Boys Like You / Tyrion Lannister

8. Feral

'Better looking bitches than your used to uncle." Joffrey remarked snidely as he looked down at Tyrion laying in the kennels. Tyrion looked up to him with distaste as he brushed himself off. 'Mother was looking for you. We ride for Kings Landing today.' Joffrey told Tyrion, sandor told a dutiful servant behind Joffrey.

'Before you go you will call upon the Lord and Lady Stark and offer them your deepest sympathies' Tyrion told him

'What good are my sympathies?' Joffrey sneered.

'None but it is expected of you, your absences already been noted.' Tyrion told him.

'The boy means nothing to me and I can't stand the wailing of women-' tyrion slapped him across the face. Rieka smirked peering past Sandor's large frame. 

''One word and I hit you again' Tyrion threatened.

''I'm telling mother!' so Tyrion hit him again.

''Go. Tell her, but first you will go to lady and lord stark fall upon your knees in front of them and tell them you are very sorry that you are at their service and all your prayers are with them. Do you understand?' Tyrion instructed.

'You can't!' Joffrey cried out and Tyrion slapped him again Rieka laughed out and Tyrion's eyes shifted to her. 

''Do you understand?' Joffrey stormed off.

'The prince is going to remember that little lord.' Sandor remarked.

'I hope he does, if he forgets remind him for me.' Tyrion mused. "Hello Rieka, what might I do for you unless you were looking for Clegane?" 

"I was looking for you." RIeka agreed, his smile brightened. "You were drunk and fell asleep in the kennels?" 

"I... guilty." Tyrion admitted. 

"At least you are honest." Rieka offered. "So, Jon hasnt gotten it out of his mind that he is going to become a damn crow... so on our journey north... er." She added. "I need you to really lay on the fact that the wall is awful and he is going to be miserable so he comes home." 

"I can do that." Tyrion agreed. 

"Great, thanks... you dont think I'm going to be in danger there right?" Rieka questioned. 

"Aye." Sandor agreed. Rieka looked to him. "The wall hasnt seen women like you in ages, they are going to be feral." 

"I dont know if that is a compliment or not." Rieka admitted. "But thank you for your candor." He nodded as he headed off. "He seems an interesting man." Rieka remarked. 

"Yes, if you like grunts and blood shed." Tyrion half teased. 

"We are going to be spending a lot of time together." Rieka remarked. "All the way up and all the way back down to the capital together."

"I'm looking forward to it." Tyrion agreed. 

"Me too."

"I came to say goodbye to Bran.' Jon said coming in, seeing Catelyn crying over Bran. She barely left his side.

'You've said it.' Catelyn said annoyed as Jon approached the bed. 

"Mother," Rieka begged. "Please." Catelyn rolled her eyes. Rieka nodded to Jon. She couldnt believe they were leaving while he was still unconscious. 

'I wish I could be here when you wake up.' Jon told a sleeping bran 'I'm going north with uncle Benjen and Rieka... I'm taking the black...' Catelyn looked up to him with teary eyes not for Jon but for her son. Jon knelt before Bran.

"Rieka you are not-" Catelyn demanded. 

"I already made a deal with father and he didnt agree to my terms so I'm going to convince Jon to change his mind." Rieka challenged. 

"Unbelievable!" Catelyn shouted. 

 ''I know we always talked about seeing the wall together but you will be able to come and visit me at Castle Black when you're better I'll know my way around by then I will be a sworn brother of the nights watch. We can go out walking beyond the wall if you're not afraid.' Jon added.

'I want you to leave.' Catelyn said through clenched teeth they both looked at the door to see Ned. Jon got up and pressed a kiss to Brans forehead before heading out. Ned kissed Rieka's temple after she hugged her mother. 

"I will be coming back down either way." RIeka reminded her. "So I will see you soon." Catelyn huffed a breath. 

"I can't believe you." Catelyn rasped. 

"I think she is talking to you." Rieka mused. "I will hug you outside." she added to Ned. 

"Alright." Ned agreed as he closed the door behind Rieka. Ned approached Catelyn's taking slow steps before sitting down next to her.

'17 years ago you rode off with Robert Baratheon, you came back a year later with another woman's son and now you're leaving again!' catelyn told him exasperatedly.

'I am going. I can't refuse the king.' Ned reminded her.

'That's what they always say, all our goals but that's what you tell your family,' Catelyn shouted.

'I don't have a choice.' He reminded her.

'tell that to your son... you do have a choice.' catelyn told him 'and you've made it... I cant go on like this.' She murmured.

'You can and you must."

'You said goodbye to Bran?' robb questioned coming up to Jon, they were headed out, Robb was to be the new lord of winterfell in his fathers absence. 'He's not going to die I know it.' Robb told him.

'You starks are hard to kill.' Jon remarked.

"Damn right, we are invincible!" Rieka declared jumping on Robb's back. 

'My mother?'' Robb mused as he wrapped his hands around the back of Rieka's thighs, she rested her chin on his shoulder. 

''She was very kind.' Jon lied.

'I'm sure she was..." Robb glanced to Rieka. 

"She was bitch even to me." Rieka corrected. Jon chuckled. 

"Next time I see you you'll be all in black.' Robb remarked as Jon saddled his horse

'It was always my color.' Jon added.

"I'm going to get Jon back." Rieka corrected. 

"She is going to try." Jon clarified. 

"You would look good in uncle Benjen's uniform though." Rieka decided. "But you are a Stark."

'Farewell snow.'' Robb countered as Rieka dropped from his back.

''And you Stark.' they shared a warm embrace before Robb spun around hugging Rieka tight. 

"I'm coming back, remember, either way. I'm coming home to you."  Rieka reminded him as he kissed her cheek holding her tight. 

"Then you will go south and I will never see you again."

"Can't keep me from the north forever." Rieka assured. "My children will be wolves and they will need to feel the cold wind on their face and snow between their toes." 

"I love you, Rieka."

"I love you, Robbie. Give Bran a kiss for me the moment he wakes up."

"Will do." Robb agreed. 

"RIEKA!" Rickon declared running up to her. She picked him up and he giggled into her. 

"I'm going to miss you, you have to look out for Robb for me, you are in charge, Rickon." Rieka decided. Robb rolled his eyes. 

"I'm not in charge." Rickon laughed back. 

"SUre you are." Rieka agreed peppering his face with kisses. 

"I'm going to miss you, RIeka."

"Don't worry love I'm coming home."
