Melisandre - Fluff

˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖

It was quiet, the only noise were comming from your footsteps, as you were walking through the empty halls. It was night and you couldn't sleep. After hours of tossing and turning in your bed you had decided that you would be able to sleep. You stood up and dressed to walk around the halls. If sleep couldn't find you, you musst find it, you thought.

After walking for some minutes you reached the library. It was so magical in there, maybe a book could get your attention in this restless night.

You opened the door quietly and heared a sob. It stoped after hearing you enter. Do I really want to put up with this, do I have the nerves? But the you decided that maybe you couldn't sleep for a purpose and this might me it.

Nervously you closed the door, not recognising the sob with anyone you knew. Slowly you walked toward were you thought the sound came from.

Your little heels clicked, making you sound more intimidating than you were. One more shelve and then you saw her. The red lady, Melisandre.

Your breath stoped for a moment, but it was too short for her to notice. Her head lifted up a bit and her puffy eyes met yours.

You actually never met her privately. Sure, of course you have seen her, who hasn't? But she was always surrounded by Snow or you weren't around to see what she was up to. At the end of the day, you were only a maid.

Melisandre could hold your stare any longer and broke the eye contact by looking out into the stary, cold night.

Without a word you sat next to her, unsure how to comfort her. How do you confort a witch, you asked yourself.

Nervously you pulled yourself together.

"What happend, why are you sad?" You asked. You could feel the tension in the air, but there was no turning back now.

"Well... I..." She trailed off and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Without thinking clear you whipped it off with your thumb. You both were surprised by your action. You tried to cover it up by stating that she didn't have to tell you.

She turned her head to look at you. Even with her unchanged sad expression, she was breath taking. You never realised how beautiful she was until this very moment. Maybe she saw that you genuinely wanted to help her, but she decided to talk.

"It's.. it's just that I was wrong. It never really happened so far that my misjudgement had such great conciquences. I feel terribly." Her vent got interrupted by a sob and she turned to burry her head on your shoulder.

Out of reflex you opened your arm and let her fall into your warm embrace. You didn't know why, but you felt with Melisandre. You knew that everyone talked about her behind her back, she probably knew too, but she stayed strong.

A feeling of compassion washed over you, as you saw her head rested on your chest, crying silent tears. You couldn't let her be sad like this.

"Look, I know what you did." You felt her grow tense by that statement, so you started stroking her back to confort her. "I think it isn't your fault. Everyone makes mistakes and if someone has as much power as you have, it's natural that your mistakes have a larger impact. I don't think that any person who judges you could have done it differently. Don't guilt trip yourself when you can't make things undone. Learn and move on. I believe in you." You ended your speech with a sign.

Your mind was racing. You just spoke your mind infront of an older woman, probably, and maybe said the right words? Before you could drive yourself mad with overthinking she rose from my embrace and looked at you.

"Thanks", it was almost just a whisper. It didn't seem like much, but to you it really meant something. You actually managed to console her. Your only response was a weak, encouraging smile.

She moved again and you thought she might leave but instead she returned to her position in your embrace and you welcomed her by pulling her a little closer with your free arm and stroking her back.

With that you both fell asleep.
