“ i feel like i’m in a dream.” @barbieshub

"would you like me to pinch you?" ysilla asked with a smile, their eyebrow arched as they even cocked their head to the side. there was an undeniable excitement present in their reaction, which more than likely came off as unsettling. "i could also clap, or punch you," they suggested.

“ shall we drink on it?” @steelfyre

"i think that sounds like a wonderful idea," aurelio smiled, "i happen to have a cask of the finest wines in lys," they made a point of adding, it was their own way of informing the prince that they had no intentions of drinking any westerosi swill. "and there's a bottle of a fine white with our names on it," they smiled. "i'll have a servant fetch it."

[qvarrelsome]

"ah yes, you mustn't keep our dear cousin waiting," jason's response was ripe with sarcasm, though he managed to resist rolling his eyes. that would've been too much, he thought. "shall we schedule a time to meet?" he suggested, once again nearing the line. after all, it wasn't as if he had any room to be offended. not when he hadn't given his family the time of day in years. but there he was.

“ the biggest lie i ever said. ” ft. jason lannister / @qvarrelsome

        the  absence  of  her  bother's  voice  had once been a loss , but now hearing it made her roll her eyes. she wished he was capable of sitting in silence so she could pretend he was not there. if king's order hadn't gathered them all in one location then she doubted she would've seen him for many years. before he could continue, she stood up.   ❝ i'm afraid i do not have time for some grand retelling. i promised cerenna i'd take a walk in the gardens with her. ❞   the lie fell easily , naturally from her lips. alicent had no doubt that her cousin would support her declaration if questioned.

“ where have you been? i've been looking all over for you.” @barbieshub

"i've been here," aurelio responded, brow furrowed as they turned to look at their cousin, clear confusion present on their face. originally, they had considered a more sarcastic response but something told them this was not a joking matter. "did you need something?" they hesitated to ask.

[qvarrelsome]

"jacaerys," matarys smiled as he rested against a conveniently located barrel. "i thought i might get in some training," he admitted with a laugh. it hadn't sounded quite so ridiculous when it had been a thought but the second the words had left his mouth, the older male found himself feeling rather foolish. "though now that i have had the opportunity to watch you, i do think i should stick to observation." he didn't want to make a fool of himself.

“ put down your sword and you can call me what you like. ” ft. matarys martell / @qvarrelsome

        his  chest  heaved  with  each  deep  breath. annoyance briefly colored his expression at being interrupted no matter who it was, but he swallowed it, like a dragon pulling back its fire before it escaped its throat, before turning toward his uncle. sword sheathed in one smooth motion.   ❝ uncle. ❞   voice even toned yet polite. admiration he held toward his father and mother did not extend to other valyrian elder, aided by remarks made by kingly father and mentor, but at the end of the day they stood beneath the same banner. unless the older man decided to sell blood out for snakes if the gods demanded he choose.   ❝ what has brought you to the training yard? ❞

[qvarrelsome]

"are you sure you'll be able to stay on syraxes' back?" matarys chuckled as he filled his cup with the remainder of his bottle of dornish red. "i accept your challenge, nephew," he made a point of adding before taking a generous sip of his wine.

it had been too easy for jason to respond, the words effortlessly rolling of his tongue. there was a time where he was made up of hostility, but he'd matured past that, mainly due to the influence of his long-term companion. he was more than just pure, unadulterated anger. granted, he was still incredibly short-tempered, but he was no longer outwardly hostile to everyone with the misfortune of crossing his path. though, he had no trouble falling back on his old ways when it came to his father. "grateful," he muttered before letting out a loud laugh. "i suppose i should be," he paused, "tell me, how many meetings did you have to reschedule? i hope you didn't go to any great trouble for me." he thought to add something about how he'd never done so before, but he opted against it for the time being.

aurelio rogare / the snake

it was nothing more than a piece of jewelry, as far as the lord of lys was concerned. though he could admit it was quite beautiful. it held no special meaning to him.

in contrast to his usual colorful garb, he opts to done a more monochromatic look for the evening. he wants attention to be drawn to the piece of jewelry worn around his neck. his legs are bare apart from the singular carved snake wrapped around his right calf, painted black for the occasion. he wears a simple black frock, a simple black cape on top of that. his mask, is also black and just as simple with the notable addition of a forked tongue sticking out of the mouth.

