Rhaenys' Tent

[Marie]

Tent of the new queen. Anyone who wants entrance must first get past one of her bodyguards.

Alysanne woke up to find that her armor was lying on the tent floor and there were furs covering her. She woke Caelia and ordered a bath. Just to see if she was right, Alysanne briefly walked out her tent to see Ser Joseff standing there.
"I should have known it was you," she smiled weakly.
Joseff gave her a bow, "I know what sleeping with your armor feels like,".

After the bath Caelia brushed her long hair and helped her dress. Thinking it absurd to wear a dress in a military camp, she wore breeches, a silken shirt and some leather boots instead, went out, took drowsy Ser Gerald from his tent and headed towards her sisters pavilion.

As Rhaenys' sister, Alysanne was one of a very few people allowed into the tent without being challenged. Rhaenys had stripped off her armour and washed the grime from her face and hands, though her hair was in need of a wash. She had a smile for her sister though.

"Little sister!" She cried. "Sit with me. Are you hungry? I can have food sent for."

[Edric Stark]

Alysanne frowned but took a seat.
"A breakfast wouldn't hurt, sister. And, if you may, what are our next plans, Your Grace?"

[The Smith]

Liliyanna Targaryen arrived at her sister's camp site. She was wearing an amber wool dress, and thick blue cloak.

[Edric Stark]

"Hello sister, how are you faring?"

[The Smith]

Liliyanna smiled tightly at Alysanne, "I have been with the Ela and Rhod. I do not think he will ever fly again. And her eyes." She breathed in deep, and touched her eyes, "It does not look good."

Saenarys entered the tent, somber and grim looking, though he brightened to see his younger sisters.

"Here you are, my sisters, save Kyma. But where is she?"

[Edric Stark]

"At the camp somewhere, surely," guessed Alysanne.

"It has been too long." Saenarys said, moving to hug each of them in turn.

"I am sorry for my absence, though it appears you girls have grown into fine warriors in my leave." His manner of speech was strange, as if he hadn't used their tongue in some time. His cadence hurried, the pauses shorter than they should have sounded.

[The Smith]

Liliyanna glanced at Saenarys and then looked away staring outside. She politely evaded his hug.

[Deleted]

Saenarys noticed Liliyanna's cold indifference.

"Lili. Sister. I missed you overmuch." His pale features glowed in the light of the fire. "Have you not been well?"

[The Smith]

"It is a dark day, Saenarys." Liliyanna replied, "We have payed a horrible price."

[Edric Stark]

"Where the hell have you been?"

[Deleted]

Saenarys sighed, and moved to her left.

"Yes, Sister, but we have also gained. War is the ultimate reaver. It is indiscriminate. One need not even wish for, or participate to be an adversary. It is how war remains."

To Alysanne, he frowned a bit.

"I'm sorry I left you all without a word of goodbye, but I had to leave. Father pushed it upon me." He traced the tattoos on his arm gingerly with his index finger. "I have been many places, and many people in the past few years. It would be easier to say where I have not been."

[Edric Stark]

"Where haven't you been then?" she asked stubbornly.
