Relief was spread through her being; in a matter of moments she had gone through a whirlwind of emotions. “ Can we — ? Can we go see it? ” She asked softly, “ Once they are gone, can we go see it? I can show you, my home,” She laughed softly in his ear, “Oh, how wonderful that sounds: my home! Of course, truly my home is wherever you are, but – that place holds a lot of memories,” She pulled back to look in his eyes, “Thank you, thank you so much.” She murmured softly, leaning up to softly kiss his lips.

“We can go whenever you want, it’s your home now,” he chuckled, turning his head to press a kiss by her ear as his arms remained firmly around her. A smile held his lips captive but it only grew once she looked upon him again, his hands slipping to press against her back. “Don’t thank me, I hardly did anything and it was all your influence. What is it you always say...have courage and be one step ahead? Something like that?” The smile upon his lips took a teasing turn, his voice drifting off once he was silenced by her lips and absolutely powerless against kissing her back.

Ella looked up at him when he moved closer. His very touch could sooth her anger in a heartbeat. Confusion was evident in her expression; he had known about her family home? Had known that her witch of a step mother was going to sell it away? “I can imagine, it is a beautiful home,” she said softly. A panic settled in her chest when he said that one buyer wanted to turn the place into a smithy and she could not fight the tears at the thought. His next words caused the tears to fall and surprise illuminated her features, “ You — you did? ” She asked, a daring hope beginning to form in her chest. She moved forward and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. “ How did you manage to do it? Why did she let you? ”

It wasn’t his place and he knew that, he simply hoped that she wouldn’t see it as him overstepping any boundaries. For a moment he was hesitant, trying to read her, but his concerns were put to rest once he felt her arms wrapping around him. “How could she refuse?” he asked quietly, circling his arms around her with a firm squeeze. “She needed money, I don’t think she cared where it came from in the end. Does it really matter how? It’s your house again, you can do with it what you please.”

Ella was clutching a letter in her hand; the paper becoming creased with the effort of how tightly she was holding it. She closed her eyes for a moment and drew in a very deep breath, “ I apologize. I just – received a letter from my step sister is all. Marriage plans and such, then at the very bottom of the letter after all is said and done, at the very bottom and nonchalantly, she writes that ‘dearest Mama has sold the house so that we may all prosper and meet our dowries.’ The woman has sold my family home without so much as a second thought, ” she looks to him and sighs, “ I apologize for being angry, I am not angry with you. ”

“No no, you have every right to be angry,” he shook his head as he drew closer and reached to take hold of her hands between his own, grasping them as if he held a baby bird in need of shelter. “I know-” he began, looking to her with an almost guilty expression dancing across his features. “I heard some time ago that they were looking to sell, quite a lot of buyers had their eye on it too; one wanted to turn it into some sort of smithy I think.” For a moment his faze fell to their hands, his thumbs brushing against her porcelain skin before Tully-blue eyes lifted to look to her again. “So I bought it for you.”

with a chuckle and a shake of his head, robb raised a hand which slightly ruffled his auburn curls as he moved slightly back from his desk. “if that wouldn’t be so much trouble, please. shall i send someone after you in case you fall asleep on the way?”

laughter and squeaks bubbled out of the blonde’s lips as she tried to make her way to the children. she looked at the children and pulled a funny face when robb called out behind them. she could hear his laughter even from this distance. “ i dare, indeed! ” she called back over her shoulder. she watched a snowball go whizzing by before hearing crunching footsteps behind her. she tried to push her feet a little faster, but her sopping cloak make it harder to run. she had just barely reached the children when she felt strong arms tugging her waist and then she was falling into cold snow. though, she found once she hit the ground she could hardly feel the cold anymore. maybe she was beginning to get used to winterfell. her chest rose and fell as ghostly breath passed her lips, “ treason to strike my king with a snowball? the king of the NORTH is offended by snow? ” she asks as laughter passes her lips. pushing herself up so there’s mere inches between them. “ if i say the idea was all the children’s would that make my blunder any better? ” the smile never leaves her lips, not once. she’s known since she got here that she has a soft spot for robb, but moments like these, when a little tension runs between them, are her favorite. still, the position their in may not be the most appropriate for governess and man of the house. yet, she’s perfectly content to stay in this bubble even if a relationship between them could never be possible.

