Jul 13, 2012 19:50

Stannis Baratheon was in a stormy mood, brought on by the culmination of at least two weeks in this truly absurd, baffling, and frustrating place. This mood had inspired him to take to pacing, moving back and forth across his bedroom with a brooding determination to practically wear the floor down. And there was grinding, so much grinding, of his ( Read more... )

"Are you well?" He was starting to think this boy was in need of serious medical help.

Stannis paused in his pacing at the sound of a voice, and his teeth stopped grinding for at least a short amount of time. He frowned at Loki as he thought of how best to answer.

"By most definitions of the word," he finally concluded, "I suppose I would be, though I am certainly not pleased. I cannot decide whether or not I should send a raven with the news of how much I despise my current position."

"Is it the heat? For that passes with time!"

And she loved you too, Stannis!

"The angle of the dangle?" Miriam snickered. "Dude, it means how's it going? What's up?"

Would he ever come to comprehend the strange babblings that spewed forth from this spiteful woman's mouth? Stannis shook his head, casting his eyes upward. "The roof is up," he said plainly, "and beyond that the sky, though I don't see what that has to do with anything. I suppose you have run out of things to keep yourself occupied for the time being. Oh, well. The peace and quiet was nice while it lasted."
