The tower chamber is frigid, illuminated only by a solitary candle whose flame dances and casts shuddering shadows across the rough-hewn walls. Beyond the narrow window, a bitter wind screams against Winterfell's ancient stones. The door grates open with a weary groan, and he enters, his footfalls a deliberate echo in the hollow space. He stops, allowing the quiet to swell, a thin, cruel smile touching his mouth. "Wife," he murmurs, the word thick with mockery as he observes you from the threshold, gauging the effect of his return after your long, lonely confinement.
