" i've heard of run away brides but a lost one ? " irem paused for a moment , finding herself confused , brows slightly furrowed . " i've never heard of such thing until recently . i hope this isn't a normal occurrence with the rest of westeros . "

instinctively , irem scanned the room to find the peacock , her own head titled to the side as she observed them . " she must have her reasons , " was all the blue fairy hummed , taking a sip of her own drink . " she always does , doesn't she ? whatever it is , we are mere subject and who are we to question them . " the fae's tone dripping with subtle sarcasm . " is it wrong that i don't trust them ? her reasons rather . " her words , though treasonous , were fueled by her anonymity , a touch too much wine , and a sense of trust with the shadowcat . " i can't say i hate my disguise because i don't mind it but not everyone is as lucky , i suppose . "
a night cast in anonymity was a double edged sword. none might know her but she didn't know all to whom she spoke. shadowcat's bravery must be balanced with caution - difficult as it sometimes was. ❝ not all. her grace has deemed some not worthy of being anonymous. the future princess of dragonstone for example. ❞ index finger pointed in direction of the peacock, poor prey surrounded by predators, future good mother denying the protection of being unknown. ❝ i wonder why such choices were made. ❞

" i bet the anonymity is most thrilling for some , " the blue fairy hummed , tiling her head to the side , letting her ebony hair flow down her arm as she observed the room . " to flee from pressures, duties, and perhaps even people ? tonight offers the perfect opportunity to engage in something you might regret come morning , yet retain plausible deniability under the guise of being someone else entirely. crazy , wouldn't you say? " irem let out a chuckle as she popped a grape into her mouth , turning to the person beside her . " do you have something you want to escape from ? "

" darling , you bring your aunt irem great joy , " irem softness rarely revealed , reserved only for those she held dear . " one of these days , i shall steal you away from your mother and keep you with me , yes ? would you like that ? " she paid no heed to the child's mother , her gaze fixed solely on her nephew .

" i would very much like to spend an evening where i do not have to see your face , " one would have to be deaf not to note the tone of disdain in her voice as dark hues caught a glimpse of a familiar figure . one she has been avoiding the past few days . was the red keep not big enough for them to stop running into each other . " if you plan to stick around , i am not sharing my wine . "

irem nearly jolted , the braavosi's voice bringing her back to reality . " forgive me my lord , " she plastered on an apologetic smile , glancing down at her barely touched dornish red , " the children in the distance , " angling her head to catch a better glimpse of them . " their giggles sound so melodious , i could not help but watch them play . " finally , she took a sip from her own chalice , letting the familiar warmth of the red slide down her throat . " i find myself quite jealous of their innocence and carefree nature . "
open starter.
" you weren't listening, were you? the mind wanders elsewhere, i see. " lord zalyne remarks, tone sweet, words rolling off in heavy braavosi accent in the harsh common tongue. he takes no offense, the dornish red making him rather chatty, although mind still quite clear and his companion's distracted demeanor sparking his curiousity above all. " what troubles you? "

" apparently masks give people an excuse to be rude , " irem chastised as she barely caught herself , nearly tripping on her costume . someone had shoved past her , almost spilling their drink on whoever was in their path . the blue fairy instinctively grabbed hold of the nearest person as she steadied herself . " my apologies , " she immediately turned to them , shaking her head . " if i've injured you , please go after that person . "

" the days have slipped by so swiftly that i've lost count , " irem said , a goblet of dornish red in hand as she watched the sun sink into the horizon . she had to admit , it was a sight to behold ; even the solar maiden would grant king's landing that. " tell me , lady fell , what do you do to pass the time ? "

" i long for the sun . for home , " solar maiden's hands clutch her balcony rails tight , brows furrowed at the sight of westeros' capital . she gazed upon it with utter disdain . " were it not for the shame it would bring upon my house, i would have left on the first ship to sunspear . this is ridiculous! "

" do i look that lonely , my lord . . . " irem took a glance at his attire , making out what it was . " seahorse ? " she smiled briefly as the ebony haired fae looked down at her barely touched wine . arbor red had always been a favorite of hers ( next to dornish red of course ) but lucky for her , she did not need a drink to help her get through the night , not with the disguises . " regardless , i would not be opposed to company . maybe not the dancing though , " the blue fairy's breath still slightly labored from her brief disappearance into the gardens, which had left her somewhat breathless .
closed starter , @shebambi @steelfyre @mournedsaint @crimsonsbled @heavnle @twitchywitchys
well - known features of lyseni lord concealed behind azurite embellished mask , he found himself feeling exhilirated by the feast , the atmosphere of the unknown , the night still young and full of oh so many possibilities without one's name attached to them . calloused fingers hold on to goblet of some westerosi wine too bitter for his taste ( but what was tonight for if not trying new things ? ) as lord jaran spots someone that catches his interest, making his way towards them , swift as a cat . " my liege , forgive me if i am mistaken but you seem in need for company , a dance or a drink . i just so happen to be able to provide all three . "

" i would not want to trouble you , my lord . " irem shook her head with a small smile . " i thought i had left them here but seems like that wasn't the case . " in all truth , the butterfly clip was insignificant . she could care less about it but the lord seemed very familiar , not able to put her finger on who it was . " i appreciate the offer though . i can do without it . it must have fallen off . silly me . "
the silken voice is familiar and zahir's curiosity is sparked by the blue fairy in front of him ⸻ perhaps the tone of their voice and mannerisms reminds him of home but even with hints and speculations he cannot know. "forgive me-" he speaks and bows in respect to the liege in front. "i have not, but i would not mind helping you find it." every sand snake holds their cards close to their chest, but in every moment there lays opportunity.

