i know i've got a big ego

a good time is not something orryn would describe himself as having. he wasn't even sure he knew what a good time or fun for that matter was. he knew for certain that it wasn't this. being in a room full of people when he'd much rather be in his own company with a book or wandering around the grounds. he knew if he disappeared once more he would detract attention from all the important events that had taken place by not being there and present as his sister would say. and the event truly wasn't about him, despite the scrutiny he faced from others, he would not give them something else to talk about. upon noticing sara he hastily approached, she brought him solace even if he struggled to express it properly. "i would ask you to dance but i doubt you'd like that very much."

            pride  fills  his  chest  as  he  sees  his  sister adorned  with  all  the  jewels  and  emblems  of  a  queen  .  it  was  always  meant  to  be  ,  baraqthones  after  all  were  bloodroyal  ,  with  the  history  of  stag  kings  and  the  kingdom  of  storm  (  though  nobody  seems  to  remember  -  but  the  stormborn  never  forget  ,  they  are  kings  and  queens  in  every  right  except  title  .  or  at  least  ,  they  should  be  )  .  addam  only  rolls  his  eyes  at  his  brother’s  approach  ,  hiding  his  smile  behind  a  sip  of  wine  . “  yes  ,  you  did  dear  sister  .  she  had  them  running  after  you  like  you  were  a  child  .  but  don’t  fret  orryn  ,  there  wasn’t  anything  discussed  that  your  little  brain  could’ve  understood  .  ”

the pinch alys had so kindly bestowed upon orryn had made him slightly recoil as though he was a child being scolded for doing something he shouldn’t have. and while addam’s comment may have seemed harsh, orryn was sure the both of them were put on the planet to ensure he knew no peace and simply suffered their teasing. ”when the day comes that you do not treat me as though i am a child it will be my happiest.” his joking manner was evident as he looked between the two of them. he knew he had an image to uphold now — not for the sake of the baratheon name but more so for his sister and being present was certainly a must despite hating being there. “i doubt i missed much of importance . . . though your lady is quite terrifying, she was following me around as if she was a duckling following their mother.”

alys was the queen now. it was a strange thought that had entered orryn's mind. his sister now ruled and he felt as useless as usual. his frockling around the castle to avoid the festivities had came to an end and he'd returned to where most were congregating. he was most likely the most unsociable man he knew — choosing to drink the wine privoded and refuse to dance with those who had asked him. though he had perked up significantly upon seeing both of his siblings within close proximity to himself. upon his approach he had spoke, "if it isn't my two favourite people gathering without me."

announcing  the  arrival  of  orryn  baratheon  ,  lord   of  storms  end  .  known  for  being  ambitious  ,  the  twenty  five  year  old  can  also  be  very  aloof  ,  but  that's  just  the  rumors  of  the  stormlands ,  they  whisper  that  he  reminds  them  of  a  hastily  written  letter  with  ink  splattered  across  the  page.
