๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐:ย ย [ quick witted as she is regal ]
Her parents taught her from a very young age to respect everyone who steps foot in your home. Offer them bread and salt when they arrive in the Great Hall. This is the family that her motherโs family supported through the Rebellion. Many of House Branfield paid the ultimate price.ย Now it is she who represents her House with her mother gone But House Forrester needs all of the allies they can get. If they can secure alliances by promise of supplying these Houses with Ironwood, they will be protected from all sides.ย She arrives to greet him with a gift: a blackened shield crafted from their livelihood. With a smile, she returns the bow courteously.ย
โPrince Aegon. Welcome to Ironrath.โ Her tone is the epitome of a leader, learning from her ancestors and familyโs mistakes and still learning every day. She hopes he is joking as his tone says otherwise. Yet it is his eyes that she reads. They are sincere, from what she can tell. She has seen insincerity, liars, murderers. Brown and sincere. A comforting sign. โI shall address you however you desire.โ The last time they had met had been a pleasant encounter, and all Talia can do is hope this visit is just as well as that visit.ย
Her head shoots up at the sound of the beast flying overhead, scales transforming from green to golden in the sun before disappearing into the clouds. The dragon is huge and terrifying and yet, Talia is in awe, the corners of her mouth turning upward to smile in amazement. For the slight moment she has seen him, she concludes that his dragon is beautiful. Returning her gaze to him, she is reminded of her task at hand.ย
โThank you. Our holdfast is built with Ironwood, respectively. Indestructible, impenetrable to anything other that Valyrian steel. Resistant to any normal flame. It is only those with Forrester blood who can ignite it. Now part of Ironrath is yours. I present to you an Ironwood shield made by our finest craftsmen. โ A reminder of your stay.โย
