regular GOT: Balance

JB regular: Balance

 

// I miss these two.

 

Balance wasn’t an easy thing to find but the princess knew she had to find it. She could be worried about Jaime’s life but at the same time trust that the knight would survive his journey. She could be upset about being forbidden to display her affection towards the knight in public, but she could also be relieved that her sister was willing to protect him too. Everyone was ready to jump at his throat at the first opportunity. Everyone was eager to destroy the one who embodied the old days, the old regime, the cruelty of his sister, father and ruling offspring. It would have been easy for Daenerys to kill Jaime or punish him in such a way that someone else could kill him, but she didn’t. she chose otherwise. She asked for time, in her own stubborn way, she still asked for time to digest the news and consider the fact her sister was in love with a former enemy.

 

Balance wasn’t an easy thing to find but the princess knew she had to find it. She was passionate and stubborn and the fire within her was burning intensely. She could have the desire to forsake her oath and stand by Jaime’s side AND decide not to act on those desires for his sake. What good could come from a relationship rushed in or for decisions that couldn’t be unmade in the future? What good could come for her lack of foresight because of Love? Nothing. She would destroy whatever she had for a few minutes of reckless freedom. She had to be patient. She had to bid her time. She had to wait until it was a better time to speak of love, romantic or familial. There was a time for each, and everything and she would be patient for the greater good. Bäahal knew that it only was a matter of time, and it only was the beginning.

 

 

They would not stop fighting, from people who would disapprove of the union because of Jaime’s rank, Jaime’s past, Jaime’s family or even just because they wanted to marry her to people who dislike her and don’t want to see any Targaryen near the throne. It was a life Jaime had tried to spare her from. He wanted her to experience the joys of being a young woman, a beautiful princess who would marry a beautiful prince and have a simple and happy life. He wished Bäahal wouldn’t have chosen him, yet he couldn’t deny the joy it brought him to actually have someone who loved him back. Jaime didn’t want to be selfish for once and the princess wanted to think of her own needs for the first time…Yet they had to find a balance between those wishes.
