asgardeventide | first ♕ video

[Her head is cast down when the video first starts, seemingly calm. Yet, it is when her head tilts upwards, showing those hard green eyes, that the fury brimming beneath the surface may be witnessed. She is angry, yet she does not scream or cry or throw a tantrum. A Lannister does not act in such a manner.

Judging by her attire, she is a woman of some wealth and standing. (Less here, perhaps some might say, but Cersei would not be one of those.) She is dressed in those fine garments that she has been wearing at her son’s wedding, but they do nothing to make her look more welcoming now.

She is annoyed. She is offended. She is angry.]

Chosen by the Gods.

[Her first words, and they hold that snide and sarcastic tone to them.]

Do I look some fool, to believe such rubbish? I think not, so listen here. I know not what you aim to achieve by kidnapping my person, as I do not believe that drivel of a letter, but I shall tell you this. A Lannister always pays their debts, and if you think you shall profit from my ransom, you shall be sadly mistaken. If you seek to hide behind your letter, to conceal your true person, I fear that will help you little in the end.

[Those beautiful features darken. She does not like loosing power and not being in control.]

Speak now. Name your true terms. And let it be known, if you have harmed my son- or any of my children in any way- I shall show you how capable these hands are.

I don't know. They're pretty upfront about what exactly that want you to do. You don't have to agree with it, though, because I certainly don't.

And do you simply accept all that is spoken to you, whether or not you agree with it?

I've been around long enough to see the things that happen. Experience matters.

You could be some common cur, lost in his cups, for all I know.

And who the hell uses that kind of language anymore but old fashioned people?

[Old fashioned people? Her fashion is quite on style, in King's Landing.]

You may address me as queen regent, Cersei of House Lannister.

Okay. I'm...Shiki of House Tohno.

House Tohno?

That's what I said! Is there a problem with that?

And tell me. What is House Tohno known for?

Being guardians of Misaki City. And owning a few big companies overseas.

Merchants, then.

If that's the term you want to use...I guess?

Why. What is it you profess to call yourselves?

Stewards maybe...? My sister is the one in charge.

... your sister?

I ended up injured so she had to take on the role of being head of the family. It makes sense when you think about it.

I see. Then it was out of necessity alone.

[And likely, she would be replaced once he was healed.]

Eeeh, not really. She's a lot better at it than I would ever be so it's better than she's in that position. She's pretty amazing when you think about it.

Then she will remain, even after you are healed?

Well, yeah. Why wouldn't she?

For obvious reasons.

[Does she have to spell it out.]

She is a year younger than me but that really doesn't matter.

How so?

[It matters greatly.]

That's just how it works? She took the responsibility so it's hers.

Besides, it'd be pretty inefficient to spend all that time training her for the position then just slotting me into it when I was feeling better.
