Bored! • OPEN

Cedric was sitting in the big courtyard, the one who faced exactly the gates. He was playing with Lady, Jane's dog, glancing time to time at the road.
His parents and Garrett left a few days ago to Greywater Watch, to arrange the marriage, and left him and Eilonwy alone at home.
Of course, without his parents now he was in charge to control the Island and the Keep, what a boring job! Since they left, nothing happened and he just passed his days training or playing with the animals.

He moved his look from the gates to Lady, throwing her ball away so she could catch it.
"Looks like there's only us on the Island." he chuckled taking again the ball and throwing it again "At least you're having fun..." he sighed observing the dog while it returned to him with the ball.

Odette had taken a ride outside of the Dreadfort. After her visit with the smaller stark girl,and the situation with her brother's engagement- she needed to take a long ride to get her mind off of it. Truthfully, she'd lost track of how long or how far she'd gone. Her horse equally appreciated the fresh air, and it didn't try to stop, not even once. Sensing someone was close, Sky came to a trot, letting out a heavy breath and resisting to step further. For having such a sick and twisted owner- the horse was bred with a sweet and fragile soul. She pulled the reigns, lining herself behind a tree trunk and looking around. They must have made their way to Bear Island, because it was one of the Mormont boys-who she hadn't seen in years. He did grow up to be attractive. She'd never spoken to any of the Mormonts really- only standard polite nods and bows at public functions. She bit her lip with a small scheme, and instantly smacked the rear of her horse, sending them flying through the gates before them. She timed it perfectly, and threw herself from the horse that bucked beneath her. With a scream, she rolled to the ground in front of the boy and his pet- The horse still flying forward past them.

Cedric moved his look to the gates as he heard a horse riding, where they coming back?! He got on his feet taking a few steps towards the gate, but stopped: it wasn't his family. Someone else was riding that horse and it seemed that she lost control of the horse. He called Lady back to him and walked quickly towards the running horse.
But as he reached her, she had already fell and the horse was running away. He would send one of his stablemen to catch him later. He turned his attention to the girl on the ground kneeling near her, Lady right at his side.
"Are you hurt?" he asked, the girl's face still hidden by her long blonde hair.

(( Btw... did she come to Bear Island by horse? XD ))

Odette groaned on the ground. She actually was in quite a bit of pain, and she had fallen pretty hard. "I'm alright.." She murmured, finally managing to sit up. With a shaking hand, she moved to push the mop of thick blonde hair from her face, her large blue eyes sunken and tear filled. She attempted to stand but a shooting pain in her ankle caused her to topple down again. "My ankle. I think i damaged it on my fall." She whimpered softly, still managing to plant a small smile on her cheeks.


((Whooops XD I did a plot with Kayley earlier after her return from bear island passing through the dreadfort so i thought that was possible...my mistake! sooo lets pretend she hopped on a boat!))

(( It's fine! XD No problem! ^^ ))

Cedric helped the girl to sit up, even if she said to be alright it seemed that she was really hurt. He moved closer to her but as soon as she showed her face, Cedric couldn't help but stare for a few seconds: was she Odette Bolton? He couldn't say it - too much time from the last time he actually saw her - but the resemblance was scary.
He didn't even have the time to say something that Odette was again on the ground, her ankle broken.
"It seems so... it's better if we go inside. The servants will help you with your ankle... " he watched her leg, then moved his look to her "Do you remember your name?" he smiled sightly helping Odette to stand up.

"I'm worried that if I tell you, you'll be afraid." Odette breathed with a laugh, and leaned into him to stand up successfully. "Though there's no need to be." Appearing extremely meek and fragile, her rose red lips trembled and she stared up at him with glossy eyes.

"Try me!" Cedric laughed sightly "I won't be scared!" in the end, even if she was a Bolton, in that moment she wasn't dangerous and surely she wasn't going to hurt him. At least not with that ankle.

"My name is Cedric." he smiled while a few servants were helping him to place Odette on a table, Mormont Keep wasn't big, but it was good equipped, luckily for Odette.
"Welcome to Mormont Keep." Cedric chuckled as the servants started to cure her ankle.

"Odette Bolton. Lady of The Dreadfort." She spoke calmly with a smirk on her face. She winced slightly, but bared through being positioned on the table. Leaning foward she pulled up the skirt of her dark green dress, revealing the swollen ankle once more. She mouthed his name and nodded. "I knew you looked familiar. I do believe we've met briefly before. As children- if I remember correctly. Your home is very nice."

Cedric smiled to himself, he knew it! He just needed the final proof from her.
"Me or my brother.." he chuckled, for most of the people they looked exactly the same, so it was hard to say who was who without talking to them.
"Thank you by the way..." he smiled looking around the room, a Bolton who was complimenting their house; it seemed almost impossible! "You arrived or in the right moment or in the worst." he chuckled "The house is almost empty in this moment and I'm in charge." he laid his head on an hand, being in charge was his duty to help Odette and her ankle. His family would have approved it, maybe. He smiled to himself at his last thought and turned again to Odette "What brings you so far away from the Dreadfort?"

"Not sure I'd be able to tell you two apart! You're both equally as handsome." She noted softly, smirking. Odette leaned forward slightly, allowing the neck line of her dress to shift and expose her milk white skin. "Temporary Lord of Bear Island." She snickered, nibbling on her own lip. She didn't want to admit she'd stormed off to get away from her brother and his possible bride- she was a Bolton- It would ruin her name. But then again it was the truth. She was angry, tired and in pain. "I was a bit spoiled and ran away from my brother's house guests. I couldn't bare another second with them."

Cedric couldn't help but smile at Odette's remark. He had always thought to be a good looking guy, but being told by a girl sounded much different. Almost satisfactory.
He observed as the servants left the room after they managed to cure her ankle with bends and some weird cream. He actually didn't know what they did, but it seemed to work.

"Oh-oh!" Cedric chuckled "I sense marriage in the air." he knew pretty well how the Bolton siblings were attached one another, only another girl in Cato's heart could make the little Odette run away from home. In the end she admitted to be a bit spoiled. And that was exactly the reaction of a spoiled girl.

(( Btw sorry if I didn't reply before! >.< computers problems ))

"It wont last long." She shrugged her shoulders with a chuckle. "That terrible girl will see that my brother is too great for her and run for the hills." She spoke confidently, hoping if she wished it hard enough it was sure to come true. Odette rubbed her ankle softly, noticing how swollen it had grown.

(( I hope it's not too late to reply here (≧ω≦) sorrysorrysorry! ))

Cedric couldn't help but laugh at her response "What if it's the contrary?" he chuckled: Cato wasn't exactly the most adorable person on the Earth, and whoever was going to marry him was just to be pity. At least for him.
"What if she doesn't run away, and marry your brother?!" he chuckled again, as a female version of Cato appeared in his mind. Only a female version of that man could be the right match for him! Kinda creepy though, thinking that somewhere there was a girl exactly like that brute.

Cedric moved his look from her to her ankle, it had become bigger and swollen.
"I think that you'll need some more rest, before you could actually go back home."

"Not really." Cedric chuckled shrugging "It just me and you actually. And well the servants..." he laughed waving his hand at her.

"You know..." he sat down near her "I've always been curios to know something about you Bolton..." he smiled at her, trying to not sound rude. Just genuinely curios.
"Do you mind if I ask you a... strange question?"
