perhaps the bliss within heir to essos was false ⸻ maybe this was all a ploy for her to let her walls fall down and her rage ignites once more. with the smell of roses inhabiting her vicinity the dagareon stood on her balcony, onyx hair flowing in the calm and gentle breeze filled with pleasantries. it was frightening, allowing oneself to feel happiness. gentle steps were heard from the door frame and princess turned to find beloved companion. "did you dance last night?" small tint of rose covered future empress' cheeks at the memories of last evening. she'd danced with the one she loved, forgotten her worries, and felt lighter than in months. "I do not remember much outside of my own dances."

empathy shines in eyes of harpy. oh how she wished she could wrap her beloved sand princess in a co-coon to be protected from the fighting of blood relatives. she knew that in essos they had been lucky. none wanted to fight for the throne, it was all given who was to take it. even after eldest perished into nothing, she accepted her role while the others bowed in respect for the next in line.
" no, it is not wrong to wish for happiness for those you love. " hands once more find those of beloved dornish princess, holding her firm in a grasp of a woman who would not watch as she withered away. " find your own path and at the same time do not forget who you are. " smile comes forth and even if her words are not what princess wants, perhaps it is what she needs. " do not let your mind cloud with worry, instead will you braid my hair ? " distraction, different subject. her friend did not blood-war to follow her to essos, so she would no longer press the matter. she had given her words about it and how isra acted, would be fully up to her.
" my role in dorne. " helen echoed amethyst's words, her own golden flickering between adhika's in search of the answer to unspoken question. dorne's daughter believed there was none left, no duty left until father placed the crown on top of one of their heads. to be asked to watch as family is torn, as the love she'd once cultivated was corrupted, all in the name of the throne made from sand, isra is not sure she could. hands softly slid out of the empress to be's, knotted together in front of herself, eyes growing unfocused. adhika was not wrong, but tigress does not wish to hear what was right. " is that all i should become, then? someone to use, someone to obey their demands. is that all i should be known for? dorne does not need me, and i do not wish to watch my siblings tear each other apart. is that so wrong? "

harpy's ears perked and listened to her sunflowers words. she felt glad that someone from outside of essos could find themselves a home where she was to rule, but the lingering doubt she felt for isra's position was enough for empress to be, to turn around and take delicate hands in own slender. " I understand that your life in essos is important- " amethyst hues were filled with compassion and kindness, for what else could she give to someone who so eagerly gave their all for her ? " however, as someone who lost a crown and gained another by loss I hope you understand your role in dorne. " she didn't wish to lecture her, or take away her own mind, but as they were both of blue blood, the understanding of role given at birth should be considered. " they will need you and they will demand, but you are always welcome in essos when need be. Yet help those you love, for who are we without our kin ?"
" i am happy , adhika . " princess assured quickly , realizing content was a poor choice of word . pentos became more of a home to isra than sunspear had been . no hostility , tension removed , and none looked upon her with cruel intentions . she was not another choice , not another obstacle to break and invest in when time came for a father to make up his mind . " happy for the peace of mind essos has granted me , happy to watch as you receive the love you deserve . i am happy to be able to breath freely — but , i don't think a love of my own has a place in that happiness right now . " dornish spoke truthfully , as she always had with the empress to be . never half truths , no deception coloring sentences and feelings . her heart and mind was open to her , and she wished for it to always be . " there's too much going on too fast . "

there was no denying the dornish sunflower she had accepted into her life was clever beyond her years. she held both wisdom and doubt within her and through all of this, the empress to be felt compelled to make the sunflower she cared much for, find her place in her kingdom. however, she experienced such love and adoration openly in the public for the first time, and having someone believe it was not worth enjoying made her heart sink. " why settle for just being content ? " she countered as she felt light fingers brush to her onyx locks. " I wish for your happiness isra, even if you feel content right now, I wish for more than that for you. " she mused empathy present and brimming in her voice.
" and tempt the loose lips of the servants ? love ― is not something i wish to seek any time soon . " the internal conflict within the walls of sunspear , the flesh seeking shadow of greed that loomed over once intertwined fingers , the princess feared a prospect would only turn those ugly eyes onto her . a hum escaped strawberry lips , lithe figure stepped quietly and closer to the new heir of essos , fingers reaching to brush out invisible knots from dark tendrils . princess of dornish gold sympathized , gaze forlorn at the memory of late prince . one crown exchanged for another , at the cost of a dearest life . " why settle for an eternity bound to marital duties , when i am pleasantly content with my life in essos ? "

knowing smile is given back to sun of dorne and empress to be cannot help the colors in her cheek deepening. she had been happy, content, and perhaps blurry-minded during her dancing. after all, how many years had she not wanted to dance with her beloved like that + out in the open, unafraid of on-lookers and whispers. it was known they were courting and it was known no one else was allowed to claim her hand, or at least that was what the harpy's eyes distributed to others. " that is a lie, you dance as good as anyone else. " she contradicted before grinning. " tell me if there is anyone you like, perhaps I can set something up ⸻ my new title does have it's privileges " and burdens, she remembered, her heart reminiscing of her beloved brother.
westeros was once home to the dornish sun , but now long abandoned . soil felt foreign , the sights clearing memory , turning a blurry painting into an artist's sharp masterpiece . yet , eyes are glued , captured by the sea's horizon , yearning for the home she'd built carefully . yet , such a voyage was impossible now , so feet led her to company that felt the most like essos . a smile natural , carved into soft lips , a warm sentiment growing when seeing adhika so free . " hm , i would assume not . you looked ― far too engrossed with a certain partner . " the words are teasing , void of malicious double meaning , only felicity dripping from her tongue . " only a few were privy to my hand last night . i am not the best of dancers , if you remember . "
