intro / interactions
ERIK LANNISTER ( unchartedfates: )
erik had not been around emotion in a very long time. he was sure the last time he felt, even a little, emotion was the day his father died. the memory was a hazy one, the edges of it morphing between bright colors and black. he had been at his father’s side, his hands at his sides as he looked down to the elder lannister. he remembered thinking he should be sad, but how could one be sad when the pebble in their shoe was finally going to be deposited. those thought had glee running through his veins, his fingers having to claw to contain the feelings of it all. it wasn’t until the elder had taken their last breath that erik let out a breath of his own. it day had finally come, and erik had never felt more alive. he had turned from his father’s bedside, and never looked back. there had been no tears, only erik wiping away a fake tear at the funeral. and now seeing the princess laying down openly weeping made erik uncomfortable. should he wipe away the tears? try and give her words of soliace? or stay silent? erik had no idea which was the better choice. he was so deep into those question, he did not even think to make a note of the dissapoint she spoke about. what was happening to the starks? was their foundation falling apart?
“you are being dramatic,” erik finally said, letting out a sigh of relief seeing his shirt soaking up less and less blood. “you have not dissapointed anyone. it is not has if you went to the ball in the hopes someone would stab you, you had no idea about the events of the night.” his eyes flicked up to the face of amelira before he stood himself, needing to stretch his back and legs. “no one is dying, espcially not you. the bleeding has stopped.”
at her words erik nodded. no one needed to see him shirtless, or her in such a state. he bent down, scooped the princess into his arms and down the hall erik started, his steps gentle as he tried not to move her too much. “i am no healer, but i do believe you still make a full recovery. the wound did not look too deep. the blood made it seem worst than it was.” or at least erik hoped, he did not need a stark princess dying on his count.
there had been no hesitation in her expressed reaction, a brow raised towards the lannister lord, but she could say nothing to him at the moment. the injury alone had been enough for her to be taken aback and left speechless, let alone him calling her dramatic for the disappointment she felt her family would have for her. she had not fully believed the lannister’s somewhat comforting words, words that said she would live, for what honesty did he give her in their previous conversations?
it was not until she was in his arms, deep breaths inhaled and exhaled to calm herself down even if it were the smallest amount of calm she could suffice for the moment. ❝ i would like for you to know, lord lannister, that i am not dramatic, ❞ her tone still weakened as she spoke, but her arms gripped tighter around his neck, holding onto him as if she might have fallen from his arms. but there it had been, the same lord she had spoken to only hours prior, the egotistical lord with such an attitude to beheld.
she was still unsure of how true his words were, but it had been a common theme that the stark princess did not believe the words of another, unless it were her siblings or father. even then she had learned to take their words with just a grain of salt, and not more than what met the eye. ❝ i do not take you for a healer, but i will not allow your help to go unnoticed. ❞ and it was only truthful from amelira. many had passed her as she lay on the ground, wanting to only help themselves to get away from the attackers. just as she had been trying to do. ❝ unless that will only cause your ego to grow, then perhaps i will allow your assistance to go unnoticed. ❞ and even with the overwhelming pain that she had felt, the dizziness that went to her head with every swift movement, she would continue to weakly bite back at the lion.
