Chapter 5
Catelyn Stark smiled gently to herself, it was a regular day in Winterfell; some days had passed and news was getting around the castle. Good news, Arya was recovering; in fact, there was hope she was fully recovered by now. All the same, Catelyn expected her daughter to take it easy for a few days, ensure her full recovery.
That turned out not to be the case, as she soon saw.
'Gods.' She thought to herself when she saw.
There, in the training yard, despite having only just recovered, was Arya. She was fully dressed and working on her Water Dancing, a dedicated expression on her face.
Catelyn shook her head. 'It's so soon, isn't she worried she might not…'
Shaking her head Catelyn quickly approached.
"Arya."
Arya stopped and turned to her, smiling, the only remaining sign of her illness being a touch of red still colouring her cheeks.
"Hello Mother."
Catelyn sighed. "Arya, are you sure you are well enough for such strenuous activity so soon, I mean."
Arya's smile widened. "I know what you mean mother, but I am fine, really. Besides I must catch up on what I've missed."
Catelyn knew right away, when Arya was in this mind-set, there was no arguing with her.
It was then Gendry joined them, smiling gently.
"You're serious about this Arya, getting back into training so soon after your recovery?"
Arya rolled her eyes. "Well of course, how else am I supposed to keep on top of everything, I need to catch up, otherwise I'll have to work even harder to get strong again."
Gendry nodded. "Alright then, let's go."
Both Catelyn and Arya were startled by that at first, but then realized what was going on and smiled. So Arya and Gendry began sparring, which also ensured Gendry could watch over Arya, in case she fell ill again. Arya meanwhile couldn't help but note; despite how terrible she had felt while ill, she felt good too, happy. The reason was simple.
'All my family were there, they all turned up to help me, in whatever way they could.' She thought to herself.
It felt good to know, that they were all there and cared for her when she needed it most.
End of chapter and of story, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
