Chapter 6
The road getting back to Winterfell didn't take as long as it was when were headed to Castle Black. We didn't stop until we were outside the gates to Winterfell, the guards escorted us immediately to the hall where Robb Stark sat. "I assumed lady Stark would be here to greet me." Robb Stark did not look happy to see us. "Why don't my guards escort lady Talana to her chambers, she must be tired from her long journey." Robb motioned for his guards to come forward, "Thank you, my lord, for allowing us to stay at Winterfell before we continue our long journey home." I bowed before I followed the guards out of the hall and down the long hallway to the stairs that led up to the chambers. I stayed in my chamber's until I heard someone knock lightly on the door, I opened the door, Robb was standing there. "I hope it is not too late to see you." I smiled at Robb as I opened the door to let Robb into my chambers, "it is fine, I could use some company." Robb walked into my chambers and took a seat by the fire, I closed the door and made my way over to the fire and sat down next to him.
"It is a pleasure to be able to look upon your beautiful face again, I thought I would have to go the rest of my life without getting to see you again, and yet after such a short time you grace me with your presents again." I smiled as a small blush creeped up to my cheeks.
"Thank you, but I am only a bastard, it is you who has graced me with your presents, my lord."
"That doesn't matter to me, my brother, Jon Snow, is a bastard and I still consider him a brother. I don't care about who your mother is or who your father is, I have been watching you from afar and I have grown to admire you." I opened my mouth to say something when there was a knock on the door, I jumped up and ran to the door, I opened the door to see my maid waiting. "Am I interrupting you my lady?"
"No, please, Lord Robb was just leaving." I looked over at Robb, he stood up and walked to the door, my maid, Jeyne stepped aside and let Robb pass. "Good night Lady Talana, Lady Jeyne." Robb gave a little bow before he walked down the hall. Once I closed the door Jeyne started rambling and asking questions, "Why was Robb in your chambers at this time of night?"
"I think he was going to propose marriage to me."