AILYA FREY ( qcyqoyi: )
closed starter for amelira stark / @wintcrfxll
in the days since the attack, king’s landing was in a state of panic but aiyla got her wish, she did not have to return home to the twins yet. seeing the princess in the gardens brought a smilrk to the lady’s lips, easing into a friendlier smile as she picked up her daughter and walked over. of course amelira was heavily guarded with many ladies at her side should she need help but as the two hit it off earlier in the ball, she was allowed through and took a seat. ❝ i’m glad to see you out and about, princess. i wanted to introduce you to my daughter, dilan. ❞ after giving a shy wave, the young girl slid under the table to play with her doll on her own, leaving aiyla with some time with the princess. ❝ how are you feeling? ❞
ever since the attack, the injuries that the stark princess took, her guards had been at their most secure. more being brought to her presence to do even the simplest of things. despite the fact that she had felt so closed in, she could not defy her father’s requests. there was a smile that curved weakly onto her lips as she saw the lady approaching her. harriet laid next to her, her hand petting the wolf gently as to calm the pup from being startled by the presence of another. ❝ lady frey, it is such an honor to meet lady dilan, ❞ amelira waved back to the young girl, her smile growing wider. she had always had a soft spot for children, wishing for her own someday soon. or perhaps her siblings would beat her to it. ❝ i am feeling quite well. after all, i am a wolf, i am not as weak as some might think i am. ❞ she remarked, eyes glancing down to her wolf before looking back to the lady before her. ❝ those of your house are well, yes? ❞
HARRION STARK ( wnterreign: )
his arms immediately wrapped around her, utterly relieved that she was alright. he hardly noticed nor cared how the hug made his own wound’s pain increase. the maester had assured him that amelira would heal, but it was only now that he saw her, alive and standing, with his own eyes that his worries quieted. ❝ don’t cry, lira. ❞ neither of his sisters could do anything wrong in his eyes. they had always been far better in near every regard than he. ❝ what happened wasn’t your fault. ❞ harry had plenty of rage for the woman who was responsible for his sister’s wound, but now wan’t the time for anger. not when his needed her big brother. ❝ and all that matters is that you are alive. ❞
the words of her brother had pulled some of the weight of the burden she felt off of her shoulders, but she could not help but to feel that it had been purely her own fault. ❝ i just cannot shake the feeling that i have disappointed you, or even father. ❞ a heavy sigh followed her words, a hand going to wipe what tears fell onto her cheeks away. ❝ alexia, is she okay as well? and ravella? i have not had the chance to check on them, but the maesters say that they are both well. ❞ and amelira had chosen not to believe them, or not at least until she was able to see them for herself.
ALYS KARSTARK ( ruinovs: )
smile firm on her lips as the stark spoke, alys inclined her head in acknowledgment. had she been around for the end of the draconidis she may have felt differently about the state of the starks, but the seeds had been sowed long ago, growing steadily even if alys had not wished for them to. “ oh ? did you find a nobleman to waltz you into the night ? ” she asked, smile growing wider and dimpling her cheeks. much of her time had been on the outskirts of the ball, watching over torrhen and once he had been ready to retire, she had as well. many things had been missed during the ball, and any kernels of information no matter how small interested her. “ it is then even more unfortunate for the attack to have happened. i can not recall the last that you mentioned a nobleman of any sort. is he handsome ? ”
❝ it was more that i found a nobleman to carry my injured self to safety. ❞ the princess had not much to speak of, other than the lannister lord that aided her after being struck by the sword of a greyjoy. she’d never been one for gossip or talking much of herself, and if the pain hadn’t struck her side with slight movements and laughter, she would have been able to offer the lady a laugh. ❝ because most noblemen tend to strike a nerve with me, i can only listen to their own self-interest for so long before i grow bored, ❞ amelira rolled her eyes at the very thought. ❝ is he handsome? yes. but his ego far outweighs that. ❞
RICKARD KARSTARK ( encirclet: )
when faced with princess amelira , he can see why his house had sacrificed so much of their own for the starks . there was a loyalty to the wolves that lived deep within him , stirred by her injured condition . rickard simply nods in response , and he matches her feeble smile with one of his own until hers falls , upon which he is grateful for the chance to wipe the hint of fabricated happiness off of his features . “ you have no reason to be upset with yourself , your highness . if your family expects you to defend yourself , they should arm you . you should be armed . along with princess alexia and harrion’s wife . king’s landing is not winterfell . ” he means this in earnest , for even as his house’s long standing relationship with the starks begins to rift ever so slightly , he cannot bear the thought of women he had seen grow up slain in southern combat . as it is , amelira forced to resort to help from a southern lord leaves a bitter taste on his tongue . “ the grejoys are heedless folk . ” rickard notes , crossing his arms over his chest . the word that kaelys greyjoy had been the one to incapacitate amelira had descended upon the red keep like a blizzard unforeseen , for even rickard had not been successful in avoiding the gossip .
