Lord Stark surprised by her closeness took a step back and tripped over the stairs he had just walked down. Falling on his ass he groaned with pain.
His assembled staff took a deep breath, and contained their collective laughter.
He shot back to his feet almost immediately, "Well good. I am returning to bed now." He starts up the stairs, rubbing at his bruised buttocks.

"I've made two good northmen fall down the stairs tonight," Mally said mournfully. "Shall I get you a salve, m'lord?"

Mally fetched a salve and went back upstairs to find Lord Stark lying on his bed. "Do the poor bruised buttocks still hurt, m'lord?" she asked sympathetically. "Let me see." She gently unlaced his breeches and pulled them down to examine the bruised buttocks.

"Salve?" Benjen asks like he never heard the word before, "No Thank you." He starts to pull up his pants.

OOC: My post was first "But you must let me put it on for you." Mally insisted gently. "I feel so guilty, m'lord. You showed me such kindness and generosity, and I repay you by making you fall!"

"You did not make me fall. Mally I tripped on my own. And No Thank you." He tries to gently push her from the room.

Mally tripped on the rug, and fell against him with a small gasp.

Frowning still Stark conintued to gently urge her from the room, "Are you alright? You must need to rest, I will summon one of my men to help you to your room."

"Oh, m'lord, I have a cramp in my leg! Oh! How it hurts me!" Mally buried her head in Stark's shoulder and began whimpering. Her golden curls tumbled over him, and this close, he could smell her scent.

Helping her to the bed, he sits her down, and then turns toward the door, "I will send for some herbs. You may sleep there tonight. I will bunk with the men."

Mally found herself gazing at him. She could tell that he wanted her, but...was there truly no end to this man's kindness? So far, Lord Stark had not behaved like the monster she had thought he was. He was gentle and kind and honest...and he was trying not to sleep with her. Mally didn't know whether to feel offended or aroused.
She lay back on the bed, legs splayed suggestively, and smiled up at him. "It's not herbs you need to fight a cramp, m'lord, it's a pair of strong hands."

Benjen glanced back once at her as he reached out for the door handle, "I will send up Sara, she has strong hands for a cook."

When the door closed, Mally laughed and laughed.

After a couple weeks of working in the Stark manse, Mally learned how to mull and spice Benjen Stark's wine exactly as he liked it, and took it to him in his solar.

Stark did not look up, he was staring at a family portrait. Five painted images stared back up at him, he was often found looking at that painting. What was not normal was the bottle of hard liquer sitting open and three quarters empty just within reach of his strong arms.
With out even looking up Benjen says, "Put it over there."
