Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āĀ you are?Ā Ā āĀ vaera raises her brows at her northern friend. the words come out with a touch of excited relief as, in truth, so is she. āĀ what for? the lady lannister?Ā Ā ā the incident had stamped itself onto the backs of the seahorse's eyelids. it seemed as if it was all she could think about and she somewhat selfishly hoped she was not alone.

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā aemond knew well enough that the man before him was more king than father. he could not truly fault him for that ā it is who he is and his position calls for it. aemond had accepted that long ago. hands are held neatly behind his back with shoulders straight as the spare approaches his father-king. āĀ i enjoyed my time as expected. a grand occasion indeed, though it seems some were rather eager to be hidden in the revelry.Ā Ā ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā vaera found herself drifting into an unfocused haze, contemplating what the lannisters may be feeling as their heir to the rock is no more. she had seen her tumble over the balcony's railing ā given it was just the last moment, she had no idea who the woman was until the announcement ā nevertheless, she saw lives being changed forever. the velaryon is shocked out of her melancholy when another noble approached her. standing from her seat to greet them, āĀ yes, of course. is something the matter?Ā Ā ā

the red viper didn't like confinement, it was never a strong suit of his resting on his laurels. a resting viper meant a ready one. ready to strike and defend what was his. the murder of one of the lions had caused quite a stir and in return, he and his family were forced to stay in a city and land that was not his own. as if subject to the silver-haired king -- and he was not. so the annoyance of the king of snakes was -- evident. even as he lounged under the awning of the gazebo watching his daughter play - chasing her colorful winged pet; that annoyance lay behind his dark gaze before a smile masked it. as he greets the newcomer intruding on his father-daughter time. " she was getting restless," he calls in greeting his eyes back on nymeria, " - she misses her pets and toys back home. the garden seems to have tempered her for the moment." he says turning his gaze towards their new companion as a servant fills his cup with dronish wine, " have you come seeking solitude or are you looking for a distractions?"
āĀ it is a quite complicated topic. i am more than happy with how my arrangement turned out, though it is not lost on me that there are plenty who suffer because of them. it's true they can be advantageous, but i suppose it is on the mind of the arranger if power is worth the potential outcomes.Ā Ā ā

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" ARWYN asked the noble in front of her. She had only stepped out for a few moments, hoping to refresh herself from the stale air of the ballroom. That was one thing she could not adjust herself too, even after over twenty years of being queen. "Has something gone amiss?" She asked. Their face was contorted in such a way, revealing their concern, that the queen could not help but feel a twinge of anxiety.
COLOR: primarily navy blue with black accents on the webbing of his wings, near his jaw, and along his spine
EYES: steel gray, like looking right into a storm cloud
TEMPERAMENT: just a not ā so ā little guy. frequent nap taker. kinda grumbly. has met aemond's children ( not rhaena yet, but *aemond vc* soon! ) and greets them with the softest chuffs he can manage. very attached to aemond, when he was still small they shared a cradle. looks intimidating, but is mostly introverted. can get pretty volatile when threatened though as he is still a whole ass dragon.
BACKGROUND
aemond always knew what his position in the world meant. merely a second son, alive simply as a backup in case something were to happen to the true heir. still, that didn't mean he had room to slack off ā and he didn't want to. ever the diligent student, aemond worked hard in all of his lessons : history, sword fighting, even learning both high valyrian as well as some low valyrian dialects. he never wanted to be seen as the throwaway prince.
when aemond was betrothed to the then lady daella tyrell, he was just a boy. reluctant at first as anyone his age would be, but with years came budding amorous feelings. as a man, aemond figured if he could not have the throne, he could have his family.
the spare prince has never been one to brood over his status. if anything, it makes him want to be better. besides, isolation just isn't his way ā in fact, he hates being alone. aemond much prefers to charm a litany of nobles across the realm rather than sit and mope over a fate sealed in fire.
vaera was always strong willed ever since girlhood. a bit of a terror ā it's true ā though she never failed to attend her lessons with the septa. when she agreed to something, she always followed through.
once her mother, the late lady cella, became ill, vaera was always finding excuses to be by her side. she was practically her little shadow. watching her beloved mother slowly become more and more fragile as the years progressed crushed vaera, yet at the same time she refused to believe anything was truly wrong.
when her eldest sister, laena, was married off to the heir of the iron throne, vaera was proud. her sister as the next queen of westeros ā how could she not be excited ? however, not long after her darling sister's wedding, that feeling soon wore off.
the death of the velaryon matriarch took a toll on the entire family. vaera fell into a deep state of melancholy. she felt like her whole world came to a halt. she knew her mother was sick, of course, but she never figured death was an option. then went laena. grief had consumed house velaryon and shrouded vaera in a fog of pain.
now, she forces a visage of strength for her father and remaining sisters. attempting to return to her old self, but still she finds that some days all she can do is sit on the shoreline and weep for all they have lost.
