Lilliyan

Half sister of Bronn of The Blackwater [Indie OC GOT character]

[caelmewedd]

"I'm going to talk to her anyway." Aramil replied, knowing that he should have disciplined Aevon a bit by now. She could run for adventures but should do so in moderation. He knew that his daughter was impetuous, but sometimes he was beginning to get the impression that it was downright morbid overactivity.

"And Nevermore is the most peaceful dragon in the land. She won't hurt you, but if you want I'll ask Aevon to let her go into the forest." Aramil added, squatting on the sofa.

[lilliyxn]

"I am sure that I was like that at her age. Not so much with a dragon but always trying to find adventures of some kind." Lilliyan told him. She knew what he meant though. He wanted his daughter to be safe and he was clearly a better father than her father had been. "I can already tell you are a great father."

Lilliyan listened to him and shook her head. "No. You don't have to ask her to do that. As you say, she is peaceful. Its just a surprise when I haven't really seen a dragon before. I've heard about them but not actually seen or heard one until today." She said as she sipped her drink.

[caelmewedd]

"You're welcome, once again." Aramil replied, listening to his daughter's dragoness fly away. He knew he would have to talk to his daughter to put the brakes on her craziness a bit, at least while Lilliyan was here. He didn't want the pregnant woman to be exposed to stress and some strange situations.

"Yes, this is my daughter, Aevon." The mage added quietly, a tad embarrassed by his daughter's behavior. "And yes, what you heard was her dragoness, Nevermore. She's a nice creature and won't hurt you, but I'll still talk to Aevon so she won't bother you."

[lilliyxn]

When Aramil mentioned about his daughter and how he would talk to her about this, she shook her head. "It is really okay. I can't say I have been around dragons before. But they are nothing compared to what I have been around." Lilliyan told him.

Okay, dragons could be dangerous, she knew that. But the people she had been around, had been just as dangerous. And it was saying something if she was saying she would rather be around dragons, or one at least.

[caelmewedd]

Aramil silently began to roost in the kitchen and prepare tea for Lilliyan. As quickly as possible, he poured water into a kettle, added green tea leaves and ginger to it and put it on the fire. He then prepared a tray, teapot, cup as well as a plate with oatmeal cookies. When everything was almost ready Aramil heard a dragon fly over the house, he knew it was Nevermore, his daughter's dragoness. Doubtless Aevon had returned from her ride for a little snack, he just hoped his daughter wouldn't frighten the pregnant woman.

When the tea was ready, Aramil poured the tea into a teapot and into a cup, took the tray and returned with it to the living room, where Lilliyan was sitting on the couch.

"Please, enjoy your treat." Aramil said, watching as his little daughter ran into the house, after a brief 'hi dad.' she ran into the kitchen took a snack and ran out the back door to continue the dragon ride.

[lilliyxn]

As she sat there, waiting and thinking about her journey here and also her brother, she heard what she guessed was a dragon. Of course she hadn't actually seen a dragon before. Not in her lifetime anyway. It didn't scare her, it was more that she had been taken by surprise.

Lilliyan looked over as Aramil came into the room where she was. She smiled at him. He really hadn't had to do this for her. He had never met her before. And she knew that anyone probably would have not even helped her.

"Thank you." She said to him as she picked up her drink. She looked up when the young girl, who she guessed was his daughter, rushed in to get a snack and then ran back out. She looked at him. "I guess that is something I have to get used to, kind of." She laughed a little before taking a sip of her drink.

[caelmewedd]

"It's no problem if you stay at my house for a while. At least until your brother is found." Aramil replied as they approached his house, which was quite a large estate. He led his mare through the gate into the courtyard, then stopped her and helped Lilliyan off the saddle. He then led her into the house, where his wife and son were in the kitchen and where his little daughter Aevon should also be, but judging by the calmness inside, she was nowhere to be found. Aramil was sure that his daughter was either running around the forest with her tiger, Rajah, or flying on her dragoness, Nevermore.

With a deep sigh, he led the pregnant woman into the living room and encouraged her to sit down.

"Please make yourself comfortable, I'll bring you some warm tea right away," he said. Aramil said, then went to the kitchen.

