I know its been a long time coming and I'm sorry but I've had loads of coursework ! This is only going to be a short one I think because I'm just tying up loose ends before we dive into book action ! Enjoy !
The royal family stood on the wall overlooking the bay and gazed into the distance as two ships came into sight. Robert smiled to himself and gave Rowan a cheeky wink before heaving himself off the wall and waddling towards ships to greet his brothers. It was Robert's nameday and he had called both of his brothers to King's Landing to see if they could put aside their differences for one day. He assumed not but it would be fun to watch at any rate.
Renly arrived in port first and rushed to give his eldest brother a warm hug.
"Morning brother!" said Robert, when they had broken apart.
"Only the Morning!" cried Renly in surprise "I feel as if we should be having supper when we arrive at the castle." Robert chuckled at his youngest brother.
"Don't worry Renly, you will never go hungry whilst I'm King" Renly supressed a smile. From the look of Robert, he didn't doubt that.
They both turned as they heard the click of boots on wood and saw Stannis walking towards them.
"Good Morrow Brother" They both shouted gleefully, but Stannis' face remained as hard and stone. He sniffed the air before addressing them,
"Smells like a storm" Stannis said thoughtfully "And there is never anything good about a storm." He offered a stiff hand to Robert and said, without a trace of warmth in his voice
"Happy nameday brother. I hope you enjoy it." Stannis then walked towards Cersei and the children, gave them a curt nod and disappeared behind the wall.
"What a pompous prat!" Renly said when he was gone "Mind you, he always looks like he has a stick up his arse!" They both roared with laughter until Cersei came over to chide them.
"Don't be so rude. There are children here and I don't want the embarrassment when one of them recites something unheard of for small ears." But Robert waved his hand at her and said,
"They will learn soon enough anyway. If you are so concerned they why not take them inside?" Cersei rolled her eyes, scooped Tommen up in her arms and motioned for the rest to follow. Renly rushed after them, picked Myrcella up and swung her around. She squealed with laughter and Tommen struggled to break free of his mother so he too could be swung around.
"Don't be such a baby Myr. It's not that much fun." Joffrey scolded.
"So you don't want a go then?" Renly teased, but Joffrey stuck up his nose and walked inside. Rowan bounded over and gave his uncle a hug, whispering in his ear,
"Ignore Joffrey Uncle, he is an A-R-S-E." Both Renly and Robert laughed but Cersei looked shocked.
"How dare you say that!" Cersei thundered. She put Tommen down and grabbed Rowan's arm, pulling him inside. Renly felt a pang of guilt that his nephew was to be punished, but then he caught sight of Loras milling through the crowd in front of him, and his guilt was forgotten.
