" come in. " voices the hand when he hears a knock at his door. cedrick has been spending more time in his office than anywhere else , save spending time with his children who were still very confused why they had yet to leave sunspear. he knew there was little they could do for the prisoners in the dungeons , but still wished to ensure that they walked the fine line of cooperation without looking as if they were bending the knee to dorne. his eyes only slowly drift from the papers before him to see who is entering , uncertain who would even come to him at this hour. what time was it even ?

vorian’s head was spinning , but he wasn’t allowed to take a moment to grapple with any of it. instead he was storming off to the western gates of the palace where his man had sent word that someone was trying to leave. apparently their no’s were not enough , his were required. the lord commander didn’t even take the time to determine who it was , voice booming across the distance before he closed the gap. “ the gates are closed for a reason. if you seek to leave , it must be taken up with the ruling princess. ” his tone gave no indication that the plea would be granted , no room for arguments.

" i have already visited once , i know he resides there. " begins the bolton , looking at a guard with an incredibly unamused stare. " i need to see my brother and ensure his continued well being. " not a total lie , but in truth she just wished to see him behind bars once more. a deeper part of myranda did care if he was doing well , but the more sinister side simply enjoyed his imprisonment. she wouldn't be admitting that to this guard , however , especially when the other seemed to think visiting hours were closed.

" i miss acadia. " comes the voice of the princess as she gazes up at the ceiling of her rooms. it's far too hot to be outside , in her mind , and while her mood has improved the stark still does not wish to traverse halls filled with people angry at her family for actions outside of their control. " but she'd be miserable here. " as was she , training in dorne had sounded incredible , in practice it was miserable and the wolf longed for a chill of cold air to soothe her skin.

the doors were so creaky here there was no ability to be silent. rowan was still learning this gods forsaken castle that seemed to move in her sleep if you asked her. the stress of everything fogging her mind and making it nearly impossible for her to dedicate sunspear to memory. as the lady pushed into what she thought was one of the many sitting rooms where she’d found the most solitude. however , the moment her eyes took in the room she found it was not only occupied , but not the one she’d been looking for in the first place. “ my apologies , i didn’t mean to intrude. ” comes her quick reply to stumbling upon another’s space.

perhaps sitting on the wall of the sunspear palace wasn’t the best place to be , a stiff breeze could cause her to lose her balance instantly. but the princess had better balance than that , and she found her eyes watching the night sky above. one day of being trapped and she had yet to go stir crazy , unlike in king’s landing where the young wolf had begged and pleaded for home , in dorne she was calm. a calmness that should alarm any who knew her , a calmness that had gone unbroken for nearly an entire turn of the sun. footsteps echoed into the air , signaling she was no longer alone in her chosen spot. “ the stars look so much different here than they do in winterfell. ”

she felt like a shell of a person , never to be complete and no hope of happiness. so much had happened since they came to dorne , sunspear where she was the most eager to see once more. desmera didn’t believe herself strong enough to deal with any of it , spending her hours crying behind locked doors while the father of her children had to be their sole caregiver. but it was the moments when the fowler apartments were empty that proved to be the most agonizing , the silence deafening. it’s why the knock of their main door pulls the fowler from her thoughts , and desmera quickly wipes her eyes and moves to open it. “ my parents are out , if that is who you seek , but should return later. ” she says , voice soft and broken and coming before she’s even fully looked at who has graced their door.

of all the fucking times in all of dorne for shit to happen , it had to be mere months after the dayne took his role. vorian’s head could have exploded with how angry he’d gotten , and his knights had certainly seen the aftermath on the training grounds mere moments ago. the lord commander stalks from the grounds towards the outskirts , setting his sword on the bench and reaching for the goblet of water that lay there. feeling eyes on him is nothing new , but his temper is snapped and his patience thin. his own gaze snaps up to the source , voice possibly a bit too harsh. “ are you in need of something ? ”

