The Crab and the Seahorse

Aenys was in the gardens near Rhae painting when he noticed the tall Lord start to speak with his sister. He did not recognize the man, but the man's features identified him as obviously of Valryian descent. He was tall and broad, which indicated he must be a warrior or at least adept with a weapon, and he seemed to handle himself very well around his sister,

"Another suitor?" Aenys said to the nearby Ser Darren who chuckled slightly at the comment,

"M'lord, your sister is a very lovely Lady. She'd be hard pressed NOT to have suitors!"

"Right, doesn't mean I have to like it!"

The two laughed and Aenys continued with his painting; a pleasant scene showing a bridge with a stream below it filled with all sorts of wild life. As Aenys finished the last strokes of a mallard taking flight, he turned once again to see what was going on with his sister. It was here that Aenys noticed something queer with the man's eyes,

"Ser Darren? Do you see something wrong with his eye?"

The Knight squinted and his eyes went wide,

"Bloody hell, he's got a ruby in his eye!"

Aenys placed the paint brush and pallet down on the bench near him. Aenys looked at himself. He was dressed in his usual attire; a black and teal doublet with the Velaryon crest emblazoned proudly over his left breast, black breeches, and tall, well-polished black boots. He smoothed his doublet out, nodded, and looked to Darren,

"Well, he has peaked my interest, shall we say hello?"

The Little Seahorse and his Knightly Friend made their way over to Lady Velaryon and the unknown stranger. Aenys adopted a curious smile and greeted the man from behind,

"Hello there, my Lord. I am Lord Aenys Velaryon."
