hadriel_logs | Event Log: Home Sweet Home

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the Home Sweet Home event
Where: All over the city
When: June 20th-July 2nd
Warnings: Nothing bad could ever happen now that you're home

It could happen at any moment- any action you do could be cut short by a sudden trancelike state, and so hopefully it happens when you're safe in your surroundings. And of course you're safe... after all, what could happen to you now that you're finally home?

Whether you don't remember Hadriel at all, or you just believe that this entire ordeal is over, you're home for good now, which is something worth celebrating. What happens in your home? Are you treated like royalty or just cast aside and forgotten? How are your friends doing? Your family? Everything is just as it should be and it's easy to get lost in it, even for an unlucky onlooker who may find themselves drawn into your trance and able to interact with you as you mill about your world and your reality.

Snapping out of it is the only way to end this trance, and you've got to eat and sleep at some point, but how can you go back now that you've been teased with what you desire (or maybe even fear) the most?

Then I shall do my best to be as friendly as possible!

[it was difficult to live in Cersei's shadow. the only time Margaery was completely free of her was when she spent her time with her ladies, all cousins to one degree or another. now all dead]

Are there any likely candidates for the role? Or have your . . . experiences put you off of marriage.

[Cersei had Qyburn who had eyes and ears everywhere, plotting to keep Cersei in her place]

None so likely. Just Rothana. Who won't have me.

[Kelson is still hopeful he can change her mind, but that is a fruitless hope he can't get rid of. She will not change her mind. He will however spend the next three and half years pining and praying over the rejection. No means no Kelson.]

I'm afraid my experiences have little to do with my actual marriage. I knew I would have to marry for the crown, and do my duty, but now, knowing love, I don't want too. But want has nothing to do with it.

After. . . hearing her reasons, I cannot say that I blame her. [she says as gently as possible.

even kings can't have everything they desire]

Love is a luxury kings and queens cannot afford. I didn't love any of my husbands and none but Tommen loved me. If you're fortunate, you'll find a woman who makes you feel content. Satisfied that, though it may not be your heart's desire, it is pleasant enough.

I don't suppose you'd help me convince her otherwise then.

[Kelson scowled at her, not getting the answer he wanted. He knew intellectually he couldn't have everything he wanted. Life hadn't been easy so far, but now he finally found something he really wanted. Someone who completely roused him physically, magically and intellectually. But he couldn't.]

I suppose I should be happy with contentment. I'm not, but I should be.

I'm afraid I can't. She's made her decision. I'm sorry. [she says apologetically.

and she had someone who completely roused her, physically and intellectually, in Matt but the so-called gods took him away from her anyway. she hopes that she'll be able to join him in his world, but knows better to count on hope]

Who is happy with mere contentment? We always want something more, but something more isn't always possible.

Kelson scowled, his lips pressed together, eyes flashing irritated.]

I'm getting really quite tired of hearing that.

[Why did it have to be so painful? But he couldn't just accept it and move on. He knew he had too, but was unable. And there would be a flood of tears when he finally had no choice.]

[while she remains calm]

I'd imagine you are. However, that doesn't change the situation.

[matters of the heart are often painful, especially when it comes to thwarted love]

[Kelson stood there, unwilling to budge on his position, knowing it was unassailable but his jaw was tight nonetheless. No, he could not do this, do not make him.]

Not yet. I might still sway her.

[...ugh, he's being stubborn. does she really want to have this argument right now? goodness knows they'll have to have it eventually, but she'd rather not do it when they're both under the influence of the so-called gods]

Perhaps?

Now, about dinner. Is there something I should change into or is what I'm wearing appropriate?

[Kelson opened his mouth and closed it. No. Quite not.

I'll have some of the ladies find you something to wear. I'm sure we can find you something suitible that will fit you nicely.

[Most likely something she would not like. Something sleeved and with a neckline up to her, well, neck. He wouldn't push the veil at least.]

[what? he knows well that this is one of her tamer gowns. the neckline isn't nearly down to her navel. and she doesn't like the idea of "suitable," but it's his home, so she'll at least try to play along]

Very well. Any color but red. I could live a thousand years and still be sick of Lannister red.

[sleeved and with a high neckline. she's doomed to wear something like what she wore when she pretended to be a penitent. at least there's no veil, then she'd look like a Septa!]

[He's quite pleased she wore this gown actually, considering just how decent it was compared to what she could have worn. But for Gwyneddian culture? It was far from tame. ]

Don't worry, Haldane crimson seems close enough to Lannister red that no one would dare put you in it. Blue or yellow is probably a safe color on you though, might look quite fetching.

[Kelson would like to think the ladies at his court were much more fashionable than a Septa!]

[true, she could have worn the one with no back or with cutouts at the midriff]

Blue, I think. I've always looked my best in blue. It works well with the color of my eyes.

[Septas wore high necked dresses with veils. and Margaery has had her fill of Septas]

[The entire kingdom might have been scandalized! He could always tell people she's from the Connait or something.]

Well then, I can see about finding you some blue dresses.

In the meantime, thank you for allowing me to take my mind of my mother.

[her dresses caused quite a stir in King's Landing as it was. Cersei certainly hated them, which only led to her asking for lower necklines]

Thank you. I'm sure I'll find something I'll like.

[she places a hand on his upper arm]

It was the least I could do.

[Well she quite knew how to use her appearance to her advantage at least.]

I'll send some ladies up to you then.

And I shall see you later tonight.

[she was taught how to at her grandmother's knee when she was a little girl and the lessons only progressed from there]

Thank you. It will be nice to have ladies again, if only for a short time.

I look forward to it.
