A/N: Hiya! Feeling a bit hungover really, but wanted to post another chapter! That's dedication haha! Anyways, hope you enjoy!
Roslin tried to flush away the butterflies as she walked away from Robb and the horses. Yet a blissful smile was threatening to creep on her lips as she passed various servants in the hallway.
"Roslin!" A voice caused her to snap her head up in surprise. By the time she turned her head Alys was already by her side, an anxious expression printed on her face. Roslin bit her lip, hoping it would hide her now curved lips.
"Everyone-" Alys eyed her sister within seconds of seeing her face. "What are you smiling at?" Alys raised an eyebrow and latched onto her sister's arm. Roslin shook her head, not even her really knowing what had caused it…could it really have been Robb Stark, or maybe it was being able to forget about everything while racing on her horse.
Alys narrowed her eyes toward her sister again, "You are a horrible liar" Roslin and her both giggled, "Just something I'll have to keep practising"
"Well everyone is waiting for you in the Great Hall. Well when I mean everyone just our sister's and Lady Stark...they're trying to figure out which flowers you'll have…seeing as we don't have many available to us"
"That is a dilmea..." Roslin rolled her eyes slightly. Alys nudged her sister, "You know you these things are supposed to matter to you!"
Roslin nodded, "They do, they do…I am just tired" She said somewhat convincingly.
"Where are you always going off to?" Alys asked without hesitation, wanting to know the answers for years, yet never finding an answer.
"That is for me to know, and you to…guess!" Roslin giving her sister a cheeky grin which Alys repled by rolling her eyes.
The meeting was quite dull, just as Roslin expceted. She nodded when she was supposed to and spoke when she had an opinion but mostly her sisters and Catelyn talked about the wedding.
"Oh dear, you all should get ready for Dinner…it's almost sundown" Catelyn stood, the others following. Roslin could hardly believe they had spent the whole day in the same room. Her legs almost gave out on her while she stood from her seat.
Roslin made her way to her chambers, infront of her sister Alys and Arwyn who continued to talk about the flowers. "Roslin, you should change into your Blue gown tonight…it will go nicely with the necklace Lord Tully gave you" Roslin nodded in agreement, then stopped dead in her tracks and reached to her dress pocket. Her eyes widened when she felt the jewel no longer there.
"What is it?" Alys asked while passing her sister.
Roslin bit her lip, "I left something in the Great Hall…I'll meet you back in my chambers" Alys raised her eyebrow curiously while Arwyn nodded happily.
When her sisters were around the corner Roslin made her way hastly back to the Great Hall. To her dissapointment the necklace was not there. She paced the room thinking about her day, and the only place she could think of was the stables, or the river…she didn't have time to go back to the river, but she hurried to the stables. She moved around the tied up horses and the mud, but cursed herself mentally when the jewel wasn't found. Silently she sulked back to her chambers. What was she to do now? If Edmure knew she had lost it, he would surely think lowely of her…if he didn't already.
"Roslin, put this one on. It's such a lovely colour on you" Arwyn presented a blue satin dress and laid it on her bed just as Roslin opened her chamber door.
Roslin hesitated; "I think I'll wear the emerald one" She tried not to sound nervous.
"But this one will go so perfectly with the necklace" Arwyn said dissapointedly, smoothing the wrinkles from the dress.
"I'll wear it tomorrow evening then…I don't feel like wearing any jewlery tonight" Roslin picked out the other dress and brought it over to the bed.
"Why?" Alys questoined with a hint of nosyness to her tone.
Roslin shrugged, not able to find a good excuse in time. "You should be wearing it all the time if Edmure gave it to you" Alys moved from her seat across the room toward Roslin's side.
"It's such a precious jewel, I don't want to show off it off…" Roslin avoided her sister's gave and started to upbutton her dress. Alys left the conversation at that and helped her sister dress.
The three of the sisters walked toward the Great Hall, mindlessly chattering before being joined by Catelyn, Robb Stark and her father.
Her future sister in law and her father paid little attention to the girls as they were deep in conversation. They lead the way down the hall, while her sisters began to walk behind. Roslin took only a few steps before her name was being said behind her. She turned quickly to see Robb standing a few feet behind her.
"This is yours, I believe" Robb held a necklace in his hands, holding it delicately.
Roslin gasped moving her hand to her parted lips. "Oh M'Lord, where did you find it?" Robb smiled walking to her, gently reaching around her and resting the jewel around her neck causing their faces to be inches apart.
Roslin's lips curved into a small timid smile while she glanced at the ground.
"By the stables, right after we returned this morning" Robb stepped back as Roslin took a quick look at the jewel.
"Thank you… i thought I'd lost it for good" Roslin glimpsed back up at Robb, who was admiring the jewel aswell.
"A jewel like that can only be worn by someone as beautiful as you" Robb uttered, breathing out an embarrassed laugh. Roslin blushed, "Thank you…but I don't think ill ever get used to such jewels"
"You will…with time" Robb said assuringly, "Suppose we should catch up with your father and the others" Roslin nodded tamely.
"Are you going to miss home?" Robb asked while they began to walk toward the Great Hall, now seeing the others in sight. Roslin waited a few seconds before replying, "I will miss my sisters…but with every sacrifice comes a remuneration"
Robb grinned at her with an admirational stare, "You'll make a great Lady of Riverrun" Roslin blushed at the compliment, "There is much to learn" roslin said honestly.
"You'll learn quickly, and you'll have lots of help" Roslin hoped he was right, but she wasn't sure of anything nowadays, only that she blushed atleast 20 times a day.
By now they were in the Great Hall, Robb nodded and gave a warm smile before they parted ways when they reached the High table.
Edmure stood as Roslin came CLOSER; she had hardly noticed him sitting there. "Goodevening Roslin" He pulled out her chair, she smiled and sat, "Thank you"
"The necklace is hardly doing you justice" Edmure began as he sat beside her, it wasn't usually tradition for the two to sit together, but she assumed her father wanted them to talk more.
Roslin laughed slightly, "It's far beyond anything I've ever possessed" She said truthfully.
"There is more to come" He said with a quick wink, Roslin nervously smiled and blushed. They talked for A WHILE but Roslin could see he was a little less enthusiatic than usual.
Less than an hour had passed an Roslin noticed Edmure's hand begin shaking and his face becoming a bit paler. "Are you alright?" Roslin finally asked.
Edmure nodded his head lightly, trying to focus his vision. "I think I've had one too many glasses of wine today. I feel I should retire for the evening." He stood up slowly, Roslin watching waryly. "Goodnight Roslin"
"Goodnight" Roslin carefully observed Edmure as he bid goodnight to the others and walked out of the Great Hall.
She could see those around her not care much about the Lord's sudden absense, but when she stole a glance to Robb Stark he had a worried expression as his friend left the hall.
Unpredictably Robb turned his head to her, catching her curious stare. Her cheeks flushed crinsom an embarrassed smile creeping on her lips. He smiled at her before being interupted by a Bannerman's question.
Roslin chatted with Catelyn Stark and her sisters. Once the feast was over, all of the ladies made their way to their chambers; leaving the men to drink and parade around until the wee hours of the night. Roslin and her sisters kissed their fathers cheek, and before Roslin turned the corner she dared to look back at Lord Stark. To whom was already looking in her direction, he smiled at her tenderly she doing the same, both silently saying goodnight.
