"I would be most grateful if you did."

"I would be most grateful if you did, milady," you tell Lady Catelyn sincerely, "But I do not wish for you to go out of your way for my sake."

"You need not worry, my boy," the Lady of Winterfell assures you, "I would be happy to sit with you. And, if it helps to set your mind at ease, I am not offering to do so solely for your sake. I have not seen my son Robb in weeks. I have not seen my other sons or my daughters in far longer. Until I am reunited with them, I am hoping to find a way to fill the hole in my heart. At this moment, you are perhaps the closest thing I have."

That surprises you. "Is that so, milady?"

"It is," Lady Catelyn claims, "Now, let me help you settle down for the night."

You nod in compliance and walk over to the bed. After lying down on it, Catelyn Stark pulls the blankets over you. She then does something unexpected; she tucks you in. You have no memories of your own mother or any other woman ever tucking you. This is a rather heartwarming experience.

As she smooths down your covers, you say "Milady, I want you to know how thankful I am. Please relay that thanks to Lady Brienne and King Renly, too."

Catelyn Stark turns to you and remarks "I shall. But I must say, Brynden; You almost sound as though you feel you do not deserve it."

"Well, I am very unused to this kind of treatment," you admit, "I am also quite stunned to be given it so freely. I've done nothing to earn it,"

"I disagree," Lady Catelyn counters, "You may have averted a crisis in the North and shortened a feud between House Baratheon. Furthermore, you have endured the wilderness on your own for so long. I would say you are more than entitled to be pampered a little."

You do not know what to say to that. You mutter "You make a good argument. Truthfully, I have often wished to be spoiled. But at the same time, I do not wish to appear, act, or come off as selfish."

"You are not selfish," Catelyn assures you, "Your modesty is proof of that."

She then reaches over and begins stroking your forehead gently. It is a soothing gesture, and it quickly calms you down. Lady Catelyn tells you softly "Now, get some rest. We have a long march ahead of us, and you need to be well-rested."

Her touch and her words are enough to bring you into a state of bliss. You quickly fall fast asleep, and you do not wake up until daybreak.

When you open your eyes the following morning...
