Harlon Greyjoy

Harlon had both hands on the ship's edge, leaning on it as he watched the waves crash against it. Soon enough they'd be in King's Landing, a place he knew was nothing less than beautiful. And maybe he should be grateful to go. There were bound to be women there, someone for Donnel to marry. They needed to create peace and try to clean up their family name a bit, as well as forget about Donnel's loss. However, Harlon wasn't interested attending Aegon's Name Day, though he'd never say that. It was just a gathering of all the houses that weren't too fond of the Greyjoy's. Harlon kept his eyes fixed on the water, uninterested with how close they were to the docks. How close they were to the shore. But he quickly cleared his throat and straightened up, his hands now off of the edge and straightening his clothes. He didn't plan on getting too dressy for the occasion - he had on a his black, half-sleeve tunic, brown pants tucked into his riding boots, a dagger tucked into the leather around his waist, and light leather armor on his arms and legs. But no matter how he felt about the situation, he had an image to uphold. Harlon wouldn't dare show up with a scowl and a cold air about him, as it would only be an embarrassment. Luckily, it was pretty easy for Harlon put on a nice face for everyone else. Though, he normally didn't have to try.

Harlon walked down the ship as Donnel's men prepared for arrival. He could see the docks not too far off in the distance. So they were finally here.

"I must say, this is impressive, brother," Harlon nodded, small traces of a smile on his face as he approached his older brother. The crew worked hard the entire way, listening to Donnel's command without a question. And Donnel himself showed all the skill that would make him a great leader for the Greyjoy's, whenever that day should come. "It's a shame there aren't any Ladies here to see it." Harlon looked up at his brother with a joking smile, then stared straight ahead and folded his hands behind his back. Despite him not being too enthused about Aegon's Name Day, he was always comfortable out on the sea, and having his brother around was also a pleasure.
