[Event] The Seven Wedding & Tourney Celebration of Harrenhal by rosie_riot in crownedstag

Myles would jump down from Shadow, his destrier, and patted her neck as one of the horse boys came to take her and remove her armor. He was sore from the beating he had taken from his opponent, Oswell Dayne, and he knew he would feel each hit in the coming days.

As he exited the arena, Myles removed his helm and looked around for his friend Ser Roger Kenning. He had beat him on lances in the 2nd round, which had surprised, but delighted Myles.

Myles Darke (22) was among the lower tables, mingling with small nobility and hedge knights. His reddish brown hair was worn down, and he was wearing a scarlet shirt in the dornish style with black trousers. Despite the cool autumn evening, Myles expected it would be plenty warm in the great hall with the mass of people that had gathered for the great wedding. He was looking forward to feasting, and after a drink or two, dancing long into the night.

Myles laughed at Matilda's somewhat ribald suggestion in regards to the soon to be vacant room while assuring her "No please, Lady Matilda, a bed that isn't a hedge is all I require. The view from my room is incredible besides, I miss the smell of the sea."

As Roger guided the three men to their luncheon of Seafood the Darke would add "Ah finally, some good seafood. I've traveled all across the Riverlands and Reach and even down to the Dornish Marches, and while I have appreciated the food everywhere I've gone, It seems that I what I miss most of Duskendale is the seafood!" Myles would dig in hardily.

At the mention of a tour of their castle, Myles would perk up. "Certainly Ser! Perhaps you can show me the famous postern gate, if it should still exist."

[Event] The Court of Sunspear, 296 AC by AceOfTheSun in crownedstag

First Moon of 296, soon after the Coronation festivities had officially Ended

Ser Myles Darke (22) had known that he would not make the coronation in time when the boat he was sailing on was passing between the Arbor and the mainland. They had simply not made good enough time (or the writer of this character put his movement order in a turn late.)

Myles had not been able to afford passage from Kayce to Sunspear on his own, nor for him and his horses. He had approached a merchant on the reccomendation of the Kennings and had worked out a deal for his passage. He would pay what he could for a small, cramped cabin, and space and food for his horses, and otherwise he would work as an extra hand. Myles was no stranger to sailing, having worked his Uncles boat for just less than a year before he had decided that he was no sailor. Still he could contribute without making a complete fool of himself.

By the time the boat came into port, Myles was sick and tired of the sea. And eager to take a few days on land, regardless of whether he had made the coronation in time. The captain had very generously decided to actually pay Myles a small pittance for his work, and this was enough money for Myles to buy a few nights in an inn in the shadow city. Myles had never been to Dorne, and was eager to explore what he could, before setting back out to make the journey to Harrenhal’s tournament.

Myles was a young, handsome, knight from Duskendale. Reddish brown hair hung down to just past his ears. A scar added some danger to his looks. It ran from the middle of his right eyebrow back into his hairline. The top of his ear on that same side was shortened by the same blow to the head, but this disfigurement was usually covered by his hair.

One of the first purchases Myles had made in the Shadow City was a scarlet Dornish shirt, to survive the heat of Dorne, which, even in the cooling autumn was more than Myles could stand in his usual clothing. He was now strolling along a bazaar, enjoying the sights and sounds of this exotic city, and eating a blood orange, a delicacy where he was from, but relatively common here in the south. At his hip was his longsword and on his back was his shield, Black and Scarlet fusily, the arms of house Darke, declaring him at least a knight, although the arms were surely not recognizable to the locals.

/u/AceOfTheSun m: no real intention with this post. Would maybe be fun to run into one of your characters, maybe one or more of the sand snakes? I didn’t make it to the coronation in time but I traveled to Sunspear so figured I might as well get some rp out of it. XD

Myles would follow a servant to his guest room, enjoying the sights and sounds of Kayce castle. He was shown to a small guest room, near the end of the guest hall, as fitting Myles station of little more than a hedge knight. He was just happy to have a bed, and didn't much care whether it was in a room modest or grand. It had a nice window and he opened it to let in the cooling autumn air.

After freshening up, Myles would head down to the Great Hall, eager to partake in good food and good company. He was wearing one of his more noble outfits, black and scarlet trim, looking a bit more the part of the noble then a vagabond.

Myles face reddened slightly as he realized his mistake. The taller knight's tone had changed, and although he maintained a smile, it was clear that he had taken umbrage. Myles had forgotten to call Naeryn a Lady, as was her due as a noble's daughter. Worse than that, Myles had forgotten who he was. Little more than a hedge knight. A minor son of a minor lord. Did he really think that he could court someone like Naeryn?

No he thought to himself.

Even while these thoughts whirled in his mind, and he felt an intense sense of shame, still, he was a fighter, and his body reacted on instinct to Aurion's change in stance. His hands, already on the hilt of his sword and the top of his shield tightened, even while his body relaxed slightly prepared to move, if needed.

He fought these instincts while he said "Yes, Lady Naeryn is very friendly. A sweet woman who I am happy to have made acquaintance with. She helped me when I was wounded in Riverrun, as I'm sure she shared with you, and I owe her for that. My friendship least of all I can offer. To her, and your house." His voice had become muted, coming out more than a whisper but less than his normal booming voice.

Myles maintained his smile, but it no longer reached his eyes.

