𝕷yra smoothed out her light blue gown, making sure that there were no creases and that no one could see the underskirt. It was her finest dress, decorated with silver thread around the sleeves and collars. Elia was sitting next to the mirror, her head tilted as she watched her mistress get ready for the day, ears flopping over her face. Lyra grabbed a piece of dried meat from the pocket of her breeches, which were, once more, hidden half-under the bed, and threw it in the wolf's general direction. She laughed as Elia jumped into the air to snap it up, before finding her cleaner, grey cloak.

Throwing it over her shoulder, she clasped the two wolves together over the centre of her chest, before opening her door and whistling for her wolf. Elia pattered over, as the door on the opposite side of the corridor opened, and Sansa appeared.

"Are you going to the Wolfs Wood?" Sansa nodded, as her wolf, Lady, appeared beside her, a ribbon tied around her neck like a collar. "Let us walk together then."

Sansa hooked an arm through Lyra's, as they continued out into the brisk, Northern air, their dresses curling around their feet. The aptly named Wolfs Wood was where the wolves were let out to roam when the children could not attend to them. Normally, the wolves stayed with their respective Stark children, but not today. Their mother did not want to scare the queen, so they had been sent back to the woods.

"Can you believe that the king is coming North? It is rare for them to travel so far." Sansa unlatched the gate, watching as both Lady and Elia sprinted off into the forest, where they could already hear the sound of the other wolves.

"It is strange, I agree." Sansa hummed in agreement as they watched a battalion of guards go past. The king coming North had caused quite a commotion, and every servant, stable boy, guard, maid and cook was busy with preparations for their arrival. "I just can not believe that Jon Arryn died."

"I know," Sansa nodded over at her sister, as they joined Robb in the central courtyard. Robb raised an eyebrow, questioning their conversation.

"We were just saying that it is unbelievable that Jon Arryn is dead," Robb nodded, as the rest of their siblings began to make an appearance. "I know that father was quite upset with the news."

"I think that the king is going to ask father to be his hand," Robb mused, as Lyra and Sansa turned to him, waiting for him to continue. "It seems so strange that he is travelling all this way to Winterfell just to see father after all these years. A raven would be quicker if he just wanted to check in."
