Mirrorball / Sansa Stark Out now!

'you are a fool. I had it covered.' Jaime began but Tyrion shook his head. 'I made a deal for you to keep your ungrateful head on your ungrateful neck just a little while longer.'

'I'm sorry what am I grateful for? to live and die at the wall as punishment for a crime I did not commit?' Tyrion questioned.

'You threw it away.' Jamie told him 'it is not a joke you understand that.'

'Of course it is a joke it's just not a very funny one. I couldn't listen to her standing there telling her lies I couldn't do it.' Tyrion told him

'You fell in love with a whore.'

'yes I fell in love with a whore.' tyrion admitted 'and I was stupid enough to think she had fallen in love with me. That deal you made it was everything father wanted he gets you back his heir the future Lord of the rock while he ships up me off the castle black out of sight and out of mind also perfect. It felt good to take that from him, he knows I am innocent and he's willing to sacrifice me anyways.'

'He would sacrifice any of us.' Jaime remarked.

'Not you, you are the golden son. You kill the king and a hand and fucked your own sister you will always be the golden son.' Tyrion admitted.

''Careful I'm the last friend you've got.''

''no father was never going to, cercei was never going to let me live. You know that.' Tyrion said sitting in his cell once again.

'I could have convinced them...'

'no you couldn't have...' he told Jaime

'you are not dying.' Jaime told him.

'you will stand for me?'

'no but...'

'so you know who cercei is choosing? Her champion?'

'Ser gregor.' Jaime said simply.

'wonderful. Its not like he is the most feared beast in all westeros. Not even the hound could take on the mountain... fuck.'

"Are you sure Gregor?" 

"I kill him." Gregor agreed. 

"Trial by combat is just... its to the death." Verena reminded him. 

"The queen chose me." Gregor reminded her. 

"You could say no." Verena offered with a shrug. 

"I'm a tough fucker to kill, Vee. I will kill him." Gregor assured, he wasnt worried at all but Verena hated the idea of all of this but Gregor was never nervous. People thought he was dim but he had the mind of a warrior, fearless but fear keeps you alive sometimes. He kissed her rough and hard and she offered him a small smile. "Tough fucker." He put a finger to his chest and then put that beefy finger to her stomach. "Tough fucker in the making." Verena giggled back at him. 

"Hopefully not as large." Verena agreed. 

"Our tough little fucker, Vee." 

"Yeah." She agreed kissing his cheek. 

"We met, you and I. Many years ago." Oberyn told Tyrion.

"I think I would have remembered that." Tyrion said distractedly.

"Unlikely. You had just been born. Our father brought me and my sister Elia with him on a visit to Casterly Rock. My first time away from Dorne. I didn't like anything about the Rock. Not the food, not the weather, not your accents. Nothing. But the biggest disappointment, you." Oberyn informed him.
