[VIDEO] Looking for a Girl

[born_a_lion]

[He frowns down at the open locket, perplexed. He’s been told that he need only speak, and it will carry his message to the masses. He can’t imagine how, though. And he’s not entirely convinced that he’s not being made a fool of. But it seems he has little lose except a bit of dignity, perhaps, and at the moment, at least, there’s no one around to see him. So he clears his throat, takes a breath, and speaks.]

I’m looking for someone.

[He pauses, feeling decidedly foolish. But the thought of finding Cersei is enough to spur him on.]

My sister, to be precise. Cersei. She’s very pretty. Blonde hair, green eyes… Essentially, me with tits. If you can help me find her, you’ll be handsomely rewarded.

[He offers his faceless audience a charming grin. He’s not entirely sure that his coin will be any good here, but gold is gold, is it not? And if his gold somehow fails him, well… he’ll find some way to repay the favor.]

Take me to her, and I’ll truly be in your debt. So long as she is unharmed, of course. If you’re thinking she’d make a lucrative hostage, rest assured, I will pay you back - in steel, not gold.

So. I believe that covers it. I’ll be waiting.

[And with that he snaps the locket shut, feeling a good deal more hopeful than he had just a few minutes ago. Cersei is far from quiet. Surely someone who’s encountered her will see his message. She may even see it herself.

He’ll be seeing her soon. He’s sure of it. And when he does… well, he’ll just have to demonstrate precisely how much he has missed her.]

I am acquainted with him, yes. Though, not closely.

He spoke well of you, ser. If you are who I trust you are.

[ this lie, she decides, might help her out. ]

Is that so? And what did he say?

[He simply has to know. This is a virtually unprecedented occasion.]

[steeledskin]

He said that you were very -- [ this should be easy, she thinks ] -- skilled. With swords, of course. And that there is perhaps no finer swordsman in the Seven Kingdoms.

Did he? [He can't help but smile at that.] Well, he isn't wrong.

And you're brave! [ she's on a roll. ] Brave like a lion is brave.

[ these are old patterns; perhaps she need only speak as she once spoke of joffrey. ]

Now you're flattering me. [Not that he minds. Really, he could get used to this.]

[steeledskin]

No, ser. Merely repeating what's been told to me.

[ a little bird; that's all. ]
