When we were little, Jaime and I were so much alike that even our lord father could not tell us apart. Sometimes as a lark we would dress in each other’s clothes and spend a whole day as the other. Yet even so, when Jaime was given his first sword, there was none for me. ‘What do I get?’ I remember asking. We were so much alike, I could never understand why they treated us so differently. Jaime learned to fight with a sword and lance and mace, while I was taught to smile and sing and please. He was heir to Casterly Rock, while I was to be sold to some stranger like a horse, to be ridden whenever my new owner liked, beaten whenever he liked, and cast aside in time for a younger filly. Jaime’s lot was to be glory and power, while mine was birth and moonblood.

“A girl cannot tell a man when exactly he must do a thing.”
perhaps a man should have chosen a girl less prone to shenanigans.

#his face is the best #like he’s just saying to himself #look at what you’ve done Jaqen #you’ve given a little girl the power to murder anyone #oh how could that have possibly gone wrong #i am a grown fucking man being yelled at by this tiny lady person #Maybe I should’ve finished college #but ‘a man has said’ or whatever the fuck #SO I GUESS IT’S MURDER TIME #but here let me huff indignantly first #just so you know you’ve inconvenienced me #look at your life Jaqen #look at your choices
