Sergio smiled to himself, "I do not. And I am a very good judge of character." He studied her, and then added, "You may call me Sergio." He studied her face closely as he spoke.

"Arwyn of House Cuy, I would be your husband. I swear by Vandaras that I will provide to you. By Zyraxes, I will love you. By Vhagar, I will defend you. All this, I Baelon Waters, do promise, and I ask that you would be my wife." Arwyn smiled, blushing, as Baelon said the words. Her hands shook slightly in his when it was time to makae her own promise. She copied parts Baelon's speech, since she didn't know how Valyrian weddings worked, but fortunately she had managed to learn a little of the Valyrian gods to add in her own statements as needed. "Baelon Waters, son of Maeron Targaryen, I would be your wife. I swear by Zyraxes that I will love you. By the grace of Tyraxes, I will give you children. And...and...I will be a good and true wife as long as we both live. All this, I Arwyn Cuy, do promise, and I ask that you would be my husband." "Then your husband I shall be." Baelon replied. He stepped forward, placing his arm around her, and kissed his wife. |

Vira decided that she liked him. "I can see that are you," she replied with a smile. When he told her his name, she said, "And you may call me Vira. Your name is - " she almost said "very strange", but stopped herself just in time. Would that offend him? It was the most strange and foreign-sounding name she had ever heard, growing up surrounded by Wats and Nells and Bessies. The Targaryens had seemed strange enough, despite her father being Prince Maeron, but Sergio was even more exotic in her eyes. "What does your name mean?" she asked politely. "Do you speak the Common Tongue in - " she hesitated. "Braavos?" |

"We do not speak anything quite so common as that." Sergio replied, "We have our own tongue, and it is music in your ears. Sergio... well it is an ancient Braavosi name, meaning untrustable rouge, who is very charming and handsome." He tilted his sideways, "Do you think it fits?"

"Then your husband I shall be." Baelon replied. He stepped forward, placing his arm around her, and kissed his wife. Arwyn kissed Baelon back, hesitant at first because people were watching them, and then more confidently. She even leaned in so that her body pressed against his. |

Sergio replied, "Well I suppose every man is an irredeemable rogue until he finds the woman strong enough to tame him." He feigned a sad smile. "I despair of finding any woman strong enough to domesticate me."

Arwyn kissed Baelon back, hesitant at first because people were watching them, and then more confidently. She even leaned in so that her body pressed against his. Baelon held the kiss for perhaps a bit longer than would be proper. When he broke away, he took a step back and turned to the crowd. "That's enough ceremony for one day, I think. Let's get on with the celebration!" |

Listening with amusement to Sergio & Vira's conversation, Elseyris finally spoke again, as Baelon called for celebration;
"Vira, Lord Sergio here was wondering how a raucous party lasting more than three days might be sustained here. He suspects that Westerosi men do not have sufficient stamina. What do you think? I must admit that I lack experience in such matters."
She smiled playfully at Vira.

Sergio laughed, "Braavosi woman are not all lilies. No flower blooms in the shadows of the Titan."

"Yes. The Titan. It is a giant statue that Guards Braavos from... other statues I suppose. Any way there is not man made structure more grand." He smiled at her knowingly.

Servants carrying trays of food and wine began entering the ballroom, and a small band began setting up in one corner.

"Oh, he must be a figure from legend," Vira said, wishing she was not so ignorant of foreign things. "I think he was. In Dario Seesnia's the Eyes of Stone, the titan is a god who is turned to stone right as he was about to save his love. And now he is frozen to guard Braavos forever." Sergio replied with a small smile at her. |

Visenya walked away from the good natured group of Stormlanders, seeing Maekar alone. The whore of Whatever Crawley was busy talking to Elseyris and some friend of her mother. She smiled at that. Her mother needed a friend. "Hello again," she said with a coy smile. "I thought perhaps we could go flying again very soon."

"I would be happy to take you flying again, when my duties permit. I mean to depart tomorrow for my seat of Darkheart, and I will likely spend several weeks in the Kingswood hunting several of the Faith Militant who escaped Oldtown. When I return to King's Landing, however, it would be my honor to fly with you," he added gallantly. |

She did not bother to hide the disappointed look on her face. "Oh," she said lamely, enforce she brightened and resumed her chatter. "Is Darkheart Keep so far away? You will not have long to get used to being called my lord." She laid a hand on his arm. "You should return as fast as you can. I will count the days til Silverwing and I can join you again."

Maekar looked down at her with a smile. "No, Darkheart is only a few hours ride south into the Kingswood, less than an hour away flying I should say. Still, I shall have many duties which to attend in my first days as Lord," he replied. "I rather enjoyed our flight together, however, and you can be sure I will accompany you so again, when I have the opportunity." |

She felt silly for not remembering that Darkhewrt was so near. It was a suitable castle, lying so close to the city, for one who had so many duties at court. "I am so glad you enjoyed it. I must say, you are a much more diverting escort than most." She laughed happily. "Perhaps the next time we can visit your holdings and you can show me the lands that you now call your own."

Sergio laughed, "It was hardly a wonderful book. There are much more interesting stories. I have a particular fondness for Lady Delina's series. Those are romances about a young woman of Bravoos who rose up to rule from the shadows." He admired Vira once, and added, "I would love to read you some of those stories."

"Well, I try," Maekar replied dryly, and Visenya got the impression that he would have winked at her if he'd still had two eyes. "It would be my pleasure to take you to see my new home," he added, grinning widely at the memory of his first arrival at Darkheart, he and Vira both naked aback aback Cyrax when the dragon landed in the castle's bailey. |

Sergio laughed, "I have been here a very short time, but I am sure I do know. It would be a great mercy if your hedgehog did not survive to captivity." He studied her, for a long moment. "I am betting she does."

"My friends always profit, and my enemies... well they do not profit let us say." Sergio replied, "But yes in my business knowing a man or woman's heart in a blink of an eye is a survival technique."

Visenya, of course, assumed that Maekar was grinning because he would be as thrilled to take her to his castle as she would be to accompany him there. Her smile widened. She looked like a child who had recieved the gift she most wanted at that moment. "Do you like weddings, Maekar?" |

"Not particularly," Maekar replied, with a slight shrug. "I do not spend much time at court for the same reason. Cyrax does not… agree, with the Pit or its handlers, and I prefer to be away from the capital so he can fly freely." He paused for a moment, remembering that would be a sensitive subject. "I apologize, Lady Visenya. That was ill said of me."
