(D1 EA) I Will Always Think of You

[Jynessa Tremaine]

Jyn shook her head. "Oh, nothing like that." She glanced down at her hand in the other lady's and then looked back up. "I just know that I will be quite busy in the foreseeable future. I will have to ensure the prosperity of my house."

[Rayley Meadows]

Her smile returned, like the sun coming out from behind the clouds, and Rayley stepped closer, looping her arm through Jynessa’s. “You should join us for prayers with the Septa tomorrow morning. I could introduce you to the other girls. It’s a Festival, I think you can forget about such things for a few days.”

“My grandmother used to tell me that thinking too much would give a lady wrinkles,” she giggled.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

The Tremaine lady returned the smile with one of her own, hers more demure and faint. "Is that so? I was told that a lady's best asset is her mind. Others have declared other, more licentious, aspects of a lady to be more important," she added with a dash of mischief.

[Rayley Meadows]

Rayley gasped and flushed at Jynessa’s daring, but then she giggled. “It’s true, the first thing you said, not the other one,” she added hastily, “but worrying too much is a game for maesters and septas.” She gave a determined nod.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

Jynessa closed her eyes and smiled. The cheerful expression then began to slip away as she reflected on her own life. "The head Lady of a House must often concern herself with the proceedings of her house. Such matters cannot be left only to maesters and septas."

[Rayley Meadows]

Rayley pouted, looking down guiltily, “how terrible I must seem. That I’m to be Lady of House of Meadows and blathering away like this. You must think me so woefully unprepared for my duties.”

[Jynessa Tremaine]

"No, not at all. I am glad that you still find reason for excitement despite those duties. I have often been told that I must try to be more cheerful."

[Rayley Meadows]

"I find most men don't particularly care, so long as you smile prettily for them." Rayley glanced about conspiratorially, "I think you could replace me with a doll stuffed with hay and Elwood would hardly notice, so long as it had a pretty, painted smile," her tone teasing.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

Jyn flashed a small, but genuine, smile. "You are most certainly correct. And therefore it makes it easy to receive what we desire."

[Rayley Meadows]

"Are you looking forward to the Festival?" Rayley chirped. "There is a dressage event, I was thinking I would try, Elwood said that the dressage wasn't just for men." Smiling brightly, "he's very good on a horse too, but he thinks that dressage is too girly for him."
