Not annoying at all, I’m happy to explain, but I’ll put it under a read-more.

Dear grandmother,

In a couple of hours, Renly and I will leave for Storm’s End. I’ve never been outside Highgarden; however, your wonderful stories of travel are helping me stay calm.  I hope that you will come visit us in Storm’s End. I’m glad that Loras will be with us. I enjoy being reminded of home and could not possibly imagine life without him. Father has mentioned to me that he may come and visit, but, between you and me, I hope that he doesn’t. I know that there will be persistent inquiries about an heir (as there always are), but I do not know what he and I will speak about.  Every since I became betrothed to Renly, he has been distant. Do you know if anything is worrying him? I’ve asked mother but she didn’t tell me anything. 

Renly is a kind man. He’s gentle, fair and probably too sweet, but he’s good to me. I think he’d make a great King. He and I are close, but not as close as Loras and he. Loras loves him. They are always by each other’s side and there are times when I am envious of their friendship; however, I know it is unreasonable of me to be that way. Meanwhile, I must learn to hide those feelings and be a Queen. Anyway, Renly’s people love him greatly. Even Father loves him, but I suspect its because Renly is royalty. You know how my father operates. He really does have a one-sided mind. Meanwhile, mother does not seem to care. 

I’m nervous, scared, and excited about being a Queen. Father always said that I had a knack for it... But Nana, what happens if I mess up? What happens if our people die for our right to be on the Iron Throne? I’m aware that every war has a cost and I know that I must learn to deal with this, but I can’t help and think about all the families that will be affected.  Children losing fathers, wives losing husbands..... What if I lost Renly? I would be a widow and Westeros would be without a fair and just ruler. We would all be devastated. Perhaps I’m overthinking it. Renly is strong. He won’t die.  Perhaps I’m more worried about leaving Highgarden behind because I will be closing the door to my family, my friends, and my childhood.. I imagine that this probably sounds silly to you, but I thought that you’d understand my thoughts better than my own parents or Loras. You always have. 

Thank you for helping me become the woman that I am today. You realised that I had some sort of potential and helped me learn more about being the best version of myself. You helped me learn how to stand up for not only myself but also for what I believe in. I appreciate it greatly. 

Anyway, you must come visit us; otherwise, Storm’s End will be rather dull! Perhaps by the time you do come, Renly and I will be expecting a young one. 

Always,

The first character I first fell in love with: Tywin Lannister.  The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Ramsay Bolton. Season 1: Love Theon, Season 2: Hate Theon. Season 3: Pity Theon, hate Ramsay. Season 4: Fear Ramsay, pity Ramsay, love Ramsay, hate Roose. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Loras Tyrell can't match the wit of Renly. The character I love that everyone else hates: Talisa Stark (née Maegyr). I think she's more worldy, exciting, complex and independent than Jeyne Westerling. The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Bran Stark. Maybe I expected too much from him but his storyline's taken too long to develop as far as I'm concerned. The character I would totally smooch: Margaery Tyrell or Oberyn Martell. The character I’d want to be like: Davos Seaworth, not quite so morally strict as Ned but still has his code. Wily enough to know when to chance his arm. The character I’d slap: Viserys Targaryen. A pairing that I love: Tyrion and Varys. (Just beats out Arya and The Hound/Jorah Mormont and Daenerys Targaryen.) A pairing that I despise: Lysa Arryn and Petyr Baelish.
