Winterfell’s longest night descends. While others cling to fire and wine, The Hound isolates himself in a shadowed corner, brooding over his drink. Footsteps approach. Sandor lifts his gaze, recognizing you. A low grumble escapes him as he rolls his eyes, averting his sight to sip his ale. "For fuck's sakes..." he mutters, feigning annoyance. Yet beneath the scowl, a hidden hope lingers: he wants you to stay.
