[QUOTE="Maester Luwin, post: 3469445, member: 23259"] Hey everyone. The meeting of cousins! Thanks Maester Luwin Jasson couldn’t believe another visitor was at his door. The knock was a soft one. He barely heard it. Little William was up from his chair by the door. His big hand already reaching for the hilt of his sword. “Whose thar?” he boomed! The voice on the other side of the door was a timid one. “Edwyle… Edwyle Stark.” Little William snorted & said “Yeah n’ I’m the Princess of Dorne!” Little William looked at Jasson & winked. Jasson shook his head & said “Little William I think its okay.” Little William crossed his massive arms cross his barrel chest & shook his head “Naw Jas! I was fooled one time but nay today!” Jasson was about to say something else when another voice shouted out beyond the door “Open the door ye oaf this be Edwyle Stark... heir to Winterfell and he’s here to see Jasson Snow!” Little William’s brow furrowed in thought. Jasson thought it looked painful. Without removing his arms from his chest, he threw back his head & said “Nice try but changin’ yer voice wont fool me none. N’ whose ah oaf!” There were some curses from more than one voice outside the door but it was the soft timid one that spoke next “I assure you I am Edwyle Stark. I have come to see my cousin Jasson… Jasson Snow. I understand that you are doing your job but it is important that I see him. Now I promise no harm will befall him… Little William is it?” Little William said “What ye think Jas?” Jasson said “It’s alright William. Let him in please.” Little William unbarred the door & opened it. The boy standing there had the features of a Stark, though he was an extremely thin & pale. His cheeks were high & shallow. His body appeared frail but Jasson saw strength of will in his eyes. Jasson bowed & said “Welcome Milord.” Edwyle said “You need not be so formal cousin. I came to see you… to talk to you… if you don’t mind?” Jasson nodded & said “No… no I don’t mind. Do come in.” Edwyle appeared a little nervous to Jasson as he looked behind him & said “I… I can’t stay long but I spoke to your father yestereve & his words held wisdom.” Jasson swallowed hard & said “Go on.” Edwyle coughed & cleared his throat “He stated a hope that we would get to know one another. To become friends. He has served my father faithfully & my father could not manage the North without him. I’m smart enough to know I’ll never be a warrior.
