LOCATION: Renly’s quarters in King’s Landing, evening after the luncheon

As partial as Renly was to busy days full of festivities, there was something to be said of a quiet evening. There would be enough activity to keep him occupied, but there were only a few things, in his mind, that made the journey to King’s Landing a worthwhile endeavour.

Of course the company he had planned to keep was among the highest on that list, something he anticipated eagerly. When the knock at his door finally came, Renly glanced up from the cards laid out before him on the table, a smile spread across his face. “I was beginning to wonder what might be taking you so long,” he teased, warm. And then, with note of greater sincerity: “…Come here. I’ve missed you.”

Loras had never liked King’s Landing. The city was too loud, too busy for his taste, with nary a place to escape that felt welcoming to him. While Loras was charming, personable, even, he truly hated the court proceedings that accompanied his arrival to the capital. He played nice, behaved, acted according to his station, but the entire time, he’d been waiting for an opportunity to escape. Loras adored his family, truly, he did, but there was one person that had driven him forward on the journey there, one reason to truly be in King’s Landing, and it was not obligations to his House -- why would he care about a royal wedding, especially when he hoped to see the boy-king unthroned in the near future. 

º . ♔ ⸻ the capital of king’s landing welcomes LORAS of HOUSE TYRELL, the SER of HIGHGARDEN. news borne by a raven sends word that he bears a resemblance to ALI GOZUSIRIN. the TWENTY-SEVEN year old CIS MAN is reputed to be GRACIOUS and LOYAL, but with the eyes of court watching their every move, they might turn out to be SPOILED and IMPULSIVE. when songs are sung, their verses speak of IMPECCABLY POLISHED ARMOR (PERHAPS TOO ELEGANT, TOO EXTRAVAGANT, BUT WHO WOULD TELL HIM THAT?) ; THREE ROSES IN A FIELD OF GRASS, STRETCHING TOWARDS THE SUN, FOREVER UNTOUCHED ; A CHARMING GRIN ON HORSEBACK, SHARED WITH ALL, AND A SECOND, SOFTER SMILE, SHARED WITH ONE. whispers throughout the seven kingdoms claim that their allegiance lies with HOUSE TYRELL & RENLY BARATHEON, where they conspire to SHIFT THEIR GRANDMOTHER'S SUPPORT TO RENLY'S CAUSE. but in the end, fealty means little when you play the game of thrones.
