Video || 02. A rose by any other name.
[ From all haggard appearance, he's quite hungover. Then again, so's half the city. Jaime slouches, unamused, against the back wall of the stables. Petals tangle in his rumpled hair, and one particularly loud orchid looks to have been actually knotted into place. ]
When we've all recovered, I've two questions. Three, if you feel generous.
Well, aren't you a perfect busybody! [ The orchid snaps, as Jaime casts his eyes skyward, imploring. ] Back in my day, rude little weeds like you didn't just trample all over, making everything their business! Back in my day --
[ Without warning, his hand leaps up to snatch the flower, crumpling around it tight. It wiggles and thrashes in his palm, but Jaime only grips tighter, until at last the struggling quiets. With a wary motion, he slowly lets go. The orchid hangs limp. ]
-- First. Many of us seem to have received a gift. If you will speak of it, I would ask what you received.
My second question is the graver. In your homes, what laws and systems govern men? What actions are crimes, and what measures taken against the criminal?
They ought to call you a criminal! [ Squeaks the orchid, faint and indignant. ] Ruffian! Knave!
Last, will someone help me cut this bloody thing out?

video; no you only get timeshare threads sorry
A rotten hand upon a string.
[ Jaime speaks, blunt. The flower gives a fluttery, dizzied cry of disgust, draping back upon itself in woe. ]
And you?
video; i will take what is mine with small text and brackets
Will you wear it like a lady's necklace?
[ she raises her eyebrows, wondering whether or not to answer him as honestly as he had her. she shrugs her shoulders and whistles, and a moment later nymeria's muzzle comes into view as the wolf shoves her nose none-too-gently against arya's arm. ]
She's smaller than she should be. [ but no less dangerous, her expression adds. ]
video;
[ Or a quarrelsome young girl. His limbs are not sideshow exhibits, Arya, gosh. Jaime doesn't flinch an inch at the words; drawl unchanged. Still, a flicker of tension creases his eyes as Nymeria crashes into frame. He's had jaws like those too close before to take comfort in them now.
And Joff here again with his sword, what blessed timing. The girl will never know how lucky she was that he hadn't found her first. It would be so easy, with a beast like that, to pin the blame of a mauling. ]
Aye, I've heard the same of others. [ That's what she said, or a comment upon Grey Wind? The choice is yours. ] Such a heart-rending reunion. The base, hairy whelp -- and her wolf, of course.
video;
A maid?
[ Arya scoffs visibly, even rolls her eyes because come off it, Jaime, they've all heard the rumors by now. He's no more a maid than she is a Lannister. An arm wraps around Nymeria's neck, tightening instinctively, and the look is practically the same from girl to wolf. They're here to protect each other, without a doubt. ]
Of course. I'd watch out, she doesn't like your family much.
[ Threats aren't exactly her forte, but she can make an exception here and there, right? ]
video; private
Then she and my brother hold much in common.
[ All of them, really. A loveless family is no threat but mere fact. He swaps the feed to private. ]
Beyond, I suppose, her stature. Will she refrain from shedding on me, do you think, at our own woodland courting?