[qvarrelsome]

matarys martell / the mermaid

the prince of the tower of joy had long been known for his love of costumes. it was only natural that he would go all out on piecing together his costume for the evening. a pity, he neglected to any thought into his movement.

he is late to arrive to the labyrinth, though it's not through his own choice - it just takes that long for him to walk there. his chosen costume meant to resemble a mermaid caught in the net of a fisherman. the simple pair of pants he's chosen to wear are concealed by fishing nets, the ends of his arms painted to resemble fish scales, his chest with the exception of a loose piece of netting draped over his his torso and his piece of jewelry, remains bare. his mask, almost an after thought is painted to resemble waves.

[qvarrelsome]

jason lannister / the dragon

a loud scoff escaped the lips of the young lord of lannisport at the arrival of his jewelry. hand-picked by the king. no doubt a message hidden in the choice, not that he'd be putting the thought into trying to figure it out. he would, however, put the effort into his costume.

he arrives at the entrance of the labyrinth wearing a golden mask made to resemble the face of a dragon. his cloak, a similar shade of gold is adored with scales, a row of spikes traveling down the spine. when he raises his arms, it resembles a dragon's wings. his piece of jewelry is worn around his neck.

biography -

the younger of the sons born to king jaehaerys iii and his wife gwaenn belaerys, the spare as some would say. and while it was true, no one ever expected matarys to ascend the throne he wasn't treated any differently.

he was never jealous of his older brother either, he saw the pressures placed on lucerys and found himself feeling quite relieved he'd never have to experience them.

on top of this, he was a remarkably well-behaved child, doing everything that was expected of him and more. it wasn't long before his parents started using him for "diplomatic" purposes, sending him to visit the houses of westeros.

matarys absolutely loved getting to travel the continent, meeting new people and representing his house. he quickly discovered just how much he enjoyed being away from king's landing. but it was his home, and he loved his family so he always made a point of returning.

he made his first visit to essos at the age of twenty - visiting braavos, lys, pentos and volantis before returning home. he's returned several times over the years, always returning with new luxuries and stories.

MORE DETAILS TBD. sometime around his twenty fifth birthday, matarys married the princess of the tower of joy. it was arranged, but he didn't mind, and he came to love his wife very much. he took her last name.

they would go on to adopt three children. being a husband & dad is his absolute favorite thing in the world ! he loves to brag about his children !

fun facts -

being a husband & a dad are literally his favorite things in the world. he loves to brag about his wife & kids and could easily talk about them for hours.

i have no doubt in my mind this man would be a swiftie.

he's honestly not that smart, but he doesn't let it affect him. granted this hasn't been much of a problem considering he's a prince. it's also possible he has some sort of learning disability.

this man has an incredibly short attention span.

he's never been much of a fighter, per say, but he's not a pacifist. he just doesn't enjoy participating in tourneys. though he does enjoy watching them.

he is incredibly politically savvy, but he doesn't care much for politics.

he's somewhat of a collector, collecting art and trinkets from around the world. there's no particular rhyme or reason to any of the items he collects, he just finds them to be neat !

wanted connections -

his wife & children.

friends. i want him to have all the friends okay ! he's just incredibly friendly, i feel like it would make sense for him to have a lot of friends.

exes. from his youth ! seeing as he spent a considerable amount of time traveling the continent, i think it'd make sense that he has more than a few exes. because he knew he'd never be staying in one place for too long, i'd like to imagine they ended on good terms !

possibly a paramour. this one will have to wait until after we get his wife, but it's a possibility !

honestly any type of wanted connection is welcome !
