Scene 1- Jaime looks for Brienne after she leaves the drinking game at the feast
"You didn't drink. In the game. This is dornish." Jaime says as he walks uninvited through her open door carrying 2 cups and a jug of wine. He quickly lays the wine and cups on the table and pours. He offers her a cup. Brienne remains still.
"It's no longer true, you are not a.." Jamie starts to say. Brienne snatches the cup from him and takes a sip. Jaime momentarily speechless walks around the room,
"I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't true anymore. Tormund Giantsbane cannot make his interest more clear. He was very sad when you left." He says as he settles himself on the edge of her bed.
"I don't know him." She states guardedly.
He smiles. "That's my girl."
"I am not your girl." She corrects.
He looks at her, his brow furrowed." I suppose not. You are my Oathkeeper." he replies.
All the hardness in her face melts as she moves to sit on his left, beside him on the bed. Suddenly, all the drama and trauma of the last few days and years slip away and they are only Brienne and Jaime, naked in a Harrenhal bath.
He turns to look at her, into the oceans that are her eyes. "He's not good enough for you."
"Why?" Brienne whispers.
"Because... because, you are noble and kind. A little naive⦠but, oh so incredibly quick thinking and smart. There is no one I know as strong and as gentle as you." He says as he reaches out to caress her cheek.
"Not to mention, you have the most astonishingly blue eyes I have ever see. A man could drown in them. I don't know anyone good enough for you." Jaime finishes.
"Not even you." Brienne half states and half asks.
"Especially not me." Jaime says with a hard laugh and goes on. "You deserve someone whole. Someone who loves you first."
"And you can't." Brienne says as she breaks their gaze." I know."
Jaime looks down at their feet, noticing how equal they are. "I don't know how it happened" He says. "I didn't think I was capable of loving anyone, whose name didn't end with Lannister, And, yet, it happened, I fell. My heart built a whole new wing when we met and called it Brienne. It has with blue flowers in its gardens and shining swords in the halls. I was afraid when you left the table during the game without drinking, afraid you moved on without me. Silly really. I have nothing to offer you."
"We don't get to choose who we love." Brienne recalls. "If I have wing, your sister must have a fortress, fortified over years of love. What will you do tomorrow?" Brienne asks.
"I can't join them and go against Cersei. I don't know if I can go back to King's Landing. They way we left off. It wasn't good. Yet, there is the baby that is supposed to be mine that I want to go back to." Jaime pauses and continues incredulously, " I am not sure anymore if it's mine anymore. If she could scheme with Euron Greyjoy behind my back, who knows what else she did with him behind closed doors. She didn't understand why I had to come here to fight the dead. She ordered the Mountain to kill me. Cersei has never been good at holding her temper. Still, it broke my heart." Jaime says.
"Stay here. Sansa wants the North to remain a neutral as possible and not take sides in this war of Queens. If I speak to her, she will let you stay. You don't have to choose. "Brienne offers.
"Are you asking me to stay with you, Ser Brienne?" Jaime inquiries with half a smile.
"Yes." Brienne answers.
"I choose you." Jamie says as he holds her hands and presses a kiss on her knuckles.
"I have been so afraid of the way you make me feel. I didn't know I was going to love you too." Brienne says.
"Don't be afraid my brave Brienne." Jaime says as he pulls her in. He uses his stump to lift her chin so their faces almost touch, "I cannot promise anything, You know me. Bear with me and maybe a wing will turn into a castle with walls to the sky. We will figure us out together."
