Gilliane was taking in the room, looking for a special someone, and when she made eye contact with that person she smiled.
โ Do you see that girl? โ her ladyship pointed to make it more noticeable for him.
Of year, especially if one is not used to it โ
Gilliane sat down and handed the prince a goblet of wine.
โ Rickon is dead, you might have heardโฆIโm glad to have visitors, it lightens the mood โ the older woman smiled.
Her ladyship was most humbled to have his royal highness grace them with his presence, but she was also aware why he had come to Winterfell in the first place.
โ Your royal highness, welcome to Winterfell, letโs sit by the fire, the cold can be so cruel this time โ
As the doors opened to reveal Lady Stark he nearly faltered.
He was the brother to the king true enough, but Daemon knew when he should show respect- and so he offered a bow.
"Lady Stark," He says eyes trained on the floor.
โ We had an understandingโฆyou know that. He was being melodramatic. โ
I am terribly wickedโฆI suppose I shouldnโt have done it, but how am I supposed to know heโs sweet on her? โ
โ
โ โ โ She keeps her hand on Gilliane's, listening to the story she tells her. A little surprised, she slightly raises her eyebrows.
โ That must have been... a shock, to him. โ She says in a low voice.
โ
Because I am not ashamed of it. โ she wanted to make that clear.
โ She was betrothed and would have left Winterfell anyway. โ
maybe it was a bit morbid, but it was the truth.
She could have cried right there once her hand was held, but she wasnโt sad for her she was only sad for the children.
โ Rickon was a little upset with me, because I bedded his mistressโฆpoor thing came in right during the act itself, in my defense โ
โ Heโs dead โ she stated, without much emotion.
โ We had a disagreement, or fight whatever you want to call it. And the next morning he was dead โ she smiled through it, not that she was happy but she wasnโt going to break down.
โ
โ โ โ โ We would love to have you with us again. โ She means these words, as she knows Corlys very much enjoys Gilliane's company as much as she does.
โ That seems like a strong word. What makes you think that she was right ? โ
โ
@Prince_Daemon__ The lady of Winterfell looked at the prince and smiled politely. โ Your highness Iโm very honored, but I must declineโฆthis old dame is not leaving the table until she has to be carried back to her room, but you are welcomed to join โ she raised her goblet of wine to him.
Saying I was born rotten, do you think itโs true? She used to say it would catch up with me โ she was getting perhaps a little too philosophical for her own liking.
โ Ah, well Iโll have to visit again once heโs back. I havenโt seen him in ages โ
She had always liked Corlys, he was unlike so many others.
โ I got caught in a ugly scene at home, I donโt know how I get myself into these situations reallyโฆI can hear my motherโs voice โ
โ
โ โ โ She slowly taps the wooden armrest of the chair she is sitting on, drinking another sip of the wine.
โ He is, in the Stepstones this time. He wanted to make sure their efforts there would not be wasted. โ
