status: closed starter for @eclipt1cs (for ah-rin) setting: journey to king's landing

Since they were children, Yerin knew that silences did not bode well. It meant Ah-rin was plotting, she could see the wheels turning. In times past, the older Harlaw would have had more energy to play this game, lure the truth out and shake her head, knowing that cautionary words would go in one ear and out the other. There was a weariness that settled into her bones these past months, a weight she only allowed those closest to witness. This would be a long arduous task, toppling all the greyjoys have built through the generations, by the time they'd arrive in King's Landing, Yerin would be prepared for a cold war. She just couldn't risk disruptions and challenge, and her sisters, gods help her, were always a challenge.

"I can hear your thinking from across the room. Come on, then. Out with it."

"Cousin."  Myranda  turns  on  the  balcony,  the  brief  moment  of  fear  then  hidden  under  ice  blue  and  silver,  as  one  would  hide  something  under  a  cover.  She  was,  as  ever,  a  magician  hiding  true  emotion  under  what  was  expected  of  her.  "The  warmth  was...  A  tad  overwhelming.  I  thought  to  escape,  but  so  early  in  the  evening  may  be  noticed.  Once  more  of  those  cups  are  empty,  perhaps."
