𝚂𝚃𝙰𝚃𝚄𝚂 : closed, capping at 3 muses - 3/3 𝚃𝙸𝙼𝙴 + 𝙻𝙾𝙲𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽 : first day of the feast, viserys' bedchambers.
the stark girl had not been the only member of her family to express her disapproval of her father accepting the invitation to dragonstone, no matter how incriminating it may have looked if they had chosen to ignore it. for all they knew, the death of the dragon could’ve been nothing more than a ploy to remove her family from the north —— traveling right to their own deaths, but her father had simply refused to assume the worst. naturally, alyssa had separated from the rest of her family in favor of exploring the castle, only to find herself walking into the late dragon’s bedchambers. a curious brow raised at the person she would see to be standing there as well. “ should you be here right now ? ��� tone accusatory, and she took a step closer. “ i suppose i have no room to speak, but gods, this castle is a maze. ”

after such a tense encounter with the princess of dragonstone, alyssa had welcomed the sight of a familiar face — someone who she knew shared her discontent for being so far south. “ looking for you, actually. i was in need of a break from playing nice with southerners. ” just as it had been clear that her friend was. alyssa took a few steps closer to her side, sighing as she watched magnar fetch the piece of driftwood. “ we should not be here .. it feels as if we’ve been lured into a trap, does it not ? i don’t plan on staying long enough to find out. ” with a soft shake of her head, alyssa turned to her friend once more. “ i wonder, how much wine would it take before attempting to swim back home will sound like a pleasant idea, hm ? ”
gilliane takes the first opportunity to be rid of the crowd. now, far enough away from the pit of vipers ( a place no northerner should be at but one her father was more than glad to accept an invitation to ), she takes a breather with a company she knows will make this whole situation slightly better, if only because she forgets all about it for a few moments. thin lips smile as her hound comes to her, showing her a piece of driftwood he's gotten between his teeth. uncovered hands run down the hound's back, a great dane sized canine that is bound to keep unwanted visitors away ━━ if only due to the dog's sheer size. still, it was not enough to keep all away as footsteps grew closer and closer. gilliane sighs and speaks to magnar as she takes the piece of driftwood away. ❝ go, magnar. ❞ she throws the driftwood, watches as her dog goes for it. then, she turns her attention to her newfound company. ❝ looking for a place away from the crowded hall? ❞ eyes still remain on magnar, voice monotone.
SEMI CLOSED STARTER for @steelseers, @auraeted, @halfvvater & @stormsfell ╱ ( 1 / 2 additional replies ) ━━ day one of the feast, dragonstone's courtyard

𝙵𝙴𝙰𝚃𝚄𝚁𝙸𝙽𝙶 : cregan stark ╱ @disfunctie . 𝚃𝙸𝙼𝙴 + 𝙻𝙾𝙲𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽 : third day of the feast, hallway within dragonstone.
“ a firmer grasp on the hilt may prove to be more helpful in gouging your eyes out, brother. ” the tease had been accompanied by features pulling up into a slight smirk, as alyssa had been graced with the sight of cregan twirling his trusted blade within his hand. taking a seat beside him upon the bench, she finally allowed tense shoulders to fall — the strain of being forced to utter such pleasantries to people who did not deserve them in the slightest, finally catching up to her. “ it feels as if we’re here to be toyed with. father only cares about keeping the peace … i wonder how peaceful we’ll all be without our heads, or turned to ash from dragonfire. ” humming softly, shoulders would rise and fall in a soft shrug. “ which would be the more unfavorable way to go ? ”

