! !!OPEN!! !

"-yet instead of rising up to meet it, we encourage this fear," The young blonde woman murmurs to an older middle aged woman as they walked through the streets of King's Landing. The youger woman held a basket filled with fish under one arm while the older woman held another basket full of vegitables and fruit beneath one arm.

" You shouldn't speak so negativly, Ariella, such words lower the morale of all people," the Old woman chastisizes, waving a bony finger at the 'Ariella' girl.

" It's true," Ariella murmurs, her blue eyes wandering over the mostly empty street," We are losin because we kept pushing down on the peoples' fears... Now look at us, the pressure has recoiled and is snapping back into our faces," She looks away, suddenly looking exhausted," I'm... Afraid, Rhea.."

The old woman stares at her sympathy,"... We still have Enzio at our side." She suggest weakly

" Can he hold back three armies?" Ariella counters bitterly, closing her eyes

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Brinn Holloway, a knight, still very young, was walking down the street. It was blazing hot in his armor and he felt as though he might keel over, but of course, a knight never complains. His sword, sheathed at his side, clanked against the metal with every step.

He'd managed to escape his strange captors, a brother-sister pair who perplexed him, a while back and now he was trying to go through life normally.

[CrimsonMoon]

Ariella seemed too distracted to notice the knight, her gaze clouded," The Martells have done a good job but... Now the war is right outside... What will happen to us?" She murmurs and sniffs weakly, feeling tears begin to rise," what will happen to the people who are our supporters? The civilians?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Her voice caught his attention, floating over the sound of the crowd like dandelion wishes. Brinn glanced up, pushing the visor on his helmet up so that he could see clearly, "Ariella?" Brinn asked, sounding a bit uncertain at first.

[CrimsonMoon]

Ariella pauses at her name being called and looks around in confusion, the old woman with her immediately looking tense and rasping," Keep walking.. Come on!"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Wait, Ariella!" Brinn started pushing through the crowd, ignoring the grumbles of annoyed townspeople. He could see her, she wasn't that far. Didn't she hear him?

[CrimsonMoon]

She recognized the voice and opened her mouth to call back but her maid quickly convinces her otherwise by slapping a hand over her mouth as she is hustled along

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Brinn frowned and moved a little faster, shoving people out of his way. Damn it, why wasn't she answering him? Perhaps she didn't realize who he was..?

[CrimsonMoon]

Ariella finally pushes the maid away and calls," Brinn?!" He voice filled with hope... He was still alive... He was still alive...

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Brinn smiled and waved his hand. She did remember him! "Ariella, over here!"

[CrimsonMoon]

Ariella immediately pushes through the crowd toward his voice, feeling tears well up in her blue eyes in relief," Brinn.." She calls in a shakey voice, finding the armor from which the voice came from and wrapping her arms around him

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Brinn laughed and hugged her back, spinning her around, "It's so great to see you again, Ariella."

[CrimsonMoon]

She hugs him as tightly as the armor would allow," How did you escape?" She gasps, tears suddenly flowing from her eyes

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He pulled off his helmet, shaking out his shaggy blonde hair. There was a cut from his temple to his hairline that was an angry pink and healing over, "Well, it wasn't easy, but I managed."

[CrimsonMoon]

She grins and kisses him lightly, blushing slight but too happy to really care at the moment," Brinn... Everyone said the Greyjoy boy had killed you... Enzio looked everywhere for you but couldn't find you!"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "Yeah, sorry about that. I was wounded when I escaped and I sort of fell off the radar to take care of it. But I'm definitely not dead," Brinn smiled, his cheeks a light pink.

[CrimsonMoon]

She sniffs and takes his hand," Come on... We have to get back to the keep, tell everyone the news!" She grins, pulling him along

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Brinn chuckled and shrugged one shoulder, "Okay, let's go. It's not really /that/ big of a deal."

[CrimsonMoon]

" You're ALIVE! That's a big deal... For me," she blushes slightly, beginning to lead him along

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Brinn tucked his chin down and smiled, looking bashful, "Thank you, I appreciate your concern, Ariella."
