𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @wnterreign ( sebastian manderly )
" 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.

eirelia's relationships with each of the starks is found at varying degrees. cregan was not present when she came to winterfell , felt out of place and angry for her proposed purpose. her father had been controlling and difficult to manage , she hated winterfell and the starks for what they represented , hated being stuck near a blackwood she was raised to despise. but the starks warmed her cold heart , made her feel welcome , and because of that she was far kinder to them as time passed. that turned into a genuine friendship with harry , a positive acquaintanceship with lyanna and alexia , and an interesting place with cregan. she didn't feel bitterness towards him , and he treated her just as his siblings did in that she was a welcome member of winterfell. he was also the stark she knew the least about if the cousins were counted out. a smile blossoms on her lips at his tease , " i thought one could never get enough practice. " she teases further , even if she would trust him for this. lia was just closer to kaina , but she appreciated cregan's offer , prompting her response. " far be it from me to offend a prince , i would be thankful if you could assist in not letting this scar. i'm far too pretty for such things. " lia has a good bit of confidence , but her words are further in jest.
cregan , in both his youth and his adulthood , could be described as a temperate person . he was difficult to rile , almost impossible to provoke , and despite his natural curiosity , he was not intrusive . he did not pine for the secrets of others , even if he was as enchanted with them as he seemingly was eirelia . it was the opportunity to learn more of her that he was drawn to . once that was gone — he had not grown close enough to any person to know what would come of his affections thereafter . he breathes an all but silent chuckle through his nose at her rebut , accompanied by a winsome smile . it fades some as he brings attention to her cut , gleaning what information he could from the fleeting glances he’d made towards it . “ it looks that way , ” he agrees with the lady’s assessment of her injury , leaning in ever so incrementally whilst still keeping a more than polite distance . “ not so much practice , ” he begins , smile returning to his face , “ i got enough of that earning my silver link . ” though he knew enough and was capable to a level that a grandmaester had granted him leave to forge six links of his own chain — many seemed to discount him as a novice , and likely would until his chain was completed and he bore the title maester . “ still , i would try not to let it offend me so if you’d prefer to go to kaina . ”

𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 ( @reignrbs )
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.

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @wnterreign ( katerina blacktyde ) "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 ?

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @ruinovs ( thalina tully )
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.

" it seems i needed a reminder. " agrees the lady. her time in westeros was ruining her instincts , and even worse the time in sunspear making her lose her mind. myranda felt soft and squishy , she could not wait to leave and visit volantis once more. her siblings would have to understand , she wasn't raised to stick by their sides forever. " the free cities each have their own charms. i would recommend myr or pentos. " she does not mention volantis , it's not a vacationing spot even if she thought the lady plenty capable of handling themselves. " i find myself envious of those who do not have to rely on the roads to take them home. " it's only a slight joke , flying had to be swifter than riding , but myr would be heading for the ports , yet to secure passage but no doubt in her mind that she could.
❝ i've long given up thinking stupidity cannot reach new lows. ❞ she shook her head, scoffing. her brother had once surprised her with some of his decisions but by the time they'd all gathered in king's landing no decision had truly surprised her. not even her brother's foolhardy betrothal. annoyance was better than continuous disappointment. ❝ one day i hope to travel there. ❞ she wondered if rhaenys would be open to traveling there following their release and visit to storm's end. the journey couldn't be terribly long if they flew. then again, anya wasn't sure if her first time riding a dragon should be over a sea. ❝ it has been dreadful. it'll be a race for the gates once they finally reopen. but i doubt it'll cease these tedious gatherings. ❞

𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 ( @reignrbs )
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. "

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @wnterreign ( kieran bolton ) ∗ 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.

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @crwngoldslds ( doran martell )
" the cells are slowly clearing out. " he isn't sure where he's going with it , vorian's mind is only half cognizant of his day to day motions at this point. stress and lack of sleep did wonders for the mind , even one such as his. " i have far less of the nobility nagging at me to release their innocents as if i have a single say. " and that is perhaps what he struggled with the most , vorian was not in control in the slightest of men he was supposed to be leading.

hugo aimlessly wandered sunspear despite the constant claim of it being unsafe. he was an artist at heart , enjoyed seeing the stunning architecture of the old palace , and often found himself buried into a corner to sketch out something beautiful. not many noticed the stray lord , and he was completely fine with that. unrest to leave had coiled in his belly like a snake , sketching in his charcoals helped soothe the annoyance. the bear never did well with such things. one of his more recent drawings was of a stunning flower he'd spotted in the gardens , and the lord thought best to offer it to his sister. it wasn't hard to find her , overhearing the offered statement to whoever was there. his eyebrow cocks , but hugo remains back until the other leave to make his approach. " it very much was. " agrees he.
torn between wanting to remove themself from the situation they'd found herself in , yet be good at their duties and alleviate the tensions upon the new royal's shoulders liyah forced a smile . practiced , no longer the grimace it once was in the face of nobles and higher ranked royals . ❝ i understand your concerns , however , her highness is not available for an audience at this time . is there anything i can assist you with ? ❞ repetitive and spoken for the umpteenth time , they are grateful for the huff of air that they leave in though can not resist the mumble beneath their breath , ❝ that was rather rude . ❞

