MEET AGAIN ! JAIME LANNISTER (on hold)

ii.

"i miss her."
alysanne said softly, staring into the crackling flame.
she blinked rapidly.
"i miss her."
she repeated, her voice cracking, tears softly rolling down her cheeks.
jaime was never good with comfort.
he could remember one time he successfully consoled cersei, when the baratheon babe died.

it was easier to comfort tyrion, he noted.

jaime moved closer to alysanne, who was on the brink of sobbing.
he thumbed away forming tears, worry prickling his gaze.
he shushed the young princess,
and began to murmur stories of king's landing, before dragons died.
alysanne places her head comfortably on his chest, somehow staying down.
he was still in his armor.
the action greatly surprised him, but it made him confident she had grown more relaxed, accustomed, to him; as a sworn sword, as a friend.
alysanne sobbed quietly until she ceased, breathing softly.
she's asleep.
jaime repeated to himself, nervous.
what do i do? stay here?

no.
he decided.
jaime scooped the princess up, in his arms, slightly shocked by how light she was.

he laid her into her bed and carefully covered her with furs, watching as she pulled them closer for comfort.

he turned to face the door.
i guard the door,
he reminded himself, quietly opening the heavy door and slinking into the shadows,

lurking in the corridor until the princess woke.
