Raven's Watch Royal Eclipse

Stark hadn't visited Octavia recently. It wasn't from lack of want, exactly, because Stark's thoughts frequently still turned to her. They had only had a few months together, but the life they had lived was a strong one. Stark gave a soft sigh, turning from her gravemarker. He heard someone nearby along the river's edge and turned to find them, seeking out the only other soul he'd encountered in the Watch since he'd buried Octavia there. Being so close to the Keep Stark was full of pride, defensive not only of his territory but also of the area that he considered to be hallowed ground. 

"Hello," It was a neutral statement, he'd used a neutral tone, it didn't exactly matter how he spoke when his body betrayed his caution, his defensiveness. He wouldn't bemoan the male for his wandering so long as he behaved himself. That was the important part. If he was disrespectful he'd remove him from the area.
