As soon as both the girls and the guys had changed into the other clothes they had with them, Ned brought them out into the courtyard. "Stay here, I'll go get my family to introduce to you," Ned said to them.
Charlie, turned to her friends grinning as soon as Ned left. "Guys, we're actually going to meet the Starks!" Charlie exclaimed, "Although I sort of already met Rickon Stark, but it didn't really count."
"How did you meet Rickon?" Robbie asked amazed, "Actually no, forget that, when did you meet Rickon Stark! Why didn't you tell us?"
"I'm telling you now am I not?" Charlie asked him, amused, "When I woke up, Rickon burst into the room and was like a little ball of energy."
They all laughed, at the description Charlie had given for the youngest Stark. Robbie swung his quiver around, and pulled a bar of Cadbury's out of the quiver, and swung the quiver back onto his back.
"Do you always have chocolate with you?" Matthew asked, watching Robbie in amusement.
"Yup," Robbie answered, as he happily began to unwrap the chocolate bar, "imagine how horrible the world would be without Cadbury's chocolate!"
As Robbie was looking up at the others for their reactions to that horrible thought, Charlie grabbed the chocolate bar and took a large bite out of it. The others looked at Robbie in amusement, waiting for his reaction. For a few seconds, he stood there frozen in shock, before he quickly began to sprint after Charlie who had started running as soon as she saw the look on Robbie's face.
The Stark family walked into the courtyard to see a young woman being chased around by a young man. "The young woman that's running, that's Charlie," Ned said to his family, "the young man chasing her is Robbie." Charlie began running towards Ned and his family, but was promptly tackled to the ground.
"Are you okay Charlie?" Nadia asked, trying not to laugh as her friend glared at William who was lying beside her.
"Traitor!" Charlie exclaimed looking at William, "I thought we were friends. But no, you betrayed me!"
William laughed at Charlie's dramatics, and Ned watched the group in amusement, as did his family. Alex cleared her throat, and William stood up, finally noticing the Starks, and gave Charlie a hand up. Robbie walked over, smiling, and Charlie gave him his chocolate back.
"May I introduce my family," Ned said, smiling at the group as they tried to look dignified.
"Charlie, I believe this is your area of expertise," Matthew said smiling, before gently pushing her forward, "Charlie here, already knows the names of your family and would like to see if she could get their names right, if that's okay with you, my lord Stark."
"Of course," Ned said, and his family looked at him surprised.
Charlie glared at Matthew and punched his arm, before grinning at the Starks. She first walked to Lady Catelyn Stark. She had auburn hair and green eyes, she was rather pale compared to Charlie and her friends. "My lady Catelyn, it's an honour to meet you," Charlie said bowing to her, "I apologize for the horrible monstrosity behind me which is Robbie."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Charlie," Lady Stark said, smiling at the young woman, she reminded her of Arya.
Charlie moved onto the young man standing beside Lady Stark, he looked to be about seventeen. He also had auburn hair which was short and curly along with dark blue eyes, he too was rather pale. He was about five foot nine, and seemed fairly muscular. "You're Robb Stark, I heard you're good with a blade," Charlie said smiling at him. Robb smiled at the compliment, and figured he would get along well with Charlie, there was something about her that made him trust her.
Charlie moved down the line, and grinned at the young woman, she was about fifteen or sixteen and had auburn hair and green eyes. She too was rather pale, but had a delicate face. "My lady, Sansa," Charlie said grinning, "it's a pleasure to meet you." Sansa nodded at her politely, Robbie walked over to stand beside Charlie and kissed Sansa's hand.
Charlie moved on once again, her grin widening when she looked at the next Stark child. She was about fourteen and had long straight brown hair and green eyes, she was a bit short for a girl her age and was rather unhappily in a dress. "Arya Stark," Charlie said to the young girl, "I've heard, that you're very good at archery, perhaps I could give you a few pointers to improve it even more." Arya smiled up at Charlie, who winked at her.
"Bran," Charlie said, looking at the second youngest of the Starks, "you enjoy climbing do you not? My friends and I also enjoy climbing, perhaps you could show us the best places to climb." Bran smiled at her as well, he had dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, he was about thirteen.
"Nice to see you again, Rickon," Charlie said smiling gently down at the youngest Stark. He smiled shyly up at Charlie. Charlie looked around, before spotting a young man standing behind Robb.
"Where's Jon?" Robbie asked confused, as he too, looked around.