northerniisms

it wasn’t so much ella’s presence which brought robb out of his shell, at least it wasn’t at first, but since she happened to be around his children more often than not she managed to catch a glimpse at the man beneath the crown. for everyone else he had to remain firm, be a leader and a strict one at that, but still fair, his children were the only ones who then got to experience how he truly was. of course sometimes things got on top of him, but he tried to keep his time with them as true to who he was as possible. he didn’t want them to grow up to fear him in an awful way, for them he wanted the same great upbringing his father had given him; a great man Eddard was too. though he hadn’t expected that attitude would lead to rolling in the snow with his childrens’ governess. “i’m afraid i would believe you if you did blame them. but no, my lady, the king in the north finds his STRENGTH within the snow.” it took a moment before robb had noticed how close their faces were, once realization set in he was almost startled, frozen like a hunted deer. months it had been since he had found himself so close to a woman and it took another snowball to the back of the head for him to snap out of such a trance. “i believe we’re under attack, miss ella,” he grinned as he pushed himself to his feet, extending a hand to help the golden haired woman up from the snow covered ground before he lunged again, this time towards the children. in little to no time he was throwing his youngest daughter, alys, in the air, his grin only growing at the sound of her childish giggles. “is this the mastermind behind the attack!?” he shouted to the other children, holding alys with one arm before he swept the eldest child, dacey, into his other arm. “it’s always the women causing all of the trouble.”

eyebrows crease slightly when he says that winter is finally here. the words want to make her laugh, almost. she could have sworn that winter had been here for months already with how cold the days seemed to be. still, her own cloak is weighed down with melted snow and her hair has flakes melting within. she doesn’t mind; not when the children are having fun. a smile pulls across her lips as he makes his way to the door and she follows easily, “ they’ve build a snow fortress; they want to show you! ” she exclaims happily; little does he know what’s actually hiding behind that fortress. those children of his, the three oldest anyway, each had ten snowballs to their name. and ella even has a few piled by the door for herself. robb has been couped up all day, it’s time for some fun. as soon as then step outside, there was no sound to greet them. and then, dacey’s little head popped up and a snowball was lobbed but missed robb. ella, however, made up for the miss by hitting him with a snowball; right on the back of the head. the blonde then, knowing what was best for her, made a running start towards the fortress. all the while, she could hear the ringing of the children’s laughter.

the king in the north had many duties and an even greater number of lives to care for. he wasn’t just the warden of the north, as his father had been before him, he had been crowned by his own men and therefor had a reputation to uphold and business to deal with. however, regardless of the white raven that had arrived with news of winter, the happiness and welfare of his own children would always be robb’s greatest priority; just as his father had believed before him. perhaps he had grown distant after the death of their mother, the weight of the crown and new role as a single parent weighing heavy on his shoulders, but he was then more determined than ever to make up for it. once they made their way outside his brow creased, his eyes slowly adjusting to the sudden burst of daylight to see that there was indeed a fortress but no children in sight. eventually he saw his eldest daughter’s auburn hair among the snow, a rather proud-father’s smile tugging at his lips as she came into view before his head dodged the snow that flew in his direction. there was little to no time for a reaction, he hadn’t even made a step forward when the sudden feeling of cold hit him in the back of the head and began to melt into his own auburn curls. “you DARE attack the king in the north?!” his voice boomed through the courtyard while he was unable to fight away the grin and chuckle which was drawn from him. robb had quickly gathered some snow into his gloved hands, rolled it into a ball and threw it in the children’s direction but missed. his next reaction was a rather brash one. rushing towards the fortress, lord stark reached for the governess whom had hit him earlier, caught her by the waist and sent them both tumbling down into the snow, only adding to the laughter and screams from the children. “did y’not know it’s treason to strike your king?!”

