"And here I am ready to train."

" Why down here?" Jaime countered.

" I don't think you want people to see how you look swinging that thing yet." Bronn answered.

" Today might be the day I kill you by accident." Jaime decided.

" Oh, you won't be swinging it at me." Bronn countered nodding to Tyrion. "Tate Tully, right?"

"Thats me." Tate agreed. "You got a message for me?"

"I do." Bronn agreed holding out a scroll. Tate moved to the torch unrolling it. 

" I needed to see you and I knew you'd never agree to meet." Tyrion admitted. " You made me look like a complete fool. I thought I'd surprise you by hitting Casterly Rock, but you were three steps ahead of me. You abandoned the family home. Completely unsentimental. Father would have been proud."

" Don't talk about our father."

" Listen to me --"

" I once told Bronn that if I ever saw you again I'd cut you in half."

Tate choked on his tongue before marching out of the tunnels.

"Tate!" Tyrion shouted. 

"Leave without me." Tate demanded. 

"What?"

"If you dont die, leave without me. I will find my own way." Tate demanded. 

Cersei looked up from the bassinet when she heard the door push open. 

"Why didnt you tell me?" 

"You left." Cersei reminded him, unable to look at him. 

"You could have wrote." 

"I did." She agreed. 

"What the fuck?" Tate demanded. 

"The baby is sleeping." she countered. 

"Cersei-"

"A little boy," Cersei told him. "I have been calling him TJ."

"TJ?"

"You can figure it out." 

"You named him after me?" Tate rasped moving closer. 

"I know it was foolish but he looks like you. Its awful, I can't escape you and he is perfect... I lost my children and yet now I have a little you. A little traitor in the making." 

"Cersei," Tate countered reaching for her. "Hi mini me." he whispered down to the baby. His baby. Hells, he was a father. "You should have told me!" 

"You left." 

"Ravens." Tate countered before his voice softened. "Can I hold him?" Cersei nodded. He was still so devilishly handsome, it wasnt fair. 

"Do you want any tea?" Cersei pondered. "I have black tea and green tea..."

"I have some responsibiliteas and anxitea I would love for you to take off my hands. " Tate countered. "I need something stronger." She moved to the whiskey and poured him a heavy hand. 

"My kid..." Tate picked him up carefully and TJ opened his little tully blue eyes. "He does look like me." Tate agreed. 

"It's torture." Cersei agreed. Tate looked at her really looked at her and saw the past year, the year of pain and torment wash over her. 

"What happened to you Cersei?"

"You protected your niece." Cersei reminded him. "I told you before, I didnt have anyone looking out for me. No one but me." 

"And I left."

"You used me." 

"You used me." Tate corrected. "We used each other."

"Well you using me gave me a present." Cersei countered. 

"if you dont want him I will take him back to winterfell with me." 

"Nonsense." Cersei scoffed moving to him. "He is my child. Mine." 

"ANd mine." Tate agreed. 

"yeah, yeah." Cersei murmured. 

"I'm not leaving again.'

"No?" Cersei countered. "You came, snuck in with my evil brother-"

"If you knew he was coming-"

"I didnt know you were coming. Bronn can be bough easily however." Cersei informed him. "I  knew if you were here, it was my only chance."

"What do you mean Tate's not with you?" Jon questioned. 

"He said he would find his own way." Tyrion answered. 

"And you let him?"

"Jon, you forget your uncle is a very determined man." Tyrion reminded him. "I highly doubt anyone could stop him if he tried."