she could only imagine how the houses surrounding house stark viewed them now. weak and defenseless, two princesses and a prince unable to protect themselves and dealing with the consequences. regardless of the support that was given from the northerner’s that passed through, she could not help but to think it was all just driven by a guilt that they might have felt. ❝ i am trained with a sword, though that training is quite useless being unarmed. perhaps my father will see that for the future, my sister, ravella, and i are armed when need be, ❞ she could not have agreed more with the lord, even if perhaps her injuries would have been the same regardless of having a sword on her or not. ❝ as much as my family would, i’m sure, like to retaliate against them, we are to keep the peace. i am not usually an vengeful woman, but my dearest cousin has riled me up quite a bit. ❞ she could not help but to think that if the roles had been reversed, if the greyjoys would have broken the peace already.
MELINA HIGHTOWER ( qcyqoyi: )
❝ i base my assumptions on other’s actions and all i have to go off of are your actions from last night. you could not even pretend to be happy about our engagement. do you blame me for my hesitation? ❞ she wanted this as little as he did but she tried her best to at least be respectful in the presence of others. ❝ an elaborate plan?, ❞ she asks, breathing out a laugh. ❝ i guess only time will tell. ❞ there’s some cheekiness in her tone, an obvious joke as it isn’t common for melina to ever think with malice. entering back into the holdfast, mel let’s her arm fall from blade’s, stopping once in a more secluded hall. ❝ did your brother ask you to come see me?, ❞ she asks rather bluntly. he could very well lie but he didn’t seem to be good at it so melina decided to take her chances, wondering if this was just another instance of her being handled.
❝ i can only say that those are fair assumptions then, lady melina, ❞ the lannister held back another eye roll, as he had not thought of himself to be that terrible of a person. ❝ i do not pretend, pretending is child’s play, but i suppose it is wrong to assume that everyone truly sees eye to eye with another. ❞ blade had not been exactly sure what brought him to pursue conversation with his betrothed, whether it be guilt or boredom, or the option that the lion would choose to not acknowledge; concern showed for another person. his face immediately falling from the smug expression that was seemingly glued to his face at the mention of his brother. ❝ my brother? lady hightower, i’m flattered that you think i would obey anything that my brother commands me. ❞
BETHA TULLY ( vicletfxre: )
Betha snorts at the statement. Barring the rare exception, the south was filled with cowards, and they could easily point to a few houses within the riverlands that had been easily willing to go along with such schemes in the past. “The southern nobility will be the biggest suspects. The snakes responsible will have already slithered their way back to their dens, to plan their next move.” She bristles at even the name of the ruling house of the Iron Islands, and even more so at the words of her eldest brother and ruling lord. “My lord brother states that the matter is to be left to our uncle, and Uncle Tylon isn’t about to go to war with the Islands and be the one to officially break 200 years of peace.” Though they knew that any words they said to their uncle now would be stubbornly ignored. If one asked them, the Greyjoys had already declared war when Kaelys Greyjoy stabbed Amelira. Didn’t matter the circumstances, a move had been made and blood drawn. In Betha Tully’s eyes, the peace had ended at that moment. “I’ve no doubt of that. Only fools refuse what honor demands.”
