❝ me? ❞ a reasonable inquiry, but were it not for the ice constantly coating the stark's demeanor, he might've laughed. head shook. ❝ i have no intentions of putting my name forward. my place is in the north. ❞ there was only one dragon that might one day convince him otherwise.
" i don't believe anything was meant by that, " lysen says as the inquirer retreats awkwardly. they couldn't see their brother as being in a position anywhere other than the north, though perhaps they were being selfish in the thought. " do you think you know who it will be ? " they have their own guesses, but the truth of the matter is that they don't care enough to voice them, not when the only thing they really want to ask is when are they returning home.
announcing the arrival of ARIYA of house SUNGLASS, the LORD of SWEETPORT SOUND. whispers among the court name them to be both CHARMING and FACETIOUS in disposition, and those closest to them speak to their interests in music. if we bards could compose a song for them, it might tell stories of whispers trading secrets in the still dark, sun bleached sheet music passed down through generations, a patchwork cloak that clashes terribly with every outfit. the seven whisper to their most devout queen as she sleeps, making her question where their loyalties truly lie. are they right to whisper? for their loyalties truly lie with THE TARGARYENS.

narrative...
ariya does not know of his origin and doesn't find it important to know. as far as he is concerned, he is a sunglass regardless of the blood that pumps in his veins, and that's what truly matters. being the third eldest in seven children has given him a bit of a complex, though, a striving to be seen and showered with love and affection, no matter where or who he gets it from.
his talent in music was obvious early on, though he wasn't given proper training until well into his teens. ariya had an affinity for all instruments, including his own voice, though he rarely sings these days. he is skilled in the flute, fiddle, harp, lute, and reed pipes. ariya's preference is for the harp, both for the skill required and sounds it produces. he has a custom made high harp with gorgeous detailing that he would start wars over.
nosy as fuck & a gossiper to the max. while he lacks real political inclinations, he invented fomo and must be included in everything. no secret is ever safe with him -- please keep tight lips when ariya is in earshot. will trade secrets for literally anything. makes up rumors and spreads lies for fun. anything and everything he says should be taken with many grains of salt. has a habit of instigating fights but disappearing before it can be traced back to him as the origin. makes promises he'll never keep. genuinely does care for his family. doesn't really want power but enjoys the illusion/idea of it.
# wanted connections.
benefactor: the one person that ariya feels genuinely indebted to because they funded his passions / gave him the opportunity to be where he is now / saw his skill before it was properly known to even himself.
ex(es) that he's screwed over. there are many. details of how / why can be discussed but tbh he just wanted drama and fun :(
someone that played an ariya on him and he's the one that accidentally caught feelings womp womp sucks to be him! + TAKEN !
announcing the arrival of LYSEN of house STARK, the LIEGE of WINTERFELL. whispers among the court name them to be both UNCOMPLAINING and RESENTFUL in disposition, and those closest to them speak to their interests in reading. if we bards could compose a song for them, it might tell stories of a flicker of direwolf eyes in the frozen north - a reminder of loyalty that forever binds them to their pack, a single blooming white rose pressed between the pages of a leather bound book, the faint scent of woodsmoke and pine lingering on their heavy cloak. the seven whisper to their most devout queen as she sleeps, making her question where their loyalties truly lie. are they right to whisper? for their loyalties truly lie with HOUSE STARK.

narrative...
they rarely asked how they came into possession of the starks — if they simply ignored it entirely, they could pretend they belonged as the rest did. lady leona, however, would tell them a grand story of lysen, barely a toddler, stranded beside human remains and hugging a direwolf pup found by a hunting party. despite lysen's inclinations for fiction, they found it difficult to believe tall tales when it came to themself. they stopped asking soon, and lady leona stopped speaking of it.
lysen always favored books to blades, but nevertheless practiced and sparred as required. while they seemed competent with a sword, they didn't often escape unharmed. lysen saw little point in using a wooden sword when real battle used steel. practice should reflect reality, even if it meant blood stained snow crunching under their boots.
their reserved and reclusive disposition affords them the gift of observation and insight. they weren't allowed to sit in during what was labeled important, but that didn't mean they wouldn't find a way to linger a moment longer beside a cracked open door. they are adept at sneaking around and eavesdropping, learning about things they have no business knowing. rarely do they ever use what they know for action, instead filing secrets away for when it is necessary.
lysen is desperate to be needed, to be useful. they feel as if they are wasting everyone else's time and taking up space if they aren't doing something. they're capable of being a good advisor or strategist, and will occasionally offer insights along those lines but only if asked / if absolutely necessary. they fear stepping out of line as much as they do being seen as unneeded.
# wanted connections.
sparring partner / childhood friend: self explanatory... this person is definitely better at swordfighting than lysen but they've been friends regardless. probably also extroverted? we love u extroverted/introverted friendships...
someone who sees lysen as a capable strategist perhaps... only issue here is that while lysen is very smart i am Not. womp womp
indulge me in a missed romantic connection will you... there were sparks but they never amounted to anything because #reasons (probably because lysen is anxious-avoidant)
idk if u don't like lysen's siblings lysen immediately has beef with you
