No One II
The girl walked silently to the moonlight, no one paid attention to the mud-covered girl as the drunks made their way home for the night.
The girl moved like a cat, Hidden away in the shadows. She stalked deeper into the city, it was quiet, like the calm before the storm. She eyed the massive tower and slipped into cover as two guards walked passed her.
"The King, did you see him take all of the Greyjoys at once," one of the men said grasping his sword.
"Aye brother, Can you imagine if he were on their side, we wouldn't have had a chance" the other barked, as they slowly moved passed the girl.
"Those dragons are fucking scary, and he controlled all three of them without the queen by his side" the girl watched as they stopped and gawked at each other.
"I was on the field of battle with Greyworm until he got hurt and the king took him back to my sister on a fucking dragon, I think she's in love," the smaller one said as the other just grunted as they walked off into the darkness.
The girl made a mental note to keep an eye out for this grey worm, he could be the key to the king if he had personally saved him.
The girl crept out of the shadows and walked towards the massive palace. Guards surrounded the entrance and every corner; this will be a challenge she thought as she walked past the entrance keeping to the shadows.
When she made it to the water's edge that meets the back of the palace, she eyed an open passage under the rough seas.
God's this is going to be difficult, she eyed the rough seas and shivered at the thought of jumping in, that's when she caught a figure floating in the water.
The figure was floating with its back towards the moonlight; the king wasn't in as the boy said, was she going to try and break in and hope he would return.
To enter the palace now could be suicide, or to wait, she could find that boy with those sharp blue eyes and take his face, the king had seen him before, and she could quickly make up a lie to get him to come back.
She looked back to the body, and it had vanished, yellow orbs descended beneath the water, she took off again, not waiting to be taken with the dead, she ran back into the city.
"You, girl you shouldn't be out at this time of night " a sharp voice stopped her before she could take off again.
"Sorry Ser, I got lost" she sniffled trying to bring on tears.
"Lost, I think you have me for some fool," the man said as he gulped down his flagon on wine and walked out from the darkness.
"What were you looking for out at sea" the Imp came into her view, grasping her dagger her thoughts betrayed her.
For a brief second her personal of Arya almost leaped out and took his life, she realized her mistake and let go of the dagger.
"Home" she answered quietly hoping that he didn't see her hands move away from the dagger, much as Arya wanted to take the Imp there and then, she had a job to do.
"Home, yes I miss it too, where are you from" he tried to smile at her, his features distorted as he approaches up next to her.
She watched him take another sip of his wine as the seas behind them thrashed and battered the rocks.
"The twins," she said a little too quickly, The Imp humph before taking another sip of his wine. "Your a long way from home, come tell me why your out at this time of night" he looked out towards the sea.
"Our home here got attacked during the battle, and my father told me to run away " she lied smoothly watching the Imps face turn sour.
"God's, and you're all alone now huh " she nodded as the tears cleaned away her dirty face.
"Well come, I have a rather large chamber I can share with you if you want" the Imp played the concerned parent rather well she thought to herself.
"I would. ..like that " she tried to smile when his hand reached her face and brushed away the tears " God's you remind me of my niece, come let's get you washed up and off to nice bed " he said taking her hand in his.
"What's your name, young one, " he asked her as they made their way towards the palace.
" Jayne and yours Lord... " she asked innocently, "I'm Tyrion Lannister. But I'm sure you knew that since your a high born lady " he smiled gesturing her upon to the steps of the palace.
As they came to the top, they were greeted by a dozen or so guards.
The Imp coughed loudly so they could make a path to let them enter.
The palace was every bit grand as the outside; The Imp still had a hold of her hand as they ascended the stairs.
" Not much further now he said when they came to the top and proceeded down a long corridor.
As they passed a few doors, someone called out to them.
"Lord Lannister we need your assistance " one of the guards ran up towards them. " Ser Barristanrequires you in the throne room." He said as Tyrion nodded before leading her into his chambers.
"Here we are, the tub is in that room, and if you need any assistance call out to one of the maids, say you're with Tyrion Lannister, I must see what trouble Selmy has gotten in too," he laughed making her smile
Tyrion looked around the room before making his way towards the door, Jayne hesitated before grasping his hand.
"Thank you, Lord Tyrion." she gave him a small hug and then blushed when he stammered and nodded leaving the room.
