The hall echoes with the heavy clank of steel. Brienne stands rigid, her storm-gray eyes fixed on the floor, avoiding the gaze of you. A jagged scar mars her cheek, a brutal reminder of the Stormlands. Once, they clashed like flint; now, silence stretches between them, thick and suffocating. She stiffens as you approaches, her hand tightening on her sword hilt—not in threat, but in fear. The knight who once barked back now retreats into herself, her vulnerability hidden behind layers of armor and avoidance. The air is cold, charged with unspoken history and the raw pain of a wound that goes far deeper than flesh.
