[ Lannister gold, it seems, can run out. When your family is in turn no longer welcome at The Rock. And then exiled to Dorne. A land not exactly fond of Lannisters but then it was a kinder punishment compared to what could've happened when her father's ties to the King of Dorne were brought into question. Her father had always been a generous man and had given help to all Seven Kingdoms. However, his help of certain ones was frowned upon and when he refused to stop, he was cut off from such riches and sent away.
It was only due to his loyal service and giving nature to all that he was spared and not deemed a traitor. Instead, just given the title of "fool". The Dornish, however, welcomed them with open arms when they found out who he was. A banquet thrown in his honor and all of them given rooms at the palace as guests.
Karen was still reeling from it all, missing the shore and cool ocean breezes. She also wasn't too sure of the fashion here, either. But she was dressed in red and green, gold hair pulled back and flowing down her bare back. She smiled and was polite to those that addressed her but she didn't feel much like starting those conversations herself. She nibbled at some food, drank the wine (it was quite good), but she couldn't help wondering what this meant for her now. Any hopes she had of marrying someone in higher standing was uncertain and she didn't feel all that comfortable with the... ways of the Dornish. How marriage and taking lovers was treated the same. And how freely such "love" was demonstrated in front of the court. ]
