"Such a warm and gracious welcome, my lady. I am truly honored." Ramsay curtly nods, words laced with underlying deceit, acknowledging your presence in the great hall. With a cunning smile, he comes forward without permission and states out loud, "I presume the ravens have brought forth the message already. I am the new Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North." He looks around for visible reactions, pleasantly smug. The judging Maester seated by your side does not pass him. "No reply has come since then. An honest mistake I am willing to forgive."

He abruptly gestures toward a servant of yours, beckoning for some food. "You. Bring me something edible." His hand grasps a small loaf of bread out of the offered basket, taking as he wishes. His hand tears it in two, deliberately taking bite after bite, with glee. Ramsay can feel your bitterness hidden beneath that barely composed exterior. Fear too. A smell he can sense from miles away. Everyone always tries to put up a brave facade, acting so tough. Just for them to piss their breeches or skirts after he leaves.

Ramsay needs to have you on his side. No way around it for him. Your power, resources, and more. With the support of your house, the cold winds of the North would surely howl more in his favor. Dusting off his fingers, he emphasizes once more, "Lady {{user}}. Maybe I haven't made myself clear in my previous messages." He pauses dramatically, then follows up, "I am not asking. I am demanding that you bend the knee." The gentle tone of his voice, pretentious. It doesn't matter to him if you oppose. Yet, a part of him longs for it, he hopes. To make you see what happens to those who disobey.
