This is why we can't have nice things / HOTD / Lady Justice
Back to You / Jorah Mormont out now!!

Vaera was annoyed. Everything was upside down in the capital.  But at least Tyrion was back, safe and sound and hand of the king. In their fathers stead of course but it was still a big deal.

"Tell me again." Vaera requested.

"It was just endless clouds, layers upon layers of clouds." Tyrion remarked. "It was almost as if someone was pushed that they would just sit on the clouds, stay there a while..."

"Magical." Vaera agreed.

"It was something..." Tyrion assured.

"And the wall?"

"The most massive thing you can think of and multiply it by a hundred." Tyrion declared. "The walls were old and rough, etched with names and slashes from training and harsh weather." Tyrion recalled. "Everyone there wore black, leathers and furs. They wore their hair long and beard long too to stay warm and oh they had a pet raven it seemed-"

"A pet raven?" Vaera laughed out.

"Well he lingered often enough and never delivered any letters." Tyrion agreed. "But this raven said king constantly around Jon. You remember Jon Snow the bast-"

"Yes I remember him." Vaera agreed. "The raven called him king?"

"The commander assured me it was an easy word to say."

"And a fun one I'm sure." Vaera added. "Talking birds, how exciting. What else?"

"I'm sorry- Oh... hi sandor."

"You can tell its me?" Sandor countered.

"You are a wall." Vaera agreed. "A wall of man." Sandor chuckled softly.

"Just checking in on you."

"And avoiding Joffrey." vaera agreed.

"That too." sandor agreed. "How did you know the little shit wasnt here?"

"He didnt call me blind girl or belittle me so he must not be here." Vaera answered honestly.

"You know gregor would kill the shit." Sandor informed her.

"I know... he has offered but... that wouldnt be right. He is family and my sister loves him... even though he is awful." Vaera admitted.

"Most everyone would take a swing at him." Sandor murmured. "But thats the killer in us."

"But I think you are a good man, Sandor Clegane."

"You would be the first." sandor countered.

"At joffreys name day celebration you saved that man agreeing to something that was probably just nothingness." Vaera countered. "I see a good man, sandor."

"Well you see something in me that others dont see," Sandor informed her.

" I think its because I dont judge you off your scars like everyone else, I just hear and feel your actions towards others and myself."  Vaera offered.

"You are something else, vaera." Sandor whispered assessing her delicate features. "How did Gregor get so lucky as to get you?"

"HOUND!"

"I'm sorry you have to deal with him." Vaera whispered. "If you need an escape, feel free to use me as an excuse." Vaera whispered.

"I will." Sandor agreed as he headed off but he stopped turning back to her. "Can you make it back to your chambers alright?" Least he could do it look out for his brothers girl since she was the sweetest thing in the world. But vaera wasnt his brothers girl. She was a Lannister sweet and perfect and sandor wanted her.

"I think I can manage if you are busy." Vaera assured. Sandor hesitated as Joffrey barked out.

"I'm not busy." Sandor decided as he moved back to her.

"HOUND THERE YOU ARE! ARE YOU DEAF NOW TOO?" Joffrey demanded.

"The queen instructed-"

"I'm the king."

"Your mother instructed I see your aunt back to her chambers, make sure she is settled." Sandor offered calmly.

"Well-"

"Oh JOffrey please, I will wandering the halls for hours without him." vaera half lied. "You know how useless I am." Joffrey sniggered out. Vaera wasn't useless but joffrey liked to think so. Sandor
Sucked in a tight breath. He hated that she had to act a part to make joffrey leave her alone.

"Yes you really are!" Joffrey agreed proudly. "Fine. Deal with her." Joffrey agreed strutting off.

"I hate him." Vaera grumbled. 

"Careful, Vaera. you are starting to sound like a clegane." 

She missed her clegane more than anything. She missed her Gregor and wanted him back. Sandor was kind and took care of her. Vaera liked him. There was something about these tall gruff men that she found exciting.

"Excuse me... Cersei... can you bring me to harrenhall?"

"No." Cersei corrected.

"Why not?"

"Because its a war zone and-"

"Gregor and father are there." Vaera countered. "I want to go there, be with them."

"Not possible."  Cersei countered.

"Cersei-"

"Is the hound not satisfactory?"

"Oh sandor is sweet. Its just joffrey steals him often." Vaera admitted.

"Fine. I will get you another-"

"No. I like sandor. I want sandor." Vaera countered.

"Then what?"

"Give joffrey someone new." She suggested

Sandor smiled when he got the news. Heoved swiftly to vaera and picked her up.

"Woah!" Vaera declared until she realized whos arms were around her.

"You beautiful woman!" Sandor said still holding her.

"What did i do?" She questioned

" you saved me. I'm free at least until my brother gets back..."

" I'm very needy." Vaera offered as he put her back on her feet. " I'm glad to have you."

" anything you need for the rest of your life I am indebted to you." he told her.

" what could because I am going to need you to read me a few books."

" whatever you want." Sandor agreed. "Thank you vaera."

" I wanted you all to myself."
