Back To You // Jorah Mormont (2)

26. Queen has Spoken

'When I was a child my brother would tell me a bedtime story about the man that murdered my father' Daenerys told Jaime as he stood before her. The man who stabbed him in the back and cut his throat, who sat down on the iron throne and watched as his blood poured onto the floor... he told me other stories as well about all the things we would do to that man once we took back the seven kingdoms and had him in our grasp.' Danny looked over Jaime Lannister. Standing before her, he didn't look too much like a king slayer right now. 'Your sister pledged to send her army north..."

'She did' Jaime answered.

Oceana was only half awake. Her night was filled with jorah and then san barging in on them saying he had a bad dream and he did not like this place. Too cold! Before snuggling between them. Jorah dressed quickly while oceana slipped on his shirt and nothing else while san got comfortable once more and proceeded to snore sleeping soundly the rest of the night while oceana and jorah had a silent conversation with gentle touches and longing gazes.

'I do not see an army I see a man with one hand. It appears your sister lied to me.' Danny told him.

'She lied to me as well' Jaime informed her. 'She never had any intention of sending her fleet north, she now has greyjoys army and the golden company from essos. Even if we defeat the dead she will have more than enough to destroy the survivors. I swore to fight for the living and I intend to keep that promise.' Jaime told her silently pleading for his life.

"I know jaime. Despite his bullshit if he is here its because he wants to help."

"One handed man that doesnt know how to fight anymore from what i heard." Sandor added.

'Your Grace I know my brother-' tyrion began.

'Like you knew your sister?' Daenerys countered sharply.

'He came here alone why would he do that if he were not telling the truth?' Tyrion suggested.

Sansa looked to Oceana whispering with her brother. She wished robb was here. She missed him. Her and jon never had the type of relationship to whisper in public. And arya and her... well they would never be besties but they were better then before.

'Perhaps he trust his little brother to defend him right up until the moment he slit my throat!' Daenerys threatened.

' 'We cannot trust him he attacked my father in the streets and he-' sansa began.

'If you want me to apologize, I won't.' Jaime told them. 'we were at war, everything I did, I did for my house and my family and I would do it all again.' He informed them.

"Jaime you want to live maybe shut the fuck up." Oceana called from the back

'The things we do for love' Bran said and Jaime looked to him. Horror on jaimes face. That got him to shut up.

'So why have you abandoned your house and family now?' Daenerys questioned

'Because this goes beyond loyalty, this is about survival.' Jaime told her. Brienne of tarth suddenly stood up, clearing her throat she was always one to be the center of attention when it was the last thing she wanted.

'you do not know me well your Grace,' she approached 'but I know ser Jaime he is a man of honor I was his captor once but when we were both taken prisoner and the men tried to force themselves upon me ser Jaime defended me and he lost his hand because of it. without him my lady you would not be alive,' she turned to sansa. 'he armed me, an armored me and sent me to find you and bring you home because he had sworn an oath to your mother.' she told Sansa.

'You vouch for him?' sansa questioned. Oceana liked sansa. She didnt like jaime but she was taking into account that maybe he changed since he first attacked ned stark.

'I do' Brienne told her

'You would fight beside him?' Sansa questioned.

'I would.' Brienne said with all the certainty in the world

'I trust you with my life,' sansa told her, 'if you trust him with her yours then he should stay.' Sansa told them. Daenerys was not happy about this though she was the queen she should be making these decisions. Oceana clapped out.

"Queen of the north has spoken!"

Daenerys really didnt like that.

'What does the warden of the North think about this?' she asked Jon slightly bitter.

'We need every man we can get' Jon told her simply

'Very well' she agreed. Grey worm handed Jaime back his sword shoving it to his chest

'Thank you your grace' Jaime said bowing his head to her but sansa had a weary look on her face. Jaime Lannister couldnt be trusted completely
