Trouble // Loras Tyrell / Renly Baratheon / Rieka Stark

5. Weakness

"Renly for King." Rieka agreed wiping the blood off, it smeared over his skin.

"You came in here for a reason," Renly realized as her hand fell to her lap.

"To help you shave." Rieka answered.

"Come on trouble, you in for a repeat of the other night?" Loras encouraged.

"I came to tell you that I'm leaving." Rieka countered. "I wish i wasnt but..." She shrugged. "my father was sacked and he is sending us home."

"No." Loras countered shaking his head. "You can't."

"Try and convince my father otherwise." Rieka suggested. "I just wanted to thank you for the memories."

"No, I had plans for us." Loras corrected. "You can't leave, you will ruin them."

"I'm sorry." Rieka answered kissing his cheek and then renlys. "I dont know when I'm leaving, a few days probably, my father wants things done quickly.... I never... um, I never thought I wouldnt want to go home." She realized. "But I'm not excited to leave anymore."

"We should take rieka on the hunt."

"Rieka? Stark?" Robert countered.

"Yeah, you should see her with a bow, she's skilled." Renly agreed. "She's great-"

"You got a crush." Robert realized. "ned is threatening to take his girls home and you are worried your new little play thing is leaving."

"I like her, she's my friend." Renly corrected. "Just invite her, please. I know she will say yes. Plus she wanted to see you in action." Renly encouraged.

Rieka couldn't breathe as she stared down at her father. A hole in his leg.

"Is he dead?"

"No don't say that." Rieka demanded as renly came in. "Hes not right? Hes not going to die. Tell me jaime Lannister is dead."

"He fled." Renly countered

"Coward." Rieka hissed.

"Your father will survive." Renly added. "I thought you would need a friend."

"I do." Rieka agreed.

''of course... as you wish your grace. With your permission I will take my leave and return to winterfell. With my girls." Ned decided.

'piss on that.' Robert told him. 'send a raven, I want you to stay. I am the king I get what I want. I never loved my brothers,' he admitted 'sad thing for a man to admit but it's true. You were the brother I chose.' Robert reminded him.

'why Robert? Why do you want me as Hand if you do not listen to my advice?' ned questioned

'Somebody has to run the kingdom.' Robert said honestly. 'you're the hand again, you take this off again and I pin it to Jaime fucking Lannister.' Robert told him throwing the hand pin down onto the bed.

"Robert please-"

"Im done talking." Robert corrected getting up. "Im stealing your daughter and we are going on a hunt."

"Stealing rieka? Why?"

"Because a woman needs to know some things... and renly has a crush on her. Can you believe it? My brother likes your sexy little rieka."

"Dont speak of my daughter like that." Ned begged.

Robert smiled back at rieka as she lowered her bow.

"Damn." He whispered.

"What was that?" Rieka questioned

"I told you she was amazing." Renly agreed.
