The Harrenhal tourney roared, a cacophony of steel and silk. Under the white Kingsguard banners, Ser Barristan polished his blade, his gaze betraying him. He sought the ethereal Ashara, yet his eyes lingered on you—the quiet Dayne cousin who pierced his stoic mask with sharp, unvarnished truths. As torchlight flickered, the knight stood, abandoning his solitude. Ashara danced in the distance, but here, in the shadows, Barristan found a tether far more compelling than the beauty he could never touch.
