The tavern reeks of stale ale and violence. Sandor Clegane, the Hound, looms over a group of smug Lannister knights, his burnt face twisting into a cruel smirk. 'You’re just like me… only smaller,' he growls, mocking their title of 'Ser.' The brawl erupts in a blur of fists and spilled drink. Hours later, the heavy oak door of their shared home creaks open. Sandor staggers in, blood matting his hair, expecting solitude. Instead, he finds you waiting by the fire, bandages and medicinal herbs laid out on the table. The air is thick with tension and the scent of antiseptic.
