Gawen and his family all stood in line to welcome the young heir. Robb came forward and stood in front of Robett while keeping a straight back and showing all the signs that a Young Lord should have.

But, when his father was going to bend his back a bit as a sign of welcome, Robb stopped him and hugged him with a laugh.

"Lord Robett, I am not my father. I am just a youngling who is still learning. Such grand fanfare is unworthy of a person my stature." Robb said with a huge smile. This small action of him made the whole atmosphere turn from seriousness to a jolly one.

“How come when I use such fancy words, I am termed as a southerner?” Gawen complained to Erena, who always pointed it out. Erena pinched him instead, not replying to his question.

But, Gawen who saw this behaviour of Robb smiled. He really was like his father!! Jon who stood behind also had a smile and little bit of pride too seeing that his 'brother' didn't have the haughtiness of a Young Lord.

"Welcome to Deepwood Motte, Young Lord. I hope the journey was a pleasant one." Robett said after separating from the hug. House Glover had been on the side of House Stark since the times of First Men and they had a very deep relationship. Though House Stark was now the warden of the North, they treated each other as equals for centuries.

At least on the inside!! On the outside they always maintained their positions of power and all respected it with no arguments.

"See, he might be your knight in shining armor." Gawen teased Erena when she was looking at Robb.

"Naah.. He can’t be." Erena rejected with firm conviction. Sybelle gave a deadly look to Erena when she saw that Erena's dress was nothing out of ordinary but didn't speak it out loud in front of everyone.

Robb then kissed the hand of Sybelle and even Erena, showing his respect for Sybelle and Erena. He even looked a little mesmerised by the beauty of her.

Let's be honest, at the end boys were boys. Though he was an honourable man, he liked beauties and Erena was definitely one of them. After stopping his eyes on her for a few more seconds, Robb finally stood near Gawen.

They both were of the same height and almost the same age too so they both looked face to face. And just as Robb did to his father he too hugged him.

Gawen was surprised by this, because as usual didn't have any memories of him knowing Robb.

"Brother, I heard you were almost assassinated. How are you?" Robb said as he hugged him.

"Uhh. Young Lord, I am fine. All healthy and kicking butts." Gawen said with a little bit of awkwardness. Robb then looked at him for a few seconds and then whispered.

"Your father mentioned that you had lost the memory. Do you remember me?" Robb asked with all seriousness while cursing his own father for being such a blabbermouth.

"No my Lord. I am sorry but I don't." Gawen said.

"Hmm.. Let's go inside and talk. I will help you remember whatever you have lost and we have a lot to discuss."

Later even Jon came and hugged him. Since it was already evening and the sun had set, they all went to the Hall to have their food and drink. And this was his place to shine.

When the new kinds of bread and ale was served, Robb and others who came with him were taken aback. They never expected such good food here. And their fascination for the food was apparent as they ordered for more food and ale.

And much to the amazement of Gawen, both Robb and Jon loved all the 10 different kinds of ale. But it was a happy surprise nonetheless. By the end all the travellers were so drunk that all had to be carried away to the solar. They were in no position to even talk, let alone discuss anything.

Even Gawen's parents were a bit drunk by his ale. Gawen was proud seeing all of this, but he himself didn't drink. He was never fond of drinks and now he had the headache of Force. He needed to be sharp and active always.

After everybody had their fills they all went back. This was probably the best food many had in their entire life. Gawen made sure all had his ale and bread in this whole feast. Before the feast, he even went to upgrade the meat. Though there was only one option he could upgrade the meat into, he still did it as he wanted this as the best feast that Robb and his entourage could ever remember.

After a day of revelation and excitement, Gawen was too tired so he too went to sleep like others.

----

The next day Gawen woke up like normal and went out to the place where bows were made. The bows were made in a special shop which was under the control of the House Glover. He went there to buy two bows for his sister which he had promised yesterday.

Yesterday Erena got a bit of scolding from Sybelle, and Gawen had to come in and stop his mother, as he took the blame for it. After she stopped her barrage of words she noticed that like Erena, he too didn't care. Sybelle saw that her words had no effect on her children, this irritated her more but she couldn't do anything about it.

After buying two bows he opened it's status panel

"What the fuck is half long bow half recursive?" Gawen almost called out. He had never seen such a weird description before. But he didn't care. He went to collect all the materials required for making a recurve bow and at the end he went to Endrew to look for all aluminium materials. After getting half a kilogram of it, he went to a small closed room nearby where the horseshoes were made.
