Jaime and Bäahal : Be yourself


Jaime and Bäahal : Be yourself


The princess unbraided her hair, meticulously removed the knots while she stared at her reflection on the mirror. Tomorrow would be the day she would slip into her armor, carry her valerian steel sword and be ready to fight for her queen. Tomorrow would be the day Cersei would die. Her face twitched, her lips trembled and she furrowed her brows as she didn't want to think of what it implied. Tomorrow, Lord Jaime would die too. If not physically, his soul would join Cersei's when she would be killed. After countless conversations, she had with Lord Tyrion, Missandei and even Jon, shedding a tear today would be indecent and was not welcomed. She bid him farewell, they even kissed on that last day spent together. It was time to put him away, push the memory down into her heart, bury her emotions and ignore how it made her feel. It was time to truly say goodbye and focus on what was important: Her sister and the throne.

It was within their grasp, just a moment away and soon the trumpets of victory would be blown and Daenerys would sit on the throne. Mission accomplished, now the real hard work would begin. Missandei already decided for herself, what she wanted to do with her life. A life away from King's Landing, a life of her own spent with the person she chose to live with: Torgo Nuhdo. Jon already decided how he intended to lead his life, to serve his beloved queen the best he could, but where he was the most comfortable...Lord Tyrion would serve her well...what about Bäahal? What did she want? She let her hand touch her cheek, stroke the soft skin of hers before it went down to her lips. She could still taste Lord Jaime's lips against hers, the gratitude he had for the way she saw him, the emotions she made him feel, the fact she treated him like another human being. She could still taste how it made /her/ feel. The tingle in her loins, the tears in her eyes.

Ah, tears... here they came again. Her heart was broken, how could it not  when Lord Jaime was going to die? She was dreading encountering him on the battlefield, but she already knew that it was the aftermath she wouldn't stomach. If the battle didn't kill him, then seeing Cersei's execution would surely. Could she watch it? Could she endure seeing him lose what made him /him/? Could she stay? She knew the answer to her questions, she couldn't and wouldn't want to stay. She would leave, run away, try and find more about herself. Answer his question after research of her own. He had always told her to be herself and that was what she would do, to honor his memory and her promise to him. She would find out who Bäahal truly is.
