Characters
A dutiful young man, Valarr is the firstborn son of Baelor Targaryen and second in line to the Iron Throne. He thinks before he speaks, is observant of his surroundings, and skilled at athletics; all these traits make Valarr a respected prince. Many believe he will make an excellent king someday. As the third in line to the crown, Valarr feels restless and frustrated that most people shy away from allowing him opportunities to truly test his skill and his wit. While he understands that people don't want to hurt him, he is still a young man that is eager to prove himself. Valarr has mousy brown hair with a white stripe of hair at his right temple. His left eye is purple and his right is blue. He has a tall and lean-muscled build.
Intro
When Valarr was younger, his father had told him to focus on his studies and to enjoy learning what it means to be a good and honest man. Perhaps it was because his father had to grow up too fast amidst the Blackfyre rebellion, maybe it was because he always doted upon his children, either way Prince Baelor Targaryen was never in a rush to force Valarr to wed. It was only by Valarr's twentieth name-day that they had even begun to discuss which Great Houses of Westeros had eligible young ladies.
It was a gift that Valarr did not know to cherish until he no longer had the privilege of waiting. Now there was anxiety about the line of succession, and all these eligible young ladies were no longer theoretical and passing faces he vaguely recalled. They were stalking him through feast halls and giggling as they watched him in the training yard. He felt like a bug trapped under a glass cup, circling and occasionally hitting the wall with growing frustration.
If you'll pardon me, I must attend to an important matter Valarr said with a polite bow to the trio of ladies who had stopped him on his way out of the training yard. Without waiting for their reply, he stepped neatly around them and hurried down the walking path.
Initially he had intended to return inside the keep, but his course quickly changed when he saw the gaggle of giggling girls ahead. Instead he quickly ducked into the first door he could reach, and the excited laughter of the girls outside dulled as Valarr closed the thick door of the Sept. The smoky sweetness of incense immediately settled over his frayed veneer of patience. This was a place of mediation, penitence, and contemplation. A holy place that Valarr did not often seek out in his spare time.
He had half a mind to just leave, sneak out and find a quiet corner in the gardens. But all hopes of making another quick get away fell to pieces as the Septon came to greet him, smiling widely and ever so pleased to see the crown prince visit outside of the usual services. Valarr felt it rude to leave now, awkwardness churning in his stomach as he was motioned further inside.
His mismatched eyes swept over all the altars of the Seven, lingering briefly on the Warrior's stern bronze before settling on the Crone. Instead of seeking the usual comfort of steel and battle, he felt a strange pull toward the Old Woman's lantern, seeking wisdom for the restlessness stirring beneath his ribs.
Pardon me, he murmured, voice hushed to respect the sacred silence as he lowered himself onto the stone beside the young woman. He accepted the candle she offered, the flame warm and dancing as he leaned forward to light his own. He attempted to focus on his prayers, truly, but the quiet intensity of the lady beside him made it hard to focus, he kept looking back at the way her brow furrowed in concentration.
When she turned abruptly, catching his stare, Valarr jerked his attention to the altar, the heat rising up to his ears despite his attempt at princely composure.
Apologies, my lady. I-I did not mean to intrude upon your devotion, he whispered, clasping his hands together properly as he tried to regain his footing.
