No One's POV
The very next day after Ned allowed Raven to learn how to fight, was when her training was supposed to begin. In an uncharacteristic move on the young Snow's part, she woke up and close to dawn, about the same time the servants were waking up. Since she's only six and hates people in the morning, she went right back to sleep. She woke up a few hours later at the normal time.
She ran into her twin brother, Jon's, room to borrow a pair of trousers. " Why do you need them?" He questioned
"You'll see later, Jon. Please, let me borrow a pair." She flashed him her signature puppy dog eyes, and he gave in.
"Here." He said handing them to her. "Don't let Lady Stark see you in those." He warns
"I'm not worried about her." She called back leaving the room

After Raven changed , she ran downstairs to the Great Hall for breakfast. Robb, Jon, and Theon looked at her curiously.

Raven's POV
"What in seven hells are you wearing?" Theon asks
"You'll see. Later." Was her response
"What's that supposed to mean?" He pushes
"It means, you'll find out later. Now, sit down and be quiet." Robb jumped in

Catelyn's POV
What in seven hells is that bastard wearing?!?! What, no lady training so she thinks she can do whatever she wants? I'll put a stop to this. "Ned, please control that daughter of yours." I whisper, looking over to the group
"What is this about Cat?" He asks
"The child is wearing trousers." I point out.
"Sorry Cat, but I don't see a problem with this." He responds. How does he not find an issue with this? My subconscious yells in frustration.
"Ned. She is a lady!" My voice grows slightly louder
"Catelyn, it was you who stopped her lessons. I went to her to see what she wanted to do about it, and she told me she wanted to learn how to fight." He explains
More frustration builds "Why was I not consulted about this?!?" I try not to yell
"If you remember the day I brought them home, you said 'You do what you want with them. I will not be apart of this.'. Now what? You suddenly give a damn about them." He says, his voice laced with venom
I jump back a little. Not once in our marriage has Ned ever spoken to me like that. "Fine. Do what you want with it."
