p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Evelyn stared at herself in the rugged mirror. In Winterfell there were no perfect mirrors but rather clusters of glass that made one look oblong like looking at your reflection in a pot. She had no idea why but her whole family had rebelled against her in deciding what to wear. The moment Sansa suggested her blue gown, that had just recently been made for her for special occasions, Arya agreed that she must wear it. Evelyn had sought out Robb and Jon for backup but even though both considered the fact that it would draw male eyes, they backed Arya and Sansa up. Even Bran and Rickon practically teared up, pleading with their sister for both adored the very dirt Evelyn walked on and loved it when she looked her best. /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Her mother had immediately agreed to the outfit and even gave the girl her silver feather earings which matched the color./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Evelyn knew her father would back her up when he realized the cut of the dress but when Ned Stark found himself facing off 99% of his family including Jon, he backed out. Trust the warrior to be the coward when it came to a family dual!/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Now, Evelyn stood before the mirror in a long blue gown that reached the top of her shoes. Her arms, neck and most of her collar bone and part of her back was bare. Shivering, she wrapped her cloak around her shoulders. She was hoping to keep it on as ong as possible. Her jet black hair was pulled up into a mostly up loose messy bun at the back of her head, two locks curling in front of her ears, framing her fair white face. /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The silver earrings accented the gold of her eyes and the darkness of her hair./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""It could be worse," she said aloud, "At least Sansa didn't have me wear makeup!"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Speak of the devil and he shall appear for Sansa appeared just then, a familiar box in her hands…. Her makeup box!/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Evelyn at once regretted telling Sansa two years ago that makeup was made of different plants, dyes and earthly materials. Sansa had almost held a knife to Evelyn's back, forcing her to make homemade makeup. Now, once a month Sansa made a visit to the girl's stall to order more makeup./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Sansa…" Evelyn started but Sansa cut her off./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Uh uh," Sansa said, "You will let me doll you up tonight!"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"As Sansa set to work preparing Evelyn, the older Stark noticed Sansa ha golden makeup on herself./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Already wearing the Lannister colors huh?" she teased./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Sansa blushed as she applied an eyeshadow to Evelyn's eyes, "Well I cannot stop Joffrey from looking at me."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""You're looking at him too," Evelyn observed, crossing her arms./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Sansa smirked as she opened the lipstick, "You're one to talk!"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I don't have my eyes on anyone," Evelyn retorted./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Sansa smiled, "I didn't mean that. I mean someone has his eyes on you"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Who? Theon?" Evelyn snorted, hoping to call Sansa's bluff./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Sansa shook her head, "The Queen's brother, the Kingslayer."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Evelyn froze which actually made Sansa happy for she needed to apply base color./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Jaime Lannister?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Sansa smirked, "First name basis huh?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""As if!" Evelyn shot back, "You do realize he is at least 10 years older than me?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""So what?" Sansa asked, "Mother and father aren't exactly the same age."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Evelyn shook her head, "You're making a deal out of nothing. Why would you even think the Kingslayer had eyes for me? Besides, he made a vow."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""In case you forgot, he was never one to stay true to vows," Sansa said, grabbing some rouge, "And yes, I have evidence of him watching you. Even Robb and Jon have noticed him looking at you. It's a miracle he doesn't burn a hole into your face at meals. You should have seen him yesterday when you and Robb were sparring."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Evelyn froze, "He…. Was watching?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Sansa nodded, noticing Evelyn's blushing face, "He and his sister."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Evelyn's mind flooded back to the day before in early morning…/p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Robb and Evelyn were always up before the sun. Ever since Robb lost an arm wrestle to Theon when they were ten, the twins would get up together and go horseback riding for an hour. During that time they would practice archery ad bring back rabbits which they would give away to whoever needed it. Once back, the sun would still be low so they would chop firewood till the others were awake, filling the stock pile. /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"That particular morning they were going hard at the logs. More logs were used with the guests so there was more wood needed to be cut./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The two had finally ended in a game. They would take turns throwing a log and the other would throw their hatchet to cut it midair to practice their aim. However, Evelyn wasn't the best with hatchets so she missed frequently and finally losing her patience, she drew her double swords that Jon had made her for her 15supth/supbirthday./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""ooh!" Rob hooted, "Someone lose their patience?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""none of your business," Evelyn sneered./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"She was always competitive with Robb and slightly dangerous in the morning./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Taking the two swords, she began to slice through logs mercilessly till all the logs were cut./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""You left none for me!" Robb whined./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Sighing, Evelyn turned on him with a smirk, "Want a round before breakfast?"br /Robb smiled back and drew his sword, "You're on!"br /Soon the two were going at it hard and both sweating from the exercise. Neither moved or wavered when blocking a blow and continued to carry on a conversation the whole time./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""One of these days I will not be here," Robb stated, "Who will you spend your mornings with when that happens?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""My husband. Duh!" Evelyn teased, noting Robb's shocked expression, "Those will be the good days."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Like that would happen!" Robb yelled, striking a blow but Evelyn blocked it./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Evelyn blocked another blow, "What? I will marry one day."br /"Not if I have anything to say about it," Robb snapped, "I'm not handing my sister off to some leech!"br /"What if I meet a lovely , kind man like father?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Then I might let you go," Robb observed, "He would have to be exceptionally smart, kind, brave and loyal. If he cheats on you or doesn't protect you, he'll face my wrath!"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Evelyn ducked and laid a blow, "So scary! I'll be sure to tell him about the time you proposed marriage to me!"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Robb's eyes widened, "I was only four! I was stupid then!"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Talking about how Robb wanted to marry you when you grew up?" Jon asked, having suddenly appeared./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Rob got distracted by his arrival and Evelyn tripped him, "I win. And yes, we were Jon."br /"Impeccable timing mate," Robb growled./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"What none of the three knew was that Jaime had seen the whole thing and had overheard it all. He stood still in his night garb on the balcony outside his bedroom that he shared with Tyrion. "Those children are so savage," Cersei remarked, appearing on the balcony from the room next door, "I thought Evelyn would have some manners but she's as bad as Arya."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Jaime looked down at the three and smiled. He wouldn't ever tell Cersei, but he found the bond between the three refreshing, strong and lovely to watch. But the certain Stark girl was what really caught his attention. Her calm but firm and brave outer shell, lacing her kind, soft and gentle gracefulness reminded him of the soft winter lilies he had seen in the woods. So pretty and fragile but so strong they only grew in the cold. Evelyn Stark…. Was a wonder./p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Stepping back, she took in her masterpiece. Evelyn's makeup was minimal but brought some color to her lips and cheeks. Silver dusting covered her eye lids while the mascara brought out her naturally long lashes./p
