help, require voicetesting so bad

Surely you don't propose flinging me into such a cruel, terrible worl— aha, no, it turns out I can't even finish that with a straight face. If the only family present would be Jaime, very well. I am amenable. It's not that I don't enjoy, phrase used with serious reservations, fucking with Cersei, or fixing King's Landing, but I do so long for the days when people weren't trying to kill me.

Are there dragons, by any chance?

You're a Lannister. And the less Lannisters in the world, the better.

[theimp]

Ah, the nuanced grasp of politics.

Tell me, are you and your sister much alike?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[NO WANT TALK ABOUT HER :C how do reply, this is hard.] No. So what?

[theimp]

But she is your family, yes?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Make your point.

[theimp]

I am very different from my family. I know what Cersei and Joffrey are like. But I remain loyal to them because they are my family, as you remain loyal to your sister. And I believe your sister would know something about the unfairness of being punished for a family member's actions. Nothing is fair, of course, so you must do whatever you feel necessary to live. Perhaps you will kill me, Arya Stark. Perhaps you'll feel better when I'm dead, though I've done nothing to you or your family. I hope you do, if that happens. But it probably won't, and I won't apologize for things I'm not responsible for.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[Why are you not the hideous monster she needs you to be. This is v. troubling.] You shouldn't stay loyal to them. the queen's a camel cunt, and stupid Joffrey is a coward.

[Pause. Paaauuse it's harder to say this:] And Sansa's a liar and a coward, too.

[theimp]

You can't choose family, unfortunately. I would most certainly not choose either of them. And both Sansa and Joffrey may grow and change.

[HAHAHAHAHA no he doesn't even believe that about Joffrey.]

But you remain loyal to your family because it's the right thing to do. I'm sure your father would have said the same, only much more eloquently.

[Until they try to kill you, then all bets are off. :C]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[Sob their fucked up families. :c Just have a look, SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT ABOUT JOFFREY EITHER.

And mentioning Ned was probably a bad idea. :c]

You shut up about my father! You don't get to talk about him! [Especially because he's riiiiiight. :V]

[theimp]

Very well. But if anything, I am a friend of your family, as much as I can be.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Lions and wolves aren't friends.

[theimp]

We are not our banner animals. We are, all attempts of society to categorize us or make us act otherwise, human. If we were lions and wolves, life would be much simpler, but we are not and it is not and oversimplifying ourselves into symbols may sometimes give us strength but is both short-sighted and unwise.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

I didn't mean literally! Your stupid nephew killed my father!

[theimp]

And I counseled Jon Snow, gave Bran a saddle to let him ride, and protected your sister from Joffrey. As meaningless as it is to say it, had I been in King's Landing that day, your father would not have died. But I was not there, and here we are.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[...Oh. She did not know those things. They make her uncertain. Damn it, why does she keep getting Lannisters who make sense.]

What did you counsel Jon about?
