"Don't get too cutesy; I prefer you being all manly." She kissed his forehead. "You sound like one of my friends talking about her new love." She hopped off the bed and started dressing.

Benjen laughed. "It's not like I can act like it anywhere else. Anyhow, time to speak to my father." He sighed. "I'm not going to enjoy this." He kissed Catherine on the cheek and left, finding his father's quarters.

Benjen knocked before entering. "Father, I'm about to make your proud and angry." He said, deciding to be as open as possible. With his actions the other night he was somehow on his father's good side. Might as well use that to his advantage.

King Terrence is rocking in his favorite chair, with his daughter Delila next to him. He raises an eyebrow. "Oh?"

Benjen nodded. "I have decided to marry Catherin Mallister." He stood straighter. "And I have already told her." Here it comes...

Delila claps excitedly. Terrence has an amused face and raises an eyebrow. "Did you now?"

He nodded. "I believe she is going to tell her father, though I should as well, obviously. I should have told you first."

"Yes, you should have," his father agreed. "You know I currently have open offers from King Derek, Princess Nalya, Lord Baratheon, Tully, Rickon Stark, and Felix Florent of the Landing? none of whom, I may add, are currently already bound to us by marriage, such as your aunt Haley." He drinks a water and regards his son levelly.

"The Norther is more important than any of the other kingdoms," Benjen stated. "The future Queen should be of the North, no other place. And there are always Meera and Delila," He winked at his sister, "As well as Hector. And uncle Eddard is to marry Layna Martell."

'Oh, so I don't get to stay in the North? Thanks, brother." Delila says. Terrence continues looking at his son with an infuriatingly calm expression.
"Well, it is good to know that the king has spoken."

"If I am to be king then I must learn to act like one," Benjen stated. "As I said, I should have confirmed it with you but I will stick to my decision."

Delila giggles, and Terrence finally smiles. "Good. You have made a fine choice, son." Delila leaps up and hugs her elder brother.

He hugged Delila back, now grinning. "Thank you, father. I will speak to Ser Justin on the morrow."

"Do so." He leaned back in his chair. Delila kissed him on the cheek. "Going to go bother my new sister, bye!"
