𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐍. It was a sweet prospect made all the sweeter by the impossibility of it. One shall always yearn the deepest for what is to forever remain out of reach—Such is human nature, it would seem. Even the stories he has spent long hours reading in the candlelight would feature such tales that the young prince found so riveting, if only because they all REFLECTED his own longing. And he sees that same ACHE in the wolf maid's eyes. There is not an inkling of doubt that their very souls are kindred in it, and it's thus why FATE brought them together.
The return of the inquiry is initially met with a response that earns her a small, saddened smile. Rhaegar's own marriage to Elia was arranged, but there is GRATITUDE for the kind of woman the princess is. They respect one another, trust each other, and that alone is far more than many such unions of convenience have ever known. In time, mayhaps, the FONDNESS harbored for the Martell might grow. Would it be the same for Lyanna and her own betrothed?
❝ You certainly deserve more than that. ❞ The Targaryen agrees, following her along the tree with his gaze and attentively listening to the rest of her words—Which does coax a low, half chuckle from the prince. ❝ Now that is a song worthy of you. ❞ Would that he could've announced the truth of the Knight of the Laughing Tree, so that all might know of the she-wolf's BRAVERY. But the world they are a part of would only see her punished for her defiance. It's then that the man approaches her side, body moving on its own accord, as if it were UNABLE of keeping too wide a distance between them.
❝ At least I was able of gifting you that much. ❞ Rhaegar admits, even if it pales in comparison to the truth of he deeds that shall remain a secret only between them. However, such thought was not unwelcome—To know they share something that is only THEIRS. ❝ Does it not displease you? To know that everyone will remember you as the wolf maid who stole the dragon's heart? ❞
᯽⊱ @ulvblod gets a little treat
ㅤㅤㅤTHERE IS NO HARM IN FRIENDLY COMPETITION, OR SO THEY HAD AGREED. They are both warriors, trading tricks as their swords dance playfully, metal singing into the air with each clash of blunted steel. Him, a seasoned warrior, a prince trained by the finest in the land, and her, with the spirit of a true knight, defying the expectations placed upon her for being a woman. Lyanna is a beauty, so fair that even the crown of winter roses he'd given her pales in comparison to the woman herself, yet there is iron in her wild spirit. He understands Robert Baratheon now, for how could any man come in contact with that fire within her and not crave to be near it again?
ㅤㅤㅤHe has her beaten this round, or so he thinks, sword held across her throat as he stands at her back. ❝ Yield, my lady. This round is mine. ❞ It's a courtly mercy, the opportunity for an honorable surrender, but she yields not. Instead those eyes of iron peer over her shoulder, his gaze enraptured by them, more so with how he feels her hot breaths as they wisp against his neck. This is his undoing. She must have noticed him falter, felt how his sword began to slip away, for with a single spin she reverses their circumstances, her blade now poking into his side. Now it is Rhaegar who must yield, and he does so with a wide grin. ❝ Fine, I yield to you. But I had you first. ❞
ㅤㅤㅤHe barely hears the taunts that follow, focused on the teasing fingers that press under his jaw, how close she stands to him as she gloats in her victory over the prince. Mocking him, taunting him, yet all he can think of is how beautiful she looks like this, that spirit of hers shining in her eyes and in her words. Rhaegar watches her lips, sees how they move, how plush they look as she speaks. What madness is this that overcomes him, he wonders, as he leans to press his own lips upon those soft, taunting features. Oh, she's bound to kill him for this, but there are worse ways to die. ❝ I'm sorry. I couldn't help it, ❞ the prince whispers, barely able to pull away. Already he braces for a strike, or for her to yell at him, some rebuke against what he's done. ❝ Do you hate me for it? For ruining this? ❞

You're still looking. - for robert
sensual and sexual tension quotes / accepting ! / @ulvblod
robert cannot help the amused snort that sounds from him, his gaze finally finding her own. he was not ashamed of being caught staring. it was no secret that robert longed for the woman before him. in fact, he had made his affections undoubtedly clear. " what of it ? " he approaches her now and stops only when they are a few inches apart from one another. there was something about her that he could not place ; that made her stand apart from the rest. he toys idly with the ends of her hair before a hand is placed upon her waist. without wasting another moment, he pulls her body flush against his own. " is beauty not to be admired ? "
"Men shall fall and gods be forgotten."
* ALL SHE IS AND EVER WILL BE IS MORTAL ; hazel hues dart at the other before taking a tumble of a roll. the rustic of the green fades into darkness as small feet break branches on the rough surface. a lanturn rests in her hand while she feels the metal grow hot. his statement has a history of truth that runs in many graves and ruins, but her stubborness rises in her chest. " man has outlived gods and prayer and when men die their children take over as will mine. " she says simply while continuing to light the way. " no god has done me any favors like man has. “ hazel hues form to the other a smug look forms on pale features - finally she spoke some truth. ( a. sentence starters / ft. @ulvblod )
A steady job was a big step but Laura enjoyed it greatly, finding herself more at peace when she didn’t have to think of her problems alone constantly and was instead distracted by work and reading if she had the time for it. After a while the exhaustion began to wear off as she enjoyed her time at work greatly and sometimes going home seemed more of a task than her duties at work, because she knew once she made it home she’d again be alone in complete silence.
So she made it to work as early as she could and stalled leaving if she could but she remained subtle so she wouldn’t reveal the great dislike of leaving to the owner, the worst thing that could happen is that he found her desire to stick around distasteful and fired her although he seemed incredibly kind and caring which only did push her into deeper lies in the end. Her worries were not his.
Like any other day her time of arrival had been spot on and before the shop was opened she made the usual round of making sure the place was clean and the books were in order, they should though as she does the exact same things before leaving. She was so deep in her routine she couldn’t even tell herself whether she seemed obsessive or not, for good impression’s sake she hoped not. Once everything was in order Laura made a pot of tea and grabbed a mugful for herself before looking into the tasks of the day. It was usually the same, keeping track of books, putting new ones in to the shelves and waiting for customers. If no one came around she used the spare time for reading. With her pace she could go through three to six books a week, given she was in the mood to be able to focus as it was a challenge occasionally.
She hadn’t come across Vald yet, it could be she was too deep in her thoughts and passed by like a blind-deaf or he wasn’t there yet. And that thought alone stole her focus from the book in front of her. She liked him, he’d seemed a little cautious at first but he was sweet and helpful, it made the work environment very inviting and almost addictive. Maybe he was one of the reasons she wanted to come to work so badly, she liked the company. Compared to him the handsome hero of the book was nothing, why have a reckless adventurer when you could be with someone calm and funny? It was far fetched though, Laura didn’t want to act any different around him as in her opinion it seemed inappropriate, so for now it seemed best to stick with the product of imagination written on the bound paper in front of her.
