Falling / Bran Stark

7. Stuck

Rare / Robert baratheon & Too sweet / Bradon stark out now!
"Hi nugget."

"Morning San." Odetta yawned out.

"You okay baby girl?"

"Just tired. I was up late with bran last night." She answered.

"Lets get you some juice and cookies. Help you wake up." Sandor suggested.

"I like how you think." Odetta agreed. "Oh Bran!" She sprinted off. Sandor chuckled. Just the sight of Bran revived her.

'Rough night imp?' Sandor questioned fixing his boots. Keeping an eye on Odetta and bran running around.

'If I get through this without scratching one end or the other it will be a miracle.' Tyrion told him drunkenly, his head was spinning, he hated the north. He could not adjust as well as odetta could to the snow.

"Hi Tyrion. Have you met bran? He's my future husband." Odetta remarked.

"Is he? Wow. Clegane what do you have to say about that? I thought you would never let your sister marry." Tyrion countered.

"I have to wait three years but-"

"Nine years." Sandor corrected.

" I will be a married woman!"

"Odetta. Do you ever listen when I speak?"

" sorry were you saying something?" She batt her eyelashes up at him.

'I know what I'm putting you through. Thank you for saying yes. I only ask you because I need you. You're a loyal friend. You hear me? A loyal friend. The last one I've got." Robert remarked

'I hope I'll serve you well.' Ned told him.

'You will. And I'll make sure you don't look so fucking grim all the time. Come on, boys, let's go kill some boar!"

" you take care of my boy while I'm gone all right, Miss clegane." Ned requested glancing to bran.

"Of course. We will start wedding planning when you return !"

" a wedding ? Bran you didn't tell me this."

"Odetta was telling everyone I assumed she already told you." Bran offered innocently.

" well, then welcome to the family little lady."

"Thank you!" Odetta jumped up, hugging Bran. Ned nodded a proud goodbye to Bran as the riding party headed off.

' Come on, Odetta. I want to show you the best climbing walls.' Bran instructed.

"Umm my brother actually said I shouldn't be climbing walls." Odetta admitted.

"But I want us to climb the broken tower It's beautiful you will love it." Bran added.

" I suppose you being my future husband you would technically be in charge of me but let's be real I'm always going to be in charge, but if you want to do something then it would be OK because my brother wouldn't be the boss anymore..." she was thinking her plan thoroughly on how to disobey her brother and how she would get away with it.

Bran hadn't been up to the broken tower for weeks and since he was heading to the capital soon with odetta the love of his life, this might be his last chance. He raced across the godswood odetta chased after him, taking the long way around the heart tree had always frightened him a bit but he had to be brave. Show odetta he was a man.

"Trees should not have eyes," Bran declared and odetta stared long and hard at the face before she nodded in agreement. "or leaves that looked like hands." His wolf came sprinting at his heels. Summer jumped up nudging odetta. The wolves were a good judge of character. The wolves didn't like Joffrey, but they loved Odetta.

"I'm not as good in the air then on solid ground."

"I'm a pro!" Bran called down. Summer fell silent, staring up at him through slitted yellow eyes. A strange chill went through him but Bran began to climb again. Once more the wolf howled.

"Quiet," he yelled. "Sit down. Stay. You're worse than Mother." Bran grumbled. "Odetta come on!"

"Okay okay!" Odetta agreed. "I know how to climb trees. I climbed trees at the capital I thought we were climbing a wall you had me worried ."

" we're climbing the trees to get to the broken tower." Bran corrected. The howling chased him all the way up the tree, until finally he jumped off onto the armory roof and out of sight.

"This is so much fun!" Odetta declared as she chased after him. " oh no, we're at the tower."

" just step where I step." Bran instructed

" OK." she watched him carefully and grabbed on where he did. She got the hang of climbing along the wall rather quickly she was a good climber, and she was small and thin like bran so she had less pull up the wall.

" are you good at everything?" Bran pondered. " you're a warrior you know how to do archery and use a sword and you climb just as good as me. You must know how to do everything." Odetta thought he was going to be self-conscious about and turn into one of those boys that didn't like that a girl could do everything better than him. But his next words surprised her. " our children are going to be amazing." Odetta wanted nothing more than to kiss him. But them being on the wall It was quite impossible.

" when we get down, I'm going to kiss you." Odetta informed him.

" then let's get down!" Bran agreed eagerly.

"You should be the Hand."

"Gods forbid," Jaime replied lazily. "It's not an honor I'd want. There's far too much work involved."

"Um freeze." He whispered. Bran hung, listening, suddenly afraid to go on. They might glimpse him, if he tried to swing by he did not want to risk it. So he hung nervously. Odettas foot slipped and she clung beside him.

"Wha-"

"Hush." Bran begged.

"Don't you see the danger this puts us in?" Cersei hissed. "Robert loves the man like a brother."

"Robert can barely stomach his brothers. Not that I blame him. Stannis would be enough to give anyone indigestion." Jaime corrected.

"Don't play the fool. Stannis and Renly are one thing, and Eddard Stark is quite another. Robert will listen to Stark Damn them both. I should have insisted that he name you, but I was certain Stark would refuse him."

"My foot is stuck." Odetta grumbled. Bran tried to hush her. She twisted and stumbled.

Bran wondered if he should get help but he was in a bad position to do anything but hang at the moment.