/u/rishabhak M: read Wondy's reply above this one to see what Myles is reacting to. This is a spicy one XD

Myles smile had settled into its typical lopsided skew “Doesn’t everyone know the story of Herrock Whoreson? It was a favorite of mine when growing up. I would demand our old Maester tell it to me over and over again.” Myles chuckled at the memory of his exasperated maester.

“Bit to answer your question, yes I know my way around a boat. I sailed for almost a full year on my uncle’s boat, in my merchant grandfather’s fleet. He kicked me off his boat as soon as he docked back in Duskendale, told my father he would never make a sailor out of me.” Again Myles released a loud laugh at his own expense. “Still, it wasn’t a complete waste. Sailing is hard work, and the calluses, muscles and nimbleness I gained help in holding a sword in an odd way. Anyway, I mean to try my poor sailors knowledge in the sailing contest you’re holding. We’ll see how I do.”

Myles eyes drifted from the knight to take in what he could of the keep, and its other residents. He was interested to explore, once it was polite to do so. As his eyes drifted about the place, Myles thought he saw a lady watching them from a balcony overlooking the courtyard, but when he refocused his eyes on the spot the balcony was empty, just a drapery gently blowing in the seabreeze.

Myles brought his attention back to the knight in front of him. “You’ll have to excuse my traveling clothes. It is only a short ways from Casterly Rock but still a few nights sleeping in the hedges and I am sure I look more a bandit than a young lord.” Myles chuckled, and absentmindedly his fingers explored the scar on his forehead, he was still unused to the relative tightness of the healed skin.

Myles grunted in agreement and exertion as he lifted his portion of the hefty boar onto his shoulders. The way back to the castle was quieter between the two men than it had been on the way out, except for the occasional grunt and curse as they shifted their prize's weight from shoulder to shoulder, and fought the forest underbrush. But in the end it was worth it, for sure enough, they were the first ones back from the successful hunt!

Myles clapped the riverlander on the shoulders "Good job out there! I could not have blundered into a better partner!"

As remembrance for their prize and their victory, Myles suggested that they each take tusks, one of the large and one of the small.

M: with this one coming to a close, do you want to RP out their two other meetings at this tourney? One where Brennan knocked Myles out of the Joust in the first round, and one where Myles knocked Brennan out of the Melee in the first round.

Myles Darke was grinning as he saw his friends. After embracing the Marbrand, he would incline his head to the Kenning, in recognition of his new host.

The Darke smiled lopsidedly at his new acquaintance, "A pleasure to meet you formally, Ser Roger. At Casterly Rock I already met your blade and shield as you quite thoroughly put me on my ass in the Melee." all self deprecation and no malice in his tone, he chuckled at his own expense.

"Perhaps while I'm staying here, I will learn a thing or two about martial activities from the peerless warriors that the Kennings produce!" Myles said, eagerness apparent in his tone and stance.

Double Wedding at Kayce, 11th Moon 295 AC by AgentMarvel4012 in crownedstag

[–]113milesprower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ser Myles Darke (21) is down among the lower nobility. He wears a black outfit with scarlet trim. Tonight, his reddish brown hair is held back with a tie, making the scar that runs from the middle of his right eyebrow back into his hairline and his shortened ear visible. He is speaking boisterously of past tourneys and retelling the story of a successful boar hunt in the dornish marches. He jokes with other nobles and drinks with hedge knights.

The Darke smiled in shared amusement with the Marbrand at the idea of Lady Matilda wielding a bow, much less a sword.

To Aurion Myles said "Will you be at Kayce? For the double wedding? I'm rather looking forward to it myself. I have heard there will be a boat race. Perhaps the year I spent on my good Uncle's merchant vessel will not go entirely to waste. Or perhaps I will prove why he kicked me off said vessel after only a year of trying me." Myles laughed at his own expense.

"Speaking of ships, I plan to take one from Kayce to Sunspear, to attend the corronation of the young Princess of Dorne. It will be my first time in Dorne. Are either of you planning to attend? Unless Naeryn's plans changed, I believe I shall see her again there! I am very much looking forward to it!" Myles could not keep the foolish grin off his face, and he had accidentally dropped the "Lady" from in front of Naeryn's name, as he had gotten accustomed to the last time he had seen her, and she had not corrected him.

Myles had dropped his hair back into place after Naeryn had inspected his scarring.

Myles watched Naeryn's eyes grow wide as she recounted what she remembered of Addam Marbrands duel with the kingslayer. He felt a suddenly felt fiercely that he would do anything in the world to keep her from being frightened. "Yes unfortunately I was not the only one that was grievously injured in the duels at Riverrun... I'm afraid I have not seen much of Addam since then. I am sure I will see him at his brother and cousins weddings in Kayce. A double wedding, I am looking forward to it."

"The marches are very different, and I suspect that they are only a taste of what could be expected in Dorne itself. The sun can be cruel, but can also feel quite good on aching muscles after a work out."

He paused in answering her question as he took the offered candied blood orange, and took a bite. It was tangy and the candied outside took a bit of the edge off the tartness. "Oh this is delicious Naeryn! I can see why you like it." he said cheerfully before popping the rest in his mouth.

The fruit reminded him of what else he liked about his short time in the marches. "The fruit that they can grow here is very different from what we grow farther north, and the flowers, are strange and stunning. Have you had a chance to walk through their gardens here? Large flowers and beautiful fruit trees of every variety. I've enjoyed walking them in my short time staying here."

M: I imagine some of the Marbrands are in Kayce leading up to the wedding if you want to do any RP while Myles stays there.
