*Amy and Joanna are walking through the garden of the Iron Keep

Amy:Why does my brother not take these walks my lady?

Joanna:Because he is the Hand and gets enough practice. You need more practice then he will ever need.

*Bryse and Klaire are arriving on horseback (in a carriage if that's what's used in GoT ;))

(Yep that would be good!)

*Zach is commanding the extra guards on duty for all the royalty in the city

Zach:They are to come directly into the castle once they enter the Iron Keep. We don't need them out and about. That's how we end up with dead on our hands.

*the silence becomes full with tension between them, causing Bryse to clear his throat, beginning to speak*

Bryse: I like your dress, dear.

Klaire: *continues looking out the window, she half smiles, but it's obviously only a smile to try and be polite, not a smile that shows how she actually cares*

Bryse: *he also looks out the window

*more silence*

Klaire: It'd be nice to see the Princess. I haven't gotten to have talks with her for a while.

*Joanna and Amy sit in the garden*

Joanna:You need to be prepared for what your father may do during this event.

Amy:I'm sorry my lady?

Joanna:You're father is going to announce at this event that he is looking for a husband for you. He will find you a husband to serve House Thorn. Someone willing to give up their family name for a chance to take a spot on the Iron Throne.

Amy:I don't get to pick who I marry?

Joanna:Not with the life you live honey. I'm sorry. Grow to love them.

Klaire: 'nd I also can't wait for the bloodbath that starts between everyone at these meetings
*she starts to chuckle, he doesn't find that amusing, so she stops and awkwardly sighs

Bryse: *continues looking
We're almost there. My brother always ensures our carriage gets there the quickest, doesn't he?
*he lightly chuckles

Klaire: Perhaps.

Bryse: *looks at her*
My lady...

Klaire: *she isn't looking back at him*
Yeah?

Bryse: *he sighs, they both feel like they can't talk to each other*

Zach:*walking through the castle a guard tells him that a ship with an alligator on it's flag has just docked.
House Tumas. Thank you

Bryse: Perhaps we can go for a walk on the Great Pier once we return?

Klaire: *she looks at him, finally, as she's intrigued*
For what matter?

Bryse: Not a political one. The people already adore you, my dear.

Klaire: *she waits for his true answer

Bryse: ... Perhaps... We could bond. Possibly.

*they arrive at the Iron Keep

*Zach stands at the dock

*a tall, slim black woman with her hair in dreads down to her hips walks off the boat accompanied by a few soliders

Zach:My Lady
*drops to his knee and takes her hand and kisses it

Sharie:I am Sharie of House Tumas, First of my name. Lady of the Swamps and Daughter of the great Shakah, Defender of the Swamplands.

*Zach walks Sharie into the castle as he gets word that another guest has arrived

Zach:Just a moment my lady.
*he rushes to greet Bryse and Klaire

Klaire: ^I've had my life bound to his for 12 years.... and now he decides to 'bond'^
I would like that.
*she smiles
However I am going to archery with the fellow soldiers.

Bryse: Archery?

Klaire: *she shrugs
Nothing major, it's just a bet that was placed on me.

*Bryse doesn't follow*

Klaire: Um..
They are betting their coin on whether I can hit a bullseye.

Bryse: ... Is that more necessary than wanting to spend time with your Lord?

*Drake opens the door

*Zach comes outside the castle to wait for them to empty out of the carriage

(LOL I TRIED RIP IF I FAILED)

(does klaire need one too)

(Second of your name would be if you were named directly after your father/mother)
