annoying his sister @ruinovs ( or trying to , rather ) is something osric only likes to do intentionally , and certainly not in the way he had lately . so , he had given her space . still , it had been a while since he last checked in with her , and he had decided to change that . he knocks before her door , and , in brotherly fashion , opens it without waiting for a response . “ shar . ” he pokes his head into the room . “ i promise i’ll leave if ��you want me to , just wanted to know if you needed help with anything . ” being the second most - recent addition to house martell , he’s sure his sister has thrown herself headlong into every responsibility that entails being part of the family . and unlike king’s landing , osric refuses to idly pass his time .

" yeah , yeah . you know best . whatever , " he mutters , only able to take marginal offense to being proven so blatantly wrong while distracted by the saccharine flavor continually coating the inside of his mouth . " it was on the other side . this way . " he jerks his head to the side in an attempt to have them follow . he shouldn't be so amused by their reply , and yet something between a cough and a single bark of laughter still escapes him , " well , i've already been knocked on my ass for everyone to see . though it doesn't hurt anymore . " the roll of his shoulder as he takes a few more steps ( without limping ) is reflexive , testing if it remains tender . other than a bearable twinge at a specific angle , though , it seems his arm is in working order . " at least you didn't wish for me to be mortally wounded , "
their triumphant smirk is quick to form , giving no care to the merchant as they gloat . “ i told you . ” typically contrary in nature they are not surprised that osric wants to try for himself , but neither would they not think his attempt of polite decline wasn't humorous . their face begins to fall flat with his next statement , realizing that he had known where to find what they had been in search of for hours yet withheld the information most likely to aggravate them . “ you think that you saw ? ” they question lowly , gaze narrowing . “ i hope you get knocked on your ass at the joust and are limping for at least a week . ” the declaration is thrown over their shoulder as they turn on their heel in the direction he gestured to .

seeing as jeyne and alicent both insisted that they were fine , but mostly because sharra seemed primed to fight him if he stayed a moment longer ( and not for the first time either ) , osric thinks it best to forgo any of his family members’ apartments entirely for a while . he isn’t sure how long he ambles within the limits of the palace , just as he found himself want to do in the red keep so many months ago , but his mind snaps back into focus as he spots a familiar figure in the hallway ahead of him , a concerned frown forming on his lips , “ @qcyqoyi , how are you ? ” he calls out , “ i tried to visit before , but your guards said you were still resting . ”

osric never thought he would feel more trapped than he had while confined to the red keep or sunspear . yet now that every twist and turn of the briar maze concluded with a wall of red and black — a conclusion he'd come to after tens of minutes of wandering — a sense of foreboding , and of unwanted uncertainty , had crept up on him . but , knowing @ruinovs had been far less enthusiastic to be in the maze than he had , he pushes down his own disquiet . " at least your friend is here to keep us company . " he says , hand outstretched , an offering for the kitten to sniff .

closed starter for @fallencrxwns ( narcissa redsmith )
“ cissa , i hope you’ve been faring well , ” osric greets , grinning as per usual , “ did you miss me terribly ? ” he asks , solely in jest . between aster , the baby she’s carrying , and tharon , he can’t see her concerning herself with him too much , if at all . but the opportunity to rib his friends and family is one he always loves to take .

he beams at the compliment , even if he is the one who thought it up in the first place . " i can do two things at once . easily . " osric boasts , puffing out his chest for good measure . " i was thinking pearls might be nice . for something a little … different , i guess ? " he gestures vaguely in the air before returning to search for himself . it's not as if something of the sort couldn't be found in gulltown as well , but he's wanted to have a souvenir from the reach ever since he'd visited oldtown for the first time . " but i'm open to suggestions too , " he continues .
❝ very lucky, ❞ melina agrees with a nod and light laugh. ❝ i would be careful, though. lest you get trapped being an extra set of eyes for me. ❞ but for now, she is perfectly content doing the same for him, eyes falling to the earring selection. ❝ if you don't see anything here, i know where else we can look. ❞ if she took the job as personal tour guide for those she did not get to see recently, she would do so happily, having to temper too much excitement, at times. but she did not think osric would mind, having dealt with a similar energy from the lady when he visited oldtown.

