." Grace declared. "You kids going to stay out here and have fun while us old people warm up?"

"You are not old, Aunt Gracie." Myrcella corrected. 

"Oh, thank you honey," Grace coed kissing the top of her head. "You kids have fun." Grace turned around and ran right into Robert. 

"Grace! You wanting to get closer to me, all you have to do is ask." Robert declared holding Grace hostage to him. Ned saw the clear discomfort on Grace's face as Robert stroked her cheek and arm. 

"My lady, I'm sure you want to get inside-" Ned countered. "Warm up." 

"yes." Grace agreed. 

"I will warm you up." Robert cackled out. 

"Robert, let me go." Grace warned. He smirked letting his arms fall. 

"My lady, I will take you to your chambers." Ned offered his arm. Grace took a step away from Robert and she flinched forward when Robert smacked at her ass. 

Grace huffed a breath as they headed inside, she felt a rush of warmth fill her as the doors shut, Ned glanced to her as she leaned into him silently. 

"Is Robert like that often?" Ned whispered. 

"A complete and total pig?" Grace countered. "Yeah, its constant." Grace assured him. "He thinks because he is the king he gets whatever the hell he wants... He doesnt understand the word no either." 

"I'm sorry." Ned whispered. 

"it's not your fault he's a pig." Grace remarked. "Is it?" 

"I'm sorry you have to deal with that. With him." Ned clarified. 

"You will be dealing with his shit too, did you accept his most generous offer of cleaning up his messes while he fucks and drinks his way through the capital?" Grace offered bluntly and Ned cleared his throat. 

"I have accepted as Hand." Ned corrected. 

"Same difference." Grace assured. "But it will be nice to have you in the capital."

"Will it?" 

"The entire time I have known you which isnt long I will admit, but still you have havent looked at my ass or spoken to my chest." Grace informed him. "That is refreshing." Ned didnt know what to say to that. "And yet somehow I am offended because I wanted you to be the northern ass I conquered this trip." she remarked bluntly and Ned choked on his tongue. "But clearly you have honor and I'm just going to have to find another man to keep me warm." Ned blinked back at her. "Is this me?" 

"What?" Ned rasped. He had never known a woman to be so forward before. 

"This room that we have been stopped at for the past four minutes." Grace clarified her knuckles trilled along the door. 

"Yes, yes, this is your chambers." Ned agreed pushing open the door. "I... If you need a fire, I would be glad to make it for you." Ned added. 

"I would, thank you." Grace agreed. She closed the door behind him. She walked the room as he got to work, she moved to the window looking out and down, no one would be able to see in here unless they climbed on up. She closed the blinds all the same. 

"Is there anything else I can do for you Grace?" Ned questioned as the fire sparked to life. 

"Kiss me and make me forget about my loveless life." Grace requested not actually thinking he would oblige. He wiped his hands on his pants getting the soot off. Before he moved to Grace taking her face in his hands and kissing her. She hummed into him and Ned could honestly say he was in a state of grace with her in his arms.
