Healing Your Heart of Thorns

We Are All Truly F**ked

Tyrion soon finds out that he was wrong that it was his nephew the King who ordered Ser Mandon to kill him during the Battle of the Blackwater possibly due to the fact that both he and his wife are the only people alive who aren't afraid to scold and/or go against him in any way and as soon as he's able he tells his wife who goes with him to let Sansa know she isn't going to marry Loras but a complete and total stranger "let me tell her"  Lysianassa says Tyrion looks at her and asks "are you sure!?!"  she nods then replies "I was actually heading to go see her anyway to give her something so I can do both and you can feel relieved you have one less duty to preform"  he chuckles she kisses his lips then walks over to one of the Ladies in Waiting to let her know she would like a moment with her Lady Tyrion turns when he hears hurried footfalls heading his way then smiles when he sees two familiar female dwarfs carrying two beautiful folded gowns in their arms "I'm betting the one she was given is too plain for her so I figured I'd help her out a bit though I fear they might not be her style so we'll see if she chooses one of them"  he hears his wife say and he chuckles.... Lysianassa walks into Sansa's chambers after one of her Ladies in Waiting lets her and her guests in "what's this!?!"  Sansa asks with a smile as she looks at as well as touches the gowns in the two dwarf women's hands "I figured Cersei and her eldest would give you something plain so I had my friends here make you a few dresses to tempt you into trying something a bit more worthy of you"  Lysianassa replies "that is very kind of you, thank you!"  Sansa replies "I went with what colors these ladies said would look the best on you since I wasn't sure what your favorite color is so I hope they are to you're liking"  Lysianassa says as she gently takes each dress one at a time from her dwarven friends and lays them on Sansa's bed "they're beautiful!"  Sansa says once she gets a even better look at them she turns and asks "is there something else!?"  Lysianassa smiles a strained smile then says "if you'd like to get redressed perhaps we could go for a walk.... preferably without your servant"  Shea scowls "she can hear whatever you have to say I trust her"  Sansa replies which makes Shea smile "I'm sorry but I don't she has yet to do anything to earn said trust from me and this is a private matter"  Lysianassa replies Shae growls as Sansa nods then finishes tying up the gown she's wearing and as she does that Lysianassa tells her friends to "stay here and make sure the servant girl doesn't touch those gowns"  the two women nod and Sansa walks out of her room with Lysianassa leaving a pissed off Shae with the two dwarven woman they meet Tyrion who was waiting for his wife in the hallway then the three of them take a walk in the gardens and Lysianassa tells Sansa her "new orders" that are direct from the Queen Regent and the Hand of the King which upsets the redheaded woman but she tries her best to pretend it doesn't "you don't have to pretend around us Sansa you can be as free as this prison of a city allows you to be when you are with me and my husband your secrets shall always be safe with us"  Lysianassa says Sansa smiles a small soft smile.... a minute or so later Cersei storms over and seethingly asks "what is she doing in her gown for the wedding!?!"  Lysianassa replies "I had walked into her chambers as she and Shae were trying it on and I know how impatient you and your father can be so I rushed her out here for some fresh air and privacy.... which is very hard to get in King's Landing! I really don't see the issue and am curious why you had something so ugly and plain made for her for YOUR son's wedding after all she is YOUR guest which means how she looks and how she's treated falls on you and if people see her in such a ugly thing at the King's wedding I wonder what else they will think of you for not only allowing it but buying it for her!"  Tyrion and Sansa hide a smile and Cersei growls angrily "you'll just have to do better after all your "Queen Regent" so it isn't like you can't afford to do better than what you've done even giving her one of your old....."  Lysianassa says she pauses then asks "wait!.... this isn't one of your old gowns is it!?! my you do have terrible taste!"  Tyrion hides a chuckle Sansa hides a smile and Cersei growls in anger once more then replies "of course it isn't!"  Lysianassa says "my sister said you were susceptible to stupidity and I can see that she was right!"  Tyrion laughs Cersei stares daggers at him "we should get you back to your room Lady Sansa"  Lysianassa says softly Sansa nods then the two women and Tyrion leave the Queen Regent in the garden by herself  "why are they making me do this!?!"  