as it would turn out, lions and dragons had been the least of alyssa’s worries on that dreadful island — no, her true vexation was something more familiar to her. someone, who the youngest stark had not considered crossing paths with as much as she should have. their gods did not lack any semblance of humor as alyssa stumbled upon the dragonmont, and laid eyes upon the girl who was once the only person she would have thought to seek out during such a time. footsteps were not nearly as silent as she had hoped, as she’d turned away to leave erena to her own devices, and her eyes shut tightly as she had been caught. exhaling deeply, the stark girl would turn on her heel and approach her former friend. “ have i ever been ? ” arms folded protectively against her chest, as if she’d had something to fear from the other. “ i never could surprise you, ren. should i save my breath, simply ask you how this conversation will end instead ? ” you’ve seen it already, have you not ? just as you saw the end of us caring for one another ?
𝑖 . at the foot of the dragonmont, at dusk. 𝑖𝑖 . for alyssa stark, @auraeted.
erena had never been truly tender in friendship. the omens that came to her in dreams began pressing down on her like the sea when she was as young as ten and two. at ten and six, her head had dipped beneath the surface forevermore — her girlhood innocence swept out in the undertow. mere moons later, it would take alyssa from her too, a connection that had existed against both the will of their houses' storied histories and the trip wire tensions that festered between their fathers and brothers. their mothers, contrarily, had shared a closeness that they'd passed unto their daughters. youngest bolton had reached for youngest stark's hand for years, until she found that she could no longer see it through the prophetic fog. a friendship that had began in the laps of their mothers had ended somewhere in the woods between the dreadfort and winterfell. in truth, alyssa and gilliane's companionship made far more sense. gilliane had spent much of her time in the dreadfort's kennels growing up, always harbouring an affection for hounds. when erena thought of it now, a rage bloomed within her that was animalistic. she wanted to pick alyssa up in her jaws and shake, eat of her memory until only bone remained. when it counted, erena could be wolf-like too. she is crouched at the base of the dragonmont, picking carefully through the foliage that grew sparsely there. footsteps on silt and rock break her from a stupor, half herself and half dreaming. “ you are not so subtle, " she prompts, not turning from the task at hand.

the face of the man was not one that alyssa had recognized, but perhaps there was comfort to be found within that fact. shoulders visibly relaxed then, “ this doesn’t seem like a place that would favor the youth. it’s cold — uninviting, just as people would assume that winterfell is. ” her home was far from it, though. such gross assumptions had only come from southerners would would not last more than a mere couple of hours in the north. “ what else are we meant to do, if not explore ? it isn’t as if we are being provided with any thrilling entertainment, aside from the threat of dragons resting atop the castle. ”
It had been years since the last time Aenys had been in Dragonstone. He had been but a child back then, so his memory of the place was failing. And that's how he came to be standing in the late prince's bedchambers, certainly not the place he wanted to be after what had happened. A voice behind him startled him, catching him off guard as he turned around to face the person. "No, I would assume not." He said as he walked towards the exit of the bedchambers. "I have been here before, when I was a young boy but I do not remember most of it." He admitted, letting out a sigh. "Exploring alone might have been a bad idea." But it was in his nature, he loved exploring and getting familiar with his surroundings.

the dragon’s daughter was one of the many that alyssa had not cared to interact with so intimately, and yet there she stood, in the very place that one could not fault them for attempting to escape the commotion. “ something we both agree on .. ” she would mumble beneath her breath. alyssa shouldn’t have been anywhere near dragonstone, not during such a tense time in the realm. she should’ve been in winterfell, preparing for what would inevitably come next as fingers were pointed towards her family and those closest to them. “ i think i’d rather attempt to find my own way, your grace. i would not want to find myself led down to the dragon pit, and roasted alive where i stood. ”
grief has not quite taken a hold of rhaenys yet. it hasn't made their knees lose strength, have them sobbing on the ground until they have no more tears left. it hasn't made them scream out until their throat cracks from it. it hasn't shown them what they have lost and her guests ought to be thankful for it. there is anger and pain, there is confusion and frustration. nothing more. for now, rhaenys takes in every inch of her father's quarters ━━ perhaps the answer to all the questions she has will be found there. the sound of unwanted footsteps takes them away from their own mind. ❝ i can be here right now. you, on the other hand, should not. ❞ there is little sympathy for guests at the moment, the need to be an hospitable host lost in the need to find answers. rhaenys takes a deep breath, hears their father's words echoing inside their mind. ❝ i can offer my help, take you where your quarters are. ❞
