Opening of the Harvest Faire - Garden Ball

Opening of the Harvest Faire - Garden Ball - Log submitted by Ginevra Lannister-Tryell

Maara smiles. "I had not thought of this place as a ballroom," she admits. "But it does make a lovely one."

Luna Hunt my Lady Tarly

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell lets her gaze wander over the flowers and the decoration, and the dancers "Indeed, it is lovely."

Luna Hunt so dreamy

Yseulte Mistwood: "Lady Hunt. It is beautiful isn't it?" looks around the garden.

Krull Redwyne approaches the Queen with a long box in my hands, "May I approach, your grace"

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell nods and tilts her head, "Of course, my lord Redwyne, please do."

Jahar Dunn leaning in close to Lady Tianna.."You will have to tell your seamstress she outdid herself. You are looking incredible"

Maara always gets a little hyper-alert whenever anyone approaches the Queen, especially bearing unknown objects. She keeps an eye on the interaction between Lord Redwyne and the Queen as more of the guard take up positions around the perimeter. She is, apparently, taking no chances with the Queen's safety. Not that she ever does.

Krull Redwyne "If it pleases you, I would like to present a gift to our new prince." Kneels down opening the box. Inside is an clearly ancient and jeweled sword. "This sword belonged to my great grandfather, I would like to present it to the prince as a symbol of the Redwyne's loyalty to house Tyrell"

Tianna Lannister smiles as she reaches down with her free hand and smoothes out a bit of her skirt “I will be sure to pass that a long to her m’lord” with are arm still hooked with his, she moves a bit closer, snuggling in just right

Jahar Dunn me grins as he feels her push into his side, "You’re liking this escort thing huh? Good thing I remembered to dress the part."

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell looks down at the kneeling lord and at the exquisite gift he presents. "My good Lord Redwyne, let me express our gratitude in the name of His Grace and my son as well. I will gladly accept your most generous gift as a token of your loyalty and friendship. Is there a story to this marvelous sword as well, or does it bear a name? "

Maara glances at the sword and smiles faintly, impressed. Broader smiles won't come until she's off duty and there is possibly ale involved. She looks over at Lord Conklyn and Lady Hunt beginning to dance, then abruptly looks back to the conversation at hand, her expression neutral.

Tianna Lannister raises a brow as she hears his words, a bit confused by them after all that was.  “I do like it so, yes.  But if I recall, My Lord.  You are the one that seeked me out to escort me here”

Krull Redwyne smiles sheepishly as I remember the many time the maester slapped me on the head while teaching me the lore of my house, "I'm afraid my house cares little for naming swords, but this was the sword used to knight the first Redwyne by the Elder king of the reach, It pleases me to pass it along to a child who may someday knight a child of my own"

Jahar Dunn chuckles at her words as he sways some to the music. "Would you care to dance or would you wait and speak with the queen and see her gift to your family?"

Jude Hunt notices Lady Casiopa amongst the beautiful ladies and smiles offering a greeting "Greetings m'lady, such a long time since we have seen you, I do hope you are well"

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell listens and her smile deepens. "Why, perhaps the prince may want to name this magnificent blade some day, and I am most certain he will be delighted when he reaches the right age to use it. My thanks to you and your House, Lord Redwyne. I am sure His Grace would have loved to be here as well."

Krull Redwyne "Thank you your grace", Places the case on the steps and bows as I fall back.

Tianna Lannister “Worry not m’lord, for I will have time with my cousin soon.” She turns her head and glances over to the Queen, offering her a smile. “But I do think that I would enjoy the honor of a dance with you at this moment” she says as she turns and gazes up at Lord Jahar

Maara leans in slightly and asks the Queen, "Would you like me to have one of the men see to it that the gift is taken back into the castle?"

