Jaime took one step towards the door. He was ready to walk out on Cersei. He was ready to follow Flora and make sure she made it safely back to the wild where she could take care of herself.

"Don't go after her Jaime." Cersei pled. "She's dangerous. Please, just let her go."

"She's not dangerous." Jaime argued, realizing Cersei was just jealous that a female of any sort had visited his rooms. That's all this was about. "No more dangerous than any man who carries a sword."

"She threatened me. She said she would do far worse if I try to arrest her." Cersei said. "There was time when you would have stopped anyone who dared to threaten me. Do you care so little for me now?"

"Of course she threatened you. You tried to have her arrested for no reason. She was just frightened." Jaime said.

Believe me, I will have her arrested. Next time I'll be sure have the aid of the city watch to capture her. She won't get far."

Disgusted with her, Jaime moved to leave the room once again. Cersei looked as if she wanted to say something to stop him but she didn't. She let him go. The hallway was empty by the time he went out of the room. There was no telling which way Flora had gone or if she remembered the way out of the castle. Even if she did remember the way out, where would she go? Probably not back to the godswood since the Kingsguard had already seen her there. Perhaps she'd go to the space where they'd met on the beach. Jaime headed in that direction taking care that he was not not followed.

He waited on the beach for a long while. He wasn't entirely sure what he was waiting for. He wasn't ready to leave in search of Brightroar with a stranger just yet. And maybe Cersei had frightened Flora off entirely and she wouldn't come back. Still, his curiosity about her kept him from leaving too quickly. He could wait a few hours at most and then he had duties to attend to.

Flora had to bite back her terror at being lost inside the stone box. It had been hours by now and she still didn't know the way out. She had seen a window but it was higher off the ground than she was willing to jump. Finally when she could take it no longer she went back to the window. She'd just have to climb down. It wasn't terribly difficult to scale down the wall of the castle. She pushed off and jumped at about fifteen feet from the ground. Then she ran.

Flora wasn't ready to give up on Ser Jaime just yet. She had to convince him to come with her and get the sword. She knew he eventually would agree to it but she didn't know what it would take to get him there. After she finally oriented herself to find which street she was on, she made her way to the beach where he liked to practice.

Jaime was there as she expected him to be. "You found your way out alright?" he asked her as she approached him.

She shook her head. "I couldn't find the door. I had to climb out a window."

"None of the guards saw you?" he asked, and if she wasn't mistaken it almost sounded as if he had been worried about her.

"None of them saw me. No one expects to see anyone climbing on walls so high. They didn't know to look." Flora said.

"I'm sorry about Cersei. She didn't have a good reason to try to arrest you. It shouldn't have happened." Jaime said.

"Her reasons are clear enough." Flora said. "I know what she is to you and what you are to her. She fears that I will steal away the father of her children."

Jaime looked both angered and shocked. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you know."

"I know many things. I have seen many things in my dreams. Things that you would not want me to see. Things that I did not want to see." Flora told him. She didn't want to tell him all this but he needed to know. "I have seen you with your sister, I have seen the birth of your children, I saw you push the Stark boy from a tower, I have seen you in battle, in Rob Stark's camp. I saw you lose your hand, I saw you defend Brienne of Tarth… I saw you kill the Mad King after he ordered the city burned. And from all I have seen I know that there is far more honor in you than there is dishonor. You will come with me to find Brightroar and you will serve Jon Snow someday, honor demands it, destiny demands it, the only question is when?"

"Now." Jaime said with a sigh. "I'll do it now. Tomorrow anyway. Just give me time to pack and say goodbye to Tommen."

Flora nodded, taking care not to smile because leaving everything behind was a serious matter for him. "You will meet me here?"

"I will meet you here." He agreed. "Where exactly are we going?"

"Valyria." She told him. "Across the narrow sea."
