"𝐎𝐖!" 𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐍𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐃, feeling as if an iron clamp had been secured around her waist.

"It's supposed to be tight." Dacey retorted, and though Alysane was facing the wall she was certain her sister would have rolled her eyes in company with that statement. "Beauty is pain, as they say." Dacey quipped jokingly, and Alysane swore she would be sick in her mouth any second.

After the muddy introduction to the King, Alysane bolted to her room, both hiding from her future husband and her mother who would no doubt scold her for the state she had been in. Vivian and Dermot followed her, sitting in her chambers beside the fire and discussing the matter of the King's sudden arrival.

"So, he did not capsize then..." Vivian had mumbled, when all three were sat in silence and huddled beneath blankets and furs that had previously been stored in excess about the room. All of them had laughed, even though it really wasn't all that funny.

Dermot had suggested that perhaps Maege and Catelyn had wanted to get the engagement started so that they could be married sooner, a prospect which only made Alysane feel more nauseous in regard to the entire situation. Just because Robb Stark had arrived sooner, and her mother wanted her to marry him sooner, did not mean Alysane's feelings towards the engagement would be rushed into content just as quickly. Alysane and Vivian had shrugged, without any idea as to what the reasoning for the King's abrupt appearance on the island beyond that it most definitely involved the marriage.
