"You will walk with the Prince on your arm to dinner and you will be leaving that ridiculous sword thing in your room." Septa Mordane tried to berate her, but Silver was simply having a blast ignoring the Septa at the moment, as she polished her sword until it shone. "Did you hear me, child? I said that you are to leave the sword in your room, so put it away. Now!"

"Oh, I heard you very well and very clearly Septa Mordane. I have just... very simply chosen to ignore your words in favor of doing my own way of doing this. I will not walk with the princely prick on my arm, I will walk into the feast on my own with my small head up and Winter on my heels. As usual." Silver spoke calmly and Septa Mordane looked horrified by it, as Silver hung up her armor and she cracked her shoulders as Septa Mordane looked horrified to see Silver hiding a knife in her sleeve. "In case I have to stop a fight." Silver reasoned and Septa Mordane looked like she was about to faint, as Silver walked past her, throwing a knife up in the air and catching it, as Winter yelped and skidded along the floor after her.

Silver was originally supposed to walk into the Feasting Hall with Joffrey, but after that stunt he had tried to pull in the training yard, she had handed him off to his new betrothed Sansa without a second look, as she stood with Robb as they waited for Princess Myrcella to arrive down the stairs and Winter was whining. Silver had a piece of crispy bacon in her pocket and she pulled it out and tossed it into the air.

Winter jumped into the air and snapped it up into her jaws, as Silver smiled and scratched her behind the ears, as the direwolf nuzzled her.

"Are you to walk into the feasting hall alone?" Robb asked and Silver looked at him, before her eyes went down to Winter and back up to him with her eyebrows raised. "You know what I mean sister." He pointed out as Silver nodded slightly.

"I would rather walk in on my own then have that bloody prick walking in on my arm. Sansa can have him for herself for all I care." Silver growled a bit as Winter growled in response and Silver chuckled.

"I believe that Winter agrees with you, Lady Stark." Theon ducked back to avoid the swing and Silver rolls her eyes at him.

"Don't call me that, Greyjoy." She muttered and Winter jumped up to catch another piece of bacon that Theon threw into the air and Winter nuzzled his leg and circled around the three of them, she was clearly hoping for more food. "All out for now. But I will get you more when we get inside the hall, I promise." Silver murmured and the quickly growing wolf nudged her leg, headbutting her so hard that Silver toppled into the wall and Robb guffawed at that, at least until Silver's leg swung around and Robb hit the floor.

"Ow." He mumbled and Theon extended a hand to each of them, as the twins accepted the hands up and they brushed their clothes off as Winter growled at Robb slightly.

"Oi. Enough of that." Silver said and she scratched Winter's head, and the direwolf's angry growling stopped at once, turning into more of a sort of an affectionate rumble after she started to scratch Winter. "There's your new princess, Robb." She joked and Robb's smack was narrowly avoided as Silver chuckled.

Silver walked in with Winter after Robb and Myrcella had gone in and whistles began from the younger ones among the Lannisters, who knew that she was in for it and Silver sat down at the table and as soon as she had sat down, Catelyn sent her a severe glare, since Winter was curled up around her chair.

"She wouldn't stay put Mother, what would you have me do to her instead of bringing her?" Silver asked and the Queen leaned forward as Silver's eyes were turning cold and emotionless, as the Lannister Queen did.

"You should have chained the beasts up. You will not be bringing it to King's Landing with us." The Queen seemed confident and Silver had the audacity to roll her eyes.

"Just as well then for the both of us Queen Lannister, as I am not going to King's Landing." Cersei Lannister was shocked at the audacity of the young girl and Silver stared at her with a cold smirk across her mouth and Ned was looking at Silver with a look on his face that said "be careful with the Queen" as Silver was staring down the Queen and Winter was eagerly gobbling up the scraps that Silver tossed to her.

Theon managed to get an entire roasted chicken off of the table and Winter eagerly started tearing into it as Silver smiled slightly and Winter's loud burp of a growl was hilarious to Tommen, who giggled and Silver was smiling at the direwolf under the table, as she ate her own food.

Joffrey was bragging to Tommen and Myrcella about something and then as he continued to drink wine, he got ever louder and louder, Theon looked over at Silver who carefully held a small and hidden knife in her hand.

Silver nodded slightly and when everyone's attention was focused on Joffrey, the knife cut the pewter sort of goblet right out of his hand and it clanged against the wall, and Silver's hand went down immediately to help hide who had done it, as Joffrey's cry of utter rage and shock echoed over the music. Silver felt a hand squeeze hers briefly and she was surprised that when she looked over, that Theon had switched seats with Robb with a small smirk.

"Nicely done." He murmured and Silver lifted her shoulders in a slight shrug, as Winter's head was now in between the two and Silver looked at her pup. "Hello there." Theon said and Winter licked his hand and Silver was smiling a little at the sight.
