ASOIAF ~ Stark!GnPOV ~ Weddings and Wine※

╔══ ≪ °❈° ≫ ══╗

There has yet to be a wedding feast Jaime attended which he enjoyed.

From the shades, Jaime watched as the new king Robert danced with Cersei. Jaime's Cersei, his twin, his second half, his love. That's what he told himself, at least. The bitter jealousy in his breast disagreed.

He sat lazily at the feast table, watching as Robert handed Cersei off to their father Tywin for a dance, the Eddard Stark, with his iron grey eyes, still boring into Jaime, like he did naught but two years ago. Jaime could only curse his wounded pride as he reached for another goblet of wine.

It was not often that Jaime Lannister drank himself into a stupor. He didn't even realize how much he drank, before he felt a slender hand touch his shoulders, ripping him from his daze.

"Care for a walk, Ser? To clear your mind."

It took him a moment to realize who spoke; faces were starting to blur in a haze of wine and mead, and yet, he could discern those Stark eyes anywhere. It had been three weeks since you came south with your brother for the young King's wedding. It was a rare thing, he thought, to find someone who'd sooner call him Ser than Kingslayer. Jaime could still hardly understand how you and lord Eddard came from the same womb.

"But be not surprised if I retch on you, Stark." The knight grumbled as he stumbled to his feet before promptly falling silent, the haze of wine hitting him suddenly like a wave. Still, he didn't refuse, leaning on you ever so slightly as you lead him from the noisy hall.