“of course,” he nodded, barely lifting his gaze from the small roll of parchment in his hand. there was some delay before he slowly began to stand, eventually raising his gaze to look to the golden haired woman with a strained smile. “from the citadel, winter’s finally here.” robb stepped away from his desk with only those few words, leaving the raven among others before reaching for his cloak as he made his way towards ella and the door. “now what are those children of mine up to?”

a smile, somwhere between a smirk and a cheeky grin, crossed her features as his voice lowered. she could feel the warmth of his body pressed against hers when his arms held her around the waist. she couldn’t stop the fleeting thought of ‘i wish this night could last forever’. before she could get another word out, robb was scooping her up as if she weighed nothing more than air. a quiet squeak that sounded very similar to “ robb! ” escaped her. a soft kiss was pressed to his jaw before he placed her down on the bed. a soft giggle escaped her as her head hit the pillow and she looked up into blue eyes she adored so much. she’d spend the night memorizing those eyes and still the color would take her breath away the next time she saw him. then, he was offering something to her. a small pouch, it looked like. confusion played across her face for a moment before she pushed herself up to lean against the headboard. taking the small pouch between delicate fingers, she unties the draw string before pulling the pouch open. reaching in, her fingers brush against cool metal. pulling out the object, she looks it over before realization dawns on her. a direwolf. a silver direwolf broach.

eyes begin to water again ( crying will be a staple tonight, it seems ) as she looks upon the gorgeously crafted gift. “ oh, robb. ” she says quietly, a grin pulling at her lips before she looks up at him. she turns the direwolf over in her hands ( during the years while he is away, the silver will run smooth from her running her fingers over it ). the blonde passed the message a few times before her eye catches her name etched into the metal. reading over the words, a tear slips from the corner of her eye. anyone who would doubts their love could see at least their involvement with this token. she slides the broach back into it’s pouch and leans forward to reach around him and place it on the nightstand. as she moves back though, leans up to kiss him. “ thank you. ” she murmurs as she pulls away, “ it’s beautiful. i love it. ” shifting slightly, she wraps an arm around his waist to try and tug him into bed with her. once she’s situated fully on the bed, she says, “ you will always be my king, my lord, and my robb. ” the last words take on a bit of possessiveness. shifting in the bed, she snuggles down beside him so that they’re barely inches apart. “ how lovely it would be to run away and just – hide away from everything. ” she looks up at him under darkened lashes, though the gaze isn’t as noticible in the dark. “ if you could go anywhere in the world right now, without any consequence and be able to enjoy yourself in peace, where would you go? ” she asks this because it’s easier than talking about war, it’s easier than talking about being apart. it’s easier for her to pretend right now.

it was a risk, a great one at that, to gift her a stark token before sending ella back to her lannister father but he had to assure her somehow that it wouldn’t be the end. he would curse the war each and every day for putting distance between them, for placing his sisters in greater danger, but it was necessary. the war of the five kings was greater than himself, greater than any of them, to robb it was the independence of the north and the safety of it’s people for many years to come. it was for families and their children, giving them a safe place to grow and create families of their own without the iron throne holding power over them. they may have been safe under king robert’s rule but the lannisters could not be trusted.

the war was seeping deeper into robb’s veins, each day he found himself becoming more a soldier and a leader than the person he was before and he was about to free the one person keeping him anchored to the boy he once was. the feeling of ella’s lips against his brought him out of his thoughts of war and blood shed, his own lips forming a slight pout once she pulled away before he wasted little time in moving to lay beside her on the bed. with a nod of his head he gestured for her to move closer to him as she was doing just that, his arm lifting to wrap around her so he could pull her as close to him as possible. “anywhere?” he repeated, moving his free hand to brush her golden hair away from her face as the other rested against her side. “i’d return to winterfell. even though i would have to take my father’s place i would go home, he was happy there once so it must be possible to be warden of the north and be content; though i think that had something to do with my mother too.” he paused, casting his eyes to the ceiling above him. “i was born here, did you know that? my mother and father were wed here before he went off to fight in robert’s rebellion, when he returned she presented him with their first born and he presented her with jon. i don’t think then they would have imagined being as happy as they were, my mother always said love wasn’t something that just happened to them, they had to build it over their years together,” with another paused he turned his head to look down at ella again, his tully-blue eyes gazing over her face in his silence. “i imagined i would face the same, marying a wife i would have to learn to love, but then you... gods, you hit me like an arrow to the chest.” for a moment he chuckled to himself, shaking his head at how off topic he had gone in his rambling before deciding to rein the conversation in. “where would you go?”
