The manacles on his wrists chafed his skin, leaving it raw and sensitive to touch the more often he tried to squeeze his hands out of them, but never once did he voice a complaint. For doing so would have led the wench to suspect what he was making an attempt to do, and he couldn't have that to deal with as well.Â
Instead of complaints, Jaime would voice something else, in an attempt to annoy the wench, or get some sort of reaction from her that would either give him a chance to take her sword and use it against her, or make her forget her vows for a moment, and try to kill him. If she came at him, he'd be prepared, and she'd find he wouldn't go down easily. He'd be damned if he'd allow a woman to defeat him. He was Jaime Lannister, and the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. There were few who could stand a chance of defeating him. And she is not one of them.
"Come now, wench," he chuckled as he followed her, Brienne having decided it would be a good idea to travel under the cover of night, to avoid being seen, and to avoid capture. "Truly, you aren't getting any younger. I could help you feel like a woman, at least once," he offered, though in truth he was interested in no such thing, the thought alone disgusting him. It is only Cersei who interests me, and she will be the only who I will ever lay with. He missed his sister. The touch of her hair, and the feel of his skin against hers. I will be with you soon, sister.
"Is that something you would be interested in? A little kiss and a feel?" he continued, Â taking amusement from the way the wench's shoulders stiffened as he continued to speak. And so he continued to do so, until she yanked the rope attached to his chains, and hissed at him to shut up. "Horses," she whispered, and Jaime froze.
More than a couple of horsemen, Jaime cursed to himself as the wench shoved him to the ground, before she pressed herself down next to him, taking cover as they watched in silence. An entire host of men was setting up camp, and Jaime could make out the banners of Stannis Baratheon, and the sigil he'd created for himself.Â
Damn it all. We will have to change our route, he thought, keeping silent for once, as he exchanged a glace with Brienne, who simply shook her head. For now, they would not move. Not until most of the host was sleeping, and they could move.
