Olenna

'I would much rather have Loras married off to Tyanna Lannsiter.' Olenna informed Tywin.

'Tyanna is not an option.' Tywin expressed to her for the hundredth time.

'Cersei is old, loras is young. I don't want him tied down to her. to the Lannister name.' olenna hissed out. 'but a Tyanna Lannister she is the only respectable Lannister.'

'Tyanna in not on the table.' Tywin reminded her through clenched teeth.

'You may have the stomach for blood shed but this is a completely other matter,' olenna assured him.

'My stomach remains quite strong the only thing that might turn it could be the details of your grandsons nocturnal activities,' tywin countered. 'do you deny them?'

'Not at all.' Olenna admitted. 'a sword swallower through and through.' olenna told him, sipping her wine.

'His affliction, when a boy with his affliction should be grateful for the opportunity to marry one of the most beautiful woman in the kingdoms and remove the stain from his name.' tywin told her calmly.

'Did you grow up with boy cousins, lords sons, sons of your fathers Bannerman, Squires, stable boys?'

'Of course' tywin answered

'And you... Never...'

'No' he assured

'Not once?' She said disbelieving 'not in anyway?'

'Never.'

'I congratulate you upon your restraint but it's a natural thing to boys having a go each other underneath the sheets.' Olenna said nonchalantly.

'Perhaps high garden has a high tolerance for unnatural behavior.' Tywin suggested.

'I wouldn't say that, we didn't tie ourselves in knots over discreet bit of a Buggery but brothers and sisters... Where I come from that stain would be very difficult to wash out.' Olenna countered.

'I will not breathe more life into a malicious lie by discussing it.' Tywin spat.

'Lie or not I must admit many people find it quite convincing. Convincing enough to put sword in your hand and send them off to kill Lannister's and Tyrells thanks to a new affiliation.'

'I don't care what people believe.' he said offering her more wine but she covered her hand over her glass 'and neither do you.'

'As an authority on myself I must agree.'

'No if the rumors about my children were true then Joffrey is no King at all and house Tyrell is throwing its prized flower into the dirt.' Tywin reminded her.

'And if cersei Is too old to give Loras children... We are throwing another prize flower into the dirt it is a chance we simply cannot take. Tyanna though-'

'As i said TYanna-'

'Im not throwing away both my grandchildren on corrupted lannisters.' Olenna informed him.

'The uncertainty makes you uncomfortable.' He said it was a statement not a question. 'All right I'll remove it for you. If you refuse to marry loras to cersei, I will name him to the Kings Guard. I'm sure you're familiar with the kings guards vows. He will never marry, he will never have children, the Tyrell name will fade and high garden will go to the children of Joffrey and Marjorie.' Tywin informed her.

'You would have your grandson protected by someone who disgust you?'

'I will have my grandson protected by skilled warrior.'tywin correct. 'Who takes his vows seriously.' He smirked over at Olenna. 'so shall I draw the order? Or do you consent to this marriage?'

'It's a rare enough thing for a man who lives up to its reputation.' she said breaking his quill pen.