"Robbie, he's behind Robb," Alex answered Robbie, smiling as he looked over at Robb and finally noticed Jon standing behind him.
"Jon Snow," Charlie said, turning her smile on Jon, "you look a lot like a Stark, did you know that? It's actually rather amazing how similar you look to your father and to Arya. But I suppose that's because you're related, sorry I'm babbling again, sorry."
Ned laughed at Charlie's sheepish expression. Alex stepped forward, smiling at a rather amused Jon Snow, who was now standing beside Robb instead of behind him. "I apologize for Charlie," Alex said, "we think she was dropped on her head as a baby or perhaps thrown down a hill."
"OI! Charlie exclaimed, looking at Alex with mock hurt.
"She's just telling him the truth, Charlie," Jess said, teasingly.
"I don't even know why I am friends with you people," Charlie said, smiling nonetheless.
"Perhaps, I should introduce you to my children now," Ned said to them.
"We would be honoured," William replied to Ned.
"This is Charlie Moore," Ned said gesturing towards Charlie. She wore a dark leather green jerkin with her black sword belt going around her waist holding two daggers in it. She had black breeches on with black boots also. She was wearing a tattered green hooded cloak, but Ned and the Starks could see that underneath the cloak she wore a quiver, and over it was her bow.
"That's Donnie Berrill," Ned said gesturing towards Donnie, and using his nickname. He wore a dark brown leather jerkin with white shirt underneath, along with a pair of black breeches, and black boots. He had a criss-crossed black belt around his hips with his sword in it's sheath. Sansa blushed slightly when she saw him, while Robb and Jon were wondering how good he was with his sword.
"That's Alex Dunne," Ned said, pointing to Alex. She wore a brown leather top with no sleeves, and a strap going from where it was across to her opposite shoulder and to the back of her top, and a brown skirt with black breeches underneath. She had dark brown leather boots which had a slight heel, and a brown sword belt with her sword and sheath and a small dagger in it.
"And her sister, Jess Dunne," Ned said, gesturing to Jess. She wore a dark armour with a slightly lighter skirt armour, and black leather leggings. She had black leather boots with the same heel as Alex, and her sword belt also held her sword in it's sheath and the same dagger that Alex had. Jon smiled at her shyly, and she smiled back at him.
"Matthew Murphy," Ned said, pointing to him. He wore a dark brown jerkin with short sleeves which were a lighter brown, along with his black breeches and black boots. His sword was in his sword belt while his silver shield with a red lion in the middle was strapped to his back. Sansa blushed when she saw him as well, while this time Arya was wondering how good a swordsman he was.
"William Walsh," Ned said, pointing to William. He wore a dark brown leather armour with black leather trousers, and black leather boots. In his sword belt which was resting on his hips with two daggers in it, with wooden handles.
"Robbie Smith," Ned said pointing to Robbie. Who wore black breeches and a green shirt with a hood, and a brown sleeveless open tunic over it, and a black belt going around his stomach with a pocket in it and black boots. In the belt he had a small dagger, with a black handle. He had a bow across one shoulder and his neck and his blue quiver was under it.
"And finally, Nadia Kelly," Ned said, pointing to Nadia. Who was wearing a green tunic with a brown piece of armour over it, and black leather leggings, and brown boots. She had her bow on the same way Robbie and Charlie did, with her black quiver underneath it.
"Now, what are you all doing here?" Ned asked them.
"Well, we were basically dumped here by Charlie's cousin," Robbie answered, "we don't have any family in Westeros."
"Excuse us, while I talk with my husband and my family," Lady Catelyn said.
"Of course, my Lady," Matthew replied to her. Catelyn, Ned and the Stark children walked off a bit and began talking. After a few minutes they came back, and they were all smiling.
"Jon and Robb will show you to your rooms," Lady Catelyn said smiling at them.
"Our rooms?" Nadia asked, not sure if she had heard Catelyn correctly.
"Well of course, you will need rooms seeing as how you're staying here," Ned said, grinning at them.
"We're staying here!" Matt exclaimed, excitedly.
"Yes, we have decided, that we could take the girls in as our wards, and the guys can be their protectors," Catelyn said.
"Thank you!" Charlie said happily, and hugged Ned, before hugging Catelyn, "Thank you so much for giving us a place to stay."
I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Sorry for the late update, sorry if this seems a bit OOC, a lot more will be happening in the next chapter, I promise. You'll be finding out which Greek Gods they are in the next chapter possibly.