❝ i am a southerner, lady tully. it would be horrid for me to speak ill of any southern house, ❞ the now northern women joked, a snort-like laugh coming from the lady. it had been one of milah’s favorite topics, but there had been snakes have buried themselves within the safety of their egos from house to house, whether it had been a northern or southern one. ❝ i have no doubt that the king stark will make a decision that benefits both his house and the kingdom. and he will have the support of house bolton without hesitation, ❞ she could not imagine the wrath that they had felt, but the tully lady’s tone had expressed it without ease. ❝ we are surrounded by nothing but fools. so i would not be in shock if honor lacks. ❞
BRANDON REED ( qcyqoyi: )
❝ nothing yet, my lady, ❞ bran responds to the lady bolton. of course, he’s not really surprised that she is questioning others, her interest in whispers prominent since they first met when she became a lady of the north. ❝ house reed was lucky and hopefully bolton and velaryon were as well. ❞ he would be polite, she was a northerner now, but that was as far as he went with one from a house so close to the targaryens.
her view towards bran was nothing short of dislike. her attempts in getting through to the north’s master of whispers failing only leading her to that view. she would remain respectful of the northern born lord, to prove her point that she was anything but a threat, regardless of how true that had been. ❝ as were both houses, bolton and velaryon. those of house stark face a very different fate of our houses. and i may not be a true northern born, lord bran, but i value those of house stark as i would if i were. ❞
RANIDA FOWLER ( qcyqoyi: )
as one of the many amongst those complaining, ranida lets out a breathy laugh, nodding in agreement. ❝ we are. ❞ restless was just one of the many things ranida was feeling. ❝ even more horrible because now we can not leave. ❞ maybe should have tried to seem more remorseful since people did lose loved ones, but it didn’t seem as though the other lady was too broken up either.
❝ and what a wonderful idea it is for us to be trapped here. there are more destructive nobles than some would like to admit, ❞ though, milah hadn’t felt unsafe, the lady trained and knowledgeable in defending herself. but she was one of the nobles that one could have considered destructive, the lady bolton was well adept to hiding it. ❝ it would have been much safer to allow us back to our respective homes, so the complaints are very well-founded. ❞
SHARRA ARRYN ( ruinovs: )
the arryn narrowly resisted the urge to roll her eyes, speculations and gossip of no interest to her. unless there were true facts presented, she had been ignoring much of the chatter around her, annoyed that the worst fears from most had been realized. “ i have not been listening, ” sharra answered honestly. the only thing she had inquired about were her friends a nd their families, the news that many of the starks had gotten hurt in the fray keeping her in a foul mood. “ how, when no one knows who they are ? ” she snipped, though it had nothing to do with milah and only the situation at hand. “ my family is fine, though there are too many others that are not to rest easy. ”
❝ perhaps it is better not to listen, ❞ milah mused, her annoyance at lack of insight and information from a vast amount of people expanding and was enough to make her laugh to herself. but it was best not to waste time on lies and rumors that would not aid in getting anywhere. ❝ some cannot run forever, but i do believe that they will receive what is coming for them with time. ❞ it was all a lie, that was never how anything would play out in the end and milah knew that. ❝ we can only protect so many. it is too late to look back on those who suffer. ❞
LALE TYRELL ( fallencrxwns: )
Lale turns slightly, her own gaze had been lost in the nothingness that was ahead of her, a blank wall of the balcony were many ladies sat mingling, hoping for pieces of gossip that would aid them put the puzzle together. “not anything this room has not shared already in circles, i assure you.” not that she would every share had she indeed had any knowledge. “it will be their only faith, i am certain,” she lies, but she does it quite well, she doubted they would ever find a real culprit, perhaps a scape goat at best, that was if the kingdoms did not happened to turn on each other before that. “the sentiments are return, lady bolton.”
