Now for the first-time John felt as if he was special, he felt lucky, and he felt powerful. He ran from the room and through the holdfast without wasting a single moment. He had to tell his best friend what was going on in his life, and the greatest thing he had found out. As he burst into Mara's room however, he was halted by the sight of her naked body as she was climbing from a bathtub. She saw him and he saw her the two of them were as statues for a moment with sheer surprise and disbelief. Then Mara did something that John had never seen her do before, she blushed bright read turning almost as red as her hair. She picked up a brush and threw it at him making no sound, but she was clearly upset.
John had enough time to come to his senses and close the door before the brush would've hit him. He stood there a long moment before he turned to walk away from the door. He didn't get more than two paces when he was dragged in by his collar and thrown onto Mara's bed. Being slammed to it he was now looking up at her stark naked he couldn't help but blush himself truly embarrassed for her and himself. The floor was as red as Mara's head, she stood there naked as the day she was born. After a minute, she spoke "You get naked right now! I won't let you leave until you do! Then we will be even!"
He didn't know how to react instead he just stared up at his best friend, his childhood bully, his comrade, his sister in arms, naked. His mind slowly returned to him and he rose to his feet upon standing on both feet he de-clothed himself. He stood and pulled his shirt from his body then he unlaced his breeches letting them fall to the ground. He stood there and felt a deep embarrassment, but also a deep and powerful sense of excitement.
Mara on the other hand was as red as ever and she watched him. When he was finally undressed, she spoke "It got bigger since I last saw it." Was all she said. Then she was on him and he on her; they kissed fiercely and passionately then they went further. When it was done they lay there in Mara's bed naked and silent. John looked at her and was about to speak, but she beat him to it "John this can't happen again." She said softly.
John looked at her lightly frowning "Tell me why."
She looked at him dead serious "Did you feel that spark of love? Did you feel any real emotion in it?"
For a moment, he thought and while he did indeed feel what she was asking he knew she hadn't so instead he sighed "No. It felt amazing truly, but no more than flesh feelings."
She smiled as she kissed him "You are like my brother. I am glad you were my first, but no more. Of this I mean."
He smiled as he stood up and began to dress "I am glad I was not the one to say this first. May I say that you are quite the Mormont. Only in love with bears I take it?"
She laughed as she followed suit dressing herself "Yes, something along those lines. Now what did you barge in here for in the first place?"
The brought another smile to him as he nodded "Ah I am a warg apparently. I'm not sure how this power works yet, but I am going to find out soon enough."
Mara looked at him for a moment both confused but surprised. Still when she got her wits about her she clapped him on the back "Well you warg bastard, that's great news! Soon you'll be able to take over bears. Who knows maybe you'll be able to give me bear cubs."
John laughed as he looked at her "A true Mormont."
She laughed as she shook her head amused "No. Just in name. I wish I was worthier of it."
Now John looked at her shaking his head slowly "You are just as worthy of it as anyone."