[lilliyxn]

Lilliyan looked at him. "It isn't like he is lost. He just left home quite some time ago and I know it would be safer with him rather than where I had been. I just have no idea where to find him. He could be anywhere." She said to him. Lilliyan looked around once they got there and let him help her off the saddle. She then followed Aramil into the house. She had to admit she felt out of place. Especially with a family she had never met before.

Hearing Aramil, she looked at him and nodded. "Thank you." She said as she sat down. She glanced around as he went to do this. Her mind went to her brother. How was she going to find him?

[caelmewedd]

"Follow me then. You'll be safe in my house and you'll be able to get a decent rest." Aramil replied after which he led her to where he had left his mare tied to a wooden post, after which he took her and put her in the saddle, grabbed the reins and led the mare out of town toward a nearby mansion.

"What were you doing alone in town anyway?" Aramil asked while calmly leading the mare along a nicely trodden forest path. When they reached the lake, the mage knew it wouldn't be long until they reached the destination.

[lilliyxn]

Lilliyan followed him. "Thank you." She said. She was so grateful for this. Who knew how much further she would have had to go to find somewhere to stay. And even then would it be somewhere she could get a decent rest. Seeing the mare, she hadn't thought about getting on a horse. Especially since she was pregnant, so she was glad for his help. She then let him take her to wherever his house was.

She was looking around at her surroundings when she heard him ask her what she was doing around here. "I....I'm looking for my brother. He left home quite a while ago and with myself now soon to be a mother, I wasn't going to hang around there much longer so I left and...here I am."

[caelmewedd]

"You're welcome." Aramil replied after which he took a moment to think about what to do next. He believed the woman and her unborn child were fine because he sensed nothing alarming. He didn't want to be pushy, but he knew that the woman shouldn't walk alone in the neighborhood, because the fact that she was lucky once and got out of her predicament unscathed, the next time she might not be so lucky especially since she could run into some bandit or some drunkard who could hurt her worse.

"Do you need anything else?" Aramil asked, hoping he wouldn't have to rescue her from a worse oppression. "If you don't want to go to the clinic then at least you can rest at my home. You shouldn't be wandering around town in this state."

[lilliyxn]

Lilliyan didn't feel safe being out and about around here, but with everything she had grown up around, she was used to so much. The thing is, it wasn't just her she had to talk about now. She had her two unborn children to think about as well. Lilliyan needed to find somewhere to stay. She didn't even know the place that well to know where would be the best place.

Hearing him, Lilliyan looked back at him. "Do you know of anywhere I can stay?" She asked. "I don't know this place at all." She added. When she asked about resting at his home, she looked surprised. "I can't expect that of you." She said.

[caelmewedd]

"I am a mage and a healer." Aramil replied, expecting such a response from the woman. The people of Westeros, while interesting in many ways, and while they were aware of the presence of magic in their world, reacted differently to it when they experienced it firsthand. Some admired it and some cursed it. This particular woman reacted rather positively despite her amazement. He hoped she would accept his offer, because he would feel bad leaving her alone, pregnant, on the street.

"How do you feel now?" Aramil asked, looking at her closely but she seemed fine. "Is everything okay with the baby?"

[lilliyxn]

Lilliyan listened to him. She had heard about them but she hadn't really came across any where she had come from. That wasn't to say that there weren't any there. As much as she was shocked abut what had just happened, she was grateful. "Thank you." She said.

She looked at him and nodded. "Better than I was before I met you." Lilliyan told Aramil. "Although still a bit shaken. That was more to do with what happened for me to get hurt rather than then injury itself." She said. "I think so. They seem fine."

[caelmewedd]

Aramil looked curiously at the pregnant woman, who looked like she was about to faint, and was surprised that she was walking so completely alone. What if someone attacked her, or poked or pushed her to the ground? After all, it could have ended tragically, although he suspected that this woman was exactly the same in character as his wife, Rosalyn, who was also reckless in nature and prone to unnecessary risks. He took a closer look and noticed blood oozing from her wound, which she was busily covering with her hand. He sighed and decided to do something about it.

"Come on, show it to me." Aramil replied and summoned his magic, which manifested with a golden, warm light after which he touched her wound with his fingers, which immediately began to heal. After a while it was all over and the wound was completely gone. The only thing left was the blood on her clothes. "It looks like you're okay now, but please come with me. I'll take a close look at you at my clinic."

