what is their living arrangements? describe their room or home (or both)

𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓. in childhood eira had her own room seperate from her brothers. it was a simple room much like her living quarters now. eira has since lived on the sea witch with her crew. when she's not seen on deck, she's in the captains quarters of the ship. there she holds her valubles and other items she possesses. in the room there is a desk she may use to write letters and such; and a bed she uses to sleep on. the room also holds a closet for varies items of clothing she's collected over the years, and shelves filled with items she chooses to display. however valuble things are hidden out of reach and sight from others.

     ❛     fin you wretched man,  how are you ?!    ❜   eira exclaimed in excitement. the last she heard about fin was that he had joined viktor in being his first mate.

         eira looked up to see if she’d spot a familiar face. unfortunately there had been none. walking up to take a seat at a table, eira noticed a person with familiar features. ones she was sure she’d seen before.  ❛   excuse my forwardness but you look familiar.   ❜   she trailed.

      bannen considered for a moment and then he thought of a plausible route to not the axe, he wasn’t ready to talk to wylla yet, but to the dancing maiden where he needed to attend anyway… it was the inn where he and his sister both held rooms.   “if you would like, i’m headed to my rooms at the dancing maiden inn, but it’s ground floor is a rather nice tavern if you are looking for a play to hang your coat and find a decent ale or wine — i would be happy to escort you.”

Viktor had received word that an Iron Borne ship had made port, and with his eldest brother currently absent from the capital, it only seemed right that he greet the Islanders who had arrived for the festivities ( and perhaps to offer some warning of the chaos they’d entered into ). Admittedly he’d been distracted —  and having not realized the ship might have already unloaded, the man almost brushed right passed the apology ( but after a moment to fully process the voice, he turned to offer a grin ). “Another Harlaw making port? By the Drowned God —  Kings Landing is in for hell.”

     ❛     i’m afraid it is indeed another harlaw.   ❜   a bark of laughter erupted from her.    ❛     how are you viktor ?? it has been a few has it not ??  ❜   eira hesitated in bringing up his children. when news had broke of viktors wife falling ill, eira had felt a deep sadness by the news. whenever anything of this nature happened, she always felt a responsibility to the ironborn. which is why she believed it to be better that she’d stay at sea.

our EIRA HARLAW (emily browning) is looking for UTP, her FIRST MATE/QUARTERMASTER. this character is 23-45 (b. 482-460) and  the gender is utp and should hail from the iron islands but we can work something else out if you’d like. the two are close friends preferably childhood friends but it doesn’t have to be that way. i envision them both having free spirits and when eira had first became captain of the sea witch she didn’t have to think hard on who would step in as her first mate.  - fc suggestions: tom hopper; tobias santelmann; sam heughan; rosie leslie; jessica chastain; ray stevenson; michiel huisman; natalia tena; toby stephens; luke arnold; clara paget; any fc.

our EIRA HARLAW (emily browning) is looking for UTP, her CREW MEMBERS. these characters are 23-45 (b. 482-460) and the genders are utp and can hail from anywhere. you have free range on the faces and backgrounds. they’re crew members of the sea witch.  - fc suggestions:  anyone from PotC, got, black sails, and of course any fc to your liking.

our EIRA HARLAW (emily browning) is looking for UTP, her EX-BETROTHAL. this character is 25-42 (b. 480-463) and male. he would be eira’s fathers second choice for eira considering he wanted her married to a greyjoy. however none of it went to plan when eira decided to become a captain. he would hail from one of the houses on the iron isles but i would definitely be open to somewhere else. - fc suggestions: aaron jakubenko; alexander ludwig; clive standen; george blagden; alex høgh andersen; jordan patrick smith; jonathan rhys meyers; jason momoa; lorenzo richelmy; any male fc.

Wylla had quite a bit on her mind. Her daughter’s rescue would be tonight, as would her Uncle’s capture. She’d told Bannen of everything and hadn’t spoken to him since. She had been found by her brothers, and now she did not know where to go home to when this was over, nor who to call her family. She knew that she could not have it both ways. The problem was that for the first time in a long, long time. Wylla didn’t know what the right thing to do was. In her distraction, she damn near knocked some woman over.

“Sorry, sorry. I wasn’t paying attention.” She apologized quickly. “I didn’t mean to-” She didn’t know what the hell to say, honestly. “-scuff your boots or anything.” Wylla finished lamely. She pointed down the way to her place of work. “The Broken Axe, but no one is really there right now. Everyone’s getting drunk at the tent outside the Dragon Pit.”

        ❛     no need to apologies. there was no harm done.    ❜   she offered a short smile. she’d look down towards the place she pointed out, taking in the light crowd. she didn’t mind no crowds, instead opting out of social interactions these days seemed to be the normal for her. normally she was found in crowded taverns, causing a bustle, but lately she felt a shift. one she hadn’t quite figured out   ❛     the broken axe is fine. don’t really see a need to be apart of a huge crowd. you guys have decent ale ??    ❜

        ❛     it’s all fine. i’m simply looking for a good drink. i’m eira, you are ??    ❜   she admitted. it hadn’t occurred that many like herself, have not been to kings landing. eira knew the sea like the back of her hand, just as her brothers do. however land was another story. she’d know where they stood on a map, but within the city limits, it was something she had yet to master.
