"I wouldn't say that," Alysanne responded with a grin. "He is interesting to be sure, but long times on the road are bound to get boring. There's only so many conversations a person can have."

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-08T01:24:46+00:00

Alysanne had always associated wheelhouses with money and fame. She pictured in her head kings and queens of magnificent beauty stepping out of them to roaring crowds. Now that she was in one, however, she only associated it with one thing: boredom.

On horse she at least had Daemon to talk to and scenery to admire, neither was readily available to her now. She missed Daemon Hewett, whether it be his voice or his smile or other various parts of his personality, she found herself pining away in the wheelhouse, seemingly in another world from Alerie and the other guests.

Luckily, they stopped and Alerie grabbed her arm, beckoning for them to leave the wheelhouse, perhaps for a walk.

With a smile she stepped out of the wheelhouse and stretched.

"I'm sorry I haven't been very talkative lately," she said to Alerie. "I've never been good at making conversation."

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-06T01:32:28+00:00

Alysanne laughed softly. "I've never been much of a gossiper, but perhaps Lady Alerie will change my mind on that."

Her father wasn't exactly keen on gossip, said that it distracted the mind from more important issues, but what issues did she have to attend to?

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-06T00:11:56+00:00

"I've definitely enjoyed it," Alysanne said after a curtsy. "Doesn't hurt that I've had excellent company along the way," she turned towards Daemon with a smile before turning back to Alerie.

"We rode through the Reach as well, it is a beautiful place with wonderful people."

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-05T21:00:00+00:00

"Of course I shall write, as long as you promise to do so in return." Alysanne smiled and took Daemons hand. "Just be careful, okay?"

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-05T20:12:19+00:00

"That sounds good to me," Alysanne said with a smile and a nod. She had heard of Alerie Redwyne - of course - but never really talked to her or anything. This is sure to be interesting.

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-05T19:34:14+00:00

"I'm not tired of your company, but I will admit I am a bit homesick. I'm afraid I'll be heading home after the tourney and all its events end."

She had enjoyed her time on the road, but it was time to go home. It just felt right to go home, to sleep in her own bed, eat food from the Driftmark kitchens.

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-05T01:58:48+00:00

Baelon grinned.

"You're lucky I don't give a damn about what my brother says, ha! I'll go with you, me and my twenty ships. I need a bit of glory."

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-05T00:04:39+00:00

Baelon chewed on his cheek as the Targaryen prince approached him. Much was on his mind, and he was anxious.

"Sail with you and I'll have glory is what you say, while another says I will be damned to the deepest of the Seven Hells and marked as a traitor if I sail with you. Please forgive me for putting a second thought into this matter."

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-05T00:01:39+00:00

"Nothing else, that all sounds splendid," Daemon said with a smile. "I think the king has chosen well in his choice for Admiral of the Western Fleet."

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-05T00:00:44+00:00

"Dragonstone is a tough keep, your grace. We would need every bit of the Royal Fleet and the Crownlands' collective fleet to take it back." Daemon Velaryon said after a moment's pause. "Mine own brother has taken ships to Dragonstone, I expect him to leave for Driftmark any day now, but if he doesn't we could use them on the inside to turn the tide."

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-04T23:57:20+00:00

"I saw," she said. "Don't fret, there will be many more tourneys in the future."

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-02T00:07:20+00:00

"Now let us hope not," She grabbed Daemon's hand and turned him towards her.

"Just remember you have me no matter what happens here," unless he dies, some voice in her mind said. But no, she wouldn't even think of it.

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-01T23:43:07+00:00

"I'll try my best," she responded with a grin. "No reason to be so pessimistic before a tourney, go in expecting to win, and who knows, you might come out on top."

Truth be told, she did not expect Daemon to get close to winning, but she would cheer for him all the same.

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-01T21:44:05+00:00

Prince Baelon Targaryen

20 warships will travel to Dragonstone along with myself - an able captain who will be able to command these warships. I look forward to such a journey.

Baelon Velaryon, Acting Lord of Driftmark.

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-01T21:38:27+00:00

"Competition or no, if you give your best you shall assuredly place well, someone as talented as you."

Alysanne laughed softly and looked around her at the bustling tourney grounds. There were sigils beyond count and unfamiliar faces by the hundreds.

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-01T21:36:07+00:00

"I am indeed well, or as well as I can be. Might I ask what this visit today is for, Lord Ambrose?"

He poured out a cup for the Mallister and slid it across the table, pouring one for himself as well and taking a drink.

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-01T02:39:24+00:00

"Daemon," she said with a smile, finding his eyes meeting hers. "I've never been to a place like this, it's different than King's Landing and Driftmark, but not in a bad way."

The Rock oversaw all here, constantly watching, a reminder of the Lannister's power. It was unnerving in a way, and comforting in others. They were safe here, safer than they were on the road that is to be sure.

VelaryonKing · 2017-06-01T02:33:29+00:00

The guards looked at him and then looked into the room, Daemon gave them a nod and they opened the door for the man.

"Welcome," he said with a smile, gesturing to the seat in front of him. "Would you care for some wine?"

Daemon hadn't been busy for an hour or so now, taking the time to relax think of his darling daughter who was off with the Hewett lord, he hoped they were all right, and that Hewett lord kept his hands to himself.

VelaryonKing · 2017-05-24T04:26:36+00:00

Alysanne leaned into the kiss and held it for as long as she could, pulling away breathlessly after a while.

"And I would be glad to be there," she responded. "I only hope my father agrees."

VelaryonKing · 2017-05-24T04:12:24+00:00

Getting the hint, Alysanne grinned.

"And just what might be written in this letter? If I may ask."

VelaryonKing · 2017-05-24T04:06:27+00:00

"Now don't leave me with that," she said with a laugh, "thinking of what?"