Elena Dayne-Redwyne watching Krull return to her she smiles with pride having watched him present a Redwyne heirloom to the prince, she smiles as she takes his hand to dance again

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell nods at Maara, as she had just been about to ask her to see to it, as she didn't want the splendid gift out here on the steps. "That is a beautiful blade," she adds. "It is a noble gift." She looks over to the Redwynes and smiles at Lady Elena, when she catches her eye.

Casiopa Xue nods with a smile to Lady Jude. She blushes at the title of Lady being used to her. "Thank you kindly m'Lady. I fare well. And you look astonishing today."

Casiopa Xue watches as the handsome man in the black leathers comes near. A slight blush runs over her cheeks as she realizes she is starring.

Maara signals to one of the guards, who comes over to retrieve the heirloom and carry it back into the castle for safekeeping.

Jude Hunt laughs at Casiopa's words "I do hope that is not astonishingly bad or all my hard work has gone to waste" She smiles warmly.

Krull Redwyne smiles at Elena, "You are looking as lovely as the day they marched me to the alter at sword point to marry you"

Luna Hunt  a romantic tale if any

Maara glances over at Jaci as she comes to stand next to her. "Hello, Jaci," she murmurs, with a smile. "How do you fare?"

Jahar Dunn smiling he takes her hand into his as they start to dance working into the grove of the music all the while seeing out of the corner of his eye the other people. Relaxing as he gets into the dance his heart pumps loudly in his ear as the pride of just whom he is dancing with comes to him

Elena Dayne-Redwyne chuckles.. "They were tired guards that day after dragging me there before you arrived!".. she smiles warmly knowing full well it would take but another sword point to pull him from me now

Casiopa Xue feels her blush deepen at the Lady's words. "Oh my no, m'Lady. You are a true vision of beauty today, as always."

Jaci Allen descends the stairs into the godswood, spotting the queen and her honor guard on the way down. She weaves through the dancers, nearly tripping over a dip in the ground on the way over. "I am well, Maara. And yourself?" She drops a low curtsy for the queen.

Jude Hunt Now it is Lady Hunt's turn to blush and she nods a thank you to Casiopa "you are too kind"

Jude Hunt notices Septon Hightower approach "Glad you could join us Septon, you gave a wonderful blessing to the Prince"

Nermal Tomsen smiles widely: "A real nice start of the faire that is!"

Casiopa Xue smiles warmly. Glancing over the crowd she notices a familiar face also standing alone. "If you will excuse me, m'Lady. Please enjoy the festival. “Glancing at the handsome noble you are dancing with, she grins. "It seems you have some lovely scenery within your grasp."

Tianna Lannister her hand into his, and quickly with like a twist of his wrist she is spun around and whirled quickly into his grasp so that her body was close to his.  For that brief moment of that touch, her head seems to flutter.  Then quickly as it started was as quickly as it ended for he spun her around again, leading her out from him a bit

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell nods at her handmaiden, offering her a smile, then turns her eyes on the dancers again, a small sigh on her lips.

Thomas Swift Hightower "I thank you, milady.....Saint Murphy of the Many Fumbles had me in his grip then."

Krull Redwyne hearing Saint Murphy's name invoked I make a warding symbol over my breast

Maara nods to Jaci. "I am well, thank you..." She glances sidelong at the Queen, having heard the sigh, however small. "Perhaps the King will feel well enough to come out and join the festivities soon, my Queen," she offers, hopefully.

Jahar Dunn drawing her in close, looking intently down into her deep blue eyes as they sway to and fro. speaking softly as he smiles confidently.."Just might get use to this.."

Casiopa Xue wanders over to Kascie. "Hello Miss Kascie. How are you today?"

Thomas Swift Hightower Lady Kitty...Might I ask for the honor of a dance?

Jaci Allen tips her head to the side wonderingly before looking back to the tall woman in red livery and glinting plate. "The festival is off to a great start, I may say. I saw a great many carts come in the city just this morning."

Kitty Hummingly my pleasure

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell notices Maara's attentive look and her words. "I fear not. I pray to the Seven that his wound will finally heal .. it has been going on for weeks now, sometimes better, sometimes worse."

