Full Bloom / Alicent Hightower out now!

"Sansa, come here, little dove."

" My queen."

" What are you doing?" Cersei questioned.

"Praying." Sansa answered.

" You're perfect, aren't you? Praying. What are you praying for?"

" For the gods to have mercy on us all."

" Oh. On all of us?" Cersei mused.

" Yes, Your Grace."

" Even me?"

"Can I get you some iced milk and a nice bowl of raspberries, too?"

"Eat shit, dwarf." Sandor corrected.

"That would be great, I'm famished. War always does it to me." 

"Go Tatum." Tyrion begged. "You're on the wrong side of the wall." Tyrion demanded.

"I lost half my men. The Blackwater's on fire."

"I think that was the point.' Tate countered. "Sorry, sandor was my body guard when he turned around, I said yeah, seems like a good time for a break." 

" Dog, I command you to go back out there and fight!" Joffrey barked. Sandor looked down defeated however.

"You're Kingsguard, Clegane. You must beat them back or they're going to take this city. Your king's city." Tyrion reminded him. Sandor stared back at him pulling all the fight he could.

"Fuck the Kingsguard. Fuck the city. Fuck the king."

"Oh shit" Tate mumbled. "Can I do that too?" 

"Go fight Tatum Tully.' Tyrion begged. 

"I'm going, i'm going." Tate agreed, he wasnt gone long before he was back with the rest of the men saying what the fuck are we doing?

"Where is the king? Why isn't he with us?"

" Who are we fighting for?"

" Who leads us?"

" I'll lead the attack. I'll lead the attack!" Tyrion decided.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh Tyrion thats cute." Tate decided. "You? Have you ever seen battle?"

"Yes...  Pod, my helmet. Ser Mandon, you will bear the king's banner. Men, form up. Men! Men! They say I'm half a man. But what does that make the lot of you?"

"Real men," Someone snickered, Tyrion was sure it was Tate but couldnt be positive. 

"The only way out is through the gates. And they're at the gates."

" There's another way out. I'm going to show you. We'll come out behind them and fuck them in their arses."

The hesitated, until Tate stepped forward. He towered over Tyrion. 

"Alright boys, you heard him. Tonight we follow the half man to a half victory!"  There was a scattered cheers and confused mumbles. 

"Not helping, Tully.' Tyrion decided. 

"You need to be more motivating." Tate countered. "Fuck the king!" Tate shouted out, the men clapped out. "Give them something worth fighting for." He instructed getting down. "I'm not one for speeches... i'm shy." Tyrion rolled his eyes. 

"Don't fight for your king and don't fight for his kingdoms. Don't fight for honor. Don't fight for glory. Don't fight for riches, because you won't get any. This is your city Stannis means to sack. That's your gate he's ramming. If he gets in, it will be your houses he burns, your gold he steals, your women he will rape." Tyrion shouted. "Those are brave men knocking at our door." Tate jumped up. 

"Let's go kill them."

"I can take you with me. Take you to Winterfell." Sandor offered "I'll keep you safe. Do you want to go home?"

" I'll be safe here. Stannis won't hurt me." Sansa corrected. "My uncle tate is here, he will keep me safe."

"And if he dies out there?"

"Stannis wont hurt me." Sansa whispered unable to look at him, she looked to her feet. 

"Look at me. Stannis is a killer. The Lannisters are killers. Your father was a killer. Your brother is a killer. Your sons will be killers someday. The world is built by killers. So you'd better get used to looking at them."

" You won't hurt me." She begged her words to be true.

" No, little bird, I won't hurt you."

"For one day, all the beasts will bow to you. You will be king. All the stags will bow. All the wolves will bow. The bears in the north and the foxes of the south, all the birds in the sky and the beasts in the sea, they will all come to you, little lion, to rest a crown upon your head. And the cub said, "Will I be strong and fierce like my father?"

"Yes," said his mother. "You will be strong and fierce just like your father."

"I will keep you safe, my love. I promise you."
