The Wedding Feast for Milo and Aurora

[Flex]

"Surely you should be able to decide whom you wish to marry?" Euric asked, mildly inquisitive. "You are Aurora's younger sister so it should not be too important whom you take as a man."

[Edric Stark]

"I'm a political puppet. Being her sister only makes me be able to choose between lords or heirs she thinks would make a good allies." Ariadne said, keeping her smile on her face.

[Flex]

"Rebel." Euric replied amusedly. "I am sure there is something you can do about it."

[Edric Stark]

"Why? Marriage doesn't mean anything but a political alliance anyway, these days.."

[Flex]

"I forget, you are Dornish." Euric answered with a smirk. "Not to cause offense. Though surely your husband will wish you to be loyal to him?"

[Edric Stark]

"But so are you. Dayne." She bit her lip. "What he won't know, won't hurt him, right?"

[Flex]

Euric laughed. "It would take a keen man no doubt." He led Ariadne away from the dance floor and retrieved his wine. "Anyway, enough of such a touching subject. What do you spend your time doing at Sunspear?"

[Edric Stark]

"At the time you were all busy saving the realm? Just spending time with my friends and brother and the such, you know."

[Flex]

"A much more relaxing prospect than spending what seemed like eons above the Wall, fighting demons in the snow." Euric answered with a smile, finishing his wine. "Though now I find myself unfit for peace..."

[Edric Stark]

"Where is your betrothed anyway..?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. She had heard something about 'her being sent away for safety', but nothing more.

[Flex]

"Away, for her own safety." Euric replied with a sardonic voice. "Apparently a man of my stature is not fit to protect a young lady..."

[Edric Stark]

"Oh well. I've never been in love, therefore I don't quite know what you're talking about."
She raised her glass, however. "Let us hope she'll have a quick return."

[Flex]

Euric smiled. "Yes, though my glass is empty." He looked down and shook his head. "Well it is the instinct of every man to protect a lady. And when that opportunity is taken away then... well, it doesn't matter."

[Edric Stark]

Ariadne felt the urge to roll her eyes so she drank the rest of her wine instead.She put away the empty glass and felt a flush creeping up her neck.

"How about a walk?" she asked, turning to the lord Dayne again.

[Flex]

Euric's mouth twitched slightly. "I'd be glad to accompany you." He finally said, linking arms with Ariadne, all the while wondering if this was one of Aurora's ploys.
