It’s a learning process, is it not?
Thank you, Lorryn. [smiles] That, and my sister’s soon to be. I suppose there will be.
Yes, I've learned more than I cared to know in the last few moons.Â
Of course, that is so exciting! How long do you have until it's birth?Â
Oh for the love of everything that is holy!
Just because I dislike your husband, it does not mean such feelings could also be transferred to you. [shrugs. while walking to the Stark Keep] Keeps you up? Callahan is almost four moons, how old is your little one? Eon, is it?
I'm very glad to hear that. [she smiles a little] He's almost seven moons, actually. But of course he does, the little devil still hasn't learned how to sleep properly. Torrhen blames me, because I'm always up at his beck and call.. but I just can't hear him cry.Â
[smirks] You sound like a mother. Not an unprepared one. A friend of mine told me once that no woman really knows what they are doing until a babe is in their arms. Seems logical.
Oh. [smiles] I am actually with child; I thought I mentioned. So yes, I shall see what you speak of in moons to come.
Gods, I hope your friend is right.. it would definitely make me feel better.Â
[her whole face lights up] You definitely did not mention that! Congratulations Akira! That's so exciting! Between you and Cai, there will be little wolves running around Winterfell again.Â
Oh for the love of everything that is holy!
Why could you not? [furrows her brows] It’s not like I hide him from the world. [chuckles, looking at Lorryn’s guards] The Stark Keep, actually. [looks at Lorryn] I have been living with the Starks ever since I married one, over two years ago, remember? Ah, yes… how is your little one?
Well, I heard thing shave been rocky between you and my husband. [shakes her head] Right, of course. Stark Keep. [she smiles back at Caileigh] I always forget. [she smiles, continuing their walk over to her side of the Red Keep] He's wonderful.. keeps me up day and night.. but wonderful.Â
That sounds horridly stressful.... But still, cute.
[shrugs] He's not just cute.. he's worth it. All of it. All of the dreams I gave up to be with Torrhen.. all of the pride I gave up carrying his bastard child.. and all of the stress of being an underprepared mother. He's worth it all.Â
Do you think you'll ever have children, Akira?
Romantic was never nothing we were striving for but it is amusing to say the least to know that people talk about it. [raises an eyebrow] Speaking of... How is your little one? Um... I cannot remember his name.
Eon, his name is Eon. [she smiles] He's my world now, I guess. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning because I don't know what I'm doing, and sometimes I miss how much simpler my life was when.. well, actually I guess things haven't been simple since I fell in love with Torrhen. But every so often, a moment comes along and reminds me that despite it all, I am happy.Â
[laughs] He’s tough enough to deal with me on a regular basis. Have you met my husband, Lorryn?
No, I haven't had the pleasure, but from what I've heard from my chambermaids.. he's quite the looker. [a little embarrassed] I shouldn't have indulged their stories, but I needed to hear about something other than spit up or binkies. It was hard at the beginning.. I'd just gotten married but I traded newlywed bliss for diapers rashes. Your story seemed so romantic that I urged the maids to continue telling it.
Oh no, it’s the wolf’s blood. I probably just do not help matters with my abrasive ways.
[grins] From what I have heard, Darkford doesn't mind your "abrasive ways"..Â
Yes. Which is why you have to have tough skin if you speak to me.
[giggles] Lucky me.Â
Are you the reason all of the Starks are so tough? Here I'd thought it was the "wolf's blood" and everything.
Oh for the love of everything that is holy!
He is wonderful, actually. Growing as stubborn as his mother and adorable as his father, if I dare say so. [smiles, tilting her head to the side] Well, I have been cooped up in my room, and you have been taking care of your own child. No one is to blame here. You can meet him now if you’d like.
Could I really? [smiles] I'd love that, Cai. Here.. [she turns to one of her guards and asks him to send Eon and Septa Marnei over to the Baratheon chambers in the Keep] Now our boys can meet one another too.Â
Oh for the love of everything that is holy!
I’ll always be a Baratheon of Storm’s End, Lor. No matter who I marry… Ryon knows that and he respects that. I’ll raise my children with the honor of the Starks, but they’ll have Baratheon blood running through his veins as well, so I’ll make sure they know that.
[smiles at her mention of Callahan] And how is the little wolf pup? Akira tells me Cal is such a beautiful baby boy. Can I ask why I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him?
This has nothing to do with who has the child or doesn’t. I am probably going to be the only one around here who would give you an honest answer so stop being egotistical and just accept the note.
There you go. That’s trying. Better than a few moments ago when you were being a defeatist.
[Lorryn wants to argue with her, defensive of herself, but she doesn't]Â
You give the absolute worst pep talks. Has anyone ever told you that?
Oh for the love of everything that is holy!
I do love the summer, when there are rains and, more precisely, storms involved, Lady Greyjoy. Perhaps I have grown accustomed to the winter?
No, I do not think that is possible. I do miss the storms, though.
[smiles a little] I'm glad to hear you're still the little doe I once knew. I know I can't describe myself as a kraken just yet.. doesn't seem right.
Oh for the love of everything that is holy!
Why must it be so hot in the Capitol?
To think, you used to last whole months down in Highgarden. What happened to your love of summer, Lady Stark?Â
Mothers need breaks, don’t they? Your child isn’t going to hold anything against you for this. But keep up the self-defeating attitude and he might later on.
Maybe you are selfish. So what. The point is that you have a child now so just focus on that.
[nods, agreeing before glaring at her slightly] Are you lecturing me on how to raise my child? Have one for yourself before to cast any blame on me..Â
I am selfish, but I can learn not to be. Children do that, don't they?
[rubs her eyes] He's driving me mad.. I can't.. think anymore with his screaming. He screams all the time, and I never know why. So I left.. gods forgive me, I just handed my son to the wet nurse and walked out of the room without a word.
[shakes her head, saying this mostly to herself] I should've known. I'm too selfish to be a mother.. I never think about anyone but myself, and I'm not ready. Not that we planned on having a bastard, but really.Â
