Faceless // Jaqen H'ghar

Tell her Goodbye

'when a woman finds herself. Tell her a man says goodbye.' Jaqen told sera. She picked back up her staff, sucking in a deep breath.

'you are searching for yourself, no?' Jaqen went on. 'searching for a new you. Someone strong and brave.'

'you promised me-'

'I make no such promises.'

'you said you could help me.' sera told him.

'I am.' He assured. She gripped the staff in her hands tighter. She took a swing which he avoided easily enough and whacked her in the back she stumbled forward.

'when you finally find yourself, you need to let her go.'

'how?' sera questioned hopelessly. But this time she caught him with her staff, he stumbled back, but quickly righted his footing.

'when a woman finds Seraphina Lannister, that last piece of her, a woman must tell that scared girl, a man found sobbing on the docks, goodbye. A woman is not her, stop looking for her.' Jaqen told her. 'that is how you will become no one.'

Seraphina stood at the waters edge, thinking it over.

'Seraphina Lannister.' She said confidently. Staring down at her reflection, Jaqen watched her silently from the room. She sucked in a deep breath letting it out in a whoosh. 'Seraphina... Rose... Lannister...' she repeated. 'Goodbye.' She released the ring from her clenched fist, letting it fall into the depths below. 'Goodbye.' She took another steadying breath before heading back in, Jaqen went unnoticed, once sera was inside he dove down into the water coming up with the ring. He pulled himself onto the ledge of the temple and examined it. He noticed a tiny lion carved into it. It looked like a wedding band but sera had told him she wasn't married. The mother. He assumed. He pocketed the ring, when a girl was no one could she truly be able to hold such a thing and not have it hold her back.
