Ser Artys shrugged his shoulders and took another sip from the horn of ale. He never cared much for finery. Most of his closet contained clothing that had some practical usage or another. He didnโt take any offense, however. This was a ball, and an expensive one at that, with the richest lords, ladies, and nobles in the realm all gathered in one place. He expected to look rather drab in comparison to most of them.ย
ย ย ย ย ย ย โI appreciate the compliment.โ Artys said, glancing sideways to meet her eyes.ย โThough I look rather sorry standing next to you. Nice dress.โ
He was not so adept in flattery, these days. But he tried.ย
ย ย ย ย ย ย โI donโt believe I recognize you underneath that mask, mโladyโฆ?โ
at his compliment, emeline looked down at her gown, hands patting the skirt in admiration. most of the time, an average dress would take several days to complete โ but as they got more and more detailed, days would soon turn to weeks. so when someone commented on her work, it was difficult not to grin, immediately proud of her accomplishments. โyouโre too kind, thank you.โ she returned with a smile, going to lift her mask just slightly for a second before fixing it back over her eyes.ย โthereโs no need for titles or formalities here, iโm afraid,โ emeline said simply with a light shrug.ย โi must say you donโt seem to be having the greatest time, though.โ

out of all the nobles she had the possibility of running into tonight, the last person emeline wouldโve expected was lord eddard. he was the one person that, as much as her heart wished to see again, her head worked around ways on which to avoid the lord of amaranth. hearing his voice, she had to remind herself how to breathe, especially given the fact that their surroundings were very public. even if it has been a year now since the two last engaged in any sort of physicality, the seamstress could still recall the way his skin felt on hers. and it would be a lie if she said she didnโt long for it time and time again.
โed,โ she whispered back before correcting herself.ย โmy lord.โ it was always safer to go with formalities โ something she had learned to drop when it came to the man before her. emelineโs eyes finally looked up to meet his as he turned towards her, cheeks flushing a rosy color at the sound of his words.ย โi thought you tired of that some time ago,โ she commented in a low voice, bringing the glass of wine up to her lips as a form of distraction, before adding, โperhaps i should also congratulate you for the betrothal while weโre here.โ during the past week, her mind couldnโt seem to shake the news. it was something inevitable, that much she knew, but simply hadnโt prepared herself well enough to receive it.ย โif weโre being honest, itโll be difficult to picture you as a married man for some time. but your father must be elated.โ
If it were up to him, Ser Artys would not be here. What the hell did he look like coming to a damned masquerade ball? He fidgeted uncomfortably, standing off to the side. He wore simple clothing. A plain leather doublet and a black mask that didnโt do much to draw the eye. There was a horn of ale clutched tight in his hand and held close to his chest. Lord Brannon said he had to attend, but he never seemed to care how much Artys drank, so long as the job was done well. He swung back another gulp then another, before he made a long, drawn out โahhhโ sound.
