"I am not in need of your aid."  he snarled while moving away from her.  "a few stab wounds will not be the death of me  —  it is insulting that you would think otherwise."

@kntrlaw-    ( … )     you’re   an   arrogant   fool.   / enough /.     [      alyera   sighed   as   he   moved   away   from   her.   her   eyes   narrowed,   rising   back   to   her   feet.     ]      maybe   not.   I   have   no   doubt   you’ve   suffered   worse   than   this.   but   the   infection   will   eat   at   you.   and   you   are   in   my   kingdom   now,   bleeding   on   my   floors.   so   sit.   down.

So they've sent another one then?

@gloriousoceans    ( … )     [        alyera   rose   her   eyebrow   at   the   blonde   after   dismounting   her   horse   within   the   courtyard   of   the   castle.      ]      I’m   sorry ?      [      she   asked   as   she   observed   him,   slowly,   from   head   to   toe,   as   if   she   was   assessing   him.   the   princess   took   off   her   gloves,   tucking   them   underneath   her    belt.      ]       I   have   not   been   “ sent “   by   anyone,   prince.

"is that supposed to make me care?"  his eyes roamed over her in a slow  ,  bored manner.  "your status is of no importance to me  —  not when you're here in   /  my  /   kingdom."  he rose from his seated position  —  approached with slow  ,  heavy steps.  "hurry now   /  princess  /   —  what use is there in keeping you alive?"

of course he didn't know of the threat they faced  —  he never knew of the true danger that was heading their way.  for as adamant as the queen was that her kingdom had to continue to stand  ,  she found continued amusement in her king facing battle with little to no information.  he was a king known for going into war without making plans.  he was constantly chastised for never thinking things though.  he has learned to live with that  —  has learned to accept the title.
            
            "why are you speaking to me about this matter to begin with?  if you are so informed about things  ,  then I'm sure you know how this kingdom works."  at this he actually let out a sigh.  his shoulders fell and a hand ran through his hair  —  he was  ..  tired of letting his land just  ..  die.  were it up to him  ,  he   /  would  /   have accepted this deal.  "you want an alliance?  you talk to the queen."

@kntrlaw-   ( … )     [        alyera   stared   at   him,   unimpressed   by   his   amusement   as   his   arms   folded   over   his   chest.   it   was   not   a   joke,   nor   were   her   words   meant   to   be   patronising.  she   had   not   come   here   to   insult   him   or   his   rule,   but   he   had   threatened   her   life   as   soon   as   she   walked   in   through   the   doors.   and   she   would   not   stand   meekly   ignoring   it.   respect   went   both   ways.      ]      I   have   no   doubt   you   can   handle   many   things   yourselves.   I   have   heard   stories   of   your   victories.     [       she   uttered,   nodding   her   head.   her   jaw   clenched   slightly   at   the   word   “ girl “,   but   chose   to   say   nothing.   instead,   she   waited,   until   he   was   finished,   lips   pursed   into   a   thin   line.     ]      
            
                   you’ve   heard   the   whispers,   haven’t   you ?       [       she   asked,   her   voice   low,   almost   reverent.     ]      of   a   force   stirring   in   the   north.   not   raiders.   not   wolves.   something   older.   something   colder.   it   moves   like   shadow   and   strikes   like   flame.   and   it   does   not   bleed.      [      she   let   the   words   hang   in   the   air,   heavy   as   snowfall   before   a   blizzard.      ]       whatever   it   is…   it   is   not   of   this   world.   and   it   does   not   care   who   wears   the   crown.   I   came   because   house   baratheon   offers     aid.

"you think we are in need of   /  your  /   help?"  he let out a laugh at that  ,  a smile making its way on to his face.  "are you trying to make a fool of yourself?  we are perfectly capable of handling ourselves during these times.  we are used to dire situations.  my land is constantly dying.  it is the conditions we have been cursed with  —  we've learned how to survive countless different times  ,  girl."  finally  ,  the small amount of humor dropped.
            
            "the world burns  ,  my kingdom still freezes.  we never see the sun.  if there is war  ,  we will fight  —  we will kill.  we need no alliance for that.  do not insult me with such a phrase."  do not insult the   /  queen  /   was the true phrase there.  she would hate to hear such a thing.  ragnar had died countless times fighting for her  ,  but it was true that they had never lost.  he still hadn't a clue what she was  ,  but she kept them standing  ,  even in these ruins of a kingdom.  "did you come here only to insult me?"

@THEEYOUNGWOLF       ( … )     and   you,   a   sore   loser,   apparently.     [      the   brunette   shot   back   without   missing   a   beat,   her   voice   laced   with   playful   defiance.   her   hand   shoved   his   shoulder   at   the   annoying   nickname   that   slipped   from   his   lips   once   again,   tempted   to   call   him   an   ass.   but   instead,   she   was   unable   to   hide   her   smile   as   she   passed   him,   leading   her   horse   to   the   stables.   alyera’s   smile   faltered   slightly   at   his   last   comment,   causing   her   to   pause   in   her   tracks,   chest   tightening.      ]      
          
                I   read   your   letters.   every   one   of   them.     [      she   spoke   softly,   her   forest   hues,   ones   she   had   inherited   from   her   mother,   flickering   over   his   features.      ]      my   father   forbade   it.   I   am   sure   you   have   heard   the   news   of   jon   arryn’s   death.   father   feared   a   spy   among   us.   he   believed   our   letters   were   being   intercepted,   read,   twisted   into   weapons   of   knowledge.   political   leverage.   I   couldn’t   risk   it…

                 her  words  hit  their  mark  ,  his  pride smarting  under  her  teasing  .  his  jaw  set , he  leaned  closer  ,  eyes  darkened  with determination  and  amusement  ,  their  usual  banter  familiar  .  
          “  i  did  not  realize  i  was  dealing  with  a  sore  winner , ”  he  retorted  ,  a  hint  of challenge  in  his  voice  . “  you’re  not  the  only  one  who  can  land  a  blow  ,  princess .  ”  
          he  used  the  term  deliberately  now  , watching  her  annoyance  flicker  –  then  his  eyes  softened  .  “  you  did  not  answer  any  of  my  letters  . ”

                   he  huffed  ,  unable  to  hide  the  smile  etched  upon  his  face  .   “  won't   stay  for  long  –  mother  wants  me  to  ...  look   / presentable /  to  the  king  .  ”  his  smile  fell  .   “  they  plan  to  wed  sansa  to  your  brother  . ”

@THEEYOUNGWOLF    ( … )     [       her   gaze   focused   on   her   horse,   calming   him   in   the   new   environment.   she   ‘ shhh’d ‘   him   gently,   as   she   closed   the   pen,   taking   one   of   the   apples   from   her   satchel   and   allowing   the   animal  to   take   it   from    her   palm.       ]

                    understatement  filled  his  eyes  ,  then  ,   and   for   a   moment  ,   his   annoyance   at her   mocking   faded   away  .  her  explanation   made   sense  —   he'd   heard   the   whispers   of   jon   arryn's death  ,  the court   torn   by   the   mystery  of   it   all  . still  ,   his   frustration   simmered   beneath the   surface   at   being   denied   even  the simplest   connection   with   his  friend  .
             
            he  walked  alongside  her  as  she  led  her horse  to  the  stables  ,  his  gaze  fixed  on her   as   his   usual   grin  took  back  its  rightful  place  on   his   face  .  
            “  well   –  that's   ...  better  ,  i  suppose  .  i   thought   you  were  upset   with   me   –  and you  get  a  tad  scary   when   you're   upset  ,   alyera  .  ”
