@tymptir said : i can't help you if you hide things from me , from garlan to desmera .
it is with the practised grace of a woman whose brothers have never been helpful that desmera turns, sizing up garlan with tired green eyes before she shakes her head. “ i do not recall asking for your help. ” she says softly, even toned – as sweet natured as is befit her station. desmera has never held a cross word out loud for anyone; she saved them for the quiet, when she was alone and could speak her displeasure without worry. her father had not ceased his intentions to see her wed, ever concerned that with horas and hobber in the depths of kings landing that his heir, whichever twin had not angered him more as of late, would not return home when duty in the arbor called. so his secondary plan had befallen to her, wanting to ensure a good marriage in the case that desmera should inherit . . . and she had not known peace since. garlan's appearance had not helped matters, had not eased her conscience any, more and more she felt as though she were the sacrificial lamb being fed to slaughter.
her cheeks settle with a light flush as she curls her hands around the handle of her pall-mall mallet, squaring her shoulders as she readies to hit her ball. “ in any case, i do not have anything to hide from you, either. ” an inhaled breath, and then she swings, sending the burgundy colored ball through hoop near the fountain. desmera turns to face him again, gentle, porcelain hands still holding onto her mallet, though she hardly looks anything near menacing. too sweet-faced, perhaps too akin to that damned lamb, again. “ i do not have a say in my father's intentions for me, garlan. ” a fact that doesn't settle entirely well on her shoulders, but, that was what had always been expected for her – of her. women like her did not get the opportunity to marry for love.

there was nothing more terrifying than the sound of dragon wings on the wind. of that sansa had become certain. she had not wanted this position, had not wanted to be the one left behind in the wake of a war that was not hers, nor cregan's, to fight. but duty had called the way it so often did for men, and stark - bound honor meant the lord of the castle had gone to do his part – left behind in his stead the only family who had not turned her back . . . or died. it had meant that when the wind had howled with something more than winter, it was no man who crossed the threshold into the courtyard to meet aemond targaryen, but sansa in her quiet rage.
sansa who had sent her cousin's son into the crypts with the maester and the master - at - arms, and every maid they'd been able to find. had insisted she would do this alone. whatever it was that he wanted, she would handle – and none else would suffer for it.
but as he speaks, she cannot get a hold on him. cannot track the train of thought, cannot understand what it is he's asking for in between the pretty words and complimentary syllables. she knows it is something, to hear a man of his infamy speak of forging something stronger than oaths and service – it is always something.
“ forgive me, prince aemond, i fear i don't . . . quite follow what it is you are asking of me. ” her gloved hands interlace together in front of her, a careful flicker of grey - blue eyes across his features, studying the careful twitch of muscles, each consideration even as his voice softens. “ if you have not come here to kill me, or my kin, then perhaps the northern air has done you well in the fraction of time you have drawn breath within it. ”
red curls billow in the wind, cold encompassing the courtyard, but sansa dares not to allow herself even so much as a hint of a tremble now. not when she must be the voice of those who needed her. nor would she dare allow him inside the walls of winterfell proper, not without a better promise of his intentions. “ your dragon will not like it here. ” she says softly, boots shifting upon the stone path. “ even visenya did not fly so far north with her. i cannot decide whether that makes you courageous or full of folly. " or both. those words go unspoken, though the implication remains as sansa shifts her gaze from aemond to beyond the walls of the courtyard, beyond to where she fears for the worst in seeing large wings of a dragon come to life again.
“ speak plainly of your wishes, and i will allow you both warmth for the evening. else i am just as keen to stand here with you all night, it will not be i who freezes first. ”
in my returning to this blog i am once again speaking it into the universe that the best way to start interacting with me is to send me a meme .-.

Lotte Verbeek as Giulia Farnese in The Borgias 2.01 The Borgia Bull
interview with the vampire (1994) sentence starters . . . i think.
@azmenka said : you fear too much. so much you make me fear.
there is an unnatural flicker in the violets of her eyes, a light that seems to drift from one pupil to the other as helaena shifts in her seat and casts her attention to maron properly, a cant of her head to the right, tendrils of silver blonde hair framing her face. a blank stare, blinking, as if she's looking right through him, as if he isn't even there, before pupils scatter and finally land on his features.
“you do not fear enough.”
she says softly, curling her hands into her lap, a slow, languid blink of eyelids as her brows furrow together. helaena was . . . accustomed to the idea of everyone else choosing to believe her words were little more than wind, wasted breath on false prophecy – wasn't that the cruel fate of the world? blessed with dreams of dragons . . . cursed to be the daughter none believed. until it was too late, until death had already wracked halls and strewn corpses high.
“krakens should not linger on land, lord greyjoy.” a breathy exhale as she shifts again in her seat, turning her head away to look out the open window. “you do not have the legs for it.”

one thing abt me is … (my) sansa is always gonna have some shit to say.
like yeah she knows not to say things to certain people and won’t, but the internal dialogue ?? the commentary … there’s a reason why the redwyne twins still can’t escape the nicknames SHE came up with for them 🙂↕️
