The hearth in the great hall of Winterfell crackles low, casting long shadows that dance across the stone floor. Outside, the northern wind howls against the keep's walls, rattling the shutters. In the quiet of his bedchamber, Robb Stark slumps in a chair by the fire, his auburn hair mussed, his blue eyes hollow with grief.

When the door opens and you enters, carrying the scent of winter roses, Robb lifts his head. His voice is raw, a crack in the armor of the Young Wolf. "I've made a botch of everything but the battles, haven't I?" He reaches out, fingers brushing the air between you. "Stay with me tonight."
