[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.]

Maybe I know summin'. Maybe I don't.

[ Brow lift. That's right, Gavroche. Con the royalty. ] Gimmie summa your coin, I'll tell you.

[Jaime can't help but smile at the decidedly bold little boy. But he's not about to fall for it.]

I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. You don't get the gold until you tell me what you know. Otherwise, how am I to know that you know anything useful at all? You might just be trying to trick me.

That's life on the streets, m'sieur. [ Caught. He'll frown deeply, and hmm and hah, and try to pretend he's not pretty impressed someone that looks so noble knowing the way the gutters work. ]

Lessee... There's a blonde with green eyes, I know. But I can't tell if she's a he or not. [ Silly elves. ]

Is that so? [He takes a moment to consider. Surely even a child could tell that Cersei was undoubtedly a woman. But this is the best lead he's had, thus far, and if there's even the slightest chance that it might be her, he has to know.]

Do you know where she is? Could you take me to her?

Ah.

Maybe. [ Grin. ]

Gimmie summin', I'll give you directions.

[Jaime smiles, shakes, his head, and retrieves a gold coin from his purse, which he holds up for the boy to see.]

Tell me where I can find her, and this is yours.

[ He'll give him directions to Thranduil's place, of course--or at least where the Elvenking can be found. ]

An' the coin? When'll you gimmie?

As soon as you tell me what I want to know.

[He considers a moment.]

Where are you now? We can meet somewhere and trade.
