'You should stand side face.' Arya remarked as gendry was practicing

'Side face?'

'Sideways.' She clarified

'Why?'

'Smaller target.'

'Am I fighting someone?' Gendry countered his gaze shifting to Taeylor as she came outside.

'You're practicing for a fight.' Arya told him 'You should practice right.'"

"Who is that?" Gendry questioned smiling back at Taeylor.

"A lannister." Arya sneered.

"She's gorgeous-" gendry whispered and Arya rolled her eyes.

"Boys." She muttered. " if you showed as much enthusiasm for your practice with a sword as you clearly are for your hair right now to look good for a no good stupid Lannister." Arya declared and Gendry stopped fussing with his hair and snapped towards Arya.

"Shut up Arya." Gendry muttered.

"No good stupid Lannister-" Taeylor tsked. "Im Taeylor Lannister."

"Hi im-" Gendry stuck out his hand but arya stepped between them suddenly possessive of Gendry. Wanting to keep him safe from every Lannister including this very pretty blonde. She didn't trust a single one of them certainly not someone that was falling all over Tywin Lannister.

"Go away!" Arya demanded. Taeylor chuckled.

"Nice to meet you I am." Taeylor offered as she headed off.

"Bye." Gendry said dreamily.

'Guards! Help.' Arya ran to see what the shouting was about.

'Did you see anything?'

'Go up there.'

'Go and see where he fell from. Go up the back.'

A scream rang out and the tickler was dead. Arya looked around for Jaqen, she saw him eating an apple a smirk on his lips as he brought a single finger to his mouth, one named done two more to go the ghost of a smile covered her face.

'That is strange.'

'Move away.'

'Stand back.'

'He's dead.'"

Taeylor spun around at the shouts then felt a hand on her and jumped.

"Tywin!"

"Are you hurt?" Tywin questioned.

"No. Im... what happened?" Taeylor questioned.

" don't worry I'll get to the bottom of this. You're perfectly safe with me." Tywin assured holding to her.

Taeylor was plucking at her strings of her ukulele. She hummed a little tune Tywin always enjoyed her playing. She was a talented young woman. And his cup bearer was another talented little girl it seemed.

'Who taught you to read?' Tywin asked Arya

'My father, My Lord.' Arya answered. Taeylor stared back at her.

"He didnt teach you mannors." Taeylor offered and Arya snarled back at her.

'I taught my son Jaime to read. Taeylor as well." Tywin recalled. "Taeylor was always bright. But The Maester came to me one day, told me he wasn't learning. He couldn't make sense of the letters. He reversed them in his head. The Maester said he'd heard tell of this affliction and that we simply must accept it. Ha! After that, I sat Jaime down for four hours every day until he learned. He hated me for it, for a time. For a long time, but he learned." Tywin remarked.

"Hes still an idiot sometimes." Taeylor offered.

"Yes he is..." tywin chuckled out. "So Where is your father? Is he alive? Who was he?'

'A stonemason.'" Arya offered.

'A stonemason who could read?" Taeylor questioned. "That's surprising."

'He taught himself. ' Arya answered her hesitation.

'Quite a man. What killed him?' Tywin questioned bluntly.

''Loyalty.'' Arya answered sharply.

"Loyalty to whom?" Taeylor countered.

"Someone not worthy of him." Arya snapped back. "A family he never should have trusted."

''You're a sharp little thing, aren't you?'' Tywin mused  

'Did... Forgive me, My Lord. I shouldn't ask questions.'' Arya stopped herself pulling her gaze from taeylor.

'No... But you've already begun.' Taeylor agreed.

'Did you know your father, My Lord?' Arya questioned.

'I did. I grew up with him. I watched him grow old. He loved us. He was a good man, but a weak man, a weak man who nearly destroyed our House and name.'' Tywin remarked, he was the Lannister that took their family into the future. He was hand of the king for 20 years and mastered the art of using the iron bank without returns, he was strong, he wasn't weak.  Arya stared back at him as Taeylor picked out a little tune by the dwindling fire. 'I'm cold.' Tywin remarked after a long moment.

' I'll fetch more wood for the fire, My Lord.' Arya agreed. Tywin moved to Taeylor and she  shifted leaningninto him as he sat beside her.

"Thats a pretty tune." tywin told her kissing her gently.

"Thanks, I'm working on a wedding ballad for us." Taeylor remarked. "I have a few lines I like but-" She shrugged. 

"You always were a perfectionist." Tywin agreed. 

Tywin didn't notice that arya took a scroll from his desk, he was too consumed with Taeylor, she read it through before running nervously she ran straight into a guard.

' Where are you going, girl?' the knight sneered

'The armory, My Lord.' Arya answered still clutching to the scroll.

'Why? ' he countered

'Lord Tywin sent me.' she answered nervously.

'What might this be?' he took the scroll from her reading it over.

'Lord Tywin gave it to me.' Arya answered immediately.

''What for?'

'To take to the armory.' Arya answered

'Why would he do that? Let's go and ask him.' He grabbed her arm but she pulled out of his grip running away.  'Move! Get out of the way!' he shouted pushing through knights and guards.

''Amory Lorch.' Arya shouted running up to jaqen.

'A girl has named a second name. A man will do what must be done.'' Jaqen agreed.

'Now!' arya demanded.

'A girl cannot tell a man when exactly he must do a thing. A man cannot make a thing happen before its time.' Jaqen told her calmly.

'But he's going to tell Tywin. He's getting away. It has to be now.'

"I dont want to wait." Taeylor remarked as she put down her ukulele, Tywin looked her over as she straddled him, kissing him hungerly. 

"Are you sure?" Tywin whispered against her neck. He filled them around so he was staring down at her. Taeylor's legs wrapped around him tighter his hands digging in her ass. 

"Yes." Taeylor had never been more confident and she pulled him closer, kissing him again as the door swung open, Tywin got ready to yell but the man dropped dead at tywins door.

'Guard!' tywin shouted righting himself as Taeylors bunched up dress righted itself as well. Tywin held her to him blocking her from the scene but her nose scrunched up at the smell. 

"I'm sorry, you are safe I promise." Tywin assured. 

"You keep saying that and bodies keep dropping." Taeylor half teased.