[lilliyxn]

Lilliyan was taken by surprise when she heard someones voice. It wasn't often that someone she didn't know was nice to her. She was always weary when they were because they could just be acting like that and suddenly turn. She looked at him, clearly weary.

It wasn't like she would get far in this state anyway. If she didn't let him held, she would only get so far before passing out somewhere. She made her way over to him and before she had a chance to ask who he was, she had healed her. Lilliyan stared at where the wound had been and then looked back at him. "What did you just do?" She asked. She nodded though at the mention of the clinic.

[lilliyxn]

Lilliyan hadn’t seen her brother for years. Growing up had been pretty tough for her, and she was pretty sure it had been for him too. He was her older half-brother, but to her, he was just as much a full brother. She had been getting on with life where she was brought up and now she just wanted to be away from there. She wanted to get out of there and do something with her life. Something she was sure her brother had done as well. She had no idea. He was just a sellsword the last time she had seen him. She had arrived somewhere, although she wasn’t sure where she was. But she had ended up getting stopped by some people. Being quick, she managed to get away, but not before getting wounded by one of them. She carried on going, covering the wound which slowed her down. She was more worried about her unborn child than herself at this point.  It got to the point that she couldn’t carry on. She was pretty close to passing out. It didn’t help she didn’t know anyone around here. Or at least she didn't think she did

     Sansa tried to be friendly, but not obtrusive. Many men had died or been lost in the wars; she wouldn’t pry into where the father of the young woman’s baby was. “Are you hoping for a boy, or a girl?” She asked instead, an unobtrusive question. Sansa had hoped to have children one day, as many as she could. Now, she didn’t think it was likely to be her choice. Eventually, Tyrion would need to get a child on her, though she prayed the day wasn’t for years to come. 

Lilliyan wouldn’t have been surprised if Sansa had asked. But she was glad that she didn’t ask. She didn’t want to talk about the father anyway. Hearing her ask what she was hoping for, she shook her head. “I don’t mind. As long as he or she is healthy, I don’t mind at all.” She told her. She placed her hand on her stomach as she felt a kick and then looked back at her. She was going to ask her about children but she decided against it. It seemed like she wasn’t ready for that.

[lilliyxn]

damselledove​:

     Sansa glanced at the other woman’s swollen belly, a smile lighting up her face. She had always adored children; when her mother had first had Rickon, Sansa had been the first to hold him. She had doted on her youngest brother, pretending that he was her own baby. He looked like he could have been, with red curls and blue eyes that matched her own.

     “When are you due?” She asked merrily.

Lilliyan noticed her looking and smiled. She wanted to ask about her family but then she also didn’t because she wasn’t sure if that was a subject that Sansa wouldn’t want to talk about. So she decided against it. She heard Sansa’s question. “Oh, about 10 weeks time, although you would think sooner than that.” Lilliyan said. What Lilliyan didn’t know was that it was twins she was expecting and not just one as she assumed.

[lilliyxn]

“The Red Keep is always busy.” Sansa told her. “There’s always something going on. Training, dancing, different dinners. I swear, someone is always in the gardens having tea, another by the water playing in the waves.”

It was a nice place, Bronn’s keep. Simple architecture lent a comfortable feeling to the grounds. “What do you like to do here?”

“I have been told that by Bronn.“ She said. Lilliyan wasn’t sure if she would want to be there. She was used to it not being so busy where she had been before coming here. “It doesn’t really surprise me. It is how I imagined it would be.“ She added.

Hearing Sansa ask her what she liked to do here, she glanced around before looking back at her. “I like to go for walks, as well as talk to others around here.” She said. “And then getting stuff ready for this little one when they arrive.” Lilliyan told her.

[lilliyxn]

damselledove​:

“There is nothing more important than family. I am glad that you and your brother are able to be together.” Sansa smiled and walked alongside the other woman, taking in her surroundings as they walked. It had become habit to memorize the layout of the places she and Tyrion visited, making sure to know what was where in case she ever needed to know. 

“You are not missing anything, truly. The Red Keep is always busy, people everywhere. It is much nicer here, much more peaceful.”