Kascie Greetings Casiopa I’m well and you ?

Cleothyla Manderly is surprised when a handsome man in black holds out his hand and asking for a dance.

Jude Hunt grins at Casiopa's words and nods as she moves across the grass to whomever she has spotted. Looking around she is glad to see some gentlemen have arrived "Good Ser's please do not leave our beautiful ladies standing, today is a celebration and all must dance!"

Tianna Lannister smiling as she takes a moment to gaze up into his eyes “Do you mean dancing M’Lord?” she says in a coy way “Or are you talking of me?”

Casiopa Xue smiles at Kascie. "I fare well thank you. How is life treating you in the city? It has been a while since we have seen each other."

Maara nods solemnly. "I pray nightly for His Grace's health, but given my standing with the Seven, perhaps it is doing him harm." She smiles a little. "Nothing could compel a man to health more than an heir to raise, I think. Prince Lucian's arrival is a blessing in many ways." She looks to Jaci with a nod and adds, "Many carts, all of which the city guard had to inspect! It has been a long, but enjoyable day indeed."

Jahar Dunn cants his head to the side from her question.."Perhaps a little of dancing and a lot of being around you?" ponders for a moment and cracks a grin "or is it the other way around? Hmmm"

Jaci Allen  shoots a pair of hopeful green eyes at the queen. "With their blessing, He will recover just fine, your Grace." She looks her up and down in approval. "That is a fine gown, my lady queen. It suits you well."

Kascie  smiles at Casiopa "a house take care of me, I serve for the family Meadows and you dear?

Casiopa Xue's eyes sparkle at the news. "Oh Miss. That is wonderful to hear. I do hope they are good to you. I am hoping to have an audience with the Queen soon. With any blessing of the Sevens, I will have a position soon."

Krull Redwyne stumbles with the dance, bumping into Elena knocking her back, Quickly catches her is what appears to be a dip. Pretends it was on purpose.

Tianna Lannister frowns as she hears his words, and with a bit of a purpose twist of her foot and a misstep, which of course lands straight on Lord Jahar’s foot. “Oh I..I am sorry M’Lord” she says as she stepped hard on it.  Then as he swings her around again, her eyes chance the look on her cousin, the queens face.  One that appears to be at a loss at the moment…she sighs softly feeling for her at this moment and almost guilty in the enjoyment of the company of Lord Jahar

Maara grins a little and leans over to murmur something to the Queen.

Jaci Allen "The little lord is doing quite well, though a bit of colic struck him earlier. I dare say, Your Grace, that he will grow very strong. He certainly has the lungs for it." Looking back to Maara, she gives her a thoughtful nod. "I never would have thought of inspection. I'm glad you handle this and not me," she laughs.

Kascie "it is wonderful Casiopa and i see often Ser Moose, I wish you the best for meet our Queen and I’m so glad to see you again”, smiles at her

Nermal Tomsen smiles: "A great idea to have the ball out here!"

Jahar Dunn grimaces nearly howling in the pain of the accidental stomping on his foot. "Of course m'lady how clumsy of me" before he tucks at her waist whipping her body around so to face away from him for a moment

Jude Hunt me nods to Lord Conklyn "Yes, the weather is perfect and the settings stunning. We are lucky indeed to live in such a beautiful place"

Nermal Tomsen smiles: at Lady Hunt "And in happy times! The prince, the faire. And I hope the King will recover soon. Thos arrow wounds are nasty"

Tianna Lannister tries hard to hold back a bit of the laughter that is begging to escape from her lips.  All she can think is what a true gentleman for taking the blame for something that was done be her, and one that was done intentionally “No worries M’lord, for I understand your not so keen dancing moves.  Though practice makes perfect, so I will make sure to teach you more”

Jahar Dunn "Oh you will, will you. I will be honored to have your lessons." Looking up and seeing the Queen alone for the moment he stops them both.."But m'lady I ask your understanding.."taking her hand in his he leads them close to the Queen bending upon his knee when he gets close..