we welcome osric arryn , the lord of the eyrie . keep an eye out for their vacillating nature , they tend to cover it up by acting charismatic . rumor has it they are neutral to the peace treaty , and their loyalties lie with houses arryn and stark . you'll know it's them when you get flashes of a dazzling smile that doesn't always reach one's eyes ; the soft , coarse fur of a wolf's coat under one's fingertips ; the fear of fond memories of days long past beginning to slip away .
BASIC INFORMATION .
FULL NAME osric arryn .
ETYMOLOGY from the germanic elements os " god " and rice " rich , powerful , ruler . " also an old arryn family name , borne by at least five kings of mountain and vale before the conquest .
ALSO KNOWN AS os , the young falcon .
TITLES lord of the eyrie , lord of the vale .
AGE twenty - five , born in summer .
GENDER cis man .
PRONOUNS he / him / his .
ORIENTATION bisexual biromantic .
MARITAL STATUS unwed , unbetrothed , untethered .
BIRTHPLACE , HOMETOWN , & CURRENT RESIDENCE the eyrie , the vale of arryn , the northern kingdom .
TRAITS vacillating , charismatic , jocose , perspicacious , ambitious , generally easy - going .
ASPECT .
FACECLAIM kofi siriboe .
HEIGHT 6'2" / 188cm .
BUILD tall and lanky . occasionally gives the impression that he’s really only just grown into his body .
EYES golden brown , a few shades darker than his sister's .
HAIR black , tight coils usually closely cropped to his head .
NOTABLE CHARACTERISTICS a meticulously groomed beard ; a wide , captivating smile ; languid movements .
SIGNATURE SCENT bergamot , cassia , vetiver .
RELATIONSHIPS .
PARENTS ruling lord lawren arryn † and ruling lady karina arryn † .
SIBLINGS lady mayra arryn † , ruling lord arryn , lord arryn , princess sharra martell née arryn .
EXTENDED FAMILY ruling lady alicent arryn née royce , lady mayra arryn , house royce , prince abraxas martell , house nymeros martell .
PET nightshade , a she - wolf of varying shades of gray with amber eyes , not unlike osric's own .
STEED sabine , a seal brown mare . she was the first horse that osric chose , as opposed to being a hand - me - down from a family member or picked for him by the master of horse of the arryn household . as such , he’s very attached to her .
ALLEGIANCE house arryn , always . mostly positive about house stark , though he is mildly annoyed with how the king handled things following the tourney in winterfell .
BACKGROUND .
the youngest of numerous siblings — a " spare's spare three times over , " as he sometimes calls himself — osric was quite spoiled growing up . with the freedom to do as he pleased , he became a jack of all trades , but most�� importantly a master of none — he grew to be a competent swordsman , but not the best . he did well enough in his studies , but no one would've ever called him " exceptional . " his instinct for politics was solid , but not great . in the past , as his interests have changed so rapidly , he didn’t mind being so average at so many things . but as he gets older , he does wish he had some sort of niche like the rest of his family .
HEADCANONS .
being so far down the line of succession , any ambition for power osric has can only be met by marrying a current or future ruling liege , so he's on the lookout .
as his character aesthetics suggest , osric was quite young when his parents and eldest sister passed . not much younger than sharra , mind you , but young nonetheless . back in the eyrie , he finds himself studying their portraits whenever he passes by them , as if making sure not to forget what they look like .
hates being serious , to the point where it can be a problem . he’s learning to vocalize his negative emotions and not bottle them up so much , but it's a process .
such a horse girl tbh !! as previously stated , he adores his main mount , sabine , and spends a lot of time pampering her .
continues to try new things not because of a lack of responsibility , but to attempt finding his place in the world .
WANTED CONNECTIONS .
all wcs can be found here !

" let me know when you want to head back , " osric announces , turning his attention from the greenery toward @ruinovs as he continues to amble through the famed labyrinth of highgarden . though there didn't seem to be much point to wandering around , other than to see the various fountains and sculptures hidden within it ; perhaps that was enough of a motive for so many to enter the briar maze . but he is glad andar had humored him by tagging along . " i've been keeping track of the turns we've taken , so it shouldn't take too long to retrace our steps . "

@encirclet sent a raven : sender proposes to receiver .
osric tries his best to temper his reaction , though his eyes still widen in shock . he can only hope it isn’t too noticeable , or at least that it would be understood that being proposed to out of the blue might warrant such an expression . “ oh , wow . y’know , i’m flattered … ” he starts with his winningest smile . it is , though he would not admit it , an affected one . “ … but i’m already spoken for . ” the lie rolls off the tongue a bit too easily for his liking .

