Jaime I - Big city, big dreams (Open)
"King's Landing...FINALLY I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HERE!" Jaime was grinning from ear to ear as he laid his eyes on the city. It was the first time in his twenty years of life that he had set foot outside the Vale. After begging his father incessantly, Lord Lucas Corbray finally relented with a smile and agreed to travel with Osric's main host to the city.
Jamie smiled at his brother, Lyonel and his sister Arina, the Corbray twins. "We're finally here! Look how enormous it is!" Jaime said to his siblings, who, like him, were in awe of the city's size and hustle and bustle.
Soon, they would find themselves setting up several large tents in the Vale camp outside of the city. Jaime worked quickly and soon had finished his tent, whereupon he marched straight into the city, beckoning the Corbray twins to follow.
The sounds and smells of the city were almost overwhelming as the trio made their way through the bustling streets. Jaime turned to his siblings, "Let's go to the main square!" Thus, the trio made their way through the bustling streets and arrived at the square in the centre of the city, where they quickly found an empty bench with a nice view of the square and the crowds of people passing through it.
The trio were an interesting sight, all three of them were dressed in knightly armour, the sigil of House Corbray displayed proudly upon their chests. Lady Forlorn hung from Jamie's hip, one hand resting upon it, to make sure no ruffian tried to steal the precious sword from him.
-------------------------------------
House Corbray was an old and proud house, which, of course, meant they had a manse in the city. However, Lucas would soon find it was overrun with squatters and had to spend the entire afternoon clearing the ruffians out of the Manse. Jaime and his siblings would be staying in the Arryn camp, while Lucas, sick of sleeping in tents, had opted to stay in the manse with his wife, Lady Katherine Arryn.
It took an entire day for Lucas and his staff to clean the manse and tidy up. In the morning, Lucas and Katherine awoke from a deep slumber in their bed.
Lucas was not a morning person, while his wife was a lark, not an owl. She chuckled at her grumpy husband as he washed and got ready for the day. "Relax, dear, this is a vacation! A chance to show the realm the valiant Vale Knights."
Lucas grunted. "It's not a vacation, Katherine. I am here to make sure that your nephew makes the right decision and opens up The Vale as soon as possible." Katherine chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully. "I am sure dear Osric shares your sentiment, but please do try and relax a bit."
Lucas sighed; he couldn't deny his wife anything. "Let's go for a pleasant stroll then, clear our heads, perhaps meet some other nobles."
Thus, the man who led the Sixty Knights of the Vale against the others and his wife took to the streets of King's Landing, waiting to see what the day had in store for them.
