Two books down and the third started.

What? Do you expect or require applause? You are neither a monkey or a mummer, so neither will be given. Get off with you and do your duty. You're not done yet and there is still plenty more work ahead of you. No half-assed attempts either. I'm a Lannister, girl. And don't think you've done anything to feel proud of. You haven't.

[therainbowking]

Ah. I have so missed your charm, my lord.

[thelionoftherock]

Japes, is it. What else is to be expected from a man who accomplished so little.

[therainbowking]

I could have accomplished a great deal, with Highgarden and its lands at my back.

[thelionoftherock]

Could have, he says. A man who can't even stand on his own accomplishments. No, rather what might have been.

[therainbowking]

Being master of laws on Robert's small council was not a great accomplishment to my mind, my lord. I -- can, unfortunately, only speak as to what might have been in my own case.

[thelionoftherock]

And I might have had two whole sons instead of a half of one.

Might have beens don't count for the thought you waste on them.

[therainbowking]

There is little else for me in Westeros.

[thelionoftherock]

There is nothing for you in Westeros.

[therainbowking]

Thank you, my lord, I am rather aware of the fact. But there is still Ser Loras, my lady wife, and the Lady Brienne.

[thelionoftherock]

None of whom are yours anymore.

[inflowers]

...I beg your pardon?

[thelionoftherock]

[ SAY HELLO TO TYWIN'S PIERCING GAZE, YOU GREEN BOY. ]

[inflowers]

You do not speak for me, Lord Lannister, nor my sister, nor the lady Brienne. My sword may belong to Tommen, and I will defend him with my life, but my heart, and every other part of me, shall always belong to Renly.

[thelionoftherock]

I care less for you heart. You'll do your duty and your duty is to your king. Thus, you belong to the realm and as such, the crown.

[inflowers]

Renly is my king, ser, and he is dead. I'll do my duty to my sister's husband.

OH SNAP

[therainbowking]

[This is a glare.]

I am certain, my lord, that Ser Loras will always be mine, whether he serves me or no.

[thelionoftherock]

The sun has vanished, and with it your rainbow guard.

[therainbowking]

That is not my point, ser. You do not know half of what passed between Ser Loras and I, and you never shall.

[thelionoftherock]

[ Really. How could anyone think Renly would make a good king... ]

And that's not my point, you wet pup. He played his part, and played it well. He serves now in King's Landing.

[therainbowking]

[He would be better than Joffrey, shut your face.]

I know well enough where he serves, he has told me himself. It is a pity it is not the legitimate king, though.

[thekingslayer]

Criticizing that player too, now, Father?

[IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO GIVE A LITTLE CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE?]

[thelionoftherock]

Rewards are given when I deem them due.

[theredviper]

Oh, of course, already with such behavior and it has yet to start. Though, it is such a welcome change to see that you treat your mundane in the same manner as you treat your subjects. I should not expect otherwise from a man such as yourself.

[thelionoftherock]

There is no pride to be taken in a job half done. She'll do as commanded- just as any who serve me do.

[theredviper]

You command her? No, my lord, you will find that sometimes it will be quite the opposite.

[thelionoftherock]

Perhaps you are ruled in that manner.

Not I.

[theredviper]

It does require your mundane for you to even speak, does it not?

[thelionoftherock]

She speaks when I tell her to.

[gameofthorns]

Now I'd quite like to see the monkey or mummer that could get a wink of applause out of you.

[thelionoftherock]

Sooner you wager on Stark growing his head back.

[gameofthorns]

You know, I just might take that bet. Far stranger things have occurred, in these parts.

[thelionoftherock]

In Westeros, woman.

[northerner]

You'll win no support from your player, should you continue speaking in that manner.

[thelionoftherock]

Your greenness shows, wolfling.

It is fear and respect that is owed.

[northerner]

I have never found it so.

[thelionoftherock]

Likely why you won so many battles, yet lost the war.

[alittlelion]

Do you feel better? I know how chastising those in your services pleases you.

[thelionoftherock]

Always so quick to quip. Still hadn't learned to hold that tongue. And you wonder why I don't feel the need to share all my plans with you.

[alittlelion]

I could be as silent as death, but if you still wouldn't tell me any of your plans. I'll forgive for your secrets as long as you'll forgive me for my transgressions.

[thelionoftherock]

Your forgiveness is not something I require or something I desire.

[alittlelion]

You wound me. At least you've fallen for my ploy of getting you to give that poor mun a rest and take your...personality out on me. I'm used to it.

[bruxisms]

[ Tywin, talking to you is always difficult because so much of what you say makes sense. ]

They do seem inappropriately fond of applause for little, my lord.

[thelionoftherock]

Better she had chosen a lesser man if that's what she expects. I'll have none of it.

[burnsobright]

Father.

[A glance.]

So your mundane is reviewing.

[thelionoftherock]

Page by page. Expect no kingdoms to be won by her.
