"Of course; that's what weddings are for, surely?" Benjen asked, grinning. "How does it feel to be a Stark?"

"Not so different than before, oddly enough. Though I do think Arania Stark has a very good ring to it." Small talk it was to be, then. She smiled at him, though her thoughts were in turmoil. She had hardly spoken to him in the past weeks.

"You looked suitably beautiful during the ceremony, if I may say so," Benjen said as they danced. "Gods help the man who wrongs you and has to deal with Kal."

She had to laugh at that. "Thank you. I almost felt sorry for a certain Meereenese, when Kal told me what he planned to do to the man. Almost." Smiling at Kal and Ella as they whirled by, she continued. "I guess you and Catherine are expecting again? You'll have to expand the keep at Eddard's Rest if you keep on at this rate."

"Well, we don't know yet; I am merely hopeful," Benjen replied, twirling her around. "I am hoping for a girl myself but Catherine? I think she prefers boys. Rickon is already a strong little bugger."

"She was sick on the journey, I'd rather assumed..." Arania shrugged and laughed. "He'll be like his father."
They danced in silence for a moment. "Ben? Are we really never going to mention it again? And just let it hang over our heads like an axe poised to fall?"

He raised a bemused eyebrow. "Mention what again? Though I can't say that I am favourable towards axes dangling down from above." He looked at the ceiling, almost to make sure.

"Don't tease me, Benjen. You know what I'm talking about." She looked somewhat annoyed, but her feet never missed a step. "Maidenpool."

Benjen looked like he was trying to clear a fog. "Arania, I am sorry; my mind was still on the war we fought and... oh yes, that."

"Yes, that. And Catherine came to me at Eddard's Rest, and told me you were acting so strangely, and I could not but think..." She shook her head. "I'm sorry to bring it up, and at a time like this. But," her eyes met his, "I couldn't let it lie."

Theo entered the wedding feast unannounced, wearing the blue and grey wool clothing of Clan Wull, though he had left the chainmail back at the room he had rented at the inn. He had left his greatsword back with the guards that stood outside the hall, making him feel somewhat naked as he rarely went anywhere without the sword strapped to his back.
He looked around with a uncertain look upon his face, hoping that he would be able to spot the maester without drawing much attention to himself. He wasn't much for these big celebrations that the Starks were throwing, weddings were a fairly small affair within the clans unless it was a marriage to bring peace between two clans.

The maester is sitting off to the side at a table. He is in his early fifties and his chains are extensive. He looks like he could perhaps use a few more bites of the tasty dinner.

Theo took some descisive steps forward and headed in the direction of the table where the maester was seated. He bumped into a couple on the dance floor slightly, but he didn't take the time to apologize, and continuing on toward the table and sat down in front of the maester.
"Maester Harlyn, I am Theobald Wull of the Clan Wull. I wish to speak to you about my father."

The maester, if surprised by the clansman, says nothing about it. "Go on, then." Some people about mumble about his appearance at the festivities.

But," her eyes met his, "I couldn't let it lie." "It was only a kiss," Benjen said quietly, calmly. "We had both returned from our journeys, terrible things seen and experienced. It meant nothing." |
