There's a creature here who killed my friend, and injured my brother. I don't know what it calls itself, but my friend describes a woman with eyes as black as pitch.

[ His eyes are far too bright to be human, a feral fire lit behind them ]

Have a care for yourselves, for it has, apparently, killed at least once and tried to do so more than that.

[ And then almost absently ]

Findekano, my king, I ask your blessing on my hunt.

[ And you know, permission to torture and play with his prey but he won't say that aloud ]

[she stills his hands] Keep it. I want you to keep it.

I am honored that you've done it. [she says warmly] Then, let's get you inside. I'll cook something for you.

[bythewaves]

[ He smiles, and folds it carefully to stow away ]

Thank you, Margaery - I will keep it safe. And a hot meal would not go amiss, right now!

[roseofthetyrells]

[her smile widens, pleased to see him do that]

I am grateful. And I'm cooking for you. [she waggles a finger playfully] Don't try to talk me out of it.

[bythewaves]

[ He laughs softly ]

Who am I to refuse? THank you, Margaery.

[roseofthetyrells]

Good. There's this recipe for a squash casserole I want to try. That will do you good to fill you up.

[ He chuckles, relaxing, the fell fury of his people settling into something quiet again, a cloud coming across the sun. ]

Then I am at your disposal, milady!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she reaches tentatively to take his arm]

Good. I'll cook enough for everyone. And you must tell me about the battle. [she hesitates a moment] Please?

[bythewaves]

[ He smiles at allows it easily ]

Thank you, Margaery. And if you like - there's not much to tell, really. No great battle this - it was shamefully easy to kill without it's minions.

[roseofthetyrells]

[she gives it a squeeze]

I still want to hear everything. I know that eventually, she'll be back, but I can't help being pleased that she's not here now.

Handwave the talk or end here?

[bythewaves]

I'm glad we can give you that much! But there, let us go in and rest.

Ending here is fine!

[roseofthetyrells]

Yes, you need to rest and get some food!