It was then that he noticed an approaching figure.ย A woman, and a familiar one too, he thought.ย
ย ย ย ย โI reckon it is.โ He agreed. His thoughts aside, the event was stupendous.ย
ย ย ย ย ย โI donโt come to these things very often.โ Artys admitted then, gesturing down with his free hand to his clothes.ย โBut I suppose it will all make for a pretty painting.โ
emeline watched as he gestured down towards his closing, eyes giving his plain leather doublet a quick scan before falling back on his black mask. in an effort to hold back any serious laughter, the brunette brought her glass of wine up to her lips and took another sip.ย โi take it you donโt own any... i suppose, better suited clothing for the night? appropriateย sounded a bit harsh.โ she took a look around, her head automatically ranking the gowns from best to worst without saying a word.ย โyouโre in luck, ser artysโ she finally chimed after a quick study of the mansionโs guests.ย โthere are plenty of beautiful gowns here tonight for anyone to quickly dismiss a plain outfit worn by a knight. but if itโs any consolation, i donโt think you look so bad.โ
Em hadnโt changed in the slightest; his face warmed up with the teasing, although he tried to ignore the fact that his face had to be turning pink now. It wouldnโt be safe to really acknowledge the statement though, not in public when anyone could hear. โI canโt really argue with that, actually. I prefer it this way, especially now that half of my letter writing time will be negated.โ A smile crossed his face; writing to Em had been wonderful but this would be much better.ย โIโm glad to hear that. I was worried about it. And yes, after you.โ He began walking again, with a sidelong look at Em and a satisfied smile.ย โAye, the city has changed a lot, but Iโm glad I havenโt. Youโll find your way around again in no time, Iโm sure.โ The changes had seemed so small as they came over time, but he could recognize the sum of them. As they reached the door, he opened it and waited for Em to step inside.ย โDo you think youโll be able to settle in easily?โ
โare you saying i wonโt have any new letters to add to my collection?โ emeline quirked a brow, stepping inside the pub and walking towards an empty table before taking a seat.ย โwhat am i supposed to read over and over again when not feeling my best? i suppose i could simply walk over and bother you on your days off.โ it was true, she had his letters to thank for some emotional support during the past several years. now that she was back, however, there would be a different way.ย โas am i,โ she answered with a smile.ย โi donโt think iโd be able to bare you changing much.โ as a server walked up to their table, emeline order a pint of ale and some dinner for herself, allowing rafe some time to put in his own request before jumping back into their conversation.ย โi believe so. iโll have to find a place to stay soon, but i did want to run an idea by you.โ she sat up, leaning forward a bit.ย โdo you think it would be alright to ask if the crown is looking for another seamstress? i just donโt want to seem like iโm overstepping.โย
Calida was relieved to see Emelineโs familiar face. Even with her frequent trips with her father to Aros, it was always nice to have a comfort from home, especially in someone that Calida considered a close acquaintance. Emeline had crafted Calidaโs favorite dresses, and the young Lady made a mental note to thank Rafe for introducing the pair.ย โIโm afraid I may have to fight with ladies from all over the kingdoms to get your dresses now!โ She laughed, before raising a brow.ย โDo you think so? It seems I will need new dresses soonโฆโ Her voice trailed with her thoughts, before she returned her attention to her friend.ย โYouโre far too kind, Emeline. Though I think anyone would look grand in a gown of yours.โ
emelineโs brows raised at the mention of a fight, mind flashing back to a bit earlier in the day when two ladies did in fact go head to head for one of her designs.ย โwas that you who brought up the idea to fight over a dress?โ she teased, a laugh escaping her lips. โpoor ladies didnโt understand i could very simply make another dress just like it with a bit of time. of course, iโm not so sure they would be okay with someone else having a replica.โ she leaned in a bit closer towards calida, bringing her voice down to a whisper.ย โbut shh, iโll give you first choice so long as you come visit often.โ emeline walked around the table to set the piece of lace down, looking back up towards the lady at the mention of new dresses.ย โmost definitely. no matter the occasion, iโll be here. i could always get started on the first one, if youโd like?โย ย

as a seamstress, there were few things in life that made her feel as proud as when someone complimented her work. it was evidence that the past seven years of making a name for herself hadnโt been for nothing, and that the move to amaranth had been worth it after all. seeing a princess in her designs, however, was a completely different feeling. eyes were constantly on them, and as long as they felt both beautiful and comfortable throughout the night, emeline would go to bed satisfied. judging by the gown itself, the brunette already knew who was behind the mask. even if the princess had been wearing a different design altogether, it wouldโve been difficult to mistake her for anyone else.ย
