ROBIN / clippedwingsx·.
A sickly little boy, Robin had barely seen anything past the moon door of the Eyrie. Even his time in King’s Landing was spent confined to his own chambers, often having to settle with games with his mother.
If only they had been the only games she were playing.
Now a LORD OF THE VALE, it was pass time Robin Arryn got to acquaint himself with the lands he was responsible for. Yet, even that task seemed daunting with the people of the east torn between their rightful Lord and the idea of Harry the Heir; a man who bore more of the physical and seemingly internal characteristics of House Arryn. A dispute that was covertly planted by Lord Baelish when he was alive, now an enemy to those who stood beside Robin and his claim.
Tully eyes bore an exasperated expression which was not uncommon the day after a leeching. His maester had insisted to it however, after the shakes he had the day before on their journey to Strongsong; missing the view of the lakes upon his arrival and approaching the stronghold on horseback because he was asleep in the carriage recovering.
Not exactly the impression he hoped to bestow.
“I wish to see more of it,” he answered a little too quickly but honestly as the topic caught his attention. He straightened from his slouch ( and when realizing it, was glad Lady Royce wasn’t around to scold him for it ) and continued to muse on the topic. “Especially the lakes. I’ve never seen open water before, other than Blackwater Bay… from my window.” There was a slight hesitation by the end, unaccustomed to speaking so freely about his endeavors. But Yohn Royce trusted the family and assured the Lord he should feel free to do so, especially when considering their circumstance.
she’ listens carefully, drinking up the conversation like her father does wine. she is glad for the variation in conversation, books were the only variation in people she got to experience most of the time, and books weren’t exactly very talkative. it’s perhaps the reason she enjoys events like this so much, when someone comes to visit, when people are invited, and there is celebration, and welcoming, and music. she hesitates only for a moment, trying to remember what the plans for the visit were, whether her father had already arranged for someone to show lord arryn around strongsong, as far as she knew, he hadn’t.
❛ i’ve never seen blackwater bay myself, but i’m told it’s quite a beautiful sight. i was planning on taking a walk down to the lakes today, you are more than welcome to accompany me, it’s not too far, just through the gardens. perhaps you could tell me how it compares to blackwater bay. ❜ well, that was the point closest to the castle, where the water split into two. she knows it well, she’s spent much time swimming there. ❛ there isn’t much too see outside the castle besides the gardens and lakes, but there’s plenty inside. i favour the music room and library myself. ❜ she omits that the reason why is because those are the few places in the castle she can find some quiet, where she’s undisturbed, and can rest for a time without prying eyes and questions she doesn’t want to answer.
she wonders if there is much point hiding her own illness around robin arryn. part of her thinks it would be insulting, especially when she has heard from her own family that the man is not entirely healthy himself. so she decides in that moment that while perhaps it is best not to let the full extent show, guarding it tightly is a worthless endeavour, and one that would likely reinforce any doubts about house belmore being untrustworthy.
she knows all too well how some view her father, knows that the women within this castle are perhaps looked on more favourably, and she can see it from their perspective, a noble man taking money with no clear purpose besides personal gain. he was too proud, too concerned how it would affect her, too conscious of how sick women were viewed to explain to anyone unaware of her condition that he had used the money for maesters to try and cure her. it was perhaps one of the reasons her father refused to support harry, he knew that sickly people are more than their appearance. plus, he didn’t seem to like harry much anyway, judging by the way he spoke of the man.

THE MEANEST DOG YOU’LL EVER MEET, it ain’t the hound dog in the street, he bares some teeth that tear some skin, but darling that’s the worst of him. the dog you REALLY have to dread is the one that howls inside your head, it’s him whose howling drives men mad, and a mind to its undoing. YOU’VE GOT A LONESOME ROAD TO WALK, and it ain’t along the railroad track, it ain’t along the black topped tar you’ve walked a HUNDRED times before. i’ll tell you where the real road lies: between your ears, behind your eyes, that is the path to paradise, and likewise the road to ruin. ©
JON / princesncw·.
jon had a teasing laugh almost escaping from his lips. he wasn’t ready to stop torturing the woman with questions. the man shrugged. “i just wanted to know, my lady.” he allowed a small smile. “since it’s too late and dark for a lady to leave her room.”
