° / AEMON TARGARYEN .
“ ELAENA. ” A WARM SMILE WASHED away the seriousness that had overtaken his expression. there were few people who he delighted seeing as much as his family. papers were set aside without a second thought as his full attention was given to his sister. “ it’s good to see you as well. ” aemon wouldn’t have replied honestly had anyone else asked elaena’s question, but around his sisters, aemon felt he was able to simply be a man and not a king. there was no need for family to play a role around each other. his expression was open and the rigidness in his shoulders melted away. “ i’ve been holding up as best as i can. the events of the feast were unexpected to say the least and things now seem on shaky ground. but i know it will only get more difficult once the culprit is cost. ” the only way it wouldn’t would be if the murder hd simply been a drunken brawl that ended badly. however, aemon’s gut told him that wasn’t the case.
❛ UNDERSTANDABLY, YES . ❜ adjusting her position, elaena took a relaxed seat on a chaise a small distance away, though whilst still maintaining a proper composure. when the news of the murder had been announced at the feast, elaena’s first instinct was purely concern for her siblings, though mostly for her older brother. who else would be a rogue attacker’s main target? she was content to see him well & healthy, although she knew deep within that while the culprit was still out there, there was still a threat posed to their safety, to aemon’s safety. the princess heaved a heavy sigh, ❛ i pray that there is nothing more in store for us. ❜ a false hope, elaena knew. she granted the king a small glance, her expression calm, yet inquisitive. ❛ i noticed that although there were witnesses who have many different accounts, you have failed to place blame on any house that was seen there — hightower, martell .. stark.❜ her mild distate for the northern house was evident in her tone and expression as a grimace washed over her and she spoke their name with vile on her tongue. although he was more cautious on pointing fingers, elaena felt her brother ought to look into those accusations ; all three of them couldn’t entirely be false. and the fact that the killer was still not caught gave even more reason to look into those houses. but her desired words caught in her throat and instead she forced a smile, nodding towards him. ❛ it’s wise, what any noble king would do. i admire that. ❜