as a younger man ( as if he isn’t one currently ; perhaps it would be more accurate to say ‘ during his boyhood ’ ) , osric often took the relationship between clan redsmith and house arryn for granted , looping them into the category of ‘ family ’ because it was what his older siblings did . but in this moment , he is thankful , and acutely aware , that tharon knows the goings on of his house , relieved to have someone he can speak freely with , even if instinct screams at him to remain more lighthearted , like he always did . though he is beginning to think holding all the negativity in could be to his detriment , “ huh . ” the arryn breathes out . always coming up with plans and safeguards , it hadn’t ever occurred to him that simply being present would be enough . “ that’s … a good point . thanks , tharon . ” though it wouldn’t satiate his worries immediately , the advice is definitely something he would keep in mind for the future .
“ i think that sounds like a fine plan. ” tharon agrees , uncaring of the destination really. he’s just glad that osric agreed to have his company , worried for the arryn and eager to see if there is anything he can do for the other. his relationship with each arryn was different , and the knight had learned to adapt to what each needed or wanted of him. he would always be the closest to rodrik , but he hoped to remain as close to each other sibling as he could. when his word is repeated back he waits , allowing osric to build his own thoughts. tharon has grown up both inside and outside of the traditional courts of westeros , his idea of power , his examples , are vastly different from what osric may have witnessed. feeling powerless is something the knight feels anyone can experience , such as they all are now at the mercy of the martells. tharon didn’t hold much agains the ruling family of dorne , he too would have reacted unkindly if something had occured in the eyrie to one of his loved ones. “ i understand. ” there were trials rod faced that tharon could do nothing in. he knew what it felt like to be on the outside of a situation and unable to help. “ when i was unable to do anything for your brother other than be there , i felt much the same. but my father always told me that sometimes merely reminding one they are not alone can make a world of difference. ”

@noxscmnus sent a raven : sender falls asleep leaning against receiver .
“ i never thought i’d bore you to sleep . ” osric chortles , murmuring so as not to wake his brother . “ you haven’t been working too hard again , have you ? ” he asks after a moment , though he expects no answer . shifting slightly , gingerly , the lord makes himself more comfortable , letting his eyes fall shut . given the steady motion of darnell’s breath , they both very well could be here for a while .

boredom has once more led the young lord arryn to wandering . resolving himself to his fate , a long - suffering sigh is about to escape his lungs when he spots a familiar figure up ahead of him in the corridor . inspirited , somewhat , by the sight , osric quickens his pace to catch up , “ good to see you’re still in one piece , @vencmovs . ” he says as he falls into step with the other lord . in rare form , he has started carrying a sword at his hip as a precaution , though he hopes he’ll have no need to use it . “ where’re you headed ? ”

it had been difficult to keep any semblance of calm as he made his way up the spear tower , barely managing to not glare in the prison guards direction when asked who he came to visit . maintaining that calm had been nigh impossible upon coming to face @ruinovs , though he forces a smile , even if andar of all people would be able to recognize just how fake it is , “ i tried to bring you a blanket — and told them they could inspect it for a hidden compartment and everything . i don’t think they liked that much , ” he attempts at a joke . in truth , he had been trying to be solemn , leaving the blanket behind with relatively little resistance once prompted .

“ i guess we will , ” he says with a smile to match hers , full of anticipation . soon enough , however , a pit of dread forms in his stomach ; the moment after her question . nerves , both stemming from the idea of holding someone so small , and their location , hold osric back from saying yes , and he had been trying to come up with a good excuse for days . he shakes his head slowly , a smaller , more measured movement compared to his usual antics . “ maybe another time . i’m still sweaty from being on the training grounds . ” not a complete lie , though not exactly the truth either .
❝ i do. ❞ her words were accompanied by a nod, and her smile grew. she took a moment and examined the wooden toy, admiring the craftsmanship. it would serve as a nice decoration in the nursery, a guardian watching over the newest arryn, until mayra was older. ❝ she’s too young to have those kind of opinions but maybe he’s right. we’ll see when she’s a little older. ❞ and alicent prayed that her daughter didn’t grow up too quickly. she knew she’d do all she could to shield her from the world’s dangers for as long as possible. her gaze drifted back to her good brother. ❝ do you want to hold her? ❞

" would we be better or worse off if the tournament included a melee ? " osric muses aloud , though speaking at a volume well within range of others around , @silverflcmes included , to hear . given the results of the second day , though , one could easily say it had been just as bloody as a melee would have been . he counts himself beyond fortunate to not have ended up in a much worse state during his time participating in the joust .

the reaction of the crowd before his match with darnell had been all too amusing to osric . seeing as he'd entered the tournament for fun , he had little stake in whether he won or lost — though there is a small part of him that wishes he'd advanced further , if only to experience more of what a tourney has to offer as a participant . but there are no hard feelings on osric's end , no matter how many people ask , which is the very same mindset he shares when @thcrnedhearts approaches , " before you ask , no , there's no bad blood between my brother and me . if you want drama or gossip , you'll have to ask elsewhere . "