โyou know itโs always my pleasure, your grace,โ she answered with a kind smile.ย โif you ever require another dress, iโll be a lot closer now.โ the move back to aros was something she had planned for some time now, finally deciding to act on it after her life yearned for a change of pace. emeline laughed at madalenaโs question, taking a sip of her wine before replying.ย โwell, i wouldnโt necessarily call them boring, but i donโt believe anything compares to the celebrations thrown in kingsport. even this one is rather grand. iโd be happy to introduce you to some of the nobles, if youโd like? that is, if you havenโt already met.โ
๐๐๐๐: seventh day of festivities .ย
๐๐๐๐๐: masquerade ball .ย
( open to anyone . )ย
the number of balls she had attended throughout life were limited. after all, it wasnโt common for a seamstress to be amongst a list of nobles and royalty, her presence not having as much of an impact on others when compared to ladies of a higher status. still, having friends and frequent customers that were among that crowd meant that an invitation was sometimes extended to the brunette โ tonight being one of those occasions. gathering the front of her skirt in one hand, emeline made her way up the steps of the grand mansion, brown eyes admiring the structure for a moment before entering the building.ย
once inside, her hands reached for a glass of red wine near the entrance, kind eyes thanking the server behind the mask as her lips extended into a genuine smile. attending a ball by herself was never a first choice, but there were only so many options at play for someone like her. seeing a figure standing on its own to the side, she made her way over to them, unsure of who stood behind the mask, and took a sip of her wine.ย โquite the event, no?โย
He threw his arms around her for a tight hug; Rafe didnโt begrudge his family their happiness, and had been glad for Em to pursue her craft just as heโd been glad for his parents to move to Belhaven with their new partner. But it did his heart good to see Em again, and know that heโd get to see her again so much more frequently now. He had no more wish to let go than Em did and kept his arms looped around her, in a slightly looser grip now.ย โBusy, and I know it wonโt get any better,โ he said with a laugh.ย โBut since youโre here, everything is better. How did the travels go? No trouble?โ
hearing his answer, emeline joined in with a laugh.ย โbetter to be busy than not, in my opinion. besides, iโm sure it wonโt be too bad this week with certain nobles in town.โ she gave him a knowing look, hands finally falling off to her sides.ย โas good as they could go, but no trouble thankfully. just long.โ she turned back towards the pub for a second before looking back at rafe.ย โshall we?โ catching up over dinner seemed like a better option than standing outside.ย โi must say, you havenโt changed one bit in the past seven years. kingsport, on the other hand, seems like a completely different place.โย
Who: Rafe & Em ( @emclineโ )
When: Evening, the first day of the celebration
Where: Kingsport
Rafe had hardly believed the news when Em wrote that she was coming home again, but his excitement could hardly be contained now. Thanks to his reputation, heโd managed to score an evening off tonight - in exchange for working later in the celebration - and he was to meet Em in the city, at a pub where they could have a fairly private meal. He was just a little late as he made his way to the pub; Em was just up ahead and his pace increased to a jog.ย โEm!โ
for the whole duration of her travels back to kingsport, all emeline could think of was reuniting with her brother. while they had kept in touch via countless of letters, it had now been seven years since they last saw one another. so many things could happen in that amount of time. making her way to the pub they had agreed to meet at for dinner, she turned around at the mention of her name, the voice sounding much too familiar. seeing rafeโs figure jog up to her, the corners of her lips stretched into a grin as he got closer.ย โoh, rafe!โ she opened her arms to welcome him in a hug, putting in all the effort to close the gap between the two.ย โhow have you been?โ she questioned, leaning back a bit to get a good look at his face as her hands rest on his arms, not wanting to let go.
ย ย asha was beaming as she stepped off the stage with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. as soon as her silken slipper touched the ground, she looked around for rรบairรญ as he was the only reason she had even volunteered to perform the role of lyria, but soon friends and well-wishers flocked around her and she got lost in endless conversations about the music, the death monologue of her character and her newly announced betrothal to lord eddard celtigar. when she finally broke free from the small crowd, she went straight to one of the servants carrying a golden tray stacked with goblets of red wine. she downed almost half the goblet in one gulp and turned around to go back to her small group of friends, but asha ended up colliding with a body and almost spilling the precious red drops on herself.ย โoh sh- i mean forgive me,โ she apologised thoughtlessly with an automatic smile before even registering whom she had rudely stumbled into.
