"DID YOU HAVE TO LAY IT ON SO STRONG?," Ashara says with a laugh, before grinning widely, "Will you be joining us for the rest of the tournament?"
Allara and Larrisa smile and even Jessamyn grins at the mocking. Selena rolls her eyes as she falls onto her bed, "I had to be convincing."
"I believe she was very convinced," Allara says, "She couldn't stop smiling."
Selena smiles at that. She knew Daenerys and the one thing she wanted most in this world was approval and acceptance, so she gave it to her. The willingness to eventually become friends, the ability to confide in her if need be. They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer, that's exactly what Selena intended to do.
"With an older brother like Rhaegar, all she wants is validation. If I offer it to her little by little, soon she'll be spilling her guts to me."
"What happens if she finds out you're using her?" Larrisa asks, and Selena smiles, fully confident in her abilities.
"She'll never find out. You'll find I can be very convincing when need be," she tells them, "Till I return to Storm's End, Daenerys Targaryen is my best friend."
Selena stands from her bed and sits in front of her vanity mirror, as she begins taking her hair loose, allowing it to fall down in black waves, "I'll see you four tomorrow at the tournament."
Through the reflection in the mirror, Selena watches as each of the ladies nod before leaving the room. Jessamyn, however, lingers. Selena turns in her chair meeting Jessamyn's shy gaze.
"I think Viserys has taken an interest in me," Jessamyn tells her, "He asked for my favor before today's jousting match."
Selena nods at the confession before turning back to the mirror, "Thank you for informing me."
She begins brushing her hair, but Jessamyn still remains in her room, an expression of surprise on her face, "Is that all?"
Selena meets her eyes through the mirror and chuckles softly, "I know I told you all to stay away from Viserys, but that was to protect you from possibly being scorned at court."
"Shall I spend more time with him then?" Jessamyn asks her and Selena thinks about it. Viserys wasn't as much a concern to her as Jon or Daenerys might be. Perhaps it was a good idea to keep him distracted, that way she wouldn't have to worry about him.
She turns to look at Jessamyn, "Do whatever you're comfortable with. If you do decide to spend more time in his company, then know this, Viserys loves a chase. He always wants what he can't have. However, you must remember to protect yourself."
"I will," Jessamyn tells her a small smile on her lips. She gives Selena a slight curtsy before leaving the room, quietly closing the door behind her. Selena stares at the spot Jessamyn had formerly stood in. Had she curtsied?