❝ heedless gossip is of no help, a guessing game that only leads to rumors and no truth, ❞ her eyes glancing over the ladies that sat about. she had wished for more than the very surface of gossip, perhaps wanting to find some truth, if not about the attack, then something that was of importance and enough to leave quite a shock. needless to say, the lady bolton felt she was left unsatisfied. ❝ if they are never to be captured, i am sure the gods will be just and take care of them. with the ways of recent events, i am rather sure that whoever was responsible will be somewhere laughing at the rest of us, waiting to strike again. ❞
KAELYS GREYJOY ( ruinovs: )
location : king’s landing
closed starter for : @wintcrfxll
with their first mate by their side, the aftermath of the ball had not been as trying as kaelys had suspected it would be. of course, she knew that the stark king had been furious, kae’s nonchalant reaction no doubt bringing more ire to a situation that their parents now had to at least pretend to give heed to. given that three of the stark children had had some unfortunnace happen to them, she wanted to point out their uselessness as a whole, but instead was in search of one of their family members. “ it is not that big of a place, ” she was murmuring aloud, glancing over at the sight of another.
she had been walking along, her maesters allowing her only a short leisurely walk, having convinced them that it would aid in her healing. amelira had been frozen in place the moment she had seen the greyjoy, the last she had seen them was with their sword piercing into her side. it was only when the words of her father rang within her mind, that she could not retaliate in whatever way she wanted, her expression shifted to a poker face. to ignore the greyjoy would have been her better choice, but the stark princess found herself having difficulties turning the other cheek. ❝ princess kaelys, ❞ the only two words that she could formulate beyond wanting to scream.
RAVELLA STARK ( fallencrxwns: )
The crown princess had never been one to entangle in whispers or gossip, specially in this subject she figured she aught to remind as steady and silent as a pillar while giving reassuring words. the king had said it would give her practice for when her time came, to take care of all of their people. “there is nothing to be known at the moment i am afraid, although all four kingdoms are investigating as much as possible.” she crosses her arms over her chest, she knows lady bolton’s harshness in her tone is founded. “by the old gods i am certain they will, lady bolton.” she nods. although brutality has never been something she would condone, this would have to be an exception. “we fair well, my husband had an injury but he shall recover well if the gods allow.”
perhaps the crown princess was not the correct person to be trying to pry gossip from, for she would one day be the queen of the north. if the southern turned northern woman went any further, she would not risk ruining anything that united house bolton and house stark. ❝ i do not mean to pry, your grace. the flame has only been ignited by unnecessary violence. i am glad to hear that as much as possible is being done, ❞ the lady bolton offered a smile to the crown princess. ❝ i am happy to know that house stark have been well. if the need be, i would be more than happy to lend a helping hand. i may not be northern born, but i am northern at heart. ❞
ERIK LANNISTER ( unchartedfates: )
erik tried to think back to a time where gore and blood had happened in front of his eyes. the thoughts went to the years of training with a sword, knives and arrows. but those had all been in good fun (for the most part) and not of actual malice. his eyes searched for a the source of the blood, while his mind went tried to think (shocking) of what to do when he found the source of the trauma.
his fingers searched, as his eyes stayed on the face of amelira. he was nervous she would somehow bleed out before he could help her, and stop the bleeding. finally his fingers seemed to find the source of the bleeding. he pressed pressure to the source, and blood seemed to be stopping but the streams coming out between his fingers caused him alarm. he looked over his shoulder but the hallway was somehow still quiet, except that of amelira’s breathing. his panic was starting to rise in his throat. the lord was used to being able to scream and yell until something happened. now it was up to him, and for the first time in his life erik felt helpless. finally he couldn’t take it, he rose and angrily pulled the fabric of his shirt over his head and pressed it into the wound, hoping something good would happen.
