Winter market

December event

"You are not to go unescorted. Down to flea bottom. Really." Your grandmother shook her head and leaned on her walking stick. "Certainly not. You'd be robbed of every stitch after just a moment."

"I would be perfectly fine!" You insisted. You heard Aemond chuckle not too far away as he made his way over. "I suppose you have something to say about it."

"Just that your grandmother is right. It can be dangerous alone in flea bottom." Aemond said and smiled until you grinned wickedly.

"Oh! Come with me to the winter market!" You said to Aemond as his smile slid from his face. You glanced between him and your grandmother who seemed appeased by the idea. "There we are! I would not have to go alone!" Grinning you looked about and left them alone as you went to find someone who could fetch you a carriage. Your grandmother left the two of you as you returned.

"You're not going to let me back out of this are you?" Aemond asked reluctantly.

"No. I want to go and you're my only chance. I'd ask Aegon but the last time I snuck out of the keep with him. He left me for some woman who came back a year later with a baby. I had to spend all night trying to get back inside without anyone finding out." You answered as the carriage stopped next to the two of you.

The ride into flea bottom was bumpy and when you got out the carriage was swamped. Though the market was easy to find, the carriage slowed. The driver stated that he would return in an hour. Not having allowed Aemond the opportunity to find a cloak or some sort of disguise, people flocked around you both. Many people tried to lure him over to their stalls as you entered the market and several people grabbed at him shouting all sorts of pleas and demands. One person even tried to pull his sword from his sheath.

"How quickly do you wish this to be over with?" Aemond asked. Neither of you could discuss the matter further as the crowd parted and guards came. They surrounded you and Sir Cole emerged from the group.

"You know how reckless coming down here without a guard is? Your mother is beside herself. If you wanted this kind of thing she said she was more than happy to arrange an event at the keep." He said to the two of you. He didn't say anything else on the carriage ride up but when you both got out in the courtyard Alicent was waiting, hands on hips as she stood with your grandmother in the doorway.

"I said to not go unescorted. They're for you to deal with now." Your grandmother said as she excused herself and Alicent amped herself up for your scolding.
