Location: Fourth day, during the performances and plays
Open to anyone
Ashara was bored and anyone that would pay a little attention to her could see that. Plays and performances were not something she enjoyed, she did not see the appeal in them. Ashara much preferred watching melee tournaments or jousting competitions, anything that involved violence and possible death. Her presence here was necessary and the only reason why she agreed to come was because her father had asked it from her. Ashara would definitely rather be anywhere else, whether it was back home in Pyke or out in the sea aboard her ship. At least there was wine, even though it was far too sweet for her taste. Ashara took a long sip from her goblet, a sighed escaping her lips. "I cannot believe people enjoy this and waste their time watching it." She commented, more to herself than anyone else.

swift tunes upon instruments flow through the grand hall . an act of escapism has been performed as slender fingers coil around the stone of a balcony , shielding the music if ever so gently . auburn locks sway in the wind as sigh escapes red tinted lips . “ even beautiful sounds become straining when played without proper love for it. “ she murmurs mostly to herself , unaware of the approaching company close by . she's been standing alone for some time , tormenting herself with what could've and should've been . she's a daughter of a great man , yet her fingers tremble ever so lightly . it's sickening . ” pull yourself together . ” whispered towards the darkness of the night .

Aldrian had spent a good amount of time speaking with other nobles, engaging in small conversation that in reality, he could not care less about. The wine wasn't so bad so at least he got to enjoy that. Still, there was only enough small talk he could handle, so he ended up seeking a place further away from the crowd in attendance. And that is how he ended up walking out to a balcony, where he came to find none other than his sister. "Well, they are being paid for it, unless we are talking about love for gold, I believe that's all there is." Aldrian walked out to the balcony, coming to stand next to Malora. He took a sip from the goblet of wine in his hand. "Are the performances not to your liking, dear sister?"

BACKGROUND
The night Ashara was born, a huge storm hit the island of Pyke. It brought with it a lot of damage to the island, along with death and there were some who spoke of Ashara's birth as being a bad sign. Some believed that she would be responsible for bringing pain and suffering to the people of the Iron Islands. Well, she certainly brought pain but not to her people, to others. From a young age, it was obvious that Ashara would not be your typical lady. She spent more time in the docks than she did on the castle, she would often be seen among the sailors, learning the Ironborn way. As the Greyjoy heir, nothing less was expected from her. When Ashara was strong enough to pick up a sword, she did without hesitation. She kept training and sparring with the soldiers and learning with the sailors. Along with that, Ashara also spent time with her father, she learned about the political scene, about how it could affect their house and the people of the Iron Islands. Ashara became a captain too, being in charge of her own crew and longship that she named Black Curse, a call back to how everyone thought she was cursed when she was born. She thought she was hilarious for that.

Aldrian was not always your proper lord. Or at least he did not behave in the way that it was expected from him. As a young boy, he often skipped his lessons with the maester and his training sessions with the master of arms. He would spend his time hanging with his friends from court, drinking wine and flirting with the ladies in the court. As he grew older, he started to spend his time between brothels and taverns. It was during this time that Aldrian fathered quite a few bastards, most of them he's not even of. It was a serious conversation with his father and the threat of losing his title that brought Aldrian back to his duties as a lord. Aldrian started to attend the long overdue lessons with the maester and it was during this time that he realized he could use his connections as an advantage to get information. He's very charming and as a way with his words, often managing to manipulate others to get what he wants. He keeps the drunken façade going, knowing that most people would often overlook the drunk looking man in the corner and he takes advantage of that, by observing his surroundings and listening to conversations. He's very loyal to his family and his house and will do what he can to help the Celtigars get back to their former glory.
