You speak as her brother and you must not apologize, I take no offense. I did all that I could but - the king took little notice of my words. He never raised a hand to me but he did not listen, either. My grandmother and I wishes so direly to do more but Joffrey -

[ she lowers her eyes, smiles a little ]

I need to tell you much of Joffrey.

[ at his next words she smiles a little ]

She may be safer here, yes but she is happy not because this is not king's landing but because she has you. I know I would be happy whenever Loras was. Here - I am no longer to marry Joffrey but at the same time, I do so direly miss my brother.

[ a turn and ]

The north seems to be cold but it also breeds honest men. Would that I could visit.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

He is a bloody monster, is he not? [Robb cannot help to pull an angry face.] A man who needs to strike a woman to make himself feel better is no man a all. [He should not speak that foul about lady Tyrell’s husband-to-be, dead husband or something in between but the hate towards Joffrey Baratheon is real.]

[When the music speeds up Robb starts to hop a little, still looking as if he has a stick up his arse the size of a man’s fist.]

It pleases me to hear that, my lady. [All he can think of is how he let her down and that he does not entirely know how to make it up to her. It also shows a little on his face as he speaks. Regret, and a lot of it.] I hope your beloved brother will find his way to you. Or you to him.

[Despite everything he cannot help but laugh at her words.]

The North knows enough dishonest men, my lady. My lord father had to swing his great sword many times to see the king’s justice done. King Robert, that is. Just like the South knows honorable men as well. [Not much and they definitely did not belong to house Lannister, but, maybe there were some...] Have you never been there? Up North?

[partialities]

[ she has to smile a little. you know, for a grumpy king, robb stark is oddly endearing. ]

He is what he is made to be - there is greater cunning in the Queen Reagent, I trust.

[ how fiercely does margaery tyrell hate cersei lannister, now there is a question ]

No, your Grace, most of my days I spent in Highgarden. When I wedded Renly we have seen the cities of the Reach but I fear I never had the honor of visiting the North. I would so dearly wish it, I have never seen snow, can you believe it?

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb can be a very grumpy king and this time he tries not to be too grumpy.]

Cersei Lannister? [It does not surprise him. He has heard rumors of incest and he has received Stannis’ raven.] You have proof of that, my lady? [Because all there is are rumors.] You mislike her?

[Robb has not been fond of her either. But then again, she is a Lannister. And he despises them by default.]

I have never seen seas of blooming flowers. And I have never been able to go outside without woolen undershirts. Snow really isn’t that special. It is mostly wet and cold.

[partialities]

I do believe she loathes me. I feel nothing towards her.

[ nothing but suspicion and mistrust. the woman would have had her head on a spike if she could and margaery is very well aware of it. ]

She does not seem to value kindness, not a bit.

[ she smiles, however at his next words. ]

No, it can be soft, I trust? and fun to play with, too. Mayhaps one day we shall land on a planet that will offer fields of flowers for you and mayhaps a few flakes of snow for me.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

My lord father never liked her either. He has never been fond of house Lannister. For what they have done during Robert’s rebellion. Never answering a call and finally taking the city by committing treason. [There is a healthy amount of loathing and disdain on his face when he tells her that.] When fighting a war, kindness has no place, my lady. Unfortunately.

[Finally he laughs.]

When it is frozen you will slip and fall onto your face. It can be treacherous. Flowers and snow. I am sure there are flowers that are able to endure snow.

[partialities]

Snow drops! I read about them in the library. They are white and very pretty and if they called snow drops, it must mean that they can fare well in the snow.

[ her smile is sharper, there is a jest here ]

see, if those flowers can handle themselves, surely a Tyrell lady can do the same without falling.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

But snow does not drip, my lady. [Robb grins as well. He knows nothing about flowers.] How can they ever exist in the snow. Gods, those poor things might freeze to death.

[The music seems to slow down a little and so does his pace.]

I would be the last one in the realm who would doubt the strength of house Tyrell.
