"If I shield you, I betray everything I stand for."
a collection of morally complex prompts.
the expression on aerion's face is a vicious thing, lips curled up into a toothy smile that was anything but humourous. eyes wide in that way so often attributed to targaryen madness, he laughs. slow, acidic.
“ and what is it you stand for, hm ? if not me, not our name. ” he presses closer, fingers tapping an agitated rhythm against the sword sheathed at his hip. he won't admit it, but something like betrayal itches under his skin, the indignation of it. his family. his family. and they wouldn't choose him ?
( once upon a time he'd cling to the hem of daeron's clothes, eager for his time, his attention. they were brothers, once )
all he can do with the pressure in his chest is lash out.
“ no. it is rare you can ever stand at all, isn't it, lēkia ? ”

❝are we all so different, truly? ❞ he offers, soft are the words, murmured low in the early morning thrum of the camp. he sits contently on the hill overlooking the multi-coloured tents that litter the tourney grounds. it is quiet now, but soon the sun will rise, as will knights and servants. in a matter of hours the grounds will become a hub of activity once more. but, for now, it is almost peaceful ...
❝burdened by titles, responsibilities, the legacies and the wrongdoings of our fathers and forefathers … ❞

I WANT THAT FAIRYTALE . . . ( accepting ! ) ✴︎ — @dreamplagued
THE LIQUID SEEPING INTO HER CLOTHES MADE HER JUMP SLIGHTLY.
It was not uncommon to be at a place she should never set foot in; but who would Ayldri be if not for the habit of wandering in places she had no reason to be in? ( Least all of damn tavern ).
Her mind had been entirely elsewhere, lost in thought about something that had lost all meaning now that she was more bothered by the fact the strong, rich scent overcrowded her senses more than anything. The alcohol dripped on the edge of the table & for a moment she was simply frozen, staring at the mess that happened.
Ayldri wasn't the type to make a big deal out of things, she would've honestly rather hid away than remain seated but when she looked up while in the process of speaking, the words died out & amber eyes widened.
Oh the irony. . .
“Daeron—why are you here?” A question she had no right to be asking considering the fact she, too, had no business being here. The Dornish princess cared little for the wine that ruined her clothing; not like it was anything special, just articles that could easily be replaced when she wasn't too caught up on the fact the Targaryen prince was here & well . . . not at the Ashford Tournament.
Her tone was hushed as if anyone would recognize either of them, the two of them cast aside by the very society their families surrounded themselves with.
For once, it felt nice to not have judgmental eyes watching her every move, but then there was the possibility of someone sent to watch either of them while hiding behind commoners clothes, just as the both of them seemed to be.
“And why do you look as if you've been through hell and back itself...?”
