Bio
Hello all who have deigned to grace my profile with their presence! I am the great Arrayah, lord of the Phoenix. Or something. I don't know.
Anyways, bio. As of writing this, I am a 23 year old female. I am married. I own two dogs (a Dalmatian and a Labrador... so cliche). I work from home. I like crafty stuff and games. I used to be an MMORPG girl, but have since moved on to things like Minecraft and Ark as well as Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress. Who knows what's next?
I love writing, but only get to roleplaying a few times every couple years. Unfortunately, life gets in the way. I'm starting to have more time lately, and thought it'd be fine to start it up again. We'll see how it goes, but hopefully I stick around this time.
I was on the old RPGuild, so you may recognize my name. If so, hello again! If not, maybe we'll have lots of fun together. If I've been online recently, and you're interested in doing an RP, feel free to PM me. I'm almost always interested in 1x1s as long as I don't have too many going on. Check some of my old threads to see my rules, or pm me if that's too much hassle.
Long live the Phoenix Queen. Or something or other.

I can just imagine Kiara rubbing her fingers together as if she were actually playing the worlds smallest xD
Yes, she felt absolutely terrible. Kiara watched him, the way he looked at her, she knew that look. It was the one that you gave to an enemy that you could not trust. She understood, really she did, but it still hurt. It was one thing for her to be distrusting in a kingdom, castle, and country that had tried to kill her more than once. Why should he look at her like that when she was the one in enemy territory. She had decided long ago that she didn't need to prove herself to anyone here, so why on earth did she want him to like her? Perhaps it was just vanity.
How was she going to explain that she knew exactly what he was thinking, feeling? Would he even believe her? Did it even matter? He wanted nothing to do with her despite what she had confessed to him. Because of this, she was quiet as she took Lamont's arm and walked beside him.
Kiara knew better than anyone how to keep up appearances as she had been doing it all of her life. She'd done it earlier, and she was honestly tired of it. Who in their right mind would want this life? She remembered Ostus once saying that people would kill or die to be in her shoes, and more than ever she knew that he was wrong. Pretending to enjoy the company of her betrothed just to impress people who would know it was a lie... being told what to do and what she should enjoy... it was barely a life worth living.
However, she buried this as surely as she had buried every dream she'd ever had. As she had suppressed whatever it was that she felt towards Ostus. As she had been hiding her fury towards the king and what he had done to her.
Like Lamont, she held her head high, put a smile on her lips, and moved with the grace of a queen. After all, just as he had said, appearances were everything.

It's so pretty :o
For a few minutes, Kiara was quiet. Something about how Lamont had reacted made her feel bad. Perhaps it was because he looked so... fragile. All the blushing and the fit he had after she had snatched away his book. Not to mention the reaction he'd had to her saying she wanted to know about him. It was if he truly believed that was a lie. Of course, she'd embellished a bit, but who wanted to marry someone they knew nothing about? And then there was the fact that he was coming to the lunch for her even though he obviously did not want to.
So, as she watched him finally get ready to leave, she felt the need to clear things up. "You're wrong. I would like to talk to you. That part is true. I didn't come all this way just to marry you, pop out babies, and never see you again." She sighed quietly before trying to sound as sincere as she could. "Look. I'm sorry. It's been a long trip here, and an even longer day. I just..."
Here Kiara paused, laying the book beside her and putting her head in her hands. "Please try to remember that this isn't what I wanted either. So can we start over? I'm Kiara. It's nice to meet you. Please come to lunch with me so we can try to get to know each other?"
She stood and brought the book to him an apologetic expression on her face. Yes, she'd been expecting a selfish brute just as Ostus was. The first description may or may not have been true, but this man in front of her was obviously not insensitive. He had real feelings and Kiara had a terrible feeling that she had hurt him without meaning to.

No problems. When Damo and I post there will be plenty to react to :p
Wow. I love him. Alright you're accepted, but keep in mind that if you were not invited to the party you'll have to be sneaking in and keeping under the radar of the guards.
What can I say, she loves her knife. And yes, I was hoping to pull a reaction from him by taking the book xD I assume it'll be like when Ostus took her bow.
Anywho good night! I should sleep but meh. Insomnia.

Sure thing, just get a CS up :)
Hehe. I do love it when she pretends to be a real girl.
Just as Lamont was distracted by her appearance, Kiara was taken aback by his. Having never seen even a portrait of the man, she'd expected him to take after his father as many of his brothers did. He was Berinike, so of course she'd been expecting someone large and well built. At least he had the right coloring. Her eyes looked him up and down, judging. He was so... soft. It was as if he'd never had a hard day in his life. She guessed from his thin frame that he had never touched a weapon or worked a day in his life. So strange that it was she that fit in better here than the he considering he was the prince of the damned country.
Ah, that was right. She'd brought a knife because unlike this bookworm, she knew how to use one. Kiara was contemplating the dangers of using it on him when she finally registered his words to her.
"That's cute. That you think I'll be leaving here without you. I'm sure you know that I didn't come here of my own free will. Obviously, I would much rather be sitting at a table ignoring your parents and pretending I was back home. Too bad for the both of us that I am not."
She was quiet as she moved towards him until she was close enough to snatch the book from his hands.
"Like it or not, we are to be wed. Do you know what that means? Sooner or later we'll have to talk. Or meet. Or whatever. Because there is no way you'll be getting any son from me if you will not even bother to look at me. I figure lunch with your parents should be relatively easy compared to the other things I could have us be doing. So I suggest you leave the book here for later and come with me because if you don't I'll just stay and talk through it."
Here she made a point of sitting next to him and batted her eyelashes in the most feminine way she could muster.
"After all, there are just so many things that we haven't talked about. I mean, I'd love to know everything about you! Like your favorite color and whether you prefer the sunrise or sunset. Oh, and let's not forget all the things you like to spend your day doing. I suppose if you'll not talk to me, I could just follow you around to find out my answers." Her tone was sickeningly sweet as she sent a grin his way.
If this didn't work, Kiara would try the knife, but she figured that it would probably be bad if she was beheaded her first day in the city.