❛ says who? ❜ she fires back quickly, offering a small smile of her own in return, after all, she does enjoy a good back and forth. ❛ besides, i doubt anything here could scare me. ❜ perhaps an exaggeration, but not entirely untrue.
dorne, it’s a beautiful place. she’s never been before now, and she wishes she was here for something else, this was a last effort from her father, a man clawing at the desperation to heal his daughter, without realising how it was making her feel. she knew it wouldn’t work, wouldn’t allow herself to hope that this maester could help, she knew if she did all it would result in is being pulled back to that place in her mind that tells her she is broken. but she is not broken, and she is grateful that here, they do not stare when she stumbles, when hand has to grip railing tight, or if they do, they hide it well. she feels almost normal here.
she has a moment to herself here, allowed to bask in silence, and sunlight, though it makes her head burn from the inside out, and eyes ache, she thinks it is worth it for the view, so she sits, legs dangling in the water for some relief from the way she feels as though she may sweat her skin off. she’s been this way since she got sick, freezing cold at the slightest chill, boiling in even slightly warm weather. she’s used to it by now.
she raises a hand to shield her eyes from the glare of the sun as she hears footsteps approach, though she doesn’t rise, if she tries, she knows it will likely result in her knees failing her, and she hopes he doesn’t mind. ❛ lord oberyn! it’s nice to see you, i’m sorry i wasn’t present for lunch today, i thought i’d enjoy some of the views instead. ❜ well, that and she knew her father would bring up something to do with politics, and she’s didn’t quite feel up to sitting through that today. ✨ @viperspear / LIKED FOR A STARTER !

THE BELMORES.
sigil: six bells on a purple background. words: “louder than bells”. lord: benedar belmore. seat: castle strongsong, the vale.
HEADCANONS.
within the belmore family, it is tradition that the women wear ear cuffs that represent the things they are known for or traits they possess and value highly. for example, on her left ear, at the tip Lily wears a bird ear cuff as she is often called a songbird, and underneath wears a vine one, as she would bring the sick and injured flowers while helping care for them during the war to bring some brightness to the room, and on her right wears a frog ear cuff, to represent her love and kindness towards all creatures. these ear cuffs are regarded as highly important to belmore women, and as a result they almost always wear their hair in a way that leaves their ears visible.
the belmore’s firmly believe the servants make the house, and as such they see no shame in helping in the kitchens or stables when extra help is needed, alongside providing training from their best employees to younger people looking for work on the promise they will join the household eventually.
belmore men are raised to listen to the women around them when they are unsure, and while women are still not seen as equals, they are always treated with respect as it is believed they can sometimes offer wisdom men cannot, though the advice of other men is preferred where available and appropriate.
belmore’s often favour nature tones within their clothes, very rarely seen in anything else.
those who reside in castle strongsong learn to swim from a very young age, as the castle is surrounded by large lakes. however, they are terrible sailors.
castle strongsong itself features a tower with a bell, rung when under attack.
unlike many houses, house belmore does not look down on common folk intensely, often offering shelter to travelers, and treating those they meet with kindness.
the ladies of house belmore are far more popular with the subjects of the vale than the lord, this is due to the fact that people remember when benedar was considered corrupt and able to be bought, though there are those that know it was due to his daughters illness, that the money he took was used to bring maesters to the castle to try and cure his child. this was until the war came to the vale, and lily showed her father that she was happy as she was, sick or healthy.
JON / princesncw·.
“oh … all right then.” jon had his arms crossed, tilting his head to the side. “may i ask who gave you such permission?”
damn. she takes a beat to think of an answer. ❛ may i ask why you need to know? ❜ her tone isn’t unkind, more playful, hoping that maybe he’ll drop the subject.
she’s never met robin arryn personally, after all, travelling took a toll on her, so while occasionally her mother and cousin would attend tourneys and political events with her father, she herself has never attended an event when she encountered the lord of the vale, but she has heard stories, after all, her uncle marwyn had served as captain of the guards for a time. but she prefers to judge people in person, after all, stories can be twisted. people referred to her as a frail yet kind songbird, and little more, but she likes to think there is much more to her story, so while she has seen some within castle strongsong offer no more than the required politeness, she offers a warm smile as she takes a seat opposite the lord.
after all, she’ll have to get to know him at some point, so why not take advantage of his time here? she knows soon he’ll be continuing his formal tour of the vale, and hopes they part with some kind of friendship, at the very least. ❛ lord arryn, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. i trust you’re enjoying your time here at strongsong? ❜ some didn’t, found the surrounding lakes rather intimidating, and the atmosphere within the castle too easygoing. many lords and ladies held a tight grip on their seats, with servants unseen and unheard, but she was glad there is almost always something to do within her home, glad she was allowed the freedom to spend time with her cousin in the gardens, singing and braiding flowers into the other girls hair, that within house belmore there was no shame in being seen helping cooks in the kitchen, in considering those that served them friends of some kind. she wonders if the eyrie possesses the kind of warmth she feels here. ✨ @clippedwingsx / LIGHTLY PLOTTED STARTER !
