the  norrey  had  not  received  any  such  invitation,  the  only  raven  sent  from  the  south  a  threatening  message  to  tell  them  to  abandon  a  cause  they  had  not  yet  joined.  he  was  only  allowed  in  as  a  personal  guard  to  the  robb,  and  even  then  he  is  the  subject  of  sneers.  it’s  tempting  to  simply  start  a  skirmish  within  the  grand  hall,  but  he  has  enough  sense  to  know  it  would  only  be  a  slaughter  — —  even  then,  perhaps  more  desirable  than  pretending  that  wasn’t  what  he  wanted  to  be.

he  finds  wine  that  is  far  too  fine  for  his  tastes,  but  wanders  around  with  a  tankard  full  anyway,  treating  the  keep  like  it  was  a  mole’s  town  tavern.  he  follows  a  sound  he  has  heard  a  few  times  before  at  the  bay  of  ice,  though  the  ocean  here  sounded  softer.   ‘  aye,  might  have.  likely  when  i  went  south  at  the  neck.  ’  he replies,  glancing  over  to  the  lady  standing  there  and  cannot  help  the  creeping  smile  that  appears.   ‘  found  you  though,  didn’t  i ?  ’   perhaps  there  were  other  ways  to  entertain  oneself  in  this  city,  bloodlust  set  aside.

the lilt of his accent is decidedly northern, perhaps thicker than she has ever heard before though she cannot say that often their family is beholden with visitors and especially not often from the north. it is almost a surprise to hear it. gaze shifts over the garb that he wears, somewhat unfamiliar in colors and yet she can see the deep greens that twist throughout. he seems to be of house stark, but she is uncertain in what capacity he belongs. he is not kit, of that much she is certain.   “ the neck is less of a turn and more of a straight pass through, ”   she counters.    “ which would make at least a portion of your journey far more intentional. ”

that the invitation for the wedding of king joffery and lady sansa was extended to sun house was expected, that the same invitation was extended all the way to her was severely unexpected. a trunk is packed with her best dresses, her best clips and her best cloaks. she’d been in king’s landing only a day, but she’s already dressed to impress. 

it was unsafe, amongst other things, for a lady to travel alone — especially one who had a tendency to wander, taking a longer journey back than was strictly necessary for the errand she wished to run. ireyne was meant to wander — not to stay tucked within sun house under her father’s thumb and then her brother’s until she was passed off to a husband and became the problem of his family.

all of this to say that, on an early morning, she completes her journey to starfall — or at the very least, the places where many dwelled outside of and below it. it was here that she would find her prizes, silks and wines, among other things to return to sun house clutching. there is a part of her that wonders if she should take the long way back, to wander farther into dorne before finding her way back home.
