Thread: Of Wolves and Lions (Iikaitlynii & Cold)

The two came back in the Great Hall just moments after everyone was back in position which seemed to be perfect timing. Just from the sense of it most of the other girls seemed all giddy and probably thinking they were going to get picked. None of them seemed to care that time felt like it was standing still in a painful way. Catelyn stepped forward and if Rowenna were being truthful she had only been half paying attention. All she could think about was once this was over she could go back to her room, or even go outside to her favorite spot, or just anything that she could do other than be here right now. Hearing her name had been a shock and snapped her right out of those thoughts. Somehow it felt like a cruel joke. Surely she had just heard wrong and they really said someone else.. Realizing she needed to speak the girl quickly tried to mask the shock and surprise she felt and remember to respond how she would be expected to. I will, if it pleases him, My Lady. Thankfully her voice sounded more confident and unwavering than she actually felt. It still felt like some joke was being played on her and that someone would burst out laughing and tell her that her facial expression had been priceless. I don't think Ned being at the wall would be an influence as far as Robb becoming King. Since he would technically be lord of the house since the Nights Watch can't hold any lands and blah blah blah lol. But if Ned was alive I could see him wanting to persuade Robb to side with Stannis like he did. I don't know it's hard to say how it would play out if Ned had survived. It's hard to imagine them siding with the Lannisters though, lol. Cersei had entered her room and only then had made any note of the red and gold dress that she wore. The colors of House Lannister had always suited her well. That and green clothing to match her eyes. But what she wore never really mattered to her since all her clothes were lavish and extravagant that it would be hard for one to tell if she was dressing up for them or not. Taking a seat at her table she had a servant come over and pour her a glass of wine. Letting the wine swirling in the cup for a moment she finally allowed the surface to grace her lips as she took a drink while waiting for the sound of the door opening. Not more than a few minutes later the guards let her know that Ser Adam was there she nodded for him to be allowed in and he immediately kneeled upon entering. Shooing the servant out of the room it was just the two of them left alone once the door was closed again. I did. You may rise, Ser Adam, she told him. This was the first time she had ever given an ounce of thought to look her attentions outside of the family. Within the family it didn't seem so much like cheating on her brother, but with him gone for a while she had her needs to attend to rather than thinking how he would react if he ever found out. You've been in the Capitol a number of years now, am I right? She asked. While she didn't necessarily interact with many of the people, she did like to keep tabs on who all of importance was in the city. he was a comely man which made it interesting why he was still unwed. Unless he was just the sort to like going to brothels and not deal with a spouse.
