It's taken you long enough. I wonder at your decision to take me now, if time makes me a better man. Yet, if it's really as you say, I'd just as soon stay as I am.

What are you waiting for me to say? Get on with it and show me where we're going. Or do you intend to talk me to death like Father?

Dear brother. Glad to see you're still alive and well.

[acoatofgold]

Is this just the standard formalities, or should I take that to mean I die in the future as well?

[a pause as he evaluates what he just said]

Sooner than 'eventually', Tyrion, don't be a cunt.

[alwayspays_hisdebts]

I have no idea if you will die in the future, since I am not a fortune teller. [He will be frowning at his brother.]

I trust Cersei is keeping you in good stead?

[acoatofgold]

A pity, I think you'd enjoy lording it over me.

Currently? Cersei's had to keep His Grace in good stead and hasn't had time for much else.

[it's carefully masked, steely anger, an old anger that never quite fades away. the King can use his dear sister in whatever drunken way he likes, as often as he likes, and no one can do a thing. what he'd do for just an hour alone with her. but the Kingsroad is long and His Grace is left with little else to do until they reach Winterfell.]

Yourself, then?

Time does little except age us.
