Being cooped up in a library all day was a most productive day for the young lioness. Instead with the good weather, she felt the need (or rather pressured by her handmaidens to receive some fresh air once in awhile ) for a change of scenery. However, that didn’t stop Lelia from snagging a book or two from Staerdale’s library on her way out. She’d still stay near the grounds with the company of Lannister’s guards to ease the potential bickering from her siblings. In contrast, the scenery of Casterly Rock was beautiful — yet, it dulled to compare to Staerdale’s expansive library. It was like a new treasure for her to unfold and lioness take great pleasure in it. Feeling a illuminating presence behind her, she could sense who it was before she looked up from the pages. “Yes, I took them before you ask, my lord.”, she quipped, acting like a child who was about to get scolded. “I think reading the scenery would help when I’m learning about the different mountain tribes in this region.”

With being labeled as the newest ruling lord after his father’s untimely death —although rumors had circulated that Torrhen had been the cause behind his father’s demise — he’d done the preparations of trying to restore some of his family’s legacy as the ruling Lord of Blackhaven. Torrhen’s reputation preceded him after the death of his father. In fact, he was sometimes known to be ruthless especially when dealing with his enemies. However, as he entered the entrance hall of the catacombs formerly known as the Arryn’s lands. He’d see how House Targaryen’s sigil rested on the walls. It brought a sick taste in mouth as his eyes filled with disgusts, the ruling lord never being too fond the Targaryens. Yet, his eyes gave away his shock. as he watched the presence of somebody he was very familiar with, his own flesh & blood. “Brother”, Torrhen spoke, his voice growing almost a flicker of melancholy, though he did his best to hide it.

Most people would be a bit…disturbed with the knowledge that they were walking on a gravesite. Shivani was not most people, if anything she was fine with it. She’d never had the pleasure of visiting when the Arryns were here, but it was clear there was a lot of renovation that had been done. Though it was understandable, dragons had literally and figuratively descended upon this place. “I can’t say for sure whether this place looks better or worse, dragon decor has never been my area of expertise.” She commented aloud once becoming aware that there was someone else there with him. “At least it’s not ash and stone I guess.”

The youngest Lannister of Casterly Rock was no stranger to having her family’s chronicles being written by blood. In fact with the lion being the Lannister sigil, there be no doubt in that blood and violence would be present. However, with being as meek as she is..Lelia was considered saintly although a Lannister can be considered anything but. In the presence of whom she considered a dear friend, Lelia wasn’t surprised at Shivani’s response. “Perhaps you’re right, my lady. “, the lioness responded with a small humming in response “But as you know dragons could be consider my expertise.” she paused with a small laugh before furrowing her eyebrows in a solemn tone, “ But, either way. It’s still a shame about the fate of the Arryns.”

“Yes… or to think about the ghosts of House Arryn that linger within these halls.” Vhaelysse said mysteriously.

She could tell the lady was a Lannister, but she didn’t seem to have the same outstanding presence as the other Lannisters, which Vhaelysse found to be refreshing yet odd.

“How was your journey to New Valyria?” She asked.

The name itself, New Valyria… it made Vhaelysse want to laugh though it disgusted her through and through.

Yes, House Targaryen and House Velaryon had the blood of Old Valyria in their veins and nothing would change that… but House Targaryen renaming the rocky wasteland that was once The Vale, “New Valyria”, felt like either an insult to their Valyrian ancestors or a poorly made choice. Either way, though Old Valyria was long gone to the ashes and no currently living being had ever seen it before The Doom, Vhaelysse felt that naming such a place that didn’t have nearly an ounce of splendor and opulence that Old Valyria allegedly had according to the books she read as a child, was a huge insult and she felt that because of that, New Valyria shouldn’t even exist.

“Thinking about the history in these walls is quite interesting however. My apologies, I have neglected to introduce myself… I am Lady Vhaelysse Velaryon. And you are?” She greeted with a curtsy.

“Perhaps, my lady. It’s devastating to think of, I couldn’t bear it. “, Lelia spoke solemnly, a small frown crossing her features. 

The young lioness had never been found of violence, despite her ancestry and the great claims from her ancestors. Lannisters were known to be stronghold houses in Westerosi history. However, her blood didn’t sit well with the youngest Lannister of Casterly Rock.  It would be an indication of the ancient history of violence that has dwelled in the battle and words of Westeros. 

