Third Person's POV

Robb and Hariasa are in bed, after the latter tucked their son in bed. Both thinking about last night.

"So Jon is going through with it then. I don't suppose we can talk him out of it, can we?" Robb asked, not wanting Jon to go and join The Watch. He doesn't want to lose his best friend because his mother made him feel like an outcast.

"He made it clear that he wants to make a name for himself. All we can do is support him." Hariasa replied. "I saw Jaime Lannister interacting with my father and yours."

"And what did he want?" Robb asked almost in a disdain voice.

"He wanted them to participate in a tourney. To avenge whatever honour he had." She replied. "Father is going to try and talk yours out of accepting The King's proposal. Though I wouldn't get my hopes up."

"If he does say no, I can only hope The King Understands." Robb said before adding. "But if he does, we'll do our part in ruling in his stead."

"I know. But... you know us Starks  and Kenmar don't do well in the south. Then again no northerner does well in the south." Hariasa points out.

After feeding her son, Hariasa decided to check on Shadowclaw and her cubs.

The orange black stripped noticed her and sniffs her out before rubbing his head on her knees. Hariasa rubs the little cub's back and gently pets Shadowclaw. "Good girl." Her mount chuffs at her in response.

After feeding her cubs, Hariasa decided to take Shadowclaw for a walk to stretch her legs. The caretakers who are well equipped can take care of the cubs.

Shadowclaw was a sight to behold. Beautiful and terrifying when provoked. And as soon as she's out in the open, she stretches her body, and while doing so, her claws extended and retracted back.

Before she can take her beast out for a run, she glanced at Bran and Tommon swinging at each other with practice swords whilst they wore padded armor.

She can only hold her laugh in for so long. Though she does find it a little cute.

She approached Robb along with Shadowclaw. "I can't tell who's winning, Bran or The Prince."

Robb could only laugh. "I don't think neither of them are winning." He noticed Shadowclaw beside her and she's armed with her blade. "Taking her out for a run?"

"Aye. She's been busy taking care of the cubs. She needs a little time to herself, you know? Stretch her legs, get some good exercise in." Hariasa said, eying the Prince Joffrey, who in turn eyed the creature standing behind her and Robb.

Joffrey has heard of the famous creatures that House Kenmar rides into battle. Feared and ferocious creatures that can take on bears and lions.

Foolish as he is, he sought a better challenge after losing to Robb Stark. He wanted to humiliate him by challenging his wife. He does not believe that Hariasa is one of few best warriors The Northern Dales ever produced. "You must be Lady Hariasa. Daughter of the mighty Ulfric Kenmar, The Vengeful Tiger. Your husband's brother says you're the best warrior here. I say he's lying."
