[Video] Seelie Locked

[dyingisnotdead]

[Loras appears in the locket, his hair a mess of golden curls. He has started to grow some facial hair now, it seems. It makes him appear older. It's him attempting something to appear more worthy of the position he finds himself in, now.

There is some false cheer in him, now, but unless they know him, they most likely won't see it. He has been playing this charm game is entire life, after all. How many people know his true self here, these days?]

My name is Loras Tyrell; many of you know me already, but I wished to extend a welcome to all of those you who have newly arrived. I know that it can be difficult to adjust, but many people here will be willing to assist you, if you only ask for it.

On that note, let me extend you all a welcome to the Cothromach. We are a city in the Spineback Mountains, not entirely far from Caer Glaem.

[He realizes he hasn't spoken to everyone since Sansa left, since the meeting of the Shields, so he must--]

The city's ruler recently left, and I will be ruling now, in her stead.

[Margaery would be laughing, right now, if she could see him.]

Now that I will be spending most of my time in Cothromach, I need to find someone to take over my position at the White Tower. It functions as one of the first line of defense for Caer Glaem; an outlook, to watch for any possible dangers. If any of you would like the position, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Also,

[He sighs, his charm faltering for a moment.]

I confess that I will need assistance while we transition. I have many wonderful advisers, but if any of you newcomers have political talent, I would like to speak with you.

Where I come from, many rulers have small councils. I would like to institute that, for Cothromach.

I am not so prideful not to know to ask for help, when needed.

Do you need to assure me of their behavior?

[He quirks an eyebrow.]

Are they normally not on their best behavior?

Video; nahhh that was a bit much!

[red_branch]

I've set forth measures to make sure they're disciplined.

The whole of them might spit and irritate you, but for the most part--they're the pool I've chosen to look for a 'hero' among. They won't disappoint you.

[dyingisnotdead]

They are under your guidance, so if anything happens, it will be you who I hold accountable.

[He nods.]

But I believe what you say. Though I'd rather have them avoid spitting.

[A small joke.]

[red_branch]

Well, tell you what--do your knights share meals regularly? Maybe being in the presence of proper knights will get them to watch their manners a bit better, Sir Loras.

[dyingisnotdead]

They do, yes. And I would gladly share my meals with your men, if you think it would help.

i have an open post in cothromach if you wanna tag it...

[red_branch]

Glad to hear it! Then, how about this? We ought to share drinks as knights and cement that bond a bit more!

[dyingisnotdead]

That will work well enough for me. There are a few good pubs in the Cothromach, with good ale. I've made sure of it.

[ooc: can you shoot me a link here or in a pm?]

augh sorry, i've been slow, lately. sick + lazy ;;

[red_branch]

(ooc: here we are!)

Absolutely. Still, I'd think that treating them too kindly wouldn't be fair. Would it make sense if I told you I'd like them treated like little brothers?

[dyingisnotdead]

As the youngest male in my family, yes, I would understand, very much.

[red_branch]

[There was a touch of a laugh from Lancer at that.]

I'm jealous! Never had real brothers--always had to convince others to take their place. But, see where you are, now.

Taking care of a whole fortress? That's impressive.

[dyingisnotdead]

I suppose it is. But that does not mean I will do it well. We will simply have to wait and see.

[red_branch]

If it was entrusted to you, then that's enough advertisement for me. Bear in mind--a fortress is one thing, but the people within it are another entity, entirely.

So long as you understand that, I won't worry for a moment.
