CLOSED STARTER — feat. lady leonette rowan ( @goldxnsirens ) at the princess' chambers

it wasn't every day that dragonsfire became the crux of utter fear, not in king's landing, especially when its inhabitants have just begun to think of the crimson rain as long forgone history. there was no doubt that the queen's carefully crafted sense of security had shattered in one fell swoop. " you look well. " the compliment was weak, merely a sound to fill the air of silence as the dragon princess' gaze flickered over to her friend. " i've assumed that your family will take these coming days to spend in seclusion — is that merely your father's desire, and not yours? " no matter the young lady rowan's relationship with her father, daenaera was almost certain that such a tragedy will unite their kin like never before. perhaps she was wrong.

the dragon princess surely knew what it meant to present a united front —  the vestiges of which clung to the farcical outward relationship between mother and daughter. daenaera, a golden mirror of her mother's visage, but also her greatest enemy. she nodded shortly, silver tendrils swaying with the slight movement. " it will not be wise for you to withdraw completely, of course. " what use were an extra pair of eyes and ears if they were secluded in a lonely dark room? " it is important to make people understand that your brother is just an unfortunate bystander who placed his trust on the wrong person. " for what better way for that story to come out than from his loving sister? lilac gaze flickered swiftly out the large open windows —  the beautiful weather, no doubt, inviting all the keep's residents out to its grounds. " too many have begun to feel pity for a traitor to the crown, it seems. "

leonette was sure that this reminded the populous of the crimson rain. an unruly dragon , no matter how foolish the men were , was a threat. a threat to the façade of safety in king's landing. her father was well aware of this , which was why he seemed to stay cooped up with the queen. after all , he served the realm more than he served his family. the woman shrugged.

"my father says we must at least present a united front. that is what i intend to do," she said in response to the princess. what else could leonette do? she did not afford herself the luxury of grief. garlan was gone. what could she do about it? no wishing or grieving could pry her baby brother from the hands of the stranger. "it is wise to do so, i think. i will not be secluding myself from society due to it, though.”