“you need to think of yourself right now,” erik finally got out, remembering that she had said something. but he wasn’t able to keep the role of his eyes to happen. “what good do you think you are to them or yourself right now? do you wish to die in front of them? add more trauma to their lives?”
her eyes attempting to stay focused on the lannister lord, to keep herself from being consumed by the panic that was altered by erik’s expressions and the pain that was now coming in waves much stronger than before. a hand reached forward as she watched him move, thinking that she was now to be left alone, for someone else to help her. her few interactions she had with the lannister had only influenced her to think in such a way, that he would not be so selfless to help in her dire situation. she allowed her hand to fall back to her side, wincing when the fabric came into contact with her wound. she did not want to think of herself, it was terrifying to do so. the princess was frightened of what the outcome might be. and she had thought it to be selfish to worry for herself and not for her family. ❝ that is my family, and i must know that they are safe. ❞ though her voice was weak, amelira made an attempt at defining her words, she was annoyed that he would even say such a thing. ❝ they will already be disappointed in me, i have failed myself and my family. my guards have failed me and my family. i wanted to escape, but now i don’t even know if i will see the morning. ❞ and with her words came tears, tears for her brothers and her sister, that she was unable to help herself or her siblings.
but the very thought had also brought some of her strength back to her. the pain had not subsided, nor did her head feel less heavy, but she did not want to feel helpless any longer. she did not want to feel at risk for another attack, now having another life at risk beside her. ❝ help me up, ❞ the soft voice demanded. ❝ an empty room, something other than out in the open. ❞
RICKARD KARSTARK ( encirclet: )
perhaps the stark princess is a particularly caring person , as selfless as the model lady . but with a lack of sleep written across her features that matches his own , and her current condition , rickard can’t help but wonder if she asks after his house for political reasons or personal ones . “ it wasn’t any trouble . ” he dismisses her appreciation with an embarrassed wave of his hand , shuffling out of the way of a maester as they bustled past , likely inundated with work after the previous night’s events . “ no , none of us were harmed . ” he shakes his head , gratitude obvious in the set of his face . “ however , i regret that so many of house stark were . your guards seem to have failed you , your highness . as have your bannermen . ” he judges himself as well as the starks’ royal guard , blame placed evenly on both ends of balanced scales . it’s not forgiveness that he seeks , but simply her point of view . he’s curious as to who she sees as responsible for her injuries , so he throws himself into the line of fire in hopes of an answer .
the maesters that surrounded her and were at her constant attention caused her to roll her eyes. she had felt somewhat fine, so to the northern princess, it was overwhelming and overworking of the maesters. her exhaustion had gotten the best of her, her eyes drooping as she looked at the lord karstark. ❝ it is always great company when it is one from the north. do not brush it off as it is nothing, lord karstark, ❞ she offers a weak smile to him. her face fell, the mention of her guards who have failed her. she felt she had failed her family, but also could not imagine the fire that was lit within her father’s heart upon receiving the news of her injury. ❝ i do not remember much from last night, just that the ruling lord of casterly rock was kind enough to step aside to assist me. i am upset with myself, but i can only imagine how upset my father might be. the events have come in waves, not ones that i remember very easily. ❞
MELINA HIGHTOWER ( qcyqoyi: )
melina’s head turns when someone appears beside her and she fights an eye roll in case anyone is looking. instead, she hooks her arm into blade’s, giving him a smile despite the glare into his eyes. ❝ lord lannister. ❞ she hides her annoyance with playfulness, making a mental not to scold him about her name later. if not for a similar visit from his brother, melina would be surprised that blade was even pretending to care. he did not do a very good job of pretending last night. why now, all of a sudden? ❝ i survived both, thanks to you. or was your protection to make up for your drunken complaining? ❞ though she sounds to be teasing, her own words get stuck in her head. it was the only plausible reason, after all.
not that he had much time to process both the betrothal nor the night before them, blade resisted the urge to express disgust when melina hooked arms with him. ❝ such a shame you think so low of me, lady hightower. i know that my reputation precedes me, but i am not as much of an asshole as one says, ❞ his eyes rolling. the drunken lannister was never good at hiding his thoughts and feelings, but it was not like the sober lannister was any better at that. ❝ i would not allow you to get hurt, it’s not like i have a great hatred towards you or your house. there is no honor in allowing an innocent woman to be injured, unless you are hiding some elaborate plan up your sleeve and i am blissfully unaware. ❞
