The Hound, the Imp and the Cripple // Tyrion Lannister

Forgive them

But kitty didn't make it far, she heard the footsteps in the snow and turned hiding behind a tree. Jaime was slowly approaching. Bian sat in his chair in the snow facing a beautiful red leaf tree

'I'm sorry for what I did to you' Jaime said after moments hesitation

'You weren't sorry then, you were protecting your family.' Bran reminded him

'I am not that person anymore' Jaime told him

'You would still be that person if you hadn't pushed me out the window and I would still be Brandon Stark.' Bran told him

'You're not?' Jaime questioned

'No, I am something else Now.' Bran told him.

'You're not angry with me?'

'I'm not angry at anyone anymore' bran said and kitty thought on that. not angry at anyone any more. She knew bran had been through a lot. She knew all her siblings had been through a lot... how could bran sit there in front of the person that took his legs and not be outragged?

'Why didn't you tell them?' Jaime question

'You won't be able to help us in this fight if I let the murder you first.' Bran assured him

'What about afterwards?'

'How do you know there is an afterwards?' Bran told him.

*******************************

'So we are going to die... At Winterfell. not the death I would've chosen I always pictured I would die in my own bed at the age of 80 with a belly full of wine and a girls-'

'mouth around my cock.' Jaime finished. 'your married now, I'm sure you could get one of the three off your checklist Jaime reminded him.

'At least so she won't get to murder me, cersei... I'm sure I'll get some satisfaction dying from that pleasure well I'm getting ripped apart by deadman.' Tyrion told Jaime, 'maybe after I'm dead I'll go to Kings Landing and rip her apart.' Tyrion teased, but not really.

'I want to fight for Winterfell lady Sansa' Theon said 'if you will have me.' Sansa run at him hugging him tight. Again kitty saw people forgiving each other, forgivness was hard. Forgivness required growth on both parts... she still didn't know if she could do it.

Tyrion was sitting on the steps when Kitty found him. She sat a few steps down in between his legs leaning back in to him.

'I talked to Brandon' she told him quietly.

'How did that go?' he put his hands on her shoulders massaging them gently

'He apologized and I think I forgave him'

'oh honey that's wonderful!' Tyrion told him her but she didn't have a smile on her face.

'I want this whole bloody war to be over and I want to go somewhere where I don't have to see them again...' she told him.

'I thought you said you forgave him?' tyrion questioned.

'I did but he's still not my brother.' She informed tyrion

'It'll take time. But I feel your siblings want to make amends-'

'Of course they do. now that they have been through their own drama and struggles they realize the shit that I went through, that they were such jerks to me when the rest of the world was wonderful of them... But once the rest of the world treated them like they treated me... Now they have empathy, now they have sympathy, now they want to be my sister my brother again?' kitty questioned shaking her head.

'katarina my love-'

'I don't wanna talk about them anymore.' Tyrion nodded pulling her back into him. 'I love you Tyrion and I love Dani and I love this baby and I love Jon... I don't wanna open my heart up and have them rip it out.' She confessed.

'But you talked to him. And you forgave him. And you were trying to start a new...' She nodded. 'Baby steps honey baby steps... I don't forgive them for what they did to you.' He told her 'I don't forgive them for how they treated you but we are in the midst of a war and we do not know who is going to survive. I think it is good that you are concerned about your heart because I love that heart of yours.' She smiled, tipping her head back to look at him. 'But baby are you going to feel awful if they die in this war and you did not forgive them...' tyrion told her.

'No actually. I think I would be fine.'

a/n does kitty need to forgive them and move on?
