Apprehensive about apping (Canon is: Hannibal)

[feelslikeimspilling]

You just couldn't let me be could you? If you had to send me anywhere, why couldn't it have some nice, quiet place out of the way where I wouldn't have to bother with anyone. Somewhere with a lake or full of rivers, but no, you think it's best for me to spend what little free time I have, wandering caves full of monsters!?

There's something sadistic about you. I've spend long enough in your head to know it. It's unsettling to say the least.

[ Will's growing more and more frustrated by the moment, ever since the application was handed in. He doesn't like waiting, especially not when it's something he's not very happy about in the first place. ]

... You're sending Winston there with me too? ....

[ Annnd that's Will walking off. Seriously annoyed with his mun. Oh dear. ]

[ Will could feel her sorrow for him. It was strange for an empath, to feel empathy and compassion, understanding even, towards him. Yes, perhaps Margaery could offer him some manner of happiness and distraction after all? If only there was a way he could suggest spending some more time with her, without seeming too pushy? ]

I'd like that very much. Nature is a beautiful thing. Calming, don't you think? Heh, you're tempting me with such sweet words.

[ A smile then, as he managed to glance her in the eyes for more that a moment this time. He was just starting to feel somewhat at ease in her company, yet when he took full notice of just how striking her pale eyes were, how gorgeous her face and beautiful hair... Will found himself feeling anxious, almost bashful as ridiculous as it sounds. Slight colour to his cheeks. ]

Wow, I eh... Yeah, would you look at that, you actually distracted me for a couple of moments there... A real Dragon huh? Can't imagine what other beasts and creatures roam this Westeros. You're making me seem boring by comparison.

[ An awkward laugh, nerves getting the best of him. Actively trying to avoid looking at her no, so that he doesn't stare. ]

[tyrelltempest]

[Margaery can sense he's grown a but more comfortable. She smiles, legitimately happy at the progress. Margaery loves company, and would not object to seeing Will again, especially if she can provide some comfort to him.]

Well, should you ever find your way there, you're more than welcome. The orchards too, they're very peaceful, often I would hide there among the trees when I wanted time to myself. True, there are plenty of places to hide in Highgarden for those who don't wish to be found.

[Margaery giggles slightly at the tint of his cheeks.]

You're hardly boring. I'm sure you have plenty of excitement where you come from, too! Even without dragons and White Walkers and the like.

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Will was liking the sound of Highgarden until she mentioned how it was a perfect place to hide for those who wish not to be found. To Will, this just screamed of trouble. And it was troublesome to imagine such a lovely woman, innocently hiding amidst the trees for pleasure, unknowing of someone hiding in wait to harm her.

He hated how his brain did this, turned something nice into something horrible. ]

I'd very much like to visit it some day. All I'd have to offer from when I live, would be lakes and woods, covered in snow and leaf. The air smells earthy and the wind bites at you, really makes you feel alive.

[ A laugh uttered under a breath as he remembers fond times spent fishing in said lakes. ]

Well, I do get plenty of excitement in Baltimore. Just... Not the kind you'd like to have often. Um, white Walkers? You've lost me there I'm afraid.

[ Will didn't take long to focus on her mind. She seemed so nice, so sweet but there was something devious she was hiding about her nature. It didn't bother him, they'd only just met after all but there was something under her nice smiles and gentle voice. ]

I'm sorry I keep- There's something about you. You don't feel real to me heh ridiculous I know... It's like you float like a feather in the air, too soft and delicate for this place...




(ooc: sorry for late tag! Will got into his game and I was sorting out his ooc stuff. I really love your Margeary btw! I'd love to rp with her more often! Would you like to do a meme or a PSL with them at all? )

[tyrelltempest]

[Margaery's far shrewder than she looks. So when his mind flickers to the unpleasant, imagining some malevolent creature watching her in the orchards and floral gardens that Highgarden possessed, she senses it; sees it in his eyes, the fear and the anxiety. Even if he won't really meet her gaze.]

[But all the same she smiles, and tips her head a bit to the side.]

Highgarden would be happy to have you. I, in turn, would be happy to show it to you. Seasons there are...a bit different. At least that's what I'm told. It's far south, so even the minimal winters that Westeros has seen are even less intense in Highgarden. We are apparently still waiting on the great Winter that the Stark clan always warns of.

I prefer warm weather myself, for that very reason. The sweet smell of ripening fruit and blossoming flowers. Summer storms and rain are unlike any other as well, if you ask me.