“My journey was pleasant, thank you for asking. How was yours?”, she asked curiously, Lelia had always been fond of adventuring, hoping one day to venture outside of the walls of Westeros. She’d go crazy at the thought of staying in one place for far too long. 

Lelia longed for being in the library. She knew some stories from the library at Casterly Rock about the ancient tales of Valyria. However, there must be some older texts in the library of New Valyria. She’d be overwhelmed and giddied at the thought of consuming more of the ancient history. 

Her mind was elsewhere, but her thoughts escaped as she heard the voice pull her from the thoughts. “Yes, my lady. The histories are a hobby of mine. “, Lelia spoke, although if it were a man she’d most likely be scolded about unladylike behavior. “Lady Lelia Lannister, my lady. It’s a pleasure.”, she replied, duplicating her curtsy to the lady.

lelia: what was your most recently read book about?

“It was a book titled “Kin of the Stag“ by: Maestar Hubert. It was very insightful about Gallon of Moore. However, currently I’m about to began reading “When Women Ruled: Ladies of the Aftermath“ by: Archmaestar Abelon. It tells of widows that ruled after the Dance of the Dragon. I’m beyond excited for this one” 

[chvshire]

for lelia: what are your thoughts about your brother returning? will you support him?

“It saddens my heart on the thought of Casper loosing times from us, his family. He truly belongs at Casterly Rock. Of course, I will support him as I will support Genna too.“ ( @trgryns & @knightsfcll) 

[chvshire]

torrhen: what do you hope to do with blackhaven once you inherit it?

“I’ve already inherited it with my father’s recent passing. However, I wish to make Blackhaven more prosperous for my family”

[chvshire]

for lelia: if you had to marry someone, who would it be?

“Marriage? I’ve never really had the thought cross my mind. But perhaps I’d say Arthor if I truly had to pick. (@crxnlxnds) “

[chvshire]

for torrhen: do you miss the child you used to be?

“Absolutely not, I was pathetically weak. Yes I’d love it. “

[chvshire]

[all] if you could be anywhere in the world right now - where would you be? and who would be with you?

“The only option for me would be Blackhaven with a beautiful person on my side with a strong drink in my hand and all of my trophies commemorated of my achievements from my greatness. “

Only one place? By sevens, that would be easy. I’d love to visit the Free Cities. I’ve always wanted to travel to Qohor or even Volantis. For my company, I think I’d enjoy having a new start, so possibly none. 

[chvshire]

for lelia: do you pick your blood or your parents chosen family? which lannister do you support?

For me, it’s a mix of both. Family is thicker than blood. As a Lannister, you are aware of the meaning of family. However, I also believe that. But for Lannisters, I refuse to choose either of my siblings because violence would be the only option. If it were down to one, I’d choose neither Casper ( @trgryns )  or Genna ( @knightsfcll )   due to the heartache of them being hurt if chosen. “

top 5 people you wish to know better and why?

“ I’d love to get to know some more of the ruling lords around the kingdom. I think it’d be interesting to learn some battle stratergies. The first is Henry Morment because of course, he’s the Lord Commander. Second would be  @prodiiteur.  I believe it would be nonsense to not put any of the Baratheon kins due to their strenght. Perhaps, Lord Stefan and Lord Theodore. ( @crvwnfought & @knightsfcll) The last two I think I could argue it be interesting to meet Lord Altan Dayne (@tcmpest )  and perhaps Lady Sarisa Mormont ( @scndrenched) 

“ Get to know better and why? Does this take into context historical figures as well? Cause that would be too hefty of a list. But I’d love to meet some open-minded individuals like myself. But, I think meeting people from all over Westeros would be thrilling. So, I believe that first I’d love to meet Prince Aegon and Prince Daemon ( @crownscost & @knightsfcll ). They should have wonderful stories to tell. Second, I think I would love to meet the newest princess of the realm. Princess Shaera (@shesiren)  I do believe that coming from a city like Lys. I’d love to here her stories about traveling. For the last two, I’d love to hear stories from the North and the Iron Islands. These two regions are so very foreign to me, and I’d love to hear more about them and their histories and daily life. So for the Iron Islands, I’d choose perhaps Lady Dyana Harlaw ( @godspecd). From the North, I’d say potentially Lord Bolton ( @knightsfcll)
