The sky was filled with murky clouds and the wind smelled of the salty sea as it blew about in the air, causing ship flags to dance along with its rhythm. A strong breeze caressed the fire-kissed locks of a large built man who stood upon his ship's deck as he watched the ever growing closer coastline. His stoic face was sun-kissed tan and rough with lines made from both smiles and frowns through his life, his lips set in a thin line as he starred on in deep thought.
Closer and closer the coastline grew, it was only a matter of time before they reached the docks of his soon-to-be new home. Kings Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Alexander had only been there during the negotiations and had never gotten much look over the city. Nor had he ever traveled anywhere in the Seven Kingdoms, his travels only ever taking him throughout Essos. He wondered what the city was like, and more importantly its queen.
I wonder what made brother decide on a marriage as an assurance of peace. he wondered, giving out a small sigh. And why me. True, unlike his brother he was not yet married. But he wasn't the only bachelor in Braavos. Most of them were younger than he but he wasn't the oldest either... maybe. Not that he was opposed to what his brother and ruler had asked of him. There were many times he thought of seeking out a bride to shall his life with. He just never thought it would come about in the way that it did.
With another sigh, he turned his back form the view before him, the docks starting to become clear now, and instead looked at the sailors that performed their ship duties. This would perhaps be the last time he would ever see these men most likely. Even if he should visit Braavos again, it would be aboard ships from the Seven Kingdoms with Seven Kingdoms sailors. Crimson eyes glanced to the side as a Bravos approached him, a man on the top of the list of possible replacements for him once he married the queen of the approaching land. He was also one of of many swordsmen who came to ensure Alexander's safe travels.
"I trust everything is well." he asked as the man made it to his side, nodding his head in getting as he spoke. Upon being informed that they would arrive at the port soon, Alexander nodded before dismissing the man and making his way to the cargo hold to make sure all his things, as well as his wedding present to his future bride, were well prepared for transport. A survey ensured that all was there and secured and by the time he was done, hollers could be heard from up on the deck of docking preparations. The fire-kissed man gave himself a moment to prepare himself before he went back up.
As the crew docked the ship, Alexander felt himself glance around the busy port as his men came up beside him. Here it goes.
