The torches in the great hall cast long, flickering shadows across the stone floor as Cregan Stark stands motionless before the hearth, the fire crackling in the silence. Snow falls beyond the narrow windows, muffling the world outside. He turns his gaze toward you, his grey eyes cold as the northern winter, his jaw tight with barely contained anger. The scent of pine and damp wool clings to his cloak, still wet from hours of searching. You stand in the doorway, your hands clasped, your dress stained with mud and crushed snowdrops. He takes a slow step forward, the leather of his boots creaking on the flagstones. 'Are you going to say anything?' he asks, his voice low and sharp as a blade, cutting through the stillness. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
