Sansa's sobs rang out as Josie tried to comfort her at the loss of Robb and Sansa's mother. But there was no consoling her.

'Lady sansa?" Tyrion questioned coming into their room. 'You heard the news?" His voice brealy a whisper.

"Joffrey had the pleasure of telling us, yes.' Josie told him as Sansa cried into Josie's chest. 'I think sansa is going to stay with me tonight, if that is alright?" Josie told him.

'of course.'

'Come on,' Josie led her out and Tyrion offered her an apologetic look as they left.

'I wanted to be the one to tell you both.' Tyrion found Josie by the fire looking up at the clouded sky. 'I would have been gentler than I assume Joffrey was.'

'He was giddy with excitement, bouncing with joy and sansa had to shove down her feeling, because starks are tratiors and blah, blah, blah.' Josie said looking over to him.

'I am still sorry.' Tyrion told her.

'Thanks Tyrion and... thanks for not...' josie said awkwardly.

'Oh, I would never. Not while she does not want me.' Tyrion assured.

'Just keep being you handsome kind self and I'm sure she will come around eventually.' Josie remarked.

"You know I had a thought on how to stop the union but I knew it would never work.' Tyrion admitted sitting down next to her.

"What was it?'

'Legitimize you, making you key to the north and then sansa would be spared and you would be stuck with me.' Tyrion told her.

'I actually had the same thought. Well not the legitimization, that could have worked but killing me off would probably cross their minds before making me a stark.' Josie told him.

'you thought to marry me?'

"So save sansa the trouble, yes.' Josie told him. 'I believe you are a good man Tyrion. She will grow to love you. I know it.'

'Marrying me crossed your mind?" Tyrion couldn't believe his ears.

'Is that so crazy?' Josie questioned.

'Not in my mind.' Tyrion admitted.

"In this very hypothetical,' Josie told Tyrion. 'You would have control Bronn, it would very inappriate for your guard to be flirting trying to seduce your wife, it already is to be honest his flirting, its constant and infuriating.' Josie informed him.

"I can talk to Bronn but he wont listen on that subject.'

'Why is that?'

"Because you Snow are stunning.'
