who: @omerflorent when and where: the florent apartments within highgarden, following a council meeting which lucrezia had entered late. the meeting was discussing the risk of braavos claiming rosaria hightower, and pushing for her mother to be made regent of oldtown. she overhears something she wished she had not.

the room was not stifling hot, the crackling hearth only it's usual level, and yet there came a sense of heat that was stifling as the lady of the arbor remained sat upon the velvet recliner, listening distantly to the sounds of her husband's conversation with his cousin, all whilst she only pictured her own lifeless upon a slab. there was no denying the red puffiness within orbs of hazel, or the way in which her prayer mat had never been folded since they had arrived back home, or the pain in her knees for how long spent knelt in submission.

lucrezia redwyne did not want to look at her husband.

lucrezia prayed not for answers from the gods, but for comfort and strength; it was not on the gods to answer for the ability of human free will, after all. she prayed for answers from humans whose blood ran warm, and whose minds were fixed on one task. locating the former queen of the entire realm, the woman her family had walked through the seven layers of hell for; only in the end, to end up on the end of her blade. there had always been a small whisper in her mind that told her how the hightowers used the sails of the redwynes, and there had always been the other that protested they were kin.

lucrezia redwyne did not want to speak to her husband.

family honour, and respect, was paramount; even in times of conflict. there was a part of her that felt ashamed for forgetting such standards, considering garland had been murdered without the pair ever having the chance to make amends. her aunt, the last piece of her father, murdered for being a redwyne - it had not been simonetta who had flew the white flag, and conceded from the greens. it had been lucrezia's first act as ruling lady, the day tirius rowan brought her father's body home. what hurt her so, was the silence that came when she entered a room; a swift change in conversation. no doubt speaking of how stupid he had been, and how she wished to snap at them to continue.

"i'm moving rosie to the arbor."
