Where: The entrance of the Red Keep

Who: Open to anyone arriving in King’s Landing

Rhaegar stood alone, watching as more nobles arrived at the Red Keep. He was dreading it, to be honest, the idea of having to do small talk with these nobles to appear respectful, he was not looking forward to that. Which was why he wasn’t planning on having a lot of interaction with others, planning on keeping to the library or his chambers as much as possible, only coming out when absolutely necessary. He was certain no one would notice his absence anyways. Rhaegar was off to the side, he wasn’t there to receive or welcoming anyone, he was trying to go unnoticed though, although the silver hair and the eye patch were a dead giveaway to his identity, earning a few curious looks from some of the nobles arriving. The footsteps were the first thing he heard when he noticed someone approaching. A small sigh escaped his lips, knowing that he would have to make small talk to a noble who he most likely didn’t even remember the name of.  “Welcome to our beloved capital. I certainly hope you enjoy your stay and our hospitality.”

it had been so long since he'd been here... not since the wedding between his sister and the current king. renly.. grieved. Having known the late queen in life, been fond of her. Holding the hand of his two year old son , he made his way through the streets , taking in the sights the he missed. To think... this might have been all his-- the baratheon royal blood running through his veins. But he'd never want it.... he wanted a peaceful life. Turning the corner , his son left his hand and ran off into another person. "Robert!" He called after him , running after. "I'm so sorry!"

Where: The entrance of the Red Keep

Who: Open to anyone

Rhaegar stood alone, watching as more nobles arrived at the Red Keep. Even though he already had his fair share of conversations with some of the nobles, he quickly got tired of listening to the same rehearsed speech over and over again. He did not need strangers telling him how good of a king his brother was going to be, when most of them had never even met him. He was here for his brother, so he wouldn’t have to greet all these people by himself. Rhaegar was standing right next to the main entrance, nodding his head as people walked in. Of course, the sight of him might not be the most pleasant thing to first see when they arrive in the capital, but they would have to deal with it. Rhaegar noticed the stares, the whispers among the ladies whenever they walked past him, but he ignored them, having gotten used to it by now. “Welcome to our beloved capital. I certainly hope you enjoy your stay and our hospitality.” He offered a small smile to the person who had approached him.

Where: Training Grounds

Who: Open to anyone 

Daemon went to the training grounds, wanting to get some sparring done. He didn’t like sparring with anyone other than his crew or the Ironborn, knowing that most would go easy on him because of his title. The Ironborn wouldn’t go easy on him, they would go hard as if they were facing an actual enemy on the battlefield. Daemon believed that was the proper way to train, your enemies wouldn’t go easy on you during battle. Plus, this was how Daemon came to be as strong and respected as he was among the Ironborn. After sparring for some time, under the watchful eyes of the soldiers and others who were taking advantage of the morning breeze to train, the prince noticed the lady standing on the sidelines, watching them train. Daemon called a break, walking up closer to the person, his bones were hurting and he knew he was going to have a hard time moving later but he didn’t care. “Well, are you here to join or just to enjoy the view?” He asked with a smirk.

Where: A Random Tavern 

Who: Open to anyone

Loqqo had been sitting on one of the tables in the far end of tavern, listening to stories that a few nobles were telling the smallfolk. It seemed like they were trying to impress them for some reason, he wondered if some of those stories were even real to begin with, he doubted it, judging by the way they looked. Loqqo looked towards the door when a new face entered the tavern. Loqqo stood up and made his way over to the counter, before ordering himself another fill. “I did not know you could find such good entertainment in these taverns. I’m quite entertained by the stories these nobles are telling.”

Where: The Gardens

Who: Open to anyone

Nymor was tired of speaking with the other nobles. He had been told that he was supposed to engage in some conversations, make his presence known so he didn’t come off as rude, but as soon as they learned he was a bastard, the tone of the conversation shifted. He would get judgmental looks and most would stop talking to him altogether. He decided to take a break from the whole thing and went out into the gardens, hoping to find a moment of peace. When he heard footsteps approaching, he took a seat on one of the benches. “Hello, are you taking a break from the crowd as well?” He asked, turning around to face the person with a smile. “It can be a little too much.”

Where: The Red Keep

Who: Open to anyone

Jeremy was currently patrolling the corridors of the Red Keep. With so many people coming into the capital for the coronation, they all had to be extra careful, keep a much more watchful eye, mostly inside the Red Keep and around the royal family. It was their job not only to protect the future king but also to protect the rest of the family. So Jeremy walked through the corridors, looking left and right trying to spot any sort of weird activity but everything so far seemed to be normal. Jeremy spotted the person from a distance and walked up to him. “My lord/lady, I hope you’re having a good stay in the capital. Is there anything I can help you with? Are you lost? I know the Red Keep can get a bit confusing at first, all the corridors look the same.”
