     Looking at Lyanna Stark felt much like looking at anunsettling mirror. Their shared grey eyes, dark hair, sunless skin and slenderbodies heralded their kinship, however distantly. Though the mirror was harderand colder than the reality, carrying with her a past of harship and sorrowthat Alys was yet to experience, and hopefully never would. Of all the Starkswho, more or less, welcomed her to their home, the lady in question had beenthe quietest, and the most distant.

     “Lady Lyanna.” Her greeting was awkwardto say the least, her words coming out as less like a courtesy and more like amumble. Should she curtsy? No, that would feel too formal for a place where NedStark assured her was her ‘new home.’ Besides, if she curtsied every time shestumbled upon a Stark, it would take her the whole day to get anywhere in thecastle. So she merely stood there, fidgeting and shuffling her feet, unable tokeep their eye contact for long.

                t'is not that she is cold, but rather guarded ;; life experience comes at a price && lady has always been protective of kin yet, now, she knows that which could happen, loath to see member of family experience similar. no doubt lingers within gilded bones that alys means no harm yet such is something not easily turned off. knowledge child shall make nephew happy alight within very bones yet it is all the same.   (  she has grown harder ;; lifetime of experience obtained by sixteenth year, held within fragility of adolescent palms. secrets guarded so very closely to this day.  )

                 ❛     alys.     ❜          there is pebble within shoe && desire to grimace as weight shifts && it goes pressed ‘gainst heel is fought  ;; eggshells scattered && she does not know where to step. own betrothed, those of siblings one thing, this so wholly different ;; connection removed as opposed to direct && there is no need to make SHE WOLF happy to get good word received or relayed.   (  she does not matter, truly, in this arrangement ;; status foreign.  )

PACING RHYTHMS

i am not your apocalypse, i am not your salvation, my body is a kingdom meant only for a queen. i will take your crown, i will shape your stars, my life might not be my own but yours ?? i will make it so !! immortality is an escape, absolution from revolution, blessed by dying breaths of kings who lived too long. you called me an angel, blessed me with candle-bright lies. i will make angels fall, i will burn your kingdom down. immortality belongs to the dead, so bury me with my crown.

IN HER VEINS !!
