but leave the soul alone

Of course, Danielle’s reaction would be that.  He shows genuine concern about her choices in life and she reacts by saying something outrageous like marrying a Lannister.  “Sounds darling, after thinking about it I think you should go for it.  Perhaps a Vegas wedding would be nice, get an Elvis preacher and anything. Do I get any grandchildren out of this?”  He gives her a stern look, “be nice about your brother.”

Mason announced, forty five minutes late and stood in her hallway quite literally with Starbucks. He took a sip of his latte and stepped further into her home, waiting for his sister to reveal herself. 

"What the hell do you mean?"

Silence.

"Are you fucking joking?! No, wait, don't hang up-- wait! Goddamn it." Dani slammed her phone shut. This was meant to be a harmless prank, but now her entire apartment smells like straight up fish and the cleaning lady wouldn't come clean it.

The cleaning lady wouldn't clean. 

What a joke.

Hearing Mason's voice, Dani stomped towards him and had her eyebrows furrowed, eyes in a glare. "You are late. You are a disappointment to the House of Arryn, which is saying something since we're putting fish into disappointment Arryn #1's bed."

A sigh left Brian’s lips; he truly thought they could keep things civil.  This it however, he had no one to blame since he subtly brought up the Lannister boy.  Why can’t you stop fucking around with him in public?  He thought to himself, but somehow managed to keep that to himself.  “Because, I care about you and the choices you make.  Glad to hear you aren’t that stupid to marry him.”  Brian stared at her, “how is your brother a baby?  Because he hopes for us to be better?  He deserves betters, he is a good kid.”

"Come on, what is a little Lannister humor between us? We are still having a civil conversation." Brian smiled at the thought of his youngest child. "He isn’t the only one that dreams of such things. Sadly, he is probably the one that holds to the idea of it."

"My mother appreciates a lot of things that I say."

"No, he’ll let your mother see them and I might be able to catch a glimpse. Now come on Dani, I am sure there are a lot of eligible bachelors out there that would line up for you, preferably over the age of twenty."

Dani rolled her eyes. "The truth hurts."

"Yes, but Mason has nothing to do with me and I am stunned he is able to stop staring at himself in a mirror long enough to get someone else off other than himself. But glad to know Willa was enjoying it."

"I don't know how to tell you this, Dad, but they're both crazy old bats. This family never had a chance, on either side."

Mason: I though you were kidding, but, then again knowing you.

Mason: Forty minutes?

Danielle: That's a little disappointing.

Danielle: Thirty. Already got the fish.

Danielle: Don't ask me where from. HA IT'S NOT THE TULLY'S.

"Why not? I would love to have some grandchildren before I am dead and you’re my best hope. Do your old man a solid."

"I love grandmother. She's the most sane out of anyone."

"You should try to learn them or you might end up with a child just like yourself, which reminds me are you ever going to give me any grandchildren?"

"Because she's crazy."

"I’m fifty-two, it is too late for me to learn any. It is not too late for you though."

"Appreciative and sentimental are two different things. Besides, you don't want to give Mom anything that she wants."

"My type of pizza, how about you go get me a beer and I’ll order the pizza."

"Aw, how sentimental. If I didn't already barf everything in my stomach last night, it'd come up right now."

"Anyway what type of pizza do you want?"

"You know, I don't think you're the type to do that. Mom would cut me off in a heartbeat. But she's crazy, don't ever let her control the money."

"I'd never call you stupid, daddy."

"Oh, don't worry. I'd call you if I was in jail."

"So much effort. You ask too much. Or not enough. Either way, I got beer. Technically, you're paying for it, too, but I won't tell if you don't."

"I'm not good with numbers at all, really. I don't have to memorize credit cards, all I have to know is how to swipe them! Very easy. But if you want to buy me lunch, father dearest, you're more than welcome to."
