❅ Eight (Text)

[stonebird]

I have an inquiry for anyone willing to answer:

Is it common - in your opinion - to speak of lustful acts openly and crassly? There was so much I did not know before entering into my third betrothal and following marriage. I believe if the subject wasn't seen as wholly impolite, I might have been better prepared.

(Though that is unlikely. Reason: Ramsay Bolton.)

Of course I cannot agree with being crass. Surely there is a happy medium?

(Private to Margaery.)

How are you feeling? Do you need anything?

I would not want it near another being of power. Who knows what it might convince Delight to attempt?

Your second suggestion, however, sounds pleasing.

[roseofthetyrells]

Yes, I thought so.
Who knows how many times it would take? I would enjoy finding out.

Our energy will not dissipate so easily. Someone can watch for their return and see that they are dispatched immediately.

[roseofthetyrells]

And let those who would condemn us for it go to the Seven Hells.

[stonebird]

I am deaf to them.

[roseofthetyrells]

And I will simply ignore them.
They cannot judge what they do not understand.

Your death will be avenged and other deaths will be prevented. Those who disagree can do so, but their opinion will have no bearing.

If only it would stay dead.
Hope will likely ressurect it and we'll be in danger all over again.

[stonebird]

Then we must hold onto a hope of our own; a hope that cannot be extinguished by anyone or anything.

I'm trying, but I used to feel safe here. No longer.

[stonebird]

You are welcome to move in with me. The Elves live next door, so they offer more protection. I also have Winter and he is very alert.

I'll need to discuss it with Daenerys, but I think that sounds like a good idea.

[stonebird]

She is welcome too. I have the room and I would enjoy seeing both of you daily.

text, private

[roseofthetyrells]

As I would enjoy seeing you daily. I would also like being closer to the Elfhouse.

text, private

[stonebird]

They would like having you closer, I expect. Once they befriend you, they like to see to your safety.

[roseofthetyrells]

And I would appreciate that very much. I do know something of the sword but otherwise I'm quite helpless.

[stonebird]

I can handle a sword and a bow reasonably well. They can give you lessons if you desire to know more, but I trust they will come if we have need.

Sansa Stark, wielding a sword and a bow. The girl I met in King's Landing wouldn't have dreamed of such a thing. Of course, neither would the Margaery Tyrell you knew back then.

The Elves have accepted me as family. Under their tutelage, I have learned how to defend myself. They insisted upon it and they were too kind and patient for me to say no. I feel...safer...knowing I can survive on my own.

We have changed and I think it is for the better.

[roseofthetyrells]

They are most kind. I'd imagine that you would feel safer, given what you were forced to endure in King's Landing. Now, should Joffrey rear his ugly head again, you'll simply lop it off.

I would like to think so, yes.