the way the whole city of kingsport seemed to light up with visitors was enough for emeline to find herself constantly roaming the streets, moving from event to event until her eyes could no longer stay open. she watched from a distance as the play came to an end, palms coming together to join the rest of the spectators in elated applause. she had been looking to her side when ashaโs body collided with her own, emeline quickly turning to apologize as well even though it wasnโt her doing.ย โoh, my lady, apologies.โ after seeing the entirety of the play, it was impossible to mistake her for anyone else.ย โiโm glad to see none of the wine was spilled.โ emeline managed a polite smile,ย โi wouldnโt want to keep you from your friends, though. please.โย

who: lady calida celtigar and anyone
when: queen constanzaโs name day celebration, day two
where: the merchant stalls in kingsport
โThe grand square is always bustling with activity, who could have thought there could be more?โ Calida mused as she ran her fingers over a piece of lace. With Eddardโs betrothal announced the night before, and her own wedding looming on the horizon, it would seem that there was a need for plenty of new dresses.ย โI couldnโt imagine a celebration as grand as this for me.โ She mused to the person next to her, before offering a sheepish grin. โThough I suppose Iโll never be quite as grand as Queen Constanza.โ
after seven years of living in amaranth, kingsport almost seemed foreign to emeline. it was her home, yet nothing but a handful of those who resided there had a familiar sense to her. perhaps her move back was perfect timing with the queenโs celebration, allowing those she had grown close with to make the transition easier.ย โi suppose no one wanted to miss the queenโs festivities, though i also canโt complain at the peak in business,โ the brunette aded with a soft chuckle. she watched as the ladyโs fingers ran over a piece of lace, picking it up soon after.ย โi could make something out of this, if youโd like? both delicate and grand.โ she couldnโt help but shake her head at her friendโs words.ย โmy mother always cautioned me never to compare myself to others, so iโll say the same to you. yes, queen constanza is grand, but so are you, my lady. and iโll make as many gowns as youโd like to prove it.โย

* / BACKGROUND .ย
born in the capital city of kingsport to a hardworking pair of parents, emelineโs formative years were spent running around the castle while attached to her older brotherโs, rafe, hip. while her life wasnโt the easiest out there, it also wasnโt the hardest.ย
her mother, a baker, taught her the proper way to knead dough and handle a knife by the age of five. it wasnโt uncommon to find young emeline covered in flour and assisting the kitchen staff while other girls her age ran around the gardens. however, as much as she enjoyed mixing together ingredients, her interest truly piqued at the sight of dresses. they were delicate yet intricate โ how a piece of fabric could make such a gown, she didnโt know, but was intrigued.ย
during her teen years, emeline assisted the castleโs seamstress, learning as much as she could day in and day out. soon enough, the pricking of her fingers became second nature as she worked on pinning waistbands and adding lace to gowns.ย
on her eighteenth birthday, emeline made the decision to part ways with her family. not because she didnโt enjoy their company, but simply because she felt it was time for her to experience life on her own. while her parents moved to belhaven, she embarked on her own journey north towards amaranth. the castleโs seamstress at kingsport had mentioned how valuable amaranthine lace and silk was, so it seemed like the proper place to further her skills.ย
settling in amaranth, nothing was easy. theย amaranthiansโ weariness towards outsides was clear, but emeline managed to make a friend in town during her first week there. over the years, she built a reputation for herself as one of the best private seamstresses in silverhill. while life wasnโt as comfortable as her years in the castle, it paid enough to live on her means.ย
staying in contact with her family was important, and one of the few things that kept her from feeling completely alone. letters between rafe and emeline were common, with the brunette making sure to keep any and all correspondences tucked away somewhere safe โ not because they had any troubling information, but she simply didnโt want the fragile paper and ink to get ruined.ย
now seven years later, emeline has packed up her things in amaranth and moved back to aros, looking for the next chapter in her life.ย
