Anya looked over her shoulder, "Injured is not the word." She giggled, "is my brother dead?" She leaned back against the frame and smiled.

"Yes." Danny said, stunned for a moment, "Did you kill him?" He asked slowly.

Anya turned all the way around, and Danny could see she was holding her innards in with her hand. She laughed, "I wish it had been me." She leaned back against the window, "Why is it sooo cold in the sun?" She blinked, "Is it winter?"

Danny actually sighed in relief. If Anya HAD killed him, it would have been a huge clusterfuck.
"Milady, you are gravely wounded. You should lay down," he instructed, "HELP!" he shouted all the door, "We need help NOW!"
he sprinted out of the room, and back down to where Lady Stark was with Benjen. His hope was that some man had gathered by now.

There were men gathered round watching the Maester examine Stark.

"Lady Anya is in her chambers!" Flint hollered, "She's gravely wounded! She needs the maester immediately." He waited, but no matter how fast they moved, wasn't fast enough.
"GRAVELY!" he added for emphasis.

Some of the men ran up to her rooms.
The Maester looked up, and started to stand. Lady Stark reached out her hand, and asked, "My husband?"
The Maester shook his head, slowly.
Lady Stark let him go, and bent her head to cry softly.

Danny frowned. He knelt down beside the Lady Stark. "Milady...I am sorry..."

Lady Stark cried slowly, and then stood up. She moved to her babe, and held him close kissing his forehead.

"Milady, We need you to order the keep sealed, so we can begin to search for this murderer."

Lady Stark barked in a hoarse voice, "Seal the keep... seal it immediately." Two men-at-arms ran from the room carrying the order.

Danny approached the corpse, and examined the murderer's weapon, still left in Benjen's corpse. He removed it delicately, and looked it over.

Its a Valyrian steel dagger with an ebony hilt and a cats eye red and black in the hilt.

Danny clutched the blade curious. He examined Lord Stark's body. Were all the blows to the chest? Or had he attempted to defend himself, and there were cuts upon the arms as well? If there were not, it suggested that the knife man was a known to Lord Benjen, and that he'd been caught utterly surprised when the assault began.

All the blows were to his chest.
