Masquerade Mingle

[thespaceopera]

[The night has finally come--the Gravity Rush is nearly upon us! What normally serves as a large performance hall has been gutted, emptied of its boring furniture and rigged up into a fantastical mismatch of technology and old culture. No matter where you go tonight, you're encouraged to move around, dance, play games, whatever helps you sleep in late tomorrow morning.

If you aren't one for scurrying around a ballroom all night, there's always plenty of people-watching to do. After all, so many people are wearing extravagant costumes and elaborate masks. How can you even tell who is who? Get lost in a crowd of sequins, chatter with a sun and a moon, or try to beat the guy in the monster-mask at a game of cards. Meet your friends or make some new ones--this masquerade party has begun!]

Yes, he was rather comely, that much was true. He was also terrible. And ... hah! Brave as a lion. More like brave like a milk sop.

[He shook his head a little, before he frowned and thought about that.] Seven Hells, how old is Tommen now? Fourteen - he would have just turned fourteen.

Maybe she's met some cowardly lions. I think she called him fair too. I assumed she meant just, but I guess that could have meant blond? Tricky. Unless you think she's not aware of it. [But that doesn't feel right to Kitty if for no other reason than because Margaery sees how sharp Tyrion is and he respects her in return. It doesn't make sense that she's just miss that she was engaged to a monster.]

That sounds so young. [Older than Tyrion at his first marriage though. Older than Kitty was when she lost her parents and fled. Not terribly much younger than her marriage.]

Oh, I more than believe that. And if she said fair ... she meant his hair. We Lannisters are all golden-haired. [He paused, then sighed softly.] I believe she is aware - but Margaery comes from a powerful family that can protect her from the worst of it. Beyond that, she is smart enough to know how to keep little boys on a leash. She won't need that with Tommen, though.

[Docile as a lamb, Tommen.] We were all that age, when marriages started to be planned - well for others more than some.

It sounds like someone did protect her, or was his death an accident? [She looks thoughtful a moment before letting him answer.] If you're okay to discuss it. I know he was your nephew. [He already called him vile, but...he is family? Then again he's Tyrion's family and that is not his favorite thing.]

At home, I was the exception for getting married so young. In fact, it wouldn't even have been legal back when we had laws and a civilization.
