Waiting at the dock {TAG Soma, Kocoum}

Arianne had written a letter to Soma, informing him about his “new” half sister and explaining to him her situation. She had avoided to talk about the rape, but she saw no reason to embarrass Opal about that. She had asked him to take care of her, helping her to get ready to be a woman and not a nun, before she would have to marry one of his soldiers. Then she had shipped her to him. Now Opal was standing on the deck of the ship, shyly observing the sailors docking the ship. As they had finally done, she was invited to move toward the dock, where she was escorted by a servant girl Arianne had put as her company. Once she got out of the sailor’s way she stopped, unsure of what to do or where to go. She had been told someone would have come for her, but she didn’t know who. She was terribly nervous, her heart was beating quickly and she was trying hard to calm her down, but without many results.

So he had a bastard sister? There were many questions that flowed in his mind as he headed towards the docks to see her. What did she look like? Did she look like mother? Or the father that his mother had bedded? What was she like and etc. Though his mind didn't stay focused on the questions as his eyes traveled over the sailors. He couldn't help it. Soma loved to flirt and take delight in other's company. And he couldn't help but admire some of the sailor's sexy, tanned bodies. Soma breathed in before breathing out heavily as he shook his head of the sailors before scanning the docks for a young girl. Would be a bit hard since there were various traveling female merchants in Dorne that wanted a piece of the sailors. There was no judgement against them for wanting and doing so. They were in Dorne. Not in the Stormlands and Lannisport.

His molten golden gaze traveled along the people before settling on a dornish servant and a slightly tanned girl standing near the servant, looking very nervous. That had to be her for sure....And she was truly a looker! Who in the world did his mother bed this time besides Soma and Akhesa's father? "Welcome to Dorne, dear sister! It's really lovely to meet you!" Soma proclaimed out in an ecstatic tone as he approached Opal with wide open arms. He wrapped his arms around her and brought her into a childish bear hug.

Kocoum was keeping an eye out for the crowd. His cousin chose to flirt while Kocoum kept watching for hidden blades in the crowd. Soma was too careless with his flirting sometimes.
Luckily Soma spotted the girl soon enough and they could stop for a while. He chuckled as he watched Soma grab the poor girl into a big hug. "Careful Soma, you are going to crush her." And most likely scare her half to death.

Opal was a bit startled when she heard a voice approaching her, she go ready to politely introduce herself but her surprise turned in bewilderment when she felt Soma'a arms around her. She could feel all the air abandon her lungs, she wasn't used to hugs... well, she wasn't used to human contact in general, she rarely had touched other people in her life, and never without a good reason. Only when Soma let her go she was able to breath again, and she immediately bowed to Soma while her cheeks started blushing "M-My prince, thanks for allowing me to stay with you, that's... that's very generous of you and I-I promise I'll try not to be a bother to you." she was so terribly nervous that she felt like words were failing her, which made her even more embarrassed

Soma chuckled lightly in amusement at Kocoum's warning, shaking his head a bit. "I'm not as strong as you, dear cousin. Not do I possess such muscles." Soma retorted back to Kocoum, his eyes glittered over at his cousin. He didn't possess much strength, but he did possess agility which he believed was a prime aspect in Dornish fighting. It had helped Oberyn Martell against the Mountain. Even though his constant badgering of the Mountain to confess to the crimes of murder, had been the result of Oberyn's death. Though his agility had gotten oberyn to give the Mountain a deadly wound that would result in a slow painful death for that vulgar monster.

When Soma had finally let the young girl go, he took a step back to take in the girl's appearance. His eyes were immediately attracted to her eyes. "Oh! Look Kocoum! Her eyes! Like Zircon jewels!" he exclaimed in an awe tone. He blinked in surprise though as Opal bowed to him, her cheeks tinting with red. "No need for bowing! You are my sister!" Soma quickly proclaimed reaching out and tilting her head back up with his finger lifting her chin. "Come now. No need to be so shy, we're family." Soma smiled down to her brightly.

He smiled amused at the young girl. Soma might have a hard time getting her to speak on first name basis.
Oh well it was Soma. Kocoum would never bet against his cousin. He would end up loosing a fortune that way.
Looking at the girls eyes once Soma let go of her. "Indeed. Sparkle like sapphires they do. Lucky the man who gets to have those precious gems as his." He said hoping to get the girl at ease with some compliments.