" the queen may trust her council to decide the fate of the realm however i do not . " the younger martell responded , making no effort to hide the skepticism and displeasure in her tone . " whether their decisions are for the good of the realm is arguable . look at they all flock these council members . the red keep is turning into a market and it reeks of desperation . "
closed starter ━━ ft. your choice. @crimsonsbled, @morewoe, @wcrfcres
another attempt to redirect vitriolic fallout. to appear blameless—innocent, should the new hand prove to be a ruinous choice. better to sacrifice what can be easily replaced than continue to subject oneself to the baying for blood. were it anyone else, the golden serpent would find it an ingenious solution. “ it would appear that the queen has placed a great deal of trust in her council’s ability to make the right decision for the good of the realm. ”

features lit up at the sight of the lady dayne , not able to contain her smile . " finally a familiar face , " irem sighed in relief . new places did not faze the martell princess as all her life , there really was not a place she called home , never permanently staying in one place . however , being in kingslanding was unsettling to her , a hostile environment that she could not escape . " i am dreading it here , " she whispered . " would it be counted as treason if i took the next ship home ? "
closed starter ›› irem martell , @primadonnaes
sharp edges softened in the presence of the youngest martell. loyalty as steadfast as the sun where the ruling house was concerned; particular protectiveness, akin to how watchful eyes ensured her youngest sibling remained unharmed, was present where irem was concerned. ❝ how are you faring? ❞ hues turned away from the floral surrounding them, longing for starfall's gardens growing as minutes passed, and toward the other.

irem could not help but burst out in fits of laughter . " which resulted in the birth of your son , " the lady martell pointed out . " it pains me that my dearest nephew is related to that man . in my eyes , he is all you , alara — none of him , " when irem first heard what had happened , she could hardly believe it . she had thought the targaryens would step in to help raise the child , but instead , it was alara who brought him up on her own . another fault she found with the targaryens. " i am sure the eldest princess will soon realize how fortunate she is to have escaped that tragic life , " irem mused , wondering what the gods had in store to allow such trickery to happen . " we shall find me a groom first before all this talk of a wedding . that can wait . i have more pressing matters at hand , one that could decide my future , " giving her cousin a pointed look . the race to be named her father's heir was all that mattered to her .
❝ nothing but a good night in bed, ❞ she plainly stated. the dayne had been no blushing fool like other maidens, thinking a night with a prince meant anything in the morn. nor had she desired it. disdain, consciously set aside, returning with dawn. ❝ i must admit, i care little for her motivations. whatever fantasy convinced her to stab her own kin in the back will fade soon enough. her sister is the true victor. ❞ free of being a dragon's sacrifice and eyes open to how far own sister would go to get her way. alara's words flowed freely with only her cousin around to hear them. as much as she loathed it, in public she'd put on a proper mask. ❝ together we can surely convince your lady mother that a smaller wedding is more sensible. ❞ a brief pause. ❝ though if your father insists on a large one, you should agree. ❞

dark hues glance at the dornish man as a soft sigh escapes through pink petals . " the true question is — " brow lifted curiously , " are we ever leaving this glorified cage ? should we not be on our way home by now ? " irem mumbled , taking in her environment, littered with nobles here and there . quite frankly , irem was sick of king's landing . she wondered how anyone could ever endure living here ? " we are mere subjects , we suffer their consequences . are we still surprised ? how can they fear the gods when they think they are far superior than them ? "
with arms crossed over his chest, the sandstone heir stood next to his childhood friend. the wedding was long past, but the happenings still circled court as a plague. "perhaps getting out of the dragon claw cage is something we should focus on sooner than later." he murmured for friend ears alone. topaz's eyes find a companion and even without words being spoken a deal and promise has been made. from playing in the sand to scheming the martell and qorgyle had given each other promised words and they both would uphold them, until their eyes close for a final time. "it is peculiar, how they defy the gods in everything they do and we are left to suffer for it, is it not?"

"no one sane would , my lord . " the dornish pointed out . " now , what possessed the now princess of dragonstone to pull such bold stunt ? we will never know , " wine cup brought close to her burgundy stained lips . " but i will commend her for her . . . " she paused a moment to find the right word , " courage . " recklessness was what she wanted to say but lady martell chose to keep that to herself .
"I certainly have never heard of a situation like it." As much as one may not like their prospective partner, Amos had never heard of anyone even consider swapping out a bride. Nor had he ever heard of kin usurping another in such a way. An awkward dinner table, he thought. "No one I know would entertain such thoughts. It was a bold move, for sure."