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @wnterreign ( harrion stark )
every ounce of her being relaxed the moment her sister walked through the doors of the bracken apartments. lia hated spending time in them , but had made a point to do so since that was the best way to know when her sister was released. she avoided her brother like the plague , confined quarters making that nearly impossible. a knock at the door to their apartments stirs her from watching her sister nap on the couch nearby , glancing towards the guards stationed there with a cocked brow. slowly the lady pushes up from her own chair cracking open the door with a flash of surprise on her features. “ your grace. ”

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @crwngolds ( melony drumm )
" if i wish to stay in pyke , what shall you do ? " drawls the prince as he ponders too many things at once. he didn't think it would be hard for melly to find something entertaining to do if he didn't wish to sail , but was nosy and wished to hear what she might be considering. daegon wasn't foolish enough to think that simply because he stayed in pyke , his best friend would too , but he wouldn't lie and say he'd hate to have the company either.

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @silverflcmes ( valeria bolton. ) ∗ 36﹕ sender is found drunk by receiver .
myranda spends most of her time away from their apartments. it has nothing to do with disliking her family , she simply has other interests while in sunspear. when she finally does make it to their rooms finding her sister with multiple empty bottles of wine is not what she expected. gods , was val that stressed ? or perhaps her sister was just letting loose , who was myranda to judge ? slowly the youngest bolton walks into the space , surveying everything she could take in. " are you ... drunk ? " questions she.

myranda weighs her answer briefly before responding , she doesn't like to give everything away. " old habits die hard , i do not think your or valeria capable of taking my head , no. " now , using his connections ? the lady was not so foolish to think that if he asked for the assistance of the greyjoy he clung to , she would be safe. myranda knew that it was common to think oneself infallible , she was fairly skilled at saving her own ass but would not assume she could best the might of the iron islands royalty. " i will help if you give your word to consider my request. " one she had not shared , for the second she admitted it she'd sound like a broken little child yearning for love. perhaps all of the boltons were just that on some level. myr tilts her head , eyeing soren as she puts together her words. " i know none of us made an effort to know you sooner , and i do not blame you for holding that grudge. " hells , she would do the same. " but i wish to remedy that , and when we leave sunspear i would like to write one another. "
stxrfclls·:
myranda could sit her and try to figure out every ounce of her brother’s motives , but it would be time wasted. she did not know him well enough to pick up on the minute details of his expressions , the small indications of when he was honest and when he was not. in time , perhaps , but not now. in truth , she was simply letting her focus remain on the fact that he wished to speak to her at all , that he’d sought her out and not the other way around. “ my trust is not so easily given , soren. there were times such a thing could have cost my head. ” or her neck. or her blood. in her old life it could be ruinous , in her current life it spelled near the same level of danger. “ but have it your way. it’s not as if i have any real desires you can assist in currently. ” a slight lie , but she refused to show the small girl inside of her craving to know her eldest brother. myr was prideful , and she didn’t yet trust soren not to belittle her for those ancient feelings.
more time wastes trying to convince the young bolton to assist him, annoyance showing in a clench of his jaw. truth be told, he thought it would be easier, giving the other very little benefit of the doubt. ❝ do you think i am here for your head? or that your sister will take yours? ❞ he would not be so obvious and while he was highly doubtful valeria would, if she did, it would say much more about the boltons than anything they possibly could. ❝ so then you will help with no cost then? ❞ as that was how it would go if he had things his way. he did not blame myranda for keeping him at arm’s length. it proved she was smarter than she was desperate. blindly trusting anyone, even if you shared blood, was unwise, but he still hoped to speed things up before any of the others caught wind.

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @encirclet ( visera waters ) ∗ 81﹕ sender helps receiver style their hair .
" my hair ? " comes her question , smile atop the stark's lips as she faces her friend. lex may be feeling more herself , but she still enjoyed spending time in her room and was happy visera came to keep her company. " alright. " relents she , turning back to face the mirror and tracking each movement her friend's fingers make in her bright red mane. it doesn't take long before her hair is arranged and she glances up to meet vis's eyes in the mirror. " it's beautiful , vis. " comes her way of thanks. alexia has never been one to fuss over her hair , but looking at it now she couldn't help but envy her friend's skill.

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @encirclet ( maery greyjoy ) "Do you really want to put yourself through this?"
the prince's brow raises at the question his sister poses , unsurprised and wondering what she wishes to gain from this conversation. maery is a part of his soul , but even still the kraken feels he doesn't fully know her motives. sometimes he wonders if she even knows them for herself. " i wish to be a better member of this family. " begins he , voicing things he had very often kept to himself. " to do so i need to be more productive , sailing about and getting drunk doesn't do that. " a shrug graces his shoulders. " do you not think it will work ? " he wasn't sure what to do yet , but daegon had only shared his vague plans to remain in pyke and be of more use to his family than not.
