#Brayden: Rowan Hartwell

[sangue-e-luce]

Brayden and Rowan  ( @theartofruling​)

Brayden had been bored. Sure there were always people coming in and out of the White Orchid. But he was disappointed that all of the exciting things seemed to be happening in the other courts. He decided to hang around the palace when he heard there would be visitors from other courts. Surely the would have the best gossip, maybe he would see a few friends. 

He settled himself in one of the corridors under the guise of waiting for Kael. In reality he was people watching and snooping. He smiled when he saw Rowan Hartwell walking down the hall. He sat his glass down and jumped up to walk beside her.  

“Lady Hartwell, it’s so good to see you.”  Brayden smiled. “It’s been crazy lately. Can you believe the Humans killed Lysander? Such a shame.  To kill such a beautiful man in cold blood like that.”

He knew that he was probably getting on Rowan’s nerves. She seemed stressed out when it came to being a High Lady. “How have you been? I hope you’re not looking into an arranged marriage now. I don’t think a marriage is going to save anyone from someone sneaking into their bedroom in the middle of the night.”

Brayden & Rowen ( @theartofruling​)

Location: The Night Court 

There was no one who got under his skin like the high lady of the day court. Although he was sure he did the very same thing to her. Each run in with her left the both of them angry and frustrated, and in the same bed a few hours later. He hadn’t been expecting to run into her that day. He had just gone to the palace because he was bored, and there was usually some drama there that would entertain him. 

When he saw Rowan walking down the corridor towards him he rolled his eyes. He was hoping for something juicer or a chance to flirt with Gabriel, but maybe this would be just as entertaining.

 “Lady Hartwell, I wasn’t aware you would be visiting our court today? I thought the high lords actually had work to do and didn’t have time for visits to other courts. Isn’t that what those council meetings are for?” He leaned in closer to whisper in her ear. “You know you could have just said you missed me.”
