turned to look him
“you think me calculated, my prince?”
she never considered an ulterior motive
at least not subconsciously
as hard as she tried
she couldn’t stop the slight blush
rising to her cheeks…
taken aback, but 𝒷𝑒𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒸𝒽𝑒𝒹
by prince aemond’s unusual charm
⠀⠀
the prince didn't know
how to annoy without being
bitter.
this was also a problem when
someone interested him a little
too much; he didn't know
how to approach without
being dogmatic.
"are you wandering this corridor
looking to get lost, or have you
planned something?"

then a small laugh
not mocking, but in disbelief
admiration almost
“snow? i-“
it’s not often she’s left speechless
her eyes fell to where his hand
now rested on the pommel of
his sword
unsure if his candor came out
of hope or fear
blinking, the knight felt slightly
uneasy. suspecting his past
would catch up with him sooner
or later, his hands instinctively
slid around the pommel of his
sword, nervous.
"it is me, snow."
he held his head high and his
shoulders straight.

a small smirk on her face
“oh yes i’m well aware.
i apologize for not cowering
like most young ladies”
⠀⠀
with a confident, inquisitive step,
he caught up with her, sliding his
hands behind his back once more.
"are you aware that you are on 𝘰𝘶𝘳

winterfell. be careful what you say."

the sights, sounds and smells
so foreign to her
before turning to the knight beside her
“the journey was quite long, i did not expect to be so, but it’s silly of me
based on where 𝖜𝖊 grew up,
and my name is lady nyssa stark, but
please call me 𝓷𝔂𝓼𝓼𝓪” she said smiling
he extended a hand towards
the doors leading inside the keep.
"follow me. I have orders
to show you your chambers."

both began to walk inside,
their footsteps echoing in the
corridors, adding to the clink metal

of the prince’s behavior and temper
she hadn’t expected him to be
so temperamental
“oh i am perfectly capable
of moving.
i just don’t understand what
your issue with me is,” she said
raising her eyebrows and
crossing her arms across her chest
⠀⠀
aerion raised an eyebrow, noticing
that the young woman was still
inside the library. turning a few
pages with his fingers, he finally frowned.
"are you deaf? unable to move?"
his lilac eyes fixed on his book,
glaring at her without hesitation.﹙...﹚

she was still getting accustomed

she turned to start walking away

"𝘩𝘮?"
his face tilted mischievously
to one side.
"typical of a 𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒓.

“oh forgive me my prince,”
a hint of sarcasm in her voice
as if he were not the one
walking around the keep,
mind elsewhere
⠀⠀
his brows furrowed, his jaw tightened.
"𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 where you are going."
he didn't hesitate to appear haughty,
dismayed at having almost bumped
into a lady.
wasn't she capable of watching

a flash of recognition between them

the idea of being
seen, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 . . .
sent a shiver down his spine.
he waited, shoulders straight,
regretting every passing
second.
he wished things had
been different. ser
criston could have
greeted the starks instead,
right?
he wondered if they
had done it on purpose.
