Noah had chosen a blue gown for her dress. Very befitting the coming events at the same time it was not for the fabrics was barely layered enough to hide her skin. Still. It was beautiful.

She had chosen to keep her hair down still, just pinning back the sides and placing flowers in her hair and a thin, simple golden necklace around her neck.
Oberyn would accompany her to the festivities so she now was just waiting for the knock in her door whilst blotting her lips with rose pigment to turn them a deep lovely red.
She looks into the mirror once more, when two hands are placed onto her sides. She then jumps slightly looking up at the man she had been waiting for. "How do I look?" "Like I am going to have a hard time trying not to grab the nearest woman and fuck her while thinking of you." Noah shakes her head with a smile. "Charming. I shall be taking that as a 'You look wonderful' and move on." They share an amused smile. "Well.. it shall be my pleasure to escort the Siren herself to the festivities already at hand."
She takes his arm and allows him to guide her away from her room and out into the sun and into the eyes of all of the nobility able to afford to come. "Baelish is missing. Good.", Noah whispers and they share a meaningful look.

She would turn out to be stealing the attention away from the Queen to be herself and the Queen Regent as well. Nothing Noah couldn't handle. She had gotten used to it in her time in Westeros. But it still irked her. Her seat she had taken next to Oberyn amongst the viewers, taking comfort in him as well as using him to deflect the attention of all the young and, disgustingly enough, old lords there.
Everything went as she knew that it would until shortly before the pie.

Margery gets up and Noah knows it is time.
Giving Oberyns arm a slight squeeze to notify him she swings her legs around so to be able to quickly move to the front. "Before we indulge ourselves with cake I have asked our lovely friend and wonderful royal advisor Lady Noah Mars a personal favour to sing for us this very day.", Margery announces and Noah straightens up and walks towards the front of the stage.
"I hope we all shan't regret this.", she says, making quite a few people chuckle. Then she turns her side to both the new king as queen and the lords and ladies.
Her and Oberyns song of choice of Stardust by Starset.

Stardust
In you and in me
Fuse us
Into unity
Primeval
We're coupled
Born from the universe
Farewell
The void is calling
Don't fear
For futures and dreams
They're fleeting, retreating
It's ok
I promise

I don't know what to say
But I'm going to want you till the stars evaporate
We're only here for just a moment in the light
One day it shines for us the next we're in the night
So say the word and I'll be running back to find you
A thousand armies won't stop me I'll break through
I'll soar the endless skies for only one sight
Of your starlight

Tell me
Just tell me to stay
I'll turn
I won't look away
I'll stay here
I'll never go but you don't feel the same
Farewell
Farewell and godspeed
Light years
Between you and me
I'm fading
Your beauty conquers the darkness

At night the earth will rise
And I'll think of you each time I watch from distant skies
Whenever stars go down and galaxies ignite
I'll think of you each time they wash me in their light
And I'll fall in love with you again
I will find you
A thousand armies won't stop me I'll break through
I'll soar the endless skies for only one sight of your starlight

Don't leave me lost here forever
Show me your starlight and pull me through
Don't leave me lost here forever
I need your starlight and pull me through
Bring me back to you

Just as Noah finishes she opens her eyes again and bows ever so slightly, only to be all but overthrown with applause. "Thank you very much for your performance." "It was my pleasure."
With that Noah again takes her seat under constant observation when luckily the pie takes the attention away from her. "You make it harder and harder for me.." With a smile she glances at Oberyn. "Should I apologize? Because I really have no idea what I'm doing." "Everyone can see those lovely thighs and ass of yours through the dress thanks to the light. And it is not just me who had to restrain themselves not to jump you and fuck you in front of everyone." "My goodness.. you would perish if you were to ever see my world where my dresses are short enough to just casually cover my ass, so are some of my pants and the others are skin tight and I have shirts clinging to my form made from nothing but lace and they aren't really THAT short in comparison with some others at all and neither is the lace uncommon.", Noah whispers to him while watching Joffree cut the pie as the mans hand he had placed on her back cramps up. "What?!" She raises her eyebrows in a teasing manner. "It is pardon me last I heard." With narrowed eyes Oberyn stares her down and then leans closer. "If you continue like this I'm going to ravish you tonight whether you want it or not." "Already quiet." His dark eyes glimmer. "Too bad. I really hoped you would continue." "If I ever learn to create an exact copy of myself minus my unending love for Zachary I do believe she would love you to take her hand and whisk her away. Until then you might just have to suffer.
"He's choking!"
"Bring him some water!" Those words snap Noah out of her trance and she sees Sansa give her one last look as she is dragged away to somewhat safety by that ragged man Baelish had hired.
She covers her eyes in horror, turning away from the face turning purple and blue with the skin ashy pale. Her hand covers her lips as she waits for the right moment just after Cercei had accused Tyrion. "Where is Sansa? Did she drink that too?!", she is in her feet and already acting out her charade. Cercei's tear filled eyes widen with quick realisation.
"I want her found! Now!" Noah had started to actually feel distressed. She hated this. She hated every second of this. Still she had enough wit left in her to shield Tommen away from the body of his older brother and quickly check him over for any injuries. "What's happening?", the now new king asks her quietly. "Your brother was poisoned.", Noah says softly, trying to make it a bit easier when really it was just a terrible terrible thing. This child too would die. "I'm scared." "You'd be a fool not to. So am I. Come. Ser Jaime!!" The man looks over to her. "Get him away from here.", she says and then hurries over to Cercei, slowly bringing the shaking woman away from her son. This wasn't the first time she had to do something like this. Just this time there was no hope for the boy to wake up again. The older woman struggles between outbursts of anger and breaking down into tears as Noah brings her away, leaving the situation to Tywin to handle.
