but what’s the stark motto when it is winter
#but it’s just so perfect for their relationship #brienne grabs his fork with a sort of annoyance like #she doesn’t wholly want to admit that she’s grown fond of him #and jaime comes in real quiet and subtle #which i think is often his way of caring for people #which is probably something he learned a long time ago #that when he needed to care for tyrion and cersei he couldn’t be loud and he always needed to be gentle #because when he dealt with his family he was always walking a tightrope #jaime’s whole identity up to this point has been as the rock of his siblings who hate each other #he’s stability and comfort to people who are sloppy and angry and scared and ready to pounce at any time #so taking care of brienne comes naturally to him in that way

“Some are given a chance to climb but they refuse: they cling to the Realm, or the Gods, or love. Illusions.”
