he would rather put his own body to the sword than wear the mask for any longer. the fox mask, painted gold, was a gift to his house from house florent of brightwater keep many years ago. it was meant for his brother, of course, so the edges did not fit quite right. leofric lefford was a warrior, but he would be lying if he said it didn't ruin his night entirely to be wearing it.
still, a smile came upon his face as he watched dyana, his youngest child, find her aunt selyse. the children were allowed to stay only for the arrivals of the guests before he would have them brought to bed, as a reward for behaving on the journey here. they had been without their mother for a while now, but without her family even longer. they tended to stay away.
" good evening, lady selyse. " he bowed, allowing dyana to greet her aswell before being distracted by the next thing. " i apologize. i think you'll find the children have become rather spirited residing in golden tooth. "
his sister-in-law was much unknown to him, and he couldn't help but think it was by design. argella had machinations and motives that he felt he would never understand, but this one was easy to pluck out. the less leofric knew, no doubt, the better.

𝚂𝚃𝙰𝚃𝚄𝚂 … CLOSED * ◟ : 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚠𝚘, 𝚊𝚛𝚌 𝚘𝚗𝚎. @dvnastics
leofric had never been to casterly rock. he would say the wretched place made his palms sweat, were it not readily explained by the two small hands gripping his like a vice. robert, on his left, protected on his flank by his advisor harkin, blessedly stayed quiet. he was an intelligent boy, and took great pleasure in examining the world hungrily.
dyana was his mirror, for better or for worse. she was yanking his right hand like she would rip it from his body and run off with it in tow. unshakingly, the same questions left her lips over and over since they've left golden tooth. is mother near? we're going to find mother, aren't we?
and leofric had found mother. a smile on her face and sweat binding her hair to her skin, his wife stood proud in a crowd he'd immediately been nervous to cross with both of his children. " harkin. " his voice left a bit colder than he meant. " find where the lady is staying and take the children there, please. " robert dutifully took his advisor's hand, and after some fighting dyana had gone as well. with only himself in danger, leofric would gladly throw himself to any wolf.
still, he stood a healthy distance from her and waited to catch her eye. his breath hitched, and sweat nearly boiled off his skin. leo coughed in a forcible excision of his own thoughts. in the months since he's seen her, she'd gained back some color from the deep winter. he'd swear on the seven, if it came to it, that argella baratheon held no power over him. it'd be a lie, it'd be the first lie he ever told, but he'd swear to it. finding his balance, he bowed. " i hear congratulations are in order, my lady. "

&. backstory. tw: suicide
a second son of golden tooth, leofric busied himself with the sword. by the time he was of age, the rivers and land bordering his father's lands were rendered clear of any wrong-doers. leofric was respected by his men, a small group of soldiers rejected from his father's personal guard that had been with the second son since he was a boy. even at this age, his parents knew what had to be done for their seat of power to be held fast.
it was not until sometime later that leofric's father fell ill. an illness that struck most elders in their family, no doubt. it was said that a letter went out, to inform leofric to rush home, but never made it to the band of soldiers so deep in the wood. the bumbling heir was the only child home to see their father fall. and the child fell in turn, but to their father's blade.
to explain the mind of edwic i and his wife laerna, we have to explain the stark contrast between leofric and his brother. people saw leofric as a swordhand: wild and violent, yes, but honorable in that he kept an oath to the king to protect their land. as such, he was often gone, with only news of his exploits reaching them. the people saw edwic the younger every day, and were worse for it. a drunkard, a gambler, and a man known to have lies pass his golden tongue.
so, on the exact day of his death, edwic murdered his son with the last of his strength. laerna, ever the loving mother, tucked her eldest son into his own bed, and informed the people of their heir taking their own life.
word did not reach leofric until a week later. the advisor to the lord, his advisor now, rode to meet him, and informed him of what transpired. the new lord of golden tooth was met with disgust. they returned immediately, however, as he had a new oath to swear.
two, in fact, as he was greeted upon arrival by his mother, and his newly betrothed. all but sworn through a proxy, it was immediately that he was thrusted into ownership of the keep, and into marriage. it was difficult not to resent it.
