there weren’t many things that could STUN loras into silence but what he was meant to do when he came across the queen rhaenys CRYING was beyond him. Fingers twitching and lips pressed together in a tight line there was the strong temptation to simply leave and pretend that he had never been there. alas however, the uniform and the armour made too much noise; she probably knew that he was there already. stealing himself he approached, the low wind that flew over the battlements tugging at golden curls as he moved to stand besides her; looking away from kings landing and over the sea instead but not yet looking at the woman besides him. the woman whose life was almost certainly as lonely and sad as his own. “ whatever he said or did I doubt that he truly meant it. ” the flowered knight didnt feel like he needed to clarify WHOM he was talking about.
It had been a while since Aegon and her had truly clashed over something, screams and insults exchanged it reminded her so much of years ago when all they seemed to do was FIGHT. She had thought they were past it and while she did not agree with most of what he said or did, the two seemed to atleast tolerate each other’s presence since he had allowed the children and her to stay. Now memories of most miserable time in her life came rushing to the surface, tears burning in her eyes and the Queen had gone outside quickly, not wanting to let either Valerion or Elia see and make them worry. Maybe her sobs had attracted attention or it was pure coincidence yet as she heard footsteps approaching she quickly wiped at her face, not wanting to let ANYONE see her so weak. Dark eyes moved to find the kingsguard she once so despised next to her and strangely enough his words did calm her atlast, tearing even a soft chuckle from her. “Maybe n o t--- he said a lot of stupid things in his years, I doubt he truly meant any of it. But just because he is the king does not mean he can be excused for any of it.” Voice still soft and faint from crying, hands rose once more to hide the track tears had made, somehow glad in the end it was Ser Loras who had found her and not someone else, someone less understanding.