White Walkers...hmm...where to begin...? Well, many think they are a myth. Bedtime stories to frighten unruly children into behaving. But, evidently, they are very much real. When men die beyond the Wall that separates the cold north from the Seven Kingdoms, they are said to be revived; brought back from the dead and unable to die again. They turn white from the cold and frostbite, and their eyes turn icy blue.

[Her smile is gone, talking about the White Walkers. Margaery gives a slight shiver and rubs her upper arms.]

They are...not creatures one hunts for pleasure...

[She tilts her head again when he says she doesn't feel real. Her bright eyes are wide, curious. Her soft smile is back again.]

Shall I take that as a compliment? 'Too good to be true' almost? Perhaps it is our differing backgrounds.

[She reaches out and gives his wrist a playful pinch.]

Did that feel real? [She giggles.]

((ooc: It's all good! Glad you got in - your Will is GREAT! You make me want to re-watch the series again lol! But thank you, that's so sweet! I'd absolutely be up for a meme if you have one in mind, or a psl works for me too! I'm all about AUs if that's your taste, if not it's fine! :) ))

[feelslikeimspilling]

Just between you and me- [ He leans in and whispers a little. ] - I prefer the warmer weather too, but don't tell my boss that, or he'll never let me have summer off again.

[ A small laugh, a genuine one at that, left his lips as they parted. Eyes close for a moment in a long blink as Will pondered on exactly how different the climate of Margaery's home world might have been. He could almost picture it from her word alone, she made it easy for him to imagine and for once in his life, Will was focusing on using his overactive imagination to muse up something nice, something he actually enjoyed thinking about.

He's expression turned to concern however, when she went into great description of the White Walkers. They didn't sound all that good and if they were in fact real in her world, Will dreaded to think of what they'd do, especially to someone as sweet as Margaery. ]

Hopefully you can avoid them. If I could, I'd venture to your world and see what I could do about them. Can't promise it would be a lot but surely trying to understand their motives would be a start?

[ Will jumped at first, when she reached out and pinched him wrist. His eyes wide and alert, looking her straight in the eye. A red tint coloured the tips of his ears and speckled like claret wine spilling from a glass over the bridge of his nose to flood his cheeks. It took him a moment before he smiled, then laughed, rubbing the back of his neck a little awkwardly. He's not all that used to physical contact, be it as little as it was. ]

Yes, haha, I eh, I think that felt pretty real to me.

[ He laughed again silently to himself yet his shoulders danced as he did so, touching the slight pink mark her nails had left before smiling over at her. ]

I'll let you take it as a compliment, like you said... Too good to be true.

[ Clearing his throat, his smile fading out as his nerves and the awkwardness of keeping their eyes locked started to pull at his impulses again. She was sweet, too sweet, and now Will would have to look out for her as he could feel a connection growing. ]



(ooc: You should watch it again it's an awesome series! I'm still waiting patiently for GoT's to start back up. And I would LOVE to do an AU with you! I've not done one with Will yet, but I'd be more than happy to! IS there any kind of AU that appeals to you most? )

[tyrelltempest]

[She tilts a brow in interest as he leans in, then she smiles and gives a soft laugh.]

Your secret is safe with me.

[She looks confused for a moment, then it dawns on her what he must think and she nods slowly.]

Ah...so you think that the White Walkers are capable of true thought. I'm afraid you've misunderstood. The White Walkers, legend tells us, were created long ago by the Children of the Forest in the spirit of vengeance. They were angry at my ancestors, the Andals, for their butchery of the forest and the trees that made their home. The White Walkers then evolved and began reproducing themselves.

I'd say their one goal is what it has always been: The absolute destruction of humankind.

[Her voice and expression are grim just then. While Margaery is considered by many to be bubbly and bright and almost naive, she is in truth very astute and cunning. While she has not yet come to her grandmother's level of scheming, Margaery is clever and has superior deduction skills on her own.]

[When he jumps, she looks guilty. Perhaps she had moved too forwardly, too quickly. She feels bad for the motion now, even if he smiles and laughs it off. But, if she's being absolutely honest about it, she rather likes the way the blush tints his cheeks.]

A compliment it is then. Well, at any rate, I hope that I have been of some comfort or pleasant distraction to you.

((ooc: Lol I've re-watched it almost three times, surprised I don't have it memorized :P I'll pm you with au details!))
