Furnished with paintings of Tanis and her family. The windows were large and the curtains were always drawn back to let the sun stream into her space during the day and the moonlight at night. Her chambers were split with her bedroom and personal bath in the room further back with a sitting room in the front.
The shelves were stacked with books from all regions of the known world. Her favorites are the ones in old Valyrian, that she had read more than enough since her childhood.

In the middle of the night there is a thunderous clamor on the door of Arenya's apartment.

Arenya snatched the door open standing in her night clothes, her eyes heavy with sleep, "What?!", she yelled sleepily before she realized who it was.
"Oh Lord Commander, what causes you to bang on my door at this hour?" She rubbed her eyes to get a clear view of him standing there. "Is everything alright?"

"Put on your armor," He replied. He himself was fully dressed in scale mail and open faced helm, his sword and shield on his back. "Your trial for the Kingsguard starts now."

Arenya blinked and then rushed back into her chambers. She pulled her hair back, dawned her mail and armor, making sure that everything was clasped and buckled. She sheathed her swordand looked at him with her helm under arm. "Please, lead the way Lord Commander."

Brandon nodded, and strode out, wordless, not waiting to see if the Princess kept up. (OOC: Headed to the Yard)

///// Retreating to her chambers, she stripped from her armor. The bandages were in place on her wounds. "Clean my hour, you have one hour", she demanded to the servant.
"I must be ready to see the Lord Commander and soon."
Arenya let the HOT water flow over her body, rinsing her wounds and calming her aches. She thought of the last two days and what she had went through and how in the morning she would be riding to war. She knew that Maegor would call her sometime tonight, but reporting to the Lord Commander was more important.

///// The hour was late as Arenya entered her chambers and changed from her armor, newly knighted, to her regular clothes. She was to meet Maegor to say goodbye to him before they left for battle.
She would not tell him anything that he did not need to know at the moment, it basically kept her and Brandon out of his fire until it was time for him to hear the news.

///// After tending to Tanis and making sure she was comfortable, Arenya made it her business to go straight to her chambers, submerge herself into the hottest water and soak until she felt at home again.
She leaned her head back in the large tub, closing her eyes with the wash cloth draped over her face. The steam from the water washed over body and seemed to soak down into her bones. Arenya sighed in relief and thought no more of the war, no more on death just the hot, streaming water.
She'll send her armor to the smith to be cleaned later, right now this was her long awaited moment of peace. If anyone knocked on her door, there had better be a riot in progress or someone could be facing possible bloodshed.

//// The water temperature had now started to cool as she opened her eyes. How long had she been in the bath?
Her clothes, which consisted of black pants a longsleeved shirt and her boots, were laid out for her. She sat at her vanity, brushing her what hair she had and chuckling. "I need be careful of someone would mistake for a man."
Arenya got dressed and decided to walk the halls a bit.

After hearing about Arenya's rejection from the Kingsguard, Elseyris went to her chambers, to pay the Princess a visit.

Her bags were packed as she sat looking out of her window. The trees bending at the breezes, Arenya sighed and closed her eyes. "This trip should do me well", she thought. "If it goes well enough.... I may....." Her thought stopped at Elseyris was let into her chambers, followed by her shadow betrothed, Trajan.
"Well", she grinned at them,"this is a surprise... Come to see the royal laughing stock of the Seven kingdoms?"
"What could I possibly do for the two of you", her question was filled with sarcasm as she looked them. "I think I won't be as amusing as most, but if you care for a good laugh I can dawn my armor and just stand right here."

Elseyris looked apologetically at Arenya as she came closer.
"Not at all, Princess, I wanted to express my regret that you were robbed of your wish. I had truly hoped and believed that it would be granted. Are you alright?"

"No, I'm not alright", she chuckled,"I made a decision that was wrong, I went against what I wanted, what I fought for... To please my brother", she shrugged. "And in the end, I made a fool of myself."
Arenya looked at her bags, with a smile,"But pretty soon, I will not have to deal with being here for a while."

"I do not think you are a fool, Princess," said Elsey, solemnly. "I think you were still very brave to follow your heart."
Elsey followed Arenya's glance at her luggage;
"Are you going on the trip with the Prince too?"

"Well my dear", she stood, stretching,"you are the only one who thinks that, I'm afraid."
"But after a few drinks and some frivolities", she smirked,"I shall be right as rain."
Nodding at her bags,"Yes, I have been invited on journey with my mother... May do me some good to see something different."

"My opinion is not usually popular, but I am not of a mind to change it," Elsey laughed slightly. "I hope the trip does you good, and that some other happiness may yet find you."
Elsey's hands fidgeted a little, choosing her words.
"May I make a small request of you, Princess?"

"Thank you", she watched her fidget a bit.
"What do you wish of me", she asked. "I do recall that I owe you a kindness from before."

Elsey smiled, remembering the toy dragon, and teaching the big brute a lesson.
"If I were a gracious and humble subject, I would say that assisting you and doing a justice was reward enough, but I fear that I am most uncouth," she said playfully, though with a wistfulness to her voice. She then met Arenya's eyes solemnly.
"I want... to ask you to make sure he comes back safely."

Chuckling at her statement,"you are not uncouth, just concerned."
"Rest assured, my nephew will make it back home safe and sound."

"Thank you, Princess. You do me a kindness. I am glad I got to speak with you before your departure."
Elsey smiled shyly, standing up.
"I should let you get back to your preparations."

"You are welcome, Elsey", she grinned. Arenya looked over at her belongings,"I would say I am done. I also have another to find before I depart."
"But I well wish you a fine day." Looking at Trajan, who was mostly silent,"that was meant for you as well, nephew."
"Now if you two would please excuse me..."
