"Aren't you supposed to be guarding the King?" she mocked, looking him over.
Tyrion began to sense something was off. "My brother is no longer in the Kingsgua-" he tried to break the conversation, but failed.
"No longer a member, yes I seem to recall now." She cut in, taunting.
"You glad I'm here?" Jaime teased.
"Don't flatter yourself."
"What were you doing down here?" he stepped closer, and Ally didn't miss Tyrion looking anxiously to the entrance, wishing he could grab his brother and leave.
