Daena breathed in the air of Winterfell, Rhaenyra decided to stop and rest in Winterfell due to Alicent wanting to know about Rhaenyra's whereabouts all the time. The brown haired girl crunched down on the snow as she walked through the icy grass, letting snowflakes fall on her hair.
She smiled as she finally had the chance to relax, her father had recently passed, people whispering in the corridors that he was murdered and burned, his crisp body founded by Lady Rhaenys herself. She heard someone talking and turned to see Catelyn.
"Catelyn!" She looked annoyed but her face immediately switched to a more happy one.
"Daena!" The two girls ran to each other as they shared a strong embrace, the person she was talking was a man who rolled his eyes.
"Catelyn! We have things to discuss!" He exclaimed, his dark brown locks sprawled out, covered in snow.
"Oh, hush. Daena, this is Rickon Stark, he's the son of Ser Benjen and Lady Lyanna Stark." Catelyn introduced the two, Daena smiled and waved as Rickon eyed her.
"Now, if you excuse us, we have to catch up, again. Feel free to join us, Ser Rickon." Catelyn's voice had a mocking tone to it as we giggled and left. Daena turned to see Rickon reluctantly following us, she hid her smile in her hand as she covered her mouth.
The three of them went up to main entrance of Winterfell, Daena and Catelyn giggling like children whilst Rickon walked, grumbling like sad babe. The people of Winterfell greeted us as we walked in the gate, Daena waved kindly at the common folk and smiled when children came up.
Catelyn and Daena both sat down on a log and a wolf jumped on Daena, she laughed as Rickon tried to get the wolf off. The big mass and heavy fur warmed her as the wolf sat on her lap and purred when she rubbed behind its ears.
"Who's this one?" Daena asked, Rickon turned away with a flush.
"That's Nymeria, she's my direwolf." Rickon spoke, Daena smiled as Catelyn was talking to the wolf, giving praises and smiles.
"I didn't you had a lady wolf, thats surprising. I would expect that the heir to Winterfell would have a male one." Catelyn said, Rickon shrugged and knelt down to her, she barked and he scratched her chin.
