Whore // Sandor Clegane // Tryion Lannister

My lion

Daphne liked little man he had spunk determination and he was brave.

'Are you in agony my lion?'

'No' Tyrion said but his face was pinched and his eyes were watering

'You look like you're in agony.' she told him 'the fire is burning your pretty soft skin.' she balanced a candle on her arm, his arm pressed up against hers he pulled his arm back the candle dropping to the ground Daphne and Bronn laughed out

'Damn you Woman! are you immune to pain?' Tyrion questioned

'I'm just used to it.' Daphne said softly.

'Drink.' Bronn said

'Let's play a new game.' Tyrion suggested.

'There's a bravvo's knife game I could teach you?' Bronn suggested

'Does it involve the potential for losing fingers?' Tyrion questioned

'Not if you win.' Bronn smirked back at them making daphne laugh.

'No.' Tyrion told him 'no fire games no knife games let's do something I'm good at.'

'What are you good at?' Daphne questioned

'I happen to be a great judge of character.' Tyrion told her.

'This seems like a boring game.' Bronn told him

'It's not.' Tyrion assured him. 'here's how it work I make a statement about your past if I am right you drink If I'm wrong I drink and no lying I will know if you're lying.'

'I don't know that I want to play this game.' Daphne informed him

'All right Bronn first then.' Tyrion said and he stared deeply at bronn, trying to figure him out.

'I'm ready.' Bronn said pouring a drink

'Your father beat you.' Tyrion declared, Bronn took a drink

'But my mother hit harder.' Bronn told him

'You killed your first man before you were 12.'

'It was a woman.' Bronn corrected Tyrion took a drink.' She swung an ax at me.' Bronn informed Daphne

'You have been north of the wall.' Tyrion went on and again Bronn took a drink

'What brought you up there?' daphne questioned.

'Work.' Bronn told Daphne simply

'And –' tyrion went on 'you once loved a woman many years ago but it turned out badly so you've never let yourself love again... oh wait that's me.' Tyrion said taking a drink. He looked Daphne as bronn pouredt him another drink. 'your turn my mysterious beauty.' Tyrion told daphne. She just smiled at them.

'Come on it's fun look at how much fun we're having...' She nodded sitting up to face him 'wonderful wonderful.' he said looking over pretty face. 'your mother was a whore.' she took a sip. 'Your father left the family when you were very young never to return.'

'I suppose you're right but I don't know who he is and he doesn't know I exist so maybe you're wrong.' he took a drink

'Fair enough... You wanted a different life you came from somewhere and you wanted to be elsewhere.'

'I never really thought of elsewhere.' Daphne admitted 'once I got out of the north once I went to the capital... It was nice there.' she said thinking of Sandor. Tyrion took a drink

'That's a piss poor question and you know it.' Bronn told him

'Fine you want specifics...'

'Nope it's my turn.' Daphne said and he smiled over at her leaning back

'Ask away my darling girl.' Tyrion told her 'Try and penetrate the enigma that is me.'

'Who were you in love with?' Daphne questioned

'No my sweet girl that is not how the game works.'

'I don't care how the game works.' Daphne told him

'Our Lord here used to be married.' Bronn informed her

'Married?'

'How did you hear that?' Tyrion question him incredulously.

'We hear lots of things when playing dice with Lannister soldiers.' Bronn informed him.

'Another night perhaps.' Tyrion told her.

'No please Tyrion not another night this night.' she begged and he looked back at her face big eyes looking up to him as he tried to walk away.

'It's not a pleasant story.' he told her

'Do you think my life is filled of pleasant stories?' Daphne questioned him

'I think the lady and I can tell more unpleasant stories then your lordship.' Bronn informed him as they got comfortable on the ground

'So...' Tyrion said sitting down next to her. 'I was 16 my brother Jaime and I were riding when we heard a scream, she ran out onto the road... clothes half torn off and two men on her heels Jaime scared away the men easily enough and I wrapped in my cloak... she was too scared to send up on her own so while Jaime hunted the rapers I took her to the nearest in and fed her.' Tyrion told them, daphne listening intently. 'her name was Tysha... she was an orphan and she was hungry.' Tyrion said with a smile 'together we finished off three chickens and a flog of wine impossible as it seems there was a time when I was not accustomed to wine I forgot how afraid I was around girls.' He smiled over at daphne. 'I was always waiting for them to laugh at me... Look away embarrassed or ask me about my tall handsome brother I forgot about everything except Tysha and somehow I found myself in her bed.'

'For three chickens I would hope so.' Bronn added

'it didn't ask long I didn't know what the hell I was doing but she was good to me she kissed me afterwards and sang me a song. And by morning I was deep enough in life to ask her for her hand. A few lies a few drinks a few coin and one drunken septon and there you have it man and wife for a fortnight anyway until the septon sobered up and told my father.' Daphne watched him curiously his handsome face once so jolly now so filled with sadness and remorse.

'Well I imagine that was the end of all that.' bronn said pouring himself another drink but Daphne stayed staring at Tyrion

'Not quite.' Tyrion told him, swallowing the lump in his throat. 'First my father had Jaime tell me the truth. The girl was a whore you see Jaime had arranged the whole thing the ruse, the rapers all of it he thought it was time I had a woman in my bed.' Tyrion told them and daphnes heart broke for him. 'after my brother confessed my father brought in my wife and gave her to his guards.' Daphne reached a hand out for Tyrion. 'he paid her well a silver for each man and how many whores can demand that kind of price? he brought me into the barracks and made me watch by the end she had so much silver the coins were slipping through your fingers and rolling onto the floor...'

'I would've killed the man who did that to me.' Bronn told him.

'you should've known she was a whore.' Daphne told him

'Really? I was 16 drunk and in love.'

'A girl who is almost raped does not invite another man into her bed two hours later.' Daphne told him

'As I said... I was young and stupid.'

'You are still young and stupid.' Daphne told him climbing into his lap kissing him Bronn made a quick exit not wanting to see Tyrion's naked ass.
