Valkyrie's stormy eyes surveyed the lively court area and nearly grimaced. There was something about interacting with other people that made her cringe. It wasn't her fault, of course, Valkyrie simply did not enjoy the idea of befriending people that would throw her glares and use her. She knew that not all people were like that, but she wouldn't be bale to tell the difference until their dark, greedy minds were upon her and trying to drain her of every resource the could. As soon as she had arrived, she was separated from her parents -- they were stolen up by other Lords and Ladies that insisted that they catch up -- and her brother, though she had no idea where he ran off to, seeing as he didn't often leave her side without her knowing.
Alone in the sea of bodies, Valkyrie strolled around through the crowd, avoiding eye contact with most people. Surely she looked like a young, lost soul, but she didn't care. She scanned the crowds for the face of her brother, but his mane of red hair was nowhere in sight. She would just have to catch up with him later, she thought to herself as she brushed her own hair out of her face and tucked it neatly behind her ears as she approached the floor full of people. In the back of her mind she couldn't help but wonder whether or not her betrothed was hiding amongst the crowd. Father had only told her that soon he would come to agreement with one of the neighboring Houses, but which he did not say.
Safe in Riverrun, Valkyrie often thought about the faceless man. She wondered what it would be like when she was finally betrothed or when she journeyed to her new home for the very first time, really. She knew that there were things that were going to be changing the the coming months. A rebellion was always rumored since the reign of the last king was still hanging around and there was something about it that Valkyrie could not bring herself to like. She often worried about her brother, her mother, all of the Riverlands.
They lessor lords of the Riverlands were arriving today, she heard. They were coming to Riverrun to discuss important matters revolving around the rebellion, though she had no idea whether or not that meant involvement for her family. Simply because she was the eldest child did not mean she was privy to all of her father's choices.
"They have arrived, Lady Tully," one of her guards told her, "Your father Lord Tully wishes that you see yourself well as you greet them" Valkyrie nodded slightly and cast one last outward look over the doors of the castle leading out of the crowded and turned on her heel to follow her guard to the honored guests.