Sansa asks as they walk "well the Hand of the King and the Queen Regents first idea was to have you marry my husband which would make you under their control completely but seeing that he would never divorce me despite his Will to do as commanded by those who hate him for all the wrong reasons because they are his family, you are a child of the North dear Sansa owning you means they own the North for though Robb is king I don't believe he has complete control of it yet especially since he's still at war and with you being the next eldest child.... to make sure that his own family doesn't force him to break his own heart and mine as well I came up with the idea that you would marry someone who can pretend to be my dearly departed elder brother who despite what they may believe will not make you do something you do not wish to do, those who grew up on my family's land are tougher than people believe and not as easily manipulated even by the Lannister's, it's all a Game or in this case a Play and we are the Actors acting in it we must do whatever we can to survive the Queen Regent, her father and her eldest son I did not come up with such a plan to save face I did it to save my husband for with as powerful of a asshole Tywin thinks he is he would have found a way to make what he and his daughter planned to happen despite the fact that he is already married cause they will do anything to hurt him, though they seem to have more fun hurting him emotionally rather than physically which I am partly grateful for as for me unlike so many others the Queen Regent, her father and her eldest son don't frighten me nor will they ever have the power to command me though they both seem to like to think they do!"  Lysianassa says Sansa smiles as Lysianassa continues "it was not my intent to hurt you in any way Sansa but in some small way it may keep you safe while you're forced to continue to live here for the man who's coming is doing this favor for me not the Queen Regent or her father.... I've always believed that love comes before duty and I have tried to do my best to keep my husband and his heart safe from whatever pains it and in many ways I may failed to do that when it comes to his family for even though three out of the five I've met.... I have yet to meet Jamie, have done whatever they can to hurt him for very stupid reasons one is because he was born a dwarf the other is a bit more personal and is up to him to speak of it to you not me"  Sansa nods as Lysianassa says "though I will tell you this in Tywin's mind Tyrion owes him for not doing to him what is normally done to dwarfs the day he was born and he will always make sure he gets what he believes he's owed and he never does it in a kind way and Tyrion loves his family despite the fact they do whatever they can to break him in whatever way possible which is why it is so hard for me to protect him from all they do to him.... Tyrique will be here a day or so before the wedding so you'll be able to meet him and hopefully get to know him and befriend him at least and if he does anything that makes you feel uncomfortable don't be afraid to tell him a man cannot fix what he doesn't know is broken"  Sansa chuckles Tyrion smiles when they return to Sansa's chambers they find Shae standing as far away from the dwarven woman who were standing by the bed Shae is surprised to see Tyrion walk in with Sansa and Lysianassa "guard duty is over my Ladies unless you wish to stay and help Sansa try on her new dresses which may be a good idea for that way if my ever observant eyes have failed to get her measurements wrong you could fix that for me"  Lysianassa says to the dwarven women who chuckle then nod "if that's alright with you Lady Sansa"  Lysianassa says to the redhead standing at her side "that's fine with me"  Sansa replies "then we'll leave you three to it"  Lysianassa says then she bows to Sansa and her and Tyrion leave the room hand in hand Lysianassa stops at the door which is opened for her by Tyrion "oh and perhaps you can have your trusted handmaiden who was once a whore and in some ways still is teach you how to fake it.... if anyone dares to watch you on your wedding night that is!"  Tyrion smirks and smacks her ass as he coos "naughty!"  he turns to face Sansa and says "I do apologize for my wife and hope you enjoy the rest of your day"  he bows to her then he and his wife leave the room and Sansa looks at a pissed off Shae with a shocked expression on her face "come there's someone you should meet"  Lysianassa says once the doors are shut "he's here already!?!"  he asks she nods with a smile then replies "arrived this morning with his sister who just so happens to be one of the dressmakers"  he shakes his head with a smile then follows her to wherever it was they were to meet Tyrique....
