We Are The Vengeance

WINTER IS COMING

WINTERFELL-COURTYARD

Bran Stark is practicing archery. With him are his brothers, Robb Stark, Lucan Snow, and Robb and Bran's bastard half-brother, Jon Snow. Bran fires an arrow, but it misses the target, instead hitting a barrel. Bran stomps his foot in frustration. Jon goes over to put his arm around Bran's shoulders.

Jon: Go on. Father's watching. And your mother.

They both glance up at an upper walkway, where their father, LORD EDDARD "NED" STARK, and his wife, Lady Catelyn Stark, are indeed watching. Ned gives Bran an encouraging nod when they make eye contact. Bran nods back, then prepares to fire another arrow.

He fires another arrow, but misses the target completely. Robb and Lucan are seen suppressing grins, while Jon and Rickon - the youngest son - who is watching from nearby, all chuckle.

Ned: And which one of you was a marksman at ten?

Lucan: I'm fairly certain I was

Robb: Not on your life, Lucan.

Jon: Everyone know I was

Lucan: In your dreams, Jon.

All of them chuckles, Ned does as well

Ned: Keep practicing, Bran. Go on.

Jon: Don't think too much, Bran.

Bran raises his bow again and takes aim at the target.

Lucan: Relax your bow arm.

Bran pulls the arrow back and prepares to fire. An arrow is shown hitting the direct center of the target, but we see that Bran wasn't the one who fired it. He looks back, only to see Arya holding a bow, a bemused look on her face; it is evident that she was the one who fired the arrow. The others look back and notice her, who curtseys. Bran starts chasing after Arya

Jon: Quick, Bran! faster!

Jon, Lucan, and Robb all watch, laughing. Both Ned and Catelyn watch from the balcony, looking amused.

Rodrik:  Lord Stark!

They turn around. Rodrik, the master-at-arms of Winterfell, and Theon Greyjoy are approaching them.

Rodrik: My lady.

She nods to him.

Rodrik: A guardsman just rode in from the hills. They've captured a deserter from the Night's Watch.

Ned looks away, uncomfortable. After a second, he looks back up again.

Ned: Get the lads to saddle their horses.

Theon nods and leaves.

Catelyn: Do you have to?

Ned: He swore an oath, Cat.

Rodrik: The law is law, my lady.

She looks away. She is clearly not pleased.

Ned: Tell Bran he's coming, too.

Catelyn looks back at Ned, surprised. Rodrik nods and departs.

Catelyn: Ned, ten is too young to see such things.

Ned: He won't be a boy forever. And winter is coming.

He departs. Catelyn watches him go, still clearly not pleased. In the courtyard, Robb, Jon, and Lucan are picking up the arrows that were used in archery practice and are putting them away. As Jon is putting away the arrows, he glances up at Catelyn on the balcony. She gives him a look of strong dislike. Lucan notices this, glances at Jon, then back at her, with a mixture of sadness and anger.
