Thread: The Wolf King and the Lioness (Cold x Iikaitlynii)

As the silence filled for a moment it made her wonder if reading was even a good thing to have brought up. He had already mentioned about not really being into it, and then to talk about history was probably boring to him. Rowenna couldn't really remember doubting herself so much before and she didn't like that feeling. But with a king being there it was hard t be unsure of the right things to say or do. The thought of men falling all over at a chance for marriage with her was quite funny, she thought. It didn't seem likely to her that would happen though. The Twins didn't exactly seem like a place people would be eager to come visit and marry a Frey. It wasn't the most extravagant castle, or so she assumed because of stories she read about much more beautiful castles that were further south of here. There was also the fact that there was older daughters her father needed to marry off before her and she was a bit fearful she would be some old hag by the time she'd be betrothed. But she never thought much about that and didn't think she should be so concerned about marriage. The only thing that truly ever worried her was that if she married and what would happen if the guy turned out to be not so chivalrous. As she tried to think of a way to explain what exactly she meant by the 'if I'm married' he spoke of Winterfell which she was glad for as the explanation wouldn't have been an easy one nor one she doubted he would really understand. Her eyes lit up at the mention of wanting to take her there. The thought of getting to see somewhere new, even if it was a place much colder than here, was a very tempting one. To think a king was actually interested in her though, it felt a little surreal. Not that she had so low confidence, but just that she wondered if he would even have considered a Frey at all, let alone herself, if he hadn't agreed to marry one of them so he could go into the south to fight. I would like that, she smiled but didn't want to be to hopeful since he could still be under the effects of the poppy and next time he awoke realized he wasn't all that interested in her. As silly as that probably was, she didn't want to get her hopes up for an attractive king. I've never been anywhere outside of home before, she admitted. The love of ones child was much different in her opinion. Both sorts of love were good, and both strong in their own way. It was hard to say how she would have managed to get through the marriage so long if it hadn't been for her children. There was Jaime too, but it was different having to hide bruises from him so he wouldn't do anything stupid and reckless whereas for the kids it was more to keep them innocent from the ways of a bad marriage. The mention of love, but not saying exactly who he was interested in had her curious. It would have been rude and not very coy to straight out ask whom the person was he spoke of. While she didn't think herself so conceded to automatically assume herself, she figured it had to be someone high up in the noble chain for him to assume he'd never have a a chance with said person. Or else they weren't all that high up but maybe just married. In a way, she responded to children's love being better. Nodding, the dinner had been a bit informative. If he did fancy someone that meant she would just have to up the charm if she did decide to want to take things farther. That would be a fine idea. Maybe once things have settled here in Kings Landing. It was doubtful to her she would personally ever be able to go see his home though, as there was to much to do here even once the crown was completely secure under Joffery's reign. The only possible thing that came to her mind for how she would leave here and go anywhere was if her father tried to marry her off again. A guard not of the Golden Cloaks might be a good idea, she agreed. If you feel up to the task then I'll accept. This would make it easier then her inviting him to meals with no true purpose behind them, one that she could speak out loud anyway. Not that he even really asked why she had this time.