Maara looks over at Lord Dunn as he approaches and kneels, one hand resting on her dagger, the other on her sword. Just because it's comfortable to stand that way, of -course-.

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell notices Jahar Dunn approach and offers him a smile and a nod. Then she turns her gaze at Tianna, and her smile widens, "Good day to you both. Tianna, I heard you were ill ... I do hope you have recovered fully."

Jaci Allen drops a deep curtsy for Tianna, lifting her skirts above the grass below. "My lady Tianna. How do you fare this day?"

Tianna Lannister moves towards the queen with Jahar’s lead of course.  Once standing in front of her, she picks up a bit of her skirt and bows down into a well preformed curtsy “My Queen” in a soft voice she says, then returns to a standing position “Good day to you as well. “ she smiles “Yes..I had been ill, but the Lord 

Jahar here had been kind enough to take wonderful care of me” looks over to Lord Jahar, her smile now turning wider as she feels a special warmth for him

Tianna Lannister turns her head some, as she hears soft spoken words and her name said.  She smiles as she sees Jaci there before her.  With a nod of her head in greeting to her “I fare well, and I hope you find this day the same?”

Casiopa Xue nods a warm smile on her face. "Thank you Kascie. We can only hope."

Yseulte Mistwood Curtsies. "Your Grace, this is Helmut. He's a visitor here." Gestures towards Helmut.

Helmut Iuga bows

Jahar Dunn releasing Lady Tianna's hand as he falls to his knee before the queen, waiting till the lady Tianna finishes. "Your Grace, you have brought much honor upon the lands with your handsome prince. I trust my words are true in this fact that all of the people are in love with him even now.." Standing he offers his hand towards the Queen. "However I believe this faire is for the mother as well. I would be dearly honored if you would have this dance with me?"

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell nods at Lady Tarly with a smile, admiring her dress with an apprehensive look, and also nods her head in greeting to Helmut. "Well met, and welcome to Highgarden, we hope you enjoy your time here." She then turns back towards Tianna. "This is good to hear, dear cousin. It would burden me to hear a Lannister not to receive all the care she needs. I am most pleased to have you live here at Highgarden, and I would wish to speak to you someday soon, perhaps at tea?" At Jahar's words she smiles and offers him her hand. "You are most courteous; I will gladly join you for one dance. You must forgive me, but I still tire easily."

Jahar Dunn his smile broadens like a boy entering a candy store..the awe. Another bow of his head as he leads her away some so there is room. Now of all times his nerves are thorough the roof and with a quick glance to Lady Tianna before turning to face the Queen. "Of course. We shall keep it short but I'm sure you can outdo me any time.

Maara discreetly murmurs to one of the minstrels to change to a song that she is one of the Queen's favorites, and then leans against one of the pavilion's columns, arms folded across her chest.

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell smiles at Tianna and follows Jahar to a space closer to the hearttree

Tianna Lannister smiles as she watches Lord Jahar and the Queen move out into the open to dance.  It pleased her so to see her cousin enjoying herself, she hoped anyway. “I would love to speak to you soon and tea would be wonderful”

Nermal Tomsen bows to Lady Hunt: "Thank you very much for the dance, m’lady"

Jude Hunt does a brief curtsy for Lord Conklyn "The pleasure was mine My Lord and a long time coming. You move very well, I look forward to the next time"

Nermal Tomsen bows to the couples dancing: "Your Grace, Lords and Ladies! Have fun and enjoy the ball! Its time for me today to go to sleep. farewell for now"

Maara smiles at Lady Hunt's approach, and she bows to her, low, her gloved hand resting over her heart. "The event is a success, my lady," she murmurs. "Your vision achieved... are you pleased?" She smiles, engaging with Lady Hunt, but keeping watch over the Queen as well.

