❛ I didn’t want you to fight alone. Or die alone.. ❜ from jaeyi

a scoff leaves her lips, indigo hues narrowing on the other with dark vitriol. “aye i bet you didn’t.” ragna nods along then, skirts dragging along the deck as she paces the length of the iron kiss. of her ship. the vessel she had every intention of sailing with the woman before her as a trusted member of her crew. until she had fled without any hint of an explanation, leaving ragna to come to the conclusion that she had not been worthy of one. jaeyi was not the first to abandon her, and likely would not be the last.

“must have been why you left me to fend for myself, hm? wouldn’t fret over it, more than capable of lookin’ after myself. save the damsel in distress act for the fair lady margaery.” the sea serpent waves a dismissive hand, turning sharply from the other to face her beloved horizon instead. “i’ve loyal men who will always fight by my side, lest you lose sleep over the thought any longer.”

the reach or king's landing?

“oh there is no place in all the world that can triumph the beloved lands of my home in my heart. the reach are a proud people, who sing songs of it’s beauty wherever they go, and yet they dismiss us until they lay eyes on the rolling green fields themselves. the reach is warmth, it is safety and childhood. whether it be the orchards of cider hall, sailing between the shield islands across the sunset sea, or the rose gardens of highgarden, i am at my most happy in my home. king’s landing is great, and the setting to many a noble story, but it is devoid of any true joy, and so it is far too cold to hold a place in my heart.”

Iron Islands or Volantis?

“the iron islands have given me much. a brother, the iron kiss, real proper friends. and yet it’s never given me a home. they’ve taken more than they ever gave. might be that i call the sea home for now, but one day i’ll sail across the narrow sea and look upon those fuckin’ walls. volantis is the place i was born. where i belong, i know that in my heart. i was snatched from the one place i might have fit in.”

loras, willas, or margaery?

“how cruel to ask me to choose between my family. loras is the little brother i have always wished for, and there has never been a greater uncle. willas is the voice of reason in an otherwise… passionate family, and a welcome sense of calm. margaery is the sister i lost, a truest friend in every sense of the word and a kind inspiration to us all. i love them all dearly, they are my family, i couldn’t possibly choose one over the other when each offers me something unique.”

❝ It’s an activity fit only for beasts yet practiced by no kind of beasts. ❞ - Garrick

the lady of spring dons a smile of relief then, chancing a bashful glance to her side so that she might avert her eyes from the violent scenes before them. how she had found herself amongst a mock melee is beyond her, but it is not a situation she feels comfortable in. soft blue hues looking on in horror as warfare is acted out before her. “my father always said that a man’s blood runs hot when battle is almost upon them.” her brows knit together as a pained shout fills the air and cheers erupt from the crowd. though just what this victory proves she is entirely uncertain.

“yet i must confess it seems senseless to me.” leonette turns from the brawl then as the spill of blood only seems to make them rowdier. “to fight for ones survival and others is a noble path. when there is nothing at stake but the chance to settle petty scores i see no reason for it.” though she manages a smile, it is one that does not reach her eyes, and is rather forced to her lips. “it is as you say, my lord. an activity for beasts.”

❝ I do believe you love as well and deeply… as any man. ❞ from jae 😈

a near empty bottle is passed the other’s way after she herself takes a generous sip. her attention instead turned to the distant horizon as she drapes one leg over the edge of the dock, perching her chin on top of her other knee. “not a tricky achievement when men are incapable of such a feelin’.” the sea captain murmurs, the corners of ruby painted lips quirking upward in a wry smile. she had seen the supposed love of a man up close, and it was always an ugly and tainted thing. firmly rooted in lust or possession than anything true and genuine. she had no desire for it. a sigh leaves her lips then, indigo hues hardening for an instant before the look is gone and she’s once more gazing upon her companion.

“might be that i have a shred more ability in me than some bloke… but what’s it matter? s’all a con.” slowly, ragna arches a brow that sheds doubt on any idea jaeyi might have of her capabilities. love was for the fools of songs, not those like them who had seen the world for what it is up close. destructive. “surely your lady margaery told you that?”

❝ I cannot disguise my distress and unhappiness. ❞ from loras

“oh loras…” a gentle hand cups the young boy’s face, sadness etching itself into every line of her expression. it was impossible for her not to take on his heartache for her own, it had become her singular use over the years had it not? an ear to lend, a shoulder to cry on. “you needn’t hide it from me. bring me all your burdens, i will always hear them out.” she could speak no softer than the dulcet tones offered to him now. to see him suffer was painful enough, but to think that he might go through such turmoil alone is almost more than she could bear, and she would not allow for such. not while she lived.

how far back did his problems go, she wondered. did he still shed tears for the late lord renly, a man they did not discuss but for whom loras’ affection had been so obvious to one who saw love so clearly? or did he mourn today for the loss of days past? days where he’d had little to worry over but riding and jousting. it was her husband that was in part the cause for such upset, this she knew for certain. though she longed to repair the cracks between brothers, it was something far beyond the lady of spring’s control. “i know not what to say, only that you deserve to be happy. and that one day you will be, for the gods shine on those brave of heart. and there are few above you that are braver.”

roses or apples?

“now, is this a veiled question? because it’s not very well hidden. roses are very beautiful, and all of the seven kingdoms know that the reach possess the very best, everytime i see a bunch my heart warms with the memories of home they revoke. but cider hall was the place of my childhood, my first home. apples will forever remind me of lazy days in the sun spent with my siblings in our family’s orchards.”
