It was Riverrun's old maester, with a message clutched in his lined and wrinkled hand. Vyman's face was as pale as the new-fallen snow. "I know," Jaime said, "there has been a white raven from the Citadel. Winter has come." "No, my lord. The bird was from King's Landing. I took the liberty . . . I did not know . . ." He held the letter out. Jaime read it in the window seat, bathed in the light of that cold white morning. Qyburn's words were terse and to the point, Cersei's fevered and fervent. Come at once, she said. Help me. Save me. I need you now as I have never needed you before. I love you. I love you. I love you. Come at once. Vyman was hovering by the door, waiting, and Jaime sensed that Peck was watching too. "Does my lord wish to answer?" the maester asked, after a long silence.
Shoutout to maester vyman in this scene, who probably spent most of it wondering if he was going to be executed for reading the impassioned missive between the infamous incest twins. he must've read that letter and been like shit shit shit i'm doomed. then he gets to the room and is all apologetic and jaime just sits there taking a long pause for a character moment while poor pale as the new-fallen snow vyman is standing around waiting for the axe to fall
