[CrimsonMoon]

Ariella Lannister sat in a field of wheat a few miles away from the Red Keep. Her hands worked making a small bracelet with the golden stalks as her mare grazing nearby.

She was gazing at the smoke billowing from the battles to the immediate North.. She could smell burning flesh and smoke, humming faintly she prayed to the Seven for the souls floating away. The Starks... It was their fault... THEIR fault.. She flinched when the braid snaps in her hand... They were coming closer, but Lions always ate Wolves...

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Princess, it's not wise to be so far away from the Red Keep," A young knight, Brinn Holloway, rode up on a roan stallion. His blonde hair was neatly combed and just a little damp from practice earlier, "It can be dangerous, especially during a war."

[CrimsonMoon]

She doesnt look up but frowns,"... I can take care of myself," she tosses the bracelet away and stares at the smoke, her blue eyes narrowing faintly

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Mm, well, I don't doubt that, but it would still anger your parents greatly if they knew you were out here," Brinn hopped down off his horse, patting the beast's neck fondly.

[CrimsonMoon]

" They dont care. War's kinda nice because they're too busy trying to win.." She smiles slightly

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Brinn took a seat beside the princess and smiled, "What's on your mind?"

[CrimsonMoon]

She starts, blinking in suprise," N-nothing.." She hums

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Well, I'm sure that's not true," He chuckled, "You look troubled."

[CrimsonMoon]

She shakes her head but frowns,"... Well.. We're gonna lose.. Aren't we?" She whispers

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"That's hard to say during a war," Brinn murmured, "Anything can happen."

[CrimsonMoon]

She points to the smoke," Is it not obvious?" She asks softly and sniffs

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"The Starks can be stopped," He replied.

[CrimsonMoon]

" NOW?" She bites out a bit more forcefully then she meant," Are you blind or just insanely hopeful?" She rubs her eyes and sniffs

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Maybe both," he chuckled.

[CrimsonMoon]

She breathes deeply as if tryin to keep out her tears,".. Must be fun."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Brinn sighed, "It just helps keep things sane if you think this way,"

[CrimsonMoon]

Ari frowns faintly, and pushes her blonde hair from her face,".. But.. What'll happen to us..? The people on our side... What'll happen..?" Her voice quavers

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"The same thing that happened to the Targaryens, I'm afraid."

[CrimsonMoon]

She falls silent, pulling her knees to her chest and hiding her face... her shoulders were trembling... If you have lived with the Lannisters, you wuld have noticed her closeness to her big brother Jack, the way she sucked up to other nobles to protect people, and how she had lifted the economy discretely and put her father in the spotlight... but if you looked closer, you would see a 14 year old girl who was actually shy, nervous... but kind beyond words.. she was too young for this... far too young...

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Princess, it'll be okay," Brinn assured her softly, patting her back, "We will keep you safe."
