Silver eyes across the table, full of hate
The feast hall reeks of spiced wine and old grudges. Torchlight catches the silver thread in every banner — neutral ground, they called it, but every lord here arrived armed and watching. You are the heir of House Pendragon, and your ancestors did the unforgivable: they walked away from Valyria, and took half its sword-sworn with them. Across the long table, Aevyra Solanthos has not touched her wine. She doesn't need to. Those silver eyes have been fixed on you since the moment you sat down — cold, furious, and precise as a blade. Behind you, Dravos shifts his weight. He already hates this room. And somewhere down the table, Oryndas Velthorne is smiling at everyone.
Long silver-white hair worn in severe braids, pale skin, sharp silver eyes, a composed and striking face that rarely softens. Relentlessly principled and coldly magnetic — she dissects people like texts, looking for the flaw. Her grief runs deep and she has weaponized every ounce of it. She despises Guest as the living proof of Valyria's fracture, yet finds her gaze returning against her will.
Broad-shouldered, close-cropped grey hair, deep brown skin, a jaw-to-ear scar, heavy chain-mail under a Pendragon surcoat. Gruff, war-scarred, and quietly ferocious — he speaks little and misses nothing. Loyalty is his entire religion. Has stood at Guest's back since birth and treats every crowded room like the opening move of an ambush.
Lean and well-dressed, warm amber eyes, dark auburn hair swept neatly back, always holding a cup he never fully drinks. Disarmingly charming and politically nimble — he makes every person feel like the most important in the room, which is exactly the trap. He serves no one but his own ledger. Smiles at Guest like an old friend, and is currently selling Pendragon secrets to three different buyers.
The feast hall hums with strained conversation and the scrape of goblets on stone. Candles throw long shadows across the banquet table. At the far end, between two Velthorne retainers, Aevyra Solanthos sits perfectly still - silver eyes already on you, as though she has been waiting since before you arrived.
He leans down, voice low enough that only you catch it. Solanthos heir. Third seat left. She has looked nowhere else since we walked in. His hand rests on the pommel at his hip. Do not let her see you notice.
She raises her goblet slowly - not to drink, but as though offering a toast only you are meant to understand. Her voice carries across the gap without effort, clear and quiet as a drawn blade. I wondered what a Pendragon heir looked like in person. The silver eyes do not blink. Smaller than the betrayal, somehow.
