Brienne paced in the exterior apartment waiting room. She had asked for an audience with Jamie immediately upon her return and was denied. Pacing back and forth she told herself that she would only look upon him before returning to Tarth to do her fathers bidding. There was no life for here. She would marry some runt of a man and bear his children and tolerate the abuse of small minded townsfolk. She would survive but first she had to see him.
Her back was to the door when it finally opened. Straightening she turned and was confronted by the twin, Cersi. The resemblance was unmistakable except her eyes were cruel.
"You are Brienne?" Cersi looked her up and down.
"Yes, your Grace." Brienne forced herself to bow slightly.
"Thank you for bringing my brother back to us, there is a purser waiting for you in the main hall." Cersi turned.
"I came here to see Jaime" Cersi only turned halfway back.
"I am afraid he is not well." with that Cersi turned away and left the room.
Brienne wanted to shout in frustration, the Girl was right, she was a treacherous cunt.
Instead she stormed out of the apartments and down to the main hall. A man was standing there with a small chest, presumably filled with a small fortune. She continued passed him and down to the street level.
A door opened blocking her path. She stopped ready to shove whoever emerged out of her way.
Jamie entered the hall facing away from her. She froze, when he turned she doesn't know what she was expecting but instead of smiling, he frowned.
That was all the motivation Brienne needed, she skirted around him and kept walking. "Brienne" Jaime called out to her.
"Brienne, stop." She stopped without turning around.
"Brienne, where is she?" he approached her.
His face softened before his left hand wrapped around her upper arm, a little too tight.
She didn't know who to trust.
"She ran off a day after we landed in Gulltown. The day before she met a man who said he knew her father as well as her aunt, I suspect he had something to do with her disappearance." Brienne looked down hoping to conceal her lie.
"Why are you here?" Jaime's jaw grew tight
"To make sure you are well, I have seen now I will go." Someone was coming. Jaime pulled her into the room from which he appeared.
"Listen to me, my name will protect me here but I cannot protect you. You cannot be here my nephew is mad and my sister follows at his whim." Brienne heard the desperation in his voice.
"As you wish my Lord." Brienne turned opening the door and retreated.
