“i am so bored,” aurelio’s statement sounded a lot like a whine - which to be fair, it pretty much was, the loud sigh that followed only further adding to the brattiness of his demeanor. “i don’t think i’ve ever been so bored,” he continued, for good measure, “tell me lord baratheon - what is one meant to do for fun around here?”

what about the tarts? have you tried those yet? i’ve heard they’re a rarity with all those prying eyes and hands that want them!

“i’ve tried so much food! of course i’ve had tarts! i remember this absolutely delightful blackberry tart. it was both tart and sweet, it was incredible. i’d love to try another one.”

"i hope this is allowed,” aurelio muttered as he wrapped his arms around his cousin - embracing her tightly, he’d know soon enough if it wasn’t - the guards had backed off to allow them some privacy but they remained very close. “i’ve missed you shaera,” he whispered, allowing the hug to linger a few seconds before ultimately stepping back.

"i’ll be the first to admit- i really wasn’t sure what to expect of westeros,” aurelio's initial statement was meant to be an ice breaker of sorts, a lead-in to the more important conversation to come. it was also not entirely truthful, he’d spent quite a considerable amount of time imaging what westeros was like. he meant it as more - he wasn’t sure what to expect on his arrival, especially when he took into consideration the events that had led to that arrival. “i like it,” he continued almost immediately, though this time a smile appeared on his face, “or at least, what i’ve seen so far,” which admittedly, wasn’t much. apart from a few various ports, he’d only ever been to staerdale. “the food has been pretty good too,” this time he added a laugh.

Do you have an opinion about new Valyria?

“i really don’t know how i feel about it, if i’m honest. it’s rather pretentious, the more i think about it. new valyria? i am sure the king is a lovely man, but how does he know what valyria was like? yeah i’m sure you can read about it from books - but you can’t just recreate something based on what you read in a book. it’s hard not to feel like he’s trying to ignore the existence of the free cities - which were literally founded by the freefold. if anywhere should be called new valyria - i would think it would be the free cities. but i’m sure he won’t care about my opinion.”

Have had a chance to try the pastries yet?

“are you kidding? i think my first meal here was comprised entirely of pastries. and i’ve had plenty since then. i’ve been rolling in pastries. and every day it seems like there’s a new one to try. it’s spectacular. the other day i had these sweet biscuits - which there’s nothing special about a biscuit. it’s a biscuit. but they were paired with this delightful fig jam. i could have ate the entire plate, had there not been so many other foods to try.”

This is a very important question. Do you know the muffin man?

"i used to frequent this one bakery in lys, but the baker specialized in fruit tarts. i’m not even sure he sold muffins. we would have them at home of course, but i’m not sure i know who made them. is this someone i should know? is there a man wandering around westeros that’s known for the muffins he makes? can you tell me where to find him? i would love to try some.”

biography -

aurelio is the son of brea moragos, the younger sister of doreah moraqos and an unnamed merchant. by the time of her pregnancy, brea had already been estranged from her family for a number of years. since she’d been on her own for so long, she strongly felt she didn’t need any help raising her son. 

towards the end of her pregnancy, aurelio’s father would catch cold feet and abandon her in the middle of the night. he didn’t bother leaving a note, but he did take all of her money with him.

scared and alone - brea turned to the only person she could trust, her older sister doreah. and although the sisters hadn’t spoken, let alone seen each other in years she was taken in by doreah and her husband lotho. 

she would die in child birth less than a fortnight later, having never fully reconnected with her family. her son, whom she named aurelio would be adopted by doreah and lotho and raised alongside their daughter. 

aurelio has always known the truth of his parentage and aside from some resentment towards the moragos family, he’s never been bothered by it. as far as he’s concerned he’s a rogare. 

he was raised like a member of the rogare family - immersed in the world of ships and war at an early age. he never had much interest for the war councils he would attend, but because it meant something to lotho he would feign interest.

the same could be said for his weapons training, it just never held much of an interest to him but he made an effort for lotho’s sake ! and it turns out, he’s pretty good with a sword. he just doesn’t go out of his way looking for an opportunity to use it.

but the one thing he never had to fake was his love for the world of sailing ! he fucking loves it ! i’m not sure what else to say, this man was born for the open sea !

despite growing up in a sailing focused family - most of aurelio’s life has been spent in lys. he’s traveled to the other free cities and visited a few ports of westeros, but that’s about all. 

he was living his best life in lys when the news of what happened at the wedding reached him. to say he was livid was somewhat of an understatement, but he was held off until ren’s return to lys.

it would be wrong to say he was excited to visit westeros - considering everything that had happened, but he sort of is excited. it’s a whole new world that he gets to explore and that’s pretty cool if you ask him. 

fun facts -

say it with me - this man is a himbo ! H-I-M-B-O. i’m talking no thoughts head empty 90% of the time. 

if westeros had starbucks - he’d be a pumpkin spice latte bitch. i know it in my heart. do with that what you will. 

he absolutely comes off as self-indulgent and i don’t think he sees a problem with that. but he’s not like the worst guy you’ll ever meet. actually, all things considered he’s pretty nice. he doesn’t set out to have negative interactions, unless provoked to the point of having no other option. 

he’s got a taste for the finer things in life. this man is boujee. very much a creature of comfort - he loves his silk sheets and fancy clothes but he also loves spending time outdoors !! especially anywhere involving water !

just like ariel, he’s a collector of pretty much anything he finds cool. money has never really been an issue for him so he has definitely bought a lot of things that’ve caught his interest but also just cool junk he finds. it’s somewhat of a problem.

he’s trained with a sword and honestly pretty damn good at it - but does he carry a sword? absolutely not. it’s heavy, in the way, clashes with his outfits. i could go on but you get the picture. he does keep a knife concealed on his person most of the time. but he dreads using it.

i think it goes without saying that he’s a lover of food. some of his favorites include: lemons, figs, blood oranges, persimmons, pomegranates. he really likes fruits lmao. and of course anything made out of said fruits. he’s also got a fairly large sweet tooth.

wanted connections -

new friendships. he’s relatively new to westeros so he doesn’t know many people ! but he is generally a pretty lady back, friendly dude. he likes to meet new people. 

old friendships. so while aurelio hasn’t spent much time on westeros, he has visited some of the various ports ! i think it would be cool if he met someone during one of these visits. and who knows maybe they kept in touch !

hookups/flings. a man does have needs. he also firmly believes its a good way to get to know someone. 

i’m honestly open to any sort of connections/dynamics ! i feel like there are definitely plenty of people who wouldn’t trust him and that could be fun to explore ! because he really doesn’t have any ulterior motives.
