@neithergodsnormen:
ashara feels her heart flutter at the mention of his gentle eyes. “AND WHO DOESN’T LOVE A MAN WHO IS SHY, YET HONORABLE. HE DOESN’T SEEM LIKE ONE WHO’S AFFECTION WILL STRAY ONCE IT HAS BEEN EARNED.” unlike his friend, the lord baratheon. “THAT THERE ARE, BUT HIS AFFECTION… I WOULD NOT EVER TURN AWAY.”
it does sound rather romantic when her friend puts it like that. the stark boy does hold himself in such a way, despite the order of his birth. kind eyes, and although he does smile and laugh with his friends, there is something rather serious about him. "truly," she agrees, her fingers tucking into the crux of ashara's elbow, even if shaena's own inclinations did lean towards the golden hero type. "you know that i want only for your happiness."