Jahar Dunn figuring it better be good for he doubted he will have a chance like this again, they start. Finding soon enough the Queen is a hell of a dancer and light on her feet. Making for quick footwork and twisting around to make it fun. He keeps a broad smile will plastered on his lips.

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ greetings Everyone - calls to the people gathered -

Jude Hunt watches the Queen dancing, wishing to offer her blessings to the young Prince, but not wishing to interrupt her time with Lord Dunn. She instead leans over and whispers to Maara "I must away, can you please tell the Queen I will visit her at her earliest convenience tomorrow to pay my respects to the Prince" and then more loudly "thank you Commander, I am delighted with how things have gone and just seeing everyone so happy and joyful in dance sends me to my bed a happy woman indeed."

Yseulte Mistwood  looks up at the source of the voice and wonders who that is.

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ Your Grace you look Beautiful today - he shouts over to the queen of the reach-

Maara nods to Lady Hunt. "Of course," she replies. "I will happily convey your message. Rest well, m'lady... I will no doubt see you soon."

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell looks up from the dance and the conversation, as she hears the deep booming voice. "Your Grace!" she replies, "How good of you to visit! We are most honored."

Daniella Tyrell saunters over to Maara, Prince's gift in hand.

Maara smiles at Lady Daniella. "Good eve, m'lady," she murmurs, offering a bow. "It is a pleasure to see you... how do you fare?"

Jude Hunt calls to the few not already in deep conversation "Good night all, thank you for your company today"

Yseulte Mistwood Good night Lady Jude

Jahar Dunn out of breath as they stop he again bows his head towards her.."For a lady that just gave birth you are a killer dancer, your grace."

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell smiles at Jahar, cheeks flushed from the dance. "Thank you for the dance, ser, and be assured, the maesters are looking into the matter." Then she takes up her skirts and walk over to the Northern royalty.

Daniella Tyrell smiles at Maara..."I am well, thank you. How are you Maara? Busy as usual, I am sure"

Casiopa Xue Sleep well Lady Jude

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ -smiles as she nears- Your Grace and Bandor have outdone yourselves

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ very lovely

Tianna Lannister smiles as she hears the queen talk, her eyes quickly flashing to Lord Jahar “Looking over?” she says a she starts to step over to him slowly.

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell "Sleep well, Lady Jude. All please hail King Torrhen Stark, King of the North, and his family!" she says, as she approaches the guests.

Agatha Stark Greetings your Grace *nods to the Queen of the Reach*

Maara nods to Daniella, glancing away for a moment as her gaze follows the Queen in her travels. She motions for another of the guard to take her place at the Queen's side for the moment, a few paces off, then looks back to Daniella. "Indeed... a busy day, but enjoyable. Have you liked the faire so far?"

Thomas Swift Hightower Be blessed sevenfold, Your Grace!"

Jahar Dunn still out of breath but quickly catching it his face now hurting from smiling so much as he glances up to see the Lady Tianna coming close. Holding his hand out and a wiggle of his finger he waits..

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ Thank You All!!! * he shouts* But all Hail Her Grace...for without her ..You Lot would not get to dance the night away . Hear Hear!! - he calls out-

Casiopa Xue turns to listen to the Queens words. She curtsies humbly toward the royalty

Daniella Tyrell steps back to allow Maara to continue her gaze. The Queen's safety was of utmost importance. "The fair is magnificent....I have never seen so many wares."

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ -turns and smiles holding out his hand- Welcome back Wife

Tianna Lannister giggles as she extends her hand out to him in hopes of course that he was calling for her to come to him.  She glances around a bit to see if others are moving as well

Maara smiles. "There is much to choose from," she agrees. "I wish that I had more desire to shop... it has never been one of my favorite pastimes. Do you enjoy it?"

รєlץรє รtคгк ~Smiles~ Thank you M'Lord, as she comes down into the beautiful Garden

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell chuckles lightly at the Northern way. She nods politely at the red-headed young woman, and then turns smiling towards Selyse. "Your Grace - it is good to see you here. We hope you do enjoy the warmth of the reach," she adds with a wink.

