to make. The love of her life or a family— both of wich could coexist if only her flesh and blood were worth a bit more.
She nodded, nose running, wiping a river worth of tears from her cheek. Scurrying away like a wounded animal.
"But things could turn out differently! Lord Tywin is harsh, but he's not unjust. He's not cruel, he's not m— ean."
The word is swallowed down before it slips out, and she turns away.

"Wasn't he good as a ruler, when your father was ill–?"
—
robe,” her voice is crisp — addressed to the girl ( Janna? Something like that, name picked from a conversation she’d overheard before. )
“And prepare a bath for me, go.”
A pause, “As for you, Pia. Give me your decision before this week ends. Am I heard?”
a flower in the sun, gaze turned away, sparkly new tears on her eyes. Jaime was good, his father–! Ruthless as he may be, wasn't irrational.
And if he knew what Stafford did to her, he might even disapprove. Cersei could like her someday, like Cella did.
What an awful choice —
( why does she not as the heir if tywin is better than her kepa 💢 )
yes but . . . would that not ruin your prospects, pia? ––– the whole point of being a debutante is to secure a proposal, or debut into the court so you can do it later.
:/
[ :( she's trying not to think about that. Besides, Jaime's a grown ass man. And his hEIR. ]
I mean... no. but.
. . .
is that how things work here—? He had to ask? Couldn't we just flirt–?
( . . . 👁️__👁️ she can try telling that when tywin lannister tells her to fuck away from jaime. )
um — but isn't he . . ( PONDERING OVER WORDS, brows furrowed. ) did he propose to you? I mean, propose courting you, that is.
[ HER FATHER IS ALSO A CUN— ]
Ahem.
:D it is, isn't it? And we talked, and laughed. And we danced together... and he was so kind. The entire time! He... He called me pretty and stuff...
He's the nicest, Dany. :[ whY DID THE THING WITH THE ULLER BOY HAD TO HAPPEN N O W
( SAME WHAT? )
. . . . huh. ( give her a moment, let her dissociate a tad and stare over pia's shoulder to make sense of things . . . )
. . . . that's — very nice, maybe this is why rhae's mad? she's only mad when she can't actually change something. if he's nice to you +
[ one could say the same to her, thO— ]
Yeah? :) well, I... He... Jaime's very sweet to me. And he kept... approaching. Touching my waist, pulling me to dance...
( thoughtful hum — ) . . . you think? :\
( she doesn't wanna break it to her that . . . his dad is a bit . . . ) that's nice, though! and maybe she was thinking that might not actually go anywhere? and the threat of this one working out somehow is actually worse?
[ very appropriate coming from her <3 ]
I suppose... thank you. But. Now it WORRIES ME because. I'm beginning to think this can actually... go somewhere. With ser Jaime.
'member when I dated Vic? shE WASNT THAT UPSET :[
( ur welcome <3 ) she's always cross, though :/
don't fret it, you're not wrong, your opinions matter, thirsting for someone who you shouldn't be thirsting for is okay.
