Treacherous // Podrick Payne

27. Boundaries

"I think we just stay in bed." Storm remarked. 

"For how long?" Podrick countered running a hand along her spine. 

"Forever." Storm suggested Podrick chuckled his hand traveling down as the door flew open. "Boundaries!" Storm declared throwing a pillow at Five. 

"The old lion was looking for your boytoy." Five remarked throwing the pillow back at her. 

"Can't anyone do anything by themselves?" Storm countered. 

"Nope.' Five said leaving the door wide open as he left. 

"You are a dick!" Storm called after him. "We can pretend he didnt find you." Storm offered.

 'The disgraced daughter and the demon monkey.' tyrion told her 'we are perfect for each other.'

'So how should he be punished them?' Sansa questioned

'Who?'

'The men on your list.' Sansa said as if it was obvious.

'Well I could speak to Lord varys learn if they of their perversions anyone named Desmond Kraco must have secrets.' Tyrion told her.

'I do not think that you are a pervert.'

'I am a demon monkey, I have certain standards to maintain.' he told her

'We could sheep shift lord desmans bed.' sansa suggested. 'You cut a little hole in his mattress and you shove the sheep shift inside.' sansa said pleasantly. 'Then you sew up the hole and make his bed again it will stink but he will not know where he's coming from.'

'Lady Sansa.' Tyrion said with a laugh.

'My sister did that to me when she was angry with me and she was always angry with me.' sansa told them.

'Why sheep shift?'

'That is the word for dung.' Sansa clarified.

'my lady.' Tyrion said blushing

'well you asked me.' she remarked

'my Lord my lady.' Podrick said running up to them 'your father has called a meeting of the small council.'

"Your father can't do shit by himself either it seems." Storm added.

Joffrey was at the small council meeting. Smiling widely practically bouncing with joy when tyrion arrived.

'Killed a few puppies today?' Tyrion question sitting down, at the opposite end.

'Show him show him' Joffrey said excitedly master pycelle handed over the note but it slipped from his fingers

'Apologies my Lord, old hands.' Tyrion bent over snatching it off the ground reading through the note

'Rosalyn caught a fine fat trout her brothers gave her a pair of wolf pelts for her wedding signed Walder Frey... Is that bad poetry or is it supposed to mean something?' Tyrion questioned

'Robb stark is dead,' Joffrey said 'killed him and his bitch mother.' He turned his attention to master pyeclle. 'write back to Lord Frey tell him thank you for his service and command him to send Robb starks head I'm going to serve it to Sansa at my wedding feast!'

'Your Grace lady Sansa is your aunt by marriage.' Varys reminded him.

'A joke.' Cersei said 'Joffrey did not mean it.'

'Yes I did' he told his mother 'I'm going to have it served to sansa at my wedding feast.' Joffrey informed

'No.' Tyrion declared. 'she is no longer yours to torment.'

'Everyone is mine to torment' Joffrey corrected 'you do well to remember that you little monster.'

'Oh monster.' Tyrion said 'perhaps you should speak to me more softly then... monsters are dangerous and just now kings are dying like flies.' The room went silent, as everyone else turned to Joffrey. Joffrey turned to his grandfather appalled.

'I could have your tongue out for saying that.'

'Let him make his peace,' tywin told him 'he's a bitter little man.'

'Lord Tyrion should apologize immediately,' Pycelle said 'it is unacceptable disrespectful and in very bad taste.'

'I am the king!' Joffrey yelled 'I will punish you!'

'Any man who must say I am the king is no true king.' Tywin told him. 'now make sure you understand that when I won your war for you.'

'My father won the real war he killed prince rhaeger he took the crown! While you hid on Casterly rock!' Joffrey shouted at him

'The king is tired see him to his chambers.' Tywin said and cersei got up leading him out.

'Come on we have so much to celebrate, a wedding to plan you must rest.' Cersei told him pulling him away.

'Grandmaster perhaps some essence of nightshade to help him sleep.' tywin suggested.

'I am not tired.' Joffrey shouted

'Come,' Cersei told him grabbing his hand. But Joffrey refused to move. 'Come on my sweet.' Finally Joffrey left, everyone followed suit, except for tyrion, the kings bed time meant an early night for all of them.

'Not you.' Tywin said as Tyrion got up to leave as well.

'You just sent the most powerful man in westeros this to bed without his supper.' Tyrion told him

'You're a fool if you believe that he is the most powerful man in Westeros.' tywin told him

'A treasonous statement. Joffrey is King.' Tryion teased a smile pulled at his lips,

'You really think a crown will give you power?' Tywin questioned.

'No,' tyrion admitted 'I think armies give youpower. I think the Hargreeves and their magical abilities give you more power and more strength than you know what to do with and you want Storm to win you the whole damn world."
