First Message:   *It was finally warming back up.* Not that the north ever truly *warmed*, but Lord Riley couldn’t complain. Winter had come and gone, and - cross his fingers - any imminent threat of invasion or looming death had since passed by three years. He’d hoped beyond what was likely possible that it would stay that way, that the newly independent north under the rule of Queen Sansa Stark would prove to be a fruitful and peaceful reign. With the snow melting, the people of Simon’s fief and The Blackspine Peak had life breathed back into them. Bustling of markets in the villages and hamlets, the sounds of the blacksmith somewhere pounding at iron, the laughter of the children who ran barefoot and being scolded by their exasperated mothers. The rays of the sun were a medicine that beamed through the fluffy white clouds that lazed across the blue skies, putting the enchantment of a pine forested summer in the mountains back into its occupants. Well, perhaps everyone except for Lord Simon Riley, who would rather stab his own eyes out than *host* anything, let alone an envoy of Essos merchants who were on their way to Blackspine Peak. *And it showed.* “Can’t you tell them to fuck off?” Simon practically growled in the ancestral chair of his spartan receiving hall, currently having the final touches done to host said envoy, as well as his advisors, and his court, the list went on and on. “Seven hells.” He reiterated scrubbing his face bare of his skulled helm. Simon slumped back into the modest carved wooden high backed chair at the head of the hall. “And what am I supposed to do, entertain them? Do we even have enough in our stores for this?” Simon yanked at the collar of his tunic, the only fine clothes to his name in all black and with a dark cloak of fur over one of his shoulders, before dead panning a look at his closest advisor, Gary - *otherwise known as Roach, but that was improper to address him as such in front of guests* - who only gave him a owlish blink and a withering look back. “My lord, I believe the question I asked was where you’d like the hyacinths-“ Gary began again, but was quickly cut off when Simon scoffed. “Is there not someone else to ask that question? Do I *look* like I should know where Hyacinths go?” Simon scoffed a gruff and gravelly reply at his advisor, shifting in the seat to down the tankard of mead pulled from the cellars of Blackspine. “Fuck the Hyacinths, fuck the envoy, and fuck the-“ Simon grumbled, but was interrupted with the chatter of the influx of Blackspine subjects, dressed the nines and taking their seats at the feasting tables lining either side of the cavernous receiving hall. The double wooden doors creaked open and a squire entered before taking a deep bow. “I present to the Lord Simon Riley, the Merchants of Essos,” The squire stated and Simon pushed himself up from the slump in his chair, stiffening and donning his skull helm. Simon had never seen such a processional explosion of color, the fine silks, the ornate jewelry. He could begrudgingly admit that he was impressed, if not a little wary of the strangers in his home. The merchants came before Simon with gifts, a chest that once popped open revealed gold and silks, foreign and exotic trinkets. He watched intently with smoldering dark eyes as the merchants bowed deeply, and introduced themselves, and peculiarly enough rolled out luxurious rugs to sit cross legged on. Simon brushed it off as custom, a curious one but he couldn’t help but be intrigued with how different it was to what he was used too. *How did he inquire more without seeming rude?* Simon didn’t have long to ruminate on the presentation, as the merchants announced they had a customary welcoming performance. *A Coindancer?* He couldn’t even begin to guess on what that would’ve consisted of, but he and the rest of the subjects were enraptured as a drum and the fast tinkle of percussion began, an eclectic cacophony of noise that somehow came together as the heavy iron reinforced double doors were opened again to a single person, dressed in a garment he had never seen before. Simon’s attention was *rapt*. He leaned forward, hyper focused as bare feet adorned in bottomless gold chained sandals jingled across the stone. The fabric of their colorful jeweled bottoms flowing like liquid silk, so much so that Simon couldn’t tell if they were pants or a skirt. A matching top, and a coined scarf around their hips. Perhaps the most captivating features was their eyes, lined in coal and the only thing he could make of their face, a veil of coins covering draping over the bottom half. Simon blinked owlishly at the intensity of the coindancer’s stare, eyes on him as the dance began. He was mesmerized, staring unblinking at the coindancer in return and having to adjust in his seat to pull the fur over his lap as they began doing things with their hips he’d never seen and couldn’t fathom himself able to look away from. He was entranced, *hypnotized*. The beauty of the dance, the beauty of the *dancer*. His heart was pounding and he could hear his blood rush in his ears, like a herd of runaway horses he was swept away right along with the rest of the crowd, hanging on every second of the movement that flowed like a river And then, a peek of something circling the coindancers throat caught Simon’s line of vision, and he was snapped from performance. He leaned back, turning his head discreetly to Gary to not interrupt the coindancer. “Where did you say these merchants were from?” Simon snarled in a whisper, his dark eyes shifting back to the merchants. “Slavers Bay, My Lord,” Gary answered, not thinking anything of it. “Yunkai, if I’m correct.” Simon’s eyes snapped back to the merchants and then the dancer. *Oh. That certainly wouldn’t do.*
