of course i keep with the faith. do you... not hold one of your own?
⟪ now she is bound to sit here wondering if tara grooms herself like most cats are wont to do, but that is a question far too inappropriate to be asked. ⟫
he is just the sweetest, you will have to meet him soon. tybolt was a historical kind of the rock – that is what the lannister kings were called. i considered joffrey, too, but i think i am saving it. you should have a dog of your own, though. what manner of a dog? a lap dog? a hunting one? is shakespeare another singer of raunchy songs?
what are capes? is it like the white cloaks – like an order of knights? who lies with whom is a popular subject everywhere, it seems. the matter of death is popular these days, now that the war is done. you keep using 'gay' in a way that i suspect does not mean 'jolly'.
they aren't, it is true. i used to think prince rhaegar was so honourable, but it did him no good. the only truly honourable man is my brother. ⟪ and seven kingdoms disagree, but you do you, cers.
[ tara thinks of the resplendent churches of her childhood; of the beautiful stained glass murals and the brightly colored visages of the saints. she thinks of the priests dressed in their finery and their gentle manner with even the most destitute streetchildren.
she thinks of how that god was supposed to protect her, and instead had done nothing at all. ]
no. no religion for me.
i will. never met a baby lion before. not a real one, anyway. but yeah. there's a puppy we got for christmas. i'll keep him if joe doesn't want him. i think i'm naming him rocky. hold on.
[ it's tara's turn to send a grainy photo. just one, though. no need to go overboard. ]
and - yeah. shakespeare is basically a singer of raunchy songs.
where i'm from, there are people who fight who are considered villains. those who oppose them are considered heroes. all wear costumes to hide their identity. it's pretty stupid, all things considered. 'capes' is kind of a slang term for the heroes, i guess. because they wear capes.
gay means dudes that want to fuck dudes or chicks that want to fuck chicks. so like. same-sex canoodling? banging? etc like those two dudes you live with. hella gay
[ bi people exist, tara. please. ]
my brother is honorable, i guess. my other one was, too. it really doesn't do you any good to be honorable. the world will never reward that.
[ tara thinks of gregor, assassinated on his throne. she thinks of the boys of the titans - steadfast and honorable, sure, but that hadn't stopped her from betraying them in the end. it hadn't stopped a whole host of terrible things from happening to them. ]
i learned to fight because i had to and because i wanted to. but yeah, knowing the best way to kick a dude in the dick has its perks for dealing with the super creepy types.

that... is a first. it isn't usual to meet someone who does not hold with either faith. any.
⟪ even her lord father still considers the gods very much real – just careless and not worthy of his servitude. ⟫
oh, he looks so sweet. i daresay he will be quite big once he comes into his growth. i was often around dogs back home, my brother is extremely fond of them, i hope you can make this one yours. do you call him rocky for your fondness of the earth?
like superheroes? someone mentioned them. that must be every bit as dramatic as the gossip about lords and knights.
i suppose they are. i never did ask either of them, it is considered... private matter back home, so long as these men do their respective duties in their marital respective beds. they must be happier here. we have the same sort of gossip, then.
⟪ the thought of women lying with women hasn't much occurred to her, in spite of how many nights she had spent sharing her bed with female companions. the only one she wants is her brother, the only one she's ever wanted is her brother. rhaegar has been a thought, but her marital reality was another one entirely. if she had not learned of painless, mutual pleasure before, she suspects the thought would have not once occurred to her as an option after. ⟫
my lord father says the same thing. the honourable always die, the war proved that ten times over. i am sorry for your loss.
⟪ of that brother, but she can't write that, can't think about it. ⟫
he will be big i think. i am calling him rocky because of that. i think its cute for him, too. he knows its his name already, so it's sticking
and yeah. capes are superheroes. who told u about it?
its kind of private but people like to gossip about it, anyway. but gay ppl are pretty normal where im from. they can get married and stuff, depending on where in the world u are.
[ girls. tara hasn't really thought of fucking women, either, except for the normal amount that one thinks about those things. sure, she's thought a lot about girls like rose and raven - mostly how angry they made her. and in raven's case, specifically how much she'd wanted her approval. it was all a part of the spying thing, obviously - she'd needed raven's trust in order to betray the titans. obviously. it had nothing to do with the slit up raven's skirt. ]
it's fine. not much of a loss. i didnt get along very well with gregor. but he was honorable.
i'll do my best to help out. im not really a teacher, though. im pretty used to fighting solo.
your world is getting stranger to me by the minute.
i could embroider it on his collar for him. does he know to play fetch yet?
dandy mott. he mentioned he heard tales of them and their special, magical abilities.
married? gods, the faith would take sharper offence than it did with the targaryens. besides, if a marriage cannot create legacy, then why would any one go through with it at all?
⟪ sure, cersei has noticed girls – it was important to compare herself to others, to know that she came out more beautiful, more desirable, more worthy than the rest. granted, there were moments, but those hardly mattered. for instance, it is entirely tara's fault that she had worn trousers so short cersei had been practically forced to notice her distressingly shapely legs. ⟫
i could not bear to lose my twin. the other one, ah, well, he is a murderous little beast.
well, you will be less solo these days, i would wager. not that i would be much help yet, my skills lie in other areas.
dont think he knows fetch yet. ill have to teach him
i met dandy briefly. i think supers aren't real where he's from. theyre very real where im from.
anyway yeah. married. ig people just want to. i dont know, im probably never getting married. not rly my thing. some gay couples adopt and shit. idk.
[ that sounds pretty gay, cersei. not that tara would know anything about that.
she almost volunteers the fact that gregor and brion were twins. but honestly, she's already spoken way too much about them. no use risking weird questions about why, exactly, she and gregor had never gotten along. ]
twins, huh? whats that like
it's important to have allies here anyway and i'm sure you won't be too useless once you learn how to fight
they are such clever animals, and so loyal. we had once as children who could walk on his hindpaws.
there is magic in my world, but it is rare. not comparable to superpowers, i don't think.
it is so odd to make it a question of want. i always knew i would be wed to someone who holds power. what will happen to you if you stay unwed?
⟪ what's that like? well, it is nearing 4 in the morning and she has only her lion for company, so perhaps she is too honest: ⟫
like we share one soul between us. i would say we are inseparable, but the world likes to make a cruel jape of that. he'll find me here, in time. i know it.
allies, i like that. who knows, perhaps i'll grow poisonous fangs.
i might recall how my brother did his teaching. with enough pieces of meat, you can teach him almost anything.
are people not making this sort of thing public? on second thought, that would hardly be safe. my first thought, from a royal perspective, would be to have each one of you knighted in the name of the realm – and for its defence.
well, i heard the smallfolk marry whoever they want. but what use is that?
as soon as i grow anything fun, i shall let you know.
