After the steamy confrontation of Ned Stark and Cersei took place. Selene turned from her hiding spot back to her chambers where she was met at the doors by Stark men. "What on earth are you doing here?" She asked with distaste. "Our Lord wishes to speak with you...on a matter we do not know the nature of my lady" the northern rogue bowed. "Oh seven hells I am no lady...im a bastard better get use to the term" With that she barged through the doors, skirts swaying ready to put the wolf in its place.
Upon entering her apartments she noticed Ned Stark perched on the edge of her writing desk, looking through parchments of paper, maybe looking for something to incriminate her family with...But Selene was having none of it...not today!
"What can i help you with my Lord hand" she turned immediately into a curtsey an act she showed as if there was nothing wrong. "You can start with telling me what you did exactly to Lord Arryn" his iron voice seething through to the girls ears a knot tightened within. "What ever do you..." "You know exactly what i mean Hill don't play dumb with me" he said in an irritablely cool tone, but the bastard knew he was in no mood to play.
"I see, well how about you start with telling me what you think you already know...shall we" she cocked her head with a devilish look settled upon her angelic face, her eyes revealing no stories and no secrets.
Ushering for the lord to sit she offered up a glass of wine all of which he refused. "I know about your dealings in the art of alcamey...poisons and such" he stated. "Nothing but an interest i assure you...but ive only put it to use once before yes that is true" she fired back at the feverish Lord. His look was that of disappointment and surpressed anger, she could see that much but deep down she was afraid no just for herself but for her family. Selene let out a soft sigh as she had grown tired of playing this chess match that was unfolding between them. "I'd suppose your wondering why am i wrong?" Fiddling with a paper weight in the shape of a golden lioness she had taken from the table. "Thats right Hill" he managed to tell out those stiff few words, he was in pain, the pain caused by the wound to his leg that was inflicted by her brother and his men.
"Because of this" she held up the paperweight in view of Stark he looked at it like he was trying to piece the puzzle together. "A paper weight Lady?" "Family!" She bluttered out with confident as she fiddled with it like a play thing, inspecting the curved details. "My family is everything to me, as yours is to you, they raised me, gave me a name though granted its not the most charming of names but still family nonetheless" Selene explained whilst finally placing the statue in its rightful spot. "Then why kill an innocent for the sake of protecting your siblings sins? It doesn't make sense" Ned argued the situation further. "You never let up do you Lord Stark, its because i love my brother and sister they raised me, looked after me, and gave me a sense of honour and duty to my house. I saw what Robert was putting his wife through and it seemed a fate worse then death...But i was too young to do anything about it, our father was blind to it and Tyrion well...Tyrion has his own problems" he scoffed, she did love her dwarf brother but could never fully understand him at times. "It was our brother Jaime that was her sslvation, her only crack of sunlight in that dungeon of a union other than her children thats why ".
"But its not..." Ned was about to finish when Selene once again beat him to the point.
"What? Right? Yes sure it seems... rather unorthodox now that the Targaeryens are gone and all. But you cannot betray love and kindness no matter how it comes about and who delivers it to you" a silence poured in for a split second as she poured her heart out once more.
Selene looked about her surroundings and said "when i was a child my father didn't take much interest in me not even after Roberts rebellion, and all that came with it...Being raised at Casterly rock was not all bad granted i had the finest of everything given my status in life. When Cersei married and moved to the capital along with Jaime in the Kingsguard i felt alone but in the years before that they were like parents to me, they love me and i knew of their love for eachother. And...and i would do what i did again for the ones i love" and with that a tear escsped cascading down her pale skin she looked at Ned but saw nothing but a mans back as he apologised for the intrusion and left as swiftly as he came.