“I agree with that. Well, the only family I really have now is Bronn so I am glad that I came here and found him.“ She told her. Lilliyan showed her around. She noticed her taking in her surroundings. It was exactly what she had been doing when she first got here. 

Hearing what she said, Lilliyan looked back at her. “Really? Well, I think I will stay here then. I have grown up around things being busy. I actually prefer it to be peaceful like it is here. I want that for my little one as well.”

[lilliyxn]

damselledove​:

     “ It’s nice to meet you, Lilly. How do you know Lord Bronn? “ She glanced over at the men, then back again. “ I have never been here before, could I trouble you for a tour? “ Sansa smiled, doing her best to be friendly. It took a lot of work these days to surpass the numbness that filled her, but she did her best. 

     It was a little different here, outside of the Red Keep. There were less eyes on them, so Sansa felt less like she was being suffocated. A cool breeze blew through the air, the slight scent of the sea trailing with it. 

When Sansa asked her how she knew Bronn, she realized that no one really knew. “I’m his sister. Half sister, but we are more like actual brother and sister.” Lilliyan told her. When she asked about a tour, she nodded. “Of course. We can do that while they are busy discussing whatever they are discussing.” She said.

Lilliyan walked alongside her as they walked out of the room that they were in. “I am sure that this makes quite a change from what you are used to at the Red Keep.” She said. “I can’t really say I have been around there. I am not sure if that is because Bronn wants to keep me safe here.” 

[lilliyxn]

damselledove​:

     Marriage was not so excited, nor nearly as terrifying as Sansa had been expecting. Mostly, Tyrion ignored her, leaving her be to pursue other ventures. Nobody came into their shared chambers, so Sansa had a new, unexpected safe place to stay. They took meals together, and would sometimes walk the gardens, but otherwise not much was asked of her. So when her husband had asked her to join him on a visit to his friend, she had agreed readily.

     Sansa had met Bronn a few times, Podrick a few times more than him, but she knew very little about either. She had dressed in one of her simpler gowns, a pink fluttery thing that reminded her of a more conservative version of something that Margaery would wear. The carriage was quiet on the way to Bronn’s home, Tyrion clearly deep in thought, so she occupied herself with gazing out the window, watching the streets slipping by.

     By the time they arrived, her legs ached and she was ready for fresh air out of the litter. By the time she had maneuvered her way out, Tyrion and Bronn were enthusiastically talking, so she looked to the only other person around. “ Hello, I’m Sansa. “

Lilliyan had been married but she just couldn’t be around her husband anymore and that was why she was here now. As for as she could tell from what she knew about Tyrion and Sansa from Bronn, things were going okay for them. 

She could have meet some of Bronn’s friends before now but for one reason or another, she hadn’t. That was why she was anxious now. She was just wearing a red gown, that kind of hid her growing bump, but also not quite. One of a few gowns that she had since she arrived here. Lilliyan just got on with things as they waited for their arrival.

Lillyan was looking over at Bronn and Tyrion as they chatted. As she looked away, she noticed Sansa making her way over. She walked over to meet her. “Hello.” She said. “Its nice to meet you, Sansa. I’m Lilliyan. But you can call me Lilly”

[lilliyxn]

When Lilliyan had left where she had grown up to come looking for her brother, she thought it would take ages to find him. Well, half brother but as far as she was concerned, he was her brother. No matter what. Okay, so it had taken her a little while to find him but not as long as she had expected it to. And she was very glad about that. 

It hadn’t been the easiest journey to find him. She had reached King’s Landing and got stopped by some guards. Those guards hadn’t been the nicest and with some wounds, she had got away from them. That was when she had found Bronn. Of course he hadn’t recognized her. It had been many years but finally they were reunited. And she got to tell him about his upcoming role as uncle.

That had been a little while ago and she was staying with Bronn. He wasn’t going to have it any other way no matter what she said. Of course he was going to be protective. Being his little sister and the fact she was carrying his niece or nephew. She had to admit she was anxious today. Bronn had said that they would have some visitors today. She hadn’t really met anyone else since she got here.

“Don’t you have any friends?” - Starter meme

Lilliyan looked over the person she didn't even know was there until she had heard his voice. "Yes. I do." She told him. "I might be new around here, but I have friends elsewhere." Lilliyan said. "Why do you ask?"
