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.

Missing your children, then. There's every chance they haven't been brought here alongside you at all, for whatever it's worth.

Meaning that they are being held elsewhere?

[Misunderstanding what it is that he is saying.]

It was more of an intention to inform you that if they haven't come here, they'll still be as you left them. I'll hope they're not held elsewhere, in that case.

A guess, is it not, in believing that?

[With her children, she wants certainties.]

The best guess we've got. Hard to begrudge people their share of hope in this.

Guesses may be of comfort to some, but I prefer to know.

So I'm noticing, milady. Sorry that I can't be of more help in that.

[What she is truly thinking, is hard to tell. She has been bred and trained, ever since Jaime could hold a sword, to be a lady. To scheme and connive and claw her way up.]

One of these strange little pieces they would have, yes?

They would. I think I've heard tell of a list of names, somewhere, where you might find out who's been brought here and who remained at your home.

[Hm. Her brows furrow.]

Where might this list be found? Or to whom should I speak.

Be but a moment, my lady. I'm certain it's around- somewhere-

[ And some less-than-nobly-dignified fiddling, for lack of a better term. Curse whoever can navigate these bracelets with ease. They're stupid. :|

Ah- aha! ]

If you should happen upon anything headed by the word 'contacts' while you're using one of these bracelets. Anybody brought into the city by the gods should be available.

[Well. That certainly is most peculiar. Yet, today seems to be a day of peculiarities.]

Do you know whom compiles such a list, and the accuracy?

That I don't. Someone who's been here longer might have an answer.

And how long has that been?

Five days, give or take.

Longer than one may wish, but not that long.

Entirely accurate.

Sir Gwaine, by the way. Knight of Camelot.

Cersei, queen regent, of House Lannister.

[A tip of her head.]

[ Ahh. Nobility, indeed. Thought he got that kind of feeling. ]

A pleasure, my lady. Shame you've found yourself in unwanted circumstance.

[The bearing and the clothes should give it away.

Plus that attitude of hers...]

A shame indeed. Most inconvenient, are these gods, for my son was in the midst of being wed.

[ Just the sort of nobility he'd been avoiding most of his life. Have a low whistle. ]

Missing a wedding, too. They really do pick their moments.

Of whom?

Of everyone.

Everyone is being wed?

-- very good question. Wouldn't you know, I forgot to ask them.
