With the stress of everything going around Naerys needed so peace and quiet. She sighed with relief as she prepared to mount Varunas " Oh what would I do without you, with everyone arriving soon it has been too stressful". Naerys hugged Varunas, or at least tried not to say she could truly hug her dragon given the size. " I just hope this all goes easy and smooth".

wylla was loath to leave the north after so long away from it, even with the promise of great feasts and celebrations. she convinced herself to be perfectly miserable at king's landing, even knowing the vow wouldn't last too long if stories about the capital city where to be believed. sterling, on the other hand, had no such qualms about enjoying himself, rolling in the royal gardens like a pup and not a beast almost the size of a pony. it was certainly enough to attract some curious looks. "he does bite, you know. unprovoked." she said to one of the onlookers, voice tinged with mischief. "but only when i tell him to."

The itch to enjoy the free-flowing drinks kept pressing at the back of his mind as his eyes scanned over the crowd. The people were merry and no danger was in sight but as a member of the king's guard, he knew his duty always came before his own enjoyment. One drink would not dull his senses but it was better to practice abstinence during such an important event.

Monterys swirled the wine in his cup as he watched the lords and ladies who had attended his father's coronation flutter about the great hall. It was his duty to partake in the revelry of the day, to solidify shaky alliances and build trust and love for his house. Still, he longed to be elsewhere, amongst the dark clouds of Blackwater Bay atop Tyraxes or feeling the rock of his ship underfoot as it sailed away from Westeros.

He missed his time of expedition and adventure and knew that he would never feel that sense of freedom again now that he had returned. His father needed him to command as he pleased and he would attend to his duty honorably, stifling the longing that festered inside of him.

" daella commanded the small dragon who was perched on the ledge of a balcony. the pink dragon, no larger than a puppy, obeyed the command and set the small plate of meat ablaze. daella cheered for aelys. the princess had gone twenty-three years without a dragon of her own. while her siblings were learning to command and ride their own mounts, daella spent her days elsewhere, most often reading. it was surreal now to be stood here, watching the small creature. aelys scarfed down the bits of meat and looked up at daella giving what the princess could only describe as a smile. " have you ever seen anything so amazing? " she said, not to anyone in particular.