She blushed even more at their compliment but couldn't help but smile, even if shyly. She was unable to hide her embarrassment, she was new both to compliments and to physical contact. As Soma gently forced her up again, she was unable to hide her surprise: family? sister? She was only his half sister, a bastard nonetheless. She had been treated fairly her whole life, but she had never been considered family by anyone. "I... thank you" she stuttered, smiling again but not being able to call him by name nor brother. She extended a shy smile to the guard too, finally being able to greet him as well with a small bow of her head that accompanied her smile.

Soma grinned brightly as the young girl stuttered out a thank you to him. He pouted a bit when she still hadn't called him by his name yet. "Also...can you call me Soma, Opal?" Soma asked of the girl, tilting his head to the side innocently. It would be strange to hear her call him anything else. He bit his lip a bit as he reached out and poked her blushing cheeks out of curiosity. "Didn't think anyone's cheeks could get so red!" he exclaimed in surprise.

Kocoum gave a soft chuckle. "Seven hells Soma give the girl some space. She just got here and I doubt she has ever met a more hands on prince than you." He said placing his hand on Soma's shoulder and pulling him back just slightly. "I am Kocoum Sand by the way Opal." He noted to the girl kindly. "You can call me by my first name too."

Opal didn’t have the time to reply to Soma’s request before he poked her cheeks out of curiosity. She bit strongly her lower lip and stiffened, joining her own hands to relief the stress and trying to hide her embarrassment, but to no good. If she could, she would have just ran to hide somewhere. She sighed relieved as Kocoum pulled Soma away from her and managed to smile again, even if she was still really red. “Soma… Kocoum…” she addressed both of them by their nme, as she had been asked, eve if doing so gave her an uneasy feeling “Thank you…” she couldn’t help but thank them once again “You’re being really kind to me”

Soma pouted a bit as his cousin pulled him away from his very cute sister. It wasn’t everyday that Soma got a new sister. “Come on now, why do you have to ruin my fun? Do you see those cheeks!” Especially one as shy and cute as she. She might be a bastard of a royal Martell, but she surely didn’t act anything like him, his sister, or Kocoum. So he was a bit intrigued to meet someone related to him but with different qualities. He had to urge to spoil her for some reason since she really reminded him of the children at the Water Gardens. He grinned brightly as she finally addressed him by his name. “It’s our pleasure to do so! And in our nature as well!” Soma remarked out to Opal, giving her a soft smile.

Kocoum smiled amused at his cousin. "She is a person not a pet. Give her some space for crying out loud." He said. "Shall we head back? You can show your sister the palace." He suggested knowing full well that Soma would make him run after him surely.

Opal directed a thankful smile to Kocoum, the prince was being really nice to her but a bit too... spontaneous, and hard to handle for her. She could only keep smiling to him, wishing she could do or say something more but she really didn't know what. "I-I'd like that..." she stuttered shyly at Kocoum's suggestion, she was quite tired after the journey but she wasn't going to say anything about it, she didn't want to be rude to her so nice hosts.

"Pets...are family." Soma pouted as he glanced away from his cousin, crossing his arms over his chest like a child. He couldn't help that he had a lovely outgoing personality which people compared to a child's. Soma was spoiled. That was a true fact that people tended to forget and could only blame his family for how he turned out. His mother and sister had doted on him the most, even though he had been the oldest. His grandfather didn't like that all and when he had tried to get some sense into Soma, it had been too late. There was no way to get of his spoiled child like attitude.

He then nodded his head eagerly. "That sounds like a delightful idea! She would adore the pools!" Soma exclaimed as he glanced around Opal. "Do you have any bags?" If she didn't bring much with her, Soma had already been prepared for such. She wasn't going on without anything materialistic at her new home.

Opal hid a soft chuckle behind her hand, even if laughing had been considered rude in her education as a silent sister she just couldn't keep herself: Soma was just so... spontaneous, and funny.
As he asked her about her bag she suddenly remembered of the servant girl who had accompanied her, she turned and quickly took a few steps toward her "I'm sorry if I made you wait." the servant girl looked quite annoyed and simply handed a simple and quite light bag to Opal, who, ignoring her bad attitude, smiled to her with a "Thank you" before she stepped quickly back to Soma, smiling again shyly to him. She didn't think it was necessary to explain she didn't have anything else.

He laughed at Soma. Moving to Opal and just taking the bag to carry. Giving her a look that he would have no excuses from her. "Then let's go."

Soma glanced around Opal over at the servant girl, taking notice of her annoyed attitude. He stuck out his tongue out at her before grabbing Opal's hand and started to lead her off the docks to the castle. "Onward home!" He remarked out in a gleeful tone.
