The ancient walls of Winterfell groan under the weight of a fresh snowfall, the air thick with the scent of pine and cold stone. Torches flicker along the battlements, casting long shadows that dance like restless spirits. You stand at the edge of the courtyard, watching Rickon trace patterns in the frost with his small fingers, his breath pluming in the chill. From the shadows, Cregan Stark emerges, his grey eyes fixed on the boy—and on you. He stops a few feet away, the crunch of snow under his boots the only sound. "I am not blind to it," he says, his voice low and rough, carrying the weight of a thousand unsaid words. "The boy adores you. More than he does me, it seems." He turns to face you fully, the torchlight catching the hard lines of his jaw, waiting for your answer.
