- Winter Is Coming
Lyra was stood in the middle of her bedroom looking at herself through the floor length mirror, the blonde smoothed out her white and gold dress making sure that there was no creases in it as she and her family had to look presentable due to King Robert who will be arriving shortly. Lyra had a small smile on her face as her eyes connected with her direwolf that was laid beside her mirror, her head tilting to the side as she watched Lyra get ready.
The Stark girl grabbed a piece of dry meat that she had gotten from the kitchen not that long ago and threw it in Visenya's direction laughing lightly as she watched her direwolf jump in the air and gulping it down. Lyra walked over towards her bed grabbing her light purple cloak as the threw it over her shoulder and clasped it together before opening her door walking down the corridor with Visenya following after her.
"Are you going to the Wolfs wood?" Sansa curiously questioned as she appeared next to her sister startling her sister slightly but sighed in relief when she noticed it was just Sansa as she nodded her head in confirmation, " Good, well we can walk together then" Sansa hooked her arm through Lyra's as they continued making their way out of the castle where both Lady and Visenya immediately ran off in the forest.
Normally, the Direwolfs would of stayed with their owners but their mother had made it clear that they will not be presence when King Robert arrived due to not wanting to scare the Queen and their children, " Can you actually believe it? The king is coming to the North" Sansa stated with a look of excitement on her face as she watched Lady and Visenya's run off together towards the other direwolf's far into the forest.
"It's quite strange" Lyra mused as she watched a couple of servants rush by the two girls causing Sansa to nod her head in agreement as with the news of the King coming to the North it has caused quite the commotion as every servant, guards, cooks and maids were all busy with preparations for their arrival, " I know it must have something to do with the death of Jon Arryn"
" probably" Sansa commented as she shrugged her shoulders as she and her sister joined Rob in the courtyard causing him to raise his brows at his two little sisters wondering what they were talking about causing Lyra to roll her eyes as she informed, " we were just talking about how weird it is for the King to travel to the North not long after Jon Arryn died" Robb nodded his head in acknowledgment as the rest of their siblings were making their way to the courtyard.
Robb scoffed under his breathe shooting both Sansa and Lyra a knowing look, " I think that the King is going to ask father to be his hand" Lyra and Sansa both hummed, " You're right though, it is strange that he his coming all the way to Winterfell when he could of easily just sent a raven if he wanted to check in with father and ask him to be his hand. It has to be something else"
Lyra avoided eye contact with both Robb and Sansa as she knew it was also because King Robert wanted his son to marry one of the Stark girls while the other goes to Braavos to marry Khal Drogo and the blonde made it clear she would marry the Dothraki so her sister wouldn't have to especially since she is still a child, " Lyra, do you know something? Your horrible at keeping secrets you know something spit it out" Robb spoke with a knowing look as he knew his sister like the back of his hand and it was clear that she was hiding something from him and his siblings.
