The long journey was always a pain, but to see Winterfell again made my heart leap for joy.

It was a clear sky, but if you listened closely, you could hear the ice breaking and snow crunching underfoot.
The towers and walls were just like I remembered them.
It truly felt like coming home. As I was admiring the view, I noticed the golden armour coming to my side.

"Are you happy to be home, my lady?"

I look at ser Jamie with a small smile, then turn back to the view, but I hear a snort while I did so.
It sounded suspicious like Brienne.

"Yes, ser Jamie, there is nothing like return to ones true home. And winterfell will always be mine."

I could hear him shift and just make humming noise.
We kept riding like this for a few more hours until we reached the gates of winterfell.

As we came into the courtyard, I saw my father, Catelyn,Robb,Sansa,Arya,Brandon, and little Rickon all in a line.
I saw Theon and Lady Mormont as well as Lady Lyanna next to her.
They all kneeled. Once the fat oaf dismounted, then so did the rest of us.
I could make out Sansa blushing at Joffery the ferret then saw Robbs dark expression.

Once the oaf walked to my father, he looked at his bell and then said.

"You've gotten fat,"

My father looked at his belly, then his face, then they burst into laughter as though they hadn't been 9 years since they saw each other last.
Robert turns to face Catelyn and embraces her.

"Cat!"

"Your Grace."

"Nine years. Why haven't I seen you? Where the hell have you been?"

"Guarding the North for you, Your Grace. Winterfell is yours."

It took everything i had not to roll my eyes at that.
Cersi and her other children descend from the coach, but me and Jea almost laugh at what we hear next.

"Where's the Imp?"

"Will you shut up?"

Then we hear a giggle from behind and see Lady Mormont trying to keep Lyanna quiet.

"Who have we here? You must be Robb. (To Sansa) My, you're a pretty one. (To Arya) Your name is?"

"Arya."

The utter disgust in her eyes almost broke the dam of laughter.
Robert turns to Bran.

"Ooh. Show us your muscles. You'll be a soldier."

Jamie finally removes his helm when Lyanna takes the arya's line.

"That's Jaime Lannister. The queen's twin brother."

"Would you both please shut up."

You can see on Lady Morments' face that she does not appreciate Sansa comment just then, cersei walked up to my father.

"My queen."

"My queen."

"Take me to your crypt. I want to pay my respects."

"We've been riding for a month, my love. Surely the d*ad can wait."

"Ned."

Won't lie seeing that in real like is like a bitch slap to the face. I actually feel some pity towards the woman.

"Where's the Imp?"

Really, Arya!!!

Cersei, humiliated in front of all, walks back to ser Jamie.
