"That had better be a jape," The cold words were jarring from the pretty ten year old, and caught the attention of the hall immediately. Silence fell. Tytos opened his mouth, but Tya cut him off. "You've betrothed me - your firstborn child - to the second son of the Lord of the Crossing?"
There was a mocking, incredulous note to her voice.
"Well Tya, Lord Frey asked very courteously - it would have been most insulting to have refused him,"
"He asked courteously?" Tya raised an eyebrow. "Is that all it takes now? Should Genna fear being betrothed to the son of that kennel-master knight, if he asks nicely enough?"

"I'm sorry to hear about your mother," Aerys looked rather surprised at her state, hesitating. "I've never seen you cry," He trailed off at the mutinous look on her face.
"Get out," Her was voice quiet, dangerous.
"I just - "
"Get. Out. Now," A flash of anger crossed his expression.
"You can't tell me to leave! I'm a prince, I'll stay if I want to," She seized his arm in an iron grip, leading him over to the door. "What are you - how dare you - let me go!"

"Why did you have to do this, Tya?" Her father moaned. "Return Lord Walderan to his family at once, with our sincerest apologies! Forgiving his all his debts should be the least we do to make amends,"
The look Tya gave Lord Tytos was fit to reduce him to a pile of ash.
"I was planning on returning Tarbeck to his family in three pieces,"

"All the men who are capable don't want the position. All those who want the position are incapable. You might as well make me Hand and have done with it. I'd do a better job than every fool you've appointed so far,"
For once, Aerys was silent. So silent, for so long, that Tya raised her eyes from the parchment to see him looking at her in a very odd unblinking way.
"I'd rather give the position to you than anyone else,"
Tya blinked.
