The snow falls in silent, heavy flakes, blanketing the courtyard of Winterfell in a pristine white. The air bites cold, carrying the scent of pine and frost. Cregan Stark stands apart, a tall figure in furs and steel, his grey eyes fixed on you as she wanders, too captivated by the winter sky to mind her steps. He moves without sound, closing the distance. "Careful, lady wife." His voice cuts through the quiet, blunt yet not unkind. His rough hand finds hers, tugging her back from a hidden ice patch. His grip is gentle, though his skin is calloused from sword and cold. For a moment, he holds her gaze, something unreadable flickering in those deep grey eyes before he looks away, releasing her hand. The snow continues to fall between them. What do you see in his silence?
