I sat fishing away in the marshes close to greywater humming a little song I had heard in some vision the other night, I forgot the name of it honestly. I heard a strange sound like something hitting the water or something in the water Jump out I thought little off it perhaps a lizard lion getting at some poor kid again.
"Help! someone help me!" A voice screamed I ran for it towards the nosie and I saw a girl about my age in a little torn and muddy purple dress with dirty y/h/c hair she screamed as she sat in a little boat a young black lizard lion in her boat looking to attack her she had only a small back pack and a old broken bow to try and defend herself, she was clearly an outsider but I didn't want to leave her, if I did she would surely die.
"Hey! Throw me the rope!" I tell her she quickly did to I pulled her little boat in luckily as the thing was young I picked it up by it's tail dropping it back into the water "there you are all safe now" I tell her
"My hero" she smiles jumping from her boat to cuddle me tightly nuzzling her head on my chest
"Ohh I uhh... It's alright miss" I tell her
"Thank you so much for saving me" she smiles "I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't come along" she says
"Don't worry one like that would at most take a limp" I shrug and she looked even more frightened "sorry, you get used to them" I smile as she moves away
"Should have killed it! Before it could hurt someone" she says
"No, there my houses symbol it would be bad luck" I tell her
"Ohh.. I'm sorry" she says
"It's alright, what are you doing in these parts anyhow?" I ask her
"Looking for greywater, they say it moves" she giggled
"What do you have to go on?" I ask
"My map" she smiled and I laughed at her "What?" She asks
"You really think you can find what countless have tried to... with just a map" I laugh
"I thought I would get lucky" she smiled
"What's your name?" I ask her
"Y/n" she smiles
"Y/n what?" I ask
"I don't know, snow I guess" she smiled "or sand...or rivers or waters Or whatever it is in this part of westeros" she smiles
"Just y/n is fine then... You know uhh, grey water has been looking for a couple new kitchen girls, they give you a little house in the village and everything" I tell her and her face lit up
"Could you take me?" She asked excitedly
"Alright, but... You should know the marshes are very closed to outsiders so, just act like you've been here your whole life" I tell her and she nodded
"Could I hold your hand? So I don't get lost?" She asks
"Well... alright" I smile letting her hold my hand as I gathered up my things and began taking her on the little paths back to greywater.

I sat to dinner with my father and my sister listening to them chat about hunting my dad telling that stupid story about how he saved ned Starks life I sighed noticing my glass was empty the second I put it down one of the kitchen girls scurried over to refill it I looked and it was y/n blushing hard as she filled the glass "hey" I whispered
"Hello" she blushed harder fixing her hair I checked knowone was looking my dad was deep in telling the story and Meera listened as normal so I got the little note from my pocket putting it in her hand she smiled widely before running off I smirked a little having another sip of wine.

I sat in my bed reading my book as I heard the little fast patter of footsteps up the tower stairs and a gentle timid little tap on my door so I got up going over and opening it letting y/n in quickly so knowone would see her here
"What is it? I need to get back home" she says quietly
"I know, I have a gift for you" I tell her
"A gift? For me?" She asks excitedly
"But... You have to promise me, you'll keep it a secret?" I ask and she nods "no really y/n only three people in the whole world know about this, me, you and the man who made it. And not a soul else is you understand, something like this could get you shipped away, far away... Then we'd never see each other again" I tell her resting my hands on the small of her back "promise?" I ask
"I promise" she smiles
"Alright, shut your eyes" I tell her and she happily did so I walked her slowly over to the mirror and went getting her present "still no looking y/n" I tell her and she giggled a little as I went back softly putting it around her neck and tieing it up for her "you can look now" I smile kissing the top of her head and she gently opened her eyes seeing it
"Huu jojen it's beautiful!" She smiled going close to the mirror to look at it better the little necklace I had made for her it goes around her neck comfortably the whole necklace in the shape of the lizard lion licking it's tail like on the sigil for house reed impossible to tell as you looked at it on but easy once it was off or if you where smart about it she looked so happy "I love it!" She smiled turning to cuddle me
"Y/n! Not so loud" I hushed her giving her head another kiss
"Why do I have to keep it a secret jojen? It's so beautiful" she smiles
"Because y/n, someone might figure out what it is, y/n... I love you, with all my heart. But if someone found out about us, they'd never let us be together, they'd send you away and I'd never see you again" I explain stroking her cheek "keep it a secret for now, until I can convince my father to let me marry you" I tell her "besides it has a little secret of its own" I smile
"What?" She asked
"Twist the tail" I tell her and she looked confused going back to the mirror twisting the tail and pulling out the curved dagger "just in case you... Get into trouble and I'm not there to help you" I tell her giving her cheek a kiss as I wrapped my arms around her
"Thank you jojen" she smiles giving my lips a gentle kiss
"Your welcome" I smile returning the kiss
