MISC. ROMANTIC TENSION ✧ ACCEPTING ✧ ( @ircnbcrn )

          “ How, exactly, do you expect me to work with your hair if you’re going to get flustered with every twist? ” His voice sounds… strained, quiet, but behind the soft tones there remains a sharp quality there that almost resembles the usual, characteristic scorn, even if he’s too tired to put up much more than a token struggle.“ You’re… fucking - UNBELIEVABLE. ” 

          And yet the tender way he continues to part, interlace and braid his sister’s hair, kneeling beside her on the couch, is singularly atypical of him. The why of his involvement continues to elude him - he realizes too late that he never bothered to ask her the latter - but he finds that the motions of weaving the strands together have come back to him easier than expected. A result of too many hours wasted as a teenager, he supposes, politely capitulating to Sansa’s demands and participating in all the incessant styling and grooming that such requests entailed.

      touch him. this is only really applicable once you’re past the stage of physical intimacy, but Jack is an individual who usually goes from an initial physical/sexual connection to a romantic one lmao. Jack loves to touch and be touched, but what probably gets to him most is affectionate and gentle touching both in and out of the bedroom: running your fingers through his hair, hand-holding and general closeness. truth for Jack is understood most in the form of actions as opposed to words, so he is much more likely to respond to positive, non-sexual touching than he ever would to pretty words and flattery, because he knows that game all too well ( plus he’s been betrayed too many times to take people at face value tbh ).

       common interests. having something in common with Jack is super important if you’re going to win his affections. like with the whole ‘tell him when he’s being an idiot’/’be nice’ thing I mentioned in the other posts, it’s just as important to share similar interests and views with Jack as it is to challenge him with a different outlook or perspective. if you are similar to him or have similar interests then you are much more likely to pique his curiosity, because ultimately he yearns to be understood. so enjoying the same pastimes as him is a great way of encouraging him to open up, and it’s once Jack starts opening up that his heart is exposed and he’ll start to get attached.

        He overhears a woman — one not speaking through a smile, as the tavern wenches do — and casts a sidelong glance, looking as though idly counting the bar’s half-filled shelf of dark bottles. He sees her sharp jaw and her pointed nose; looks closer at her coloring, her cropped hair; takes note of her location. His brother, the handsome one, did this deed. 

        Curiosity nips at his boots, but he bides his time and takes another drink. What are servants of the Many-Faced God if not patient?

        When a fair amount of attention has been drawn to the new face, and when drunken men quiet down — if only by a notch, the better environment in which to approach — the man stands and casually walks towards her. He wonders what she will notice first: his curly black tresses, his hooked nose, the scar on his right cheek, or the gold tooth that shines when he smiles.

        “ Whispers as quick and light as the wind tell me of man who crossed a bridge during a storm,” he offhandedly remarks, taking a seat beside the woman and setting his beer on the weathered bar before him. “ It is said that prudence should come with age. Don’t you agree?”

“THIS GREYJOY chick, you trust her?”
