Gulltown meeting - Princess Aurora

[Marie]

Aurora Martell is summoned to meet the queen.

[The Flint]

The Princess Aurora Martell entered her meeting wearing a wrap of thin silks the colors of bronze and orange. The outfit managed to be both incredibly revealing while still giving the appearance of hiding the Dornish woman within its depths.

"Your Grace," She says, with a wide smile of white teeth.

[Marie]

"Princess Aurora," Rhaenys said. "It 's good to see you. I hope Ser Milo has been attentive to your needs since he and I have been here?"

[The Flint]

"Most attentive your grace," Aurora replied, her smiled unchanging.

[Marie]

"i'm glad of it. Husbands should be attentive to their wives," Rhaenys said. "Do you mind me asking why you came here? I did not know you had a friendship with Lord Royce."

[The Flint]

Aurora smiled, "I imagine for much the same reason you are here your grace."

[Marie]

"And why do you think I'm here"? Rhaenys asked.

[The Flint]

"To keep your eye on things and find out who stands where?" The Princess of Dorne says, as she very calmly brushes back the fabric, to show a slender tanned wrist before settling her hands on the arm of her chair.

[Marie]

"yes, that was my intention," Rhaenys murmurd. "So, do you know the other Lords Paramount well?"

[The Smith]

"Two are my uncles, and I know them as well as distant kin can know one another." She smiled, "And do you?"

[Marie]

"Not wellm, and most of waht I know of them is not favourable," Rhaenys said with a little sigh. "I do not believe any of them but Lady Stark have any regard for me whatsoever. I regret it; I very much wish for good relations between us all."

[The Smith]

"I have no ill will for you, but neither would I consider you a friend." Aurora said, "You have hardly extended your hand to me before now."

[Marie]

Rhaenys suppressed the pang of unease she felt. She would not take the blame for everything.

"I regret it," she said. "I would not have you think I slighted House Martell. If I have offended you in any way it was by no means intentional. I had hoped that my sister Liliyana's marriage to your brother Martyne would allow her to foster connections with yourself and your kin. I, unfortunately, have been somewhat preoccupied with the more...restless of my lords. That being so, I felt myself obliged to leave the others, whose cpnduct does not concern me, to their own devices."

[The Smith]

Aurora nodded, "I myself was quite busy grieving for my father, and attempting to locate the parties responsible for such a graphic crime. I had thought you might have had some concerns about that crime too, but you seemed willing to move past it with nary a discussion." Her mouth tightened.

[Marie]

"I thought you would come to me if you needed assistance," Rhaenys said. "I did not wish to intrude upon your grief and your father, well, he and I were not close. I thought he would not have wanted me to involve myself, so I stayed away. I assume then that you did not find the culprit?"
