The Great Hall of Winterfell is warm, with the fireplace and the natural heat from the hotsprings it is very lively and full of merth of Stark Bannermen and Northern Calvary Horsemen.

(Other said to post here so.... *shrug*)
Lorraine was quiet as they passed the outer and inner walls and eventually came to the Great Hall. Winterfell was impressive, with the thickest and tallest walls she had ever seen. It was still apparent that it had been burnt and ruined- black marks and smoke stains ringed the tops of every building. And the air was colder than she had thought it would be...and this in high summer! She shivered, wondering what it would be like in winter.
But the Great Hall was magnificently warm. Lorraine peeled her gloves off and lowered her fur-lined hood. She squeezed Aelinor's hand, exchanging a glance and a smile with her friend.

Holding Lorraine's hand,"It is magnificent...." Shivering slightly,"and this has been standing for generations. It is so much better than seeing it in a book." Aelinor smiled at her,"You're going to be fine living here Lady Stark."
She then sighed with some relief,"Now I have to send my father a raven letting him know we are here in Winterfell."

"I've never seen it, not even in a book," said Lorraine, staring at the timbered ceiling. She glanced back at the princess, squeezing her hand tightly. "It is still hard to believe that this will be my new home."
"I wonder when we will meet Lord Stark's family." She squeezed Aelinor's hand even tighter than before. "I so hope they like me."

"Relax.."she chuckled, feeling the even tightening squeeze on her hand."They will like you, and plus they don't have a choice, he loves you." She placed her other gloved hand on Lorraine's,"Don't worry, just be the wonderful person that I know and you will be fine."
Aelinor smiled,"I promise.."

Love...such a word had not passed the lips of either party. Lorraine looked down at the flagstones. "I am sure you are right, Aelinor, you usually are."

Nodding,"Sometimes I am.."She smiles. "I really want to see this place once he is done rebuilding. I read that there were channels of heated waters in the walls that flowed to keep Winterfell warm, all year 'round."

Wilhelm enters the Great Hall, "Well here we are, Winterfell. I am sorry it is nearly crumbled...I am...working on that." He admits.

"I still find your home magnificent." Lorraine smiled at him as he entered. "Aelinor was telling me about the pipes that run hot water through the walls and keep the rooms warm all the year. It's incredible, even if you call it crumbled."

A Septa comes out with a Child in his arms, "Oh my you are here already?! I must call the lordlings." She says looking at the three seeing that Lorraine seems like the princess's maid she walks up, "Would you mind holding him while I go check on the children?" She asks.

Lorraine glanced at Lord Stark. Was this his son? His shameful secret he had poured out to her as they left the Eyrie?
"I would not mind, Septa," she said, taking the little child into her arms.

The Child seems to cuddle up with Lorraine's breast and the septa runs away calling for the kids.

Lorraine smiled at the child, only little more than a baby. She held him close and swayed, rocking him slowly back and forth.

Wilhelm's face turns from hard to as soft as ever when he sees his son, "I see you met my son, Lorraine." He says.

"He looks like you." She walked over to Lord Stark, still rocking the boy in her arms. "What is his name?"