“ i hope your rooms are to your liking , should you need anything please do not hesitate to ask. ” he was chipper , far too happy for abraxas on any other day. but the prince was wed , he was happy , and he was in dorne. while sunspear felt plenty crowded , nothing could dampen the prince’s mood. besides , he was always happy to show off his home. or , his partial home now , he supposed.

training seemed to be all he could do to keep his mind busy. running drills with knights as he barked orders of correction in form. he'd assume they hated him for it , but they were all trained this way. dorne was not meant to have weak warriors , he assumed his knights took the incident of the wedding to heart and wanted to improve because of it. the lord commander was also not unaware his methods earned an audience , and when he felt eyes on the back of his head spun to face the source. " care to join ? or are you just here to watch ? " his tone isn't too harsh , vorian doesn't care for an audience but won't tell people to go away either.

"Do you really want to put yourself through this?"
hugo knows they'd yet to really talk , despite having crossed paths several times at this point. he'd been afraid to broach anything else , to question if she was comfortable with the arrangement and what their future would be. but it seemed the little ironborn was set to surprise the bear today , her question being met with surprised eyes. the lord takes a moment to respond , not wishing to mistake his thoughts. " if i were not willing , i would not be attempting to get to know you , katerina. " he begins , uncertain if even that was the right thing to say. gods , he probably should have asked hugo and mav for help with this. " we are quite some way from all of that , but i think we could have a peaceful future together. " did that even sound good ?

gentle is the knock that his hand gives when he finds himself at their door once more , vivid memories sliding through his mind all over again at the last visit here. only this time would be nothing like the last as his free hand holds that of his daughter braella's. in her hand is her twin sister meera's. cedrick couldn't deny their request to visit thali , it'd been some time since they'd see her and he knew how high they held her. " i hope we are not interrupting , they would not go to bed without seeing you first. " his tone is warm , even if he still worries. telling thali how he felt had not gone as planned , he still replayed the conversation willing himself to make it go better somehow. ced had yet to build the confidence to speak to them once more , even if many of his prior concerns had seemingly erased the more he processed through it all.

desmera's hand was normally more delicate than this , more careful and certainly more gentle. but she was in a rush , straightening a torch her children had knocked a ball into on their rush outside with their septa. the lady was in a hurry to fix it and move on , spend as much time with the triplets as she could before it was months before she saw them again. her hand brushes the fixture hastily , and in all the wrong ways as rather than fixing it the torch falls to the ground entirely. " gods. " she cusses , thankful it was unlit but still annoyed at her unsteady hand. the clamber to the ground was loud , des frantically looks up to catch the eyes of another who she assumed had watched it all. " you've seen nothing. "

∗ 39﹕ sender is caught following receiver .
myranda is far too trained to be followed , far too observant. the steps behind her register quickly , and the lady begins to change her original path from her rooms to a random hall. only when she's certain none else are around does she spin on her heel quickly , dagger pulled from gods know where as she angles at at the other. recognition flashes in her eyes , but the blade remains drawn. " now you wish to see me ? " she's annoyed , knowing he was released and choosing to find her this way set the bolton off.

“ i hardly understand what they expect to accomplish with this. ” begins the princess , feeling a bit better since the night of the wedding but still a little out of sorts. she was back to herself enough to be mouthy , though , and was not afraid to say that she found the choice of the dornish princess to throw everyone in the dungeons as foolish. people mouthing off should have been expected , loved ones lost , others harmed. emotions were high , but that didn’t insinuate guilt. “ and i’m quite tired of having extra guards. ” bash was plenty.

it shouldn’t raise suspicions that the kraken prince was venturing into the dungeons. he had several people important to him who had mouthed off in the way he wished he could have , and the moment he spotted their names on the list given to his father his feet brought him to the place he’d yet to visit. steps echoed as he passed the parts of sunspear that reminded him of hime , and only when more steps echoed the opposite direction did the prince slow. when a flash of bright hair met his eyes , an eyebrow raised. he recognized the other right away , and cocked a charming grin. “ my , what are you doing down here ? ”
