Lioness // Ser Bronn // GoT

I know what IN means

War was upon them. the chimes and battle drums rang out as the soldiers prepared for battle.

'Remember wait until-'

'The ships are in the bay.' Bronn said 'I know.'

'They must be far enough in.' Tyrion reminded him.

'I know what IN means... do you know how to use that?' Bronn questioned looking down at the axe in tyrions hand.

'I chopped wood once no... I watched my brother chopping wood once.' Tyrion admitted looking down to the ax

'I saw you kill a man with a shield you'll be unstoppable with an ax... don't get killed' Bronn said shaking his hand

'Nor you my friend.' Tyrion told him.

'Are we friends now?' Bronn questioned his eyes drifting to Tya coming towards them.

'Of course we are just because I pay you doesn't diminish our friendship.'

'It enhances it, really.' Bronn agreed

'It enhances it? fancy word for a sell sword.' Tyrion remarked.

'I've been spending time with fancy folks.' Bronn told him. 'Tya, as beautiful as ever.' Bronn complimented.

'I came to say goodbye... good luck and please don't die' her eyes drifted between them.

'I remember you running through an active war camp in your nightdress all to say goodbye to this shit.' Bronn remarked. 'because you just had to say goodbye, just in case.'

'I don't like leaving things unfinished.' Tya told him. 'without a goodbye, so many things left unsaid... it could away at a person.' She looked to Bronn when she said it. Feelings for her were eating him up. But he wasn't dying today... but it would be a good excuse to say it. To tell her. she stared at him like she could read his mind as a smile quirked up on her face, she turned back to Tyrion, giving him a hug and kissing his cheek. 'I'm totally fine with you getting trampled before you make it onto the field.' Tya told him.

'I'm never going to live that down.' Tyrion remarked.

'I love you Tyrion. Be safe. I cant live in this world without you.' Tya reminded him.

'and I without you.' Tyrion told her. 'I love you, I will see you soon.' She nodded, pulling away from Tyrion. Tya stood up looking to Bronn, she hugged him to, pressing a kiss to his cheek, it tingled, the touch lingering as she turned and left.

'Lady Sansa and Sarah?' Tyrion said

'Shae' she corrected bitterly.

'Yes Shae of course I'm sorry. Surely my sister has asked you to join her and the other highborn ladies?' Tyrion told Sansa

'She has my Lord but King Joffrey has asked for me to send him off.' just then Joffrey and Sandor appeared

'He's always been a great romantic.' Tyrion told her, as Joffrey called out to her

'Sansa! come here!' Joffrey demanded.

'I will pray for your safe return my Lord.' Sansa said turning back to Tyrion

'Will you?' Tyrion questioned

'Just as I pray for the kings.' Sansa said turning around

'Stay safe my lady.'

'And you my lion.' Shae said quietly before following Sansa

'Your king rides forth to battle, you should offer his sword a kiss.' Joffrey told sansa. 'My new blade heart eater I've named it.' Joffrey told her 'kiss it!' he demanded and sansa slowly put her lips to blade. 'You will kiss it again when I return and taste my uncles blood.'

'Will you slay him yourself?' sansa questioned

'If Stanis is foolish enough to come near me.' Joffrey muttered trying not to be nervous.

'So you will be outside the gates fighting in the Vanguard?" Sansa questioned

'The king does not discuss battle plans with stupid girls.' Joffrey sneered.

'I'm sorry your Grace I am stupid, of course you'll be in Vanguard. They say my brother Robb always goes where the fighting is the thickest but he is a pretender.' Sansa remarked hopeful that joffrey would die having never seen battle before.

'Your brothers time will come and you can lick his blood of heart eater too.' Joffrey said walking off.