Jahar Dunn snatches up Tianna's hand before twisting her around so they can start dancing again.."you know she can dance.."

Daniella Tyrell smiles at Maara. "I enjoy looking at the dresses... sometimes the lace and bows are a little cumbersome. I much prefer riding horseback into the woods. As you should know... I do believe we fared very well that day on our travels, Maara."

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ chuckles

Yseulte Mistwood Keeps turning to see the Starks. She has heard so much about them.

Thomas Swift Hightower "Be welcome in our warm gardens, Your Northern Graces."

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell motions for Daniella to approach. "Daniella, will you please join us ..."

Maara laughs. "I do recall," she replies, with a nod. "You sit a horse well, m'lady...and you're well served not to have to worry overmuch about encumbrances such as those."

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ -nods as the man speaks to them- Thank You Good Man

Daniella Tyrell nods to Maara "please excuse me Maara."

Tianna Lannister laughs as she is once again pulled into his arms for a dance “Thank you Jahar” she whispers into his ear as she moves places her head against shoulder

Daniella Tyrell approaches the queen and Royal Starks.

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell Smiling, she takes Daniella's hand and draws her near. "May I present our cousin Daniella Tyrell."

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ Where is Bandor your Grace? I thought to find the him and maybe challenge to the game board...talk between Kingdoms and all that..-he chuckles knowing they would talk about many things Kingdom relations only being one of them-

Jahar Dunn holding to her waist his cheek pressed against hers.."Thank you for what?"

รєlץรє รtคгк smiles and nods.. It is with Great Honor to be here, and nice to finally meet you, Your Grace

Daniella Tyrell curtsies..."Greetings Your Graces. It is lovely to see you all in Highgarden for the festivities."

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell throws a side glance at the Septon

էօггհεռ รէձгĸ -smiles at the red headed beauty- We've met Your Grace. Her Horse riding skills are something - his eyes twinkle-

รєlץรє รtคгк nods.. It is nice to see you again Lady..

Agatha Stark smiles kindly as she looks around the garden 'I feel honored to be here, thank you for such a warm welcome. It really is true what they say about the Highgarden, the grass is greener and the flowers smell even more wonderful'

Tianna Lannister reaching up, she lets her fingers slide slowly over his cheek “For what you did.  I really appreciate it.  She had me worried so of her enjoyment, so at least I do hope she had a bit of fun dancing with you.  I know I do”

Daniella Tyrell smiles at the royals. "Ah yes... i do love Legend. He is quite the wonder. Gets me out of some sticky situations."

รєlץรє รtคгк It is quite beautiful yes Sister Agatha

Daniella Tyrell turns toward the queen and presents her with a leather bound book with gold inscription." Your Grace... I have a gift for the little Prince"

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell chuckles lightly again. "Daniella is said to be a very fast rider ... unfortunately the woods around here have been not quite safe of late ... However, our Rangers are taking care of the problem now that the siege at Grassy Vale is over ... " She folds her hands and takes a breath. "My lord husband has not been feeling well these past few weeks, his arrow wound has opened again ..."

Jahar Dunn chuckles some.."Well trust me I think she outdid me in the footwork. I felt like a monkey trying to keep up"

รєlץรє รtคгк holds out her hand as she is handed the book.. Oh that is very kind of you Lady Daniella

รєlץรє รtคгк nods

Daniella Tyrell "it has been a wonderful ball, your grace. I must take leave, however.: Hope you enjoy your evening."

Tianna Lannister “Anyone can out do you Jahar” she says with a laugh “I bet your sister is a dancer as well? Speaking of, where is the wonderful girl” though those words found hard to come out of her mouth, but she was trying hard

Ginevra Lannister-Tyrell "Daniella, I will walk with you, and I have to see after the young prince too. Farewell all, and have a wonderful dance, be blessed all and enjoy your evening!"
