I Knew You Were Trouble // Tywin Lannister (1)

26. Down Bad

"I know you dont believe that hes guilty."

"He will be proven innocent or guilty by the gods." Tywin countered. "My darling dont feel bad."

"It's just..." Taeylor shrugged plucking at her lyre. "I dont know it feels wrong." 

"He will choose his champion." 

"Gregor is Cersei's." Taeylor countered. "Only his brother would be brave enough to go against him." 

"Shall I call upon the hound on behalf of Tyrion?" Tywin questioned with a laugh. Taeylor shrugged. 

"Where is sandor?" Taeylor questioned. 

"I dont know." Tywin answered. "He left many moons ago, probably dead."  Tywin saw Taeylor face fall. He forget at times that she was sensitive. "Or he is living a wonderful life." tywin offered. Taeylor smiled softly back at him.

"Why did you do that?"

"What?" Tywin questioned 

"Change your answer to make me feel better?"

"Because you are my wife and I dont like to see you saddened." 

'Your brother ever tell you how I came in to his service?' Bronn asked Jaime

'You stood for him in a trial by combat good for you.' Jaime answered distracted.

'Right but only when lady Aryn demanded that the trial took place that day you were his first choice he named you for his champion because he knew you would ride day and night to come fight for him are you going to fight from now?' Bronn questioned. Jaime stared back at him.

''whose the champion your sister chose?' Bronn pushed.

"Jaime won't do it." Cersei assured. 

"Because he is so far up your cunt?" Taeylor pondered. Cersei gaped back at her. "I'm sorry..." She chuckled. "Because your brother is so far up your cunt, Your grace." 

"I dont know what my father sees in you." Cersei hissed. 

"Well I told your father, And who's gonna hold you like me? And who's gonna know you, if not me?" Taeylor chuckled. "Your children are modern idiots. And who's gonna hold you like me? Nobody. No-fucking-body."

"You are a child and you act a woman."

"I'm your mother, you will talk to me with respect and stop making a fool out of your father." Taeylor corrected. 

"Jaime and I are... forever you and my father, you might as well be a whore."

"I know you are down bad for jaime. Everything you say comes out teenage petulance. "Fuck it if you can't have him... and maybe I might just die, it would make no difference." Taeylor offered. "So run your mouth all you like but I can make your life hell if you cross me. You think your father will tolerate your... bedmate?"

"He doesnt care."

"He is already disowning you sending you to high garden," Taeylor agreed. "If Tyrion wins this you really are dead meat."  

'My Lord.' Bronn said bowing before Tyrion.

'Do you have new clothes.' Tyrion remarked

'Do you like it?' Bronn said 'look at these gloves they're dove skin they're softer than a virgins thighs.'

'I sent for you days ago.' Tyrion reminded him.

'I've been a bit busy.' Bronn informed him.

'Doing what?' Tyrion questioned

'my bachelor days are over I am to marry Laures stokeworth.' Bronn told them,

'Laures stokeworth. she does not strike me as your sort of girl..' Tyrion remarked.

'I wouldn't say I have a single type of sort of girl.' Bronn said.

'She is dim witted.' Tyrion informed him.

'If I want witt I would marry you.' Bronn told him.

"You look sharp, Bronn." Taeylor remarked as she passed. 

"Thank you my lady," He agreed popping his collar. "Hey do you know of a lady Stokeworth?"

"She's... interesting." Taeylor answered. 

"Good interesting?"

"Interesting isnt the right word." Taeylor decided.  "Excuse me-"

"Wait-" Bronn countered but she was already running off. "How does a girl like you get stuck with old man lannister?"

"Riches." Jaime offered as he passed. "I can only assume thats what drew her to my father." 

"Or maybe he has a mega cock, the women want your golden hand up their twat maybe he has some skills, I could show her better though." Bronn assured. "Put in a good word for me with your mummy." 

"Fuck off bronn." 

"I'm trying to!"
