CLOSED STARTER ✦ maesella targaryen ( @sapphircd ) location: christmas market village

for a moment there he sensed regret, from a distant lifetime that quivered within him. his heart tightened at every missed opportunity, every unspoken word, and every smile diluted to indifference for duty. that word again, haunting him at every corner of the world he was stationed in. he plucked courage from somewhere within him to make changes, got to somewhere too. "i'm really glad you came, maesella . " he's found himself in the most perilous of places, came face to face with death itself, and yet only before her does his heart race like never before. " it's good to see you again. "

"  please ,  you  must  not  tell  a  soul  ,  "  @sapphircd  says  .

"  i  will  not  ,  i  assure  you  .  "  short  strands  of  midnight  shake  in  time  with  their  head  ,  insistent  in  the  softest  manner  .  "  not  everything  need  be  aired  out  for  all  of  the  court  to  see  .  "  after  all  ,  if  bronte  refuses  to  crumble  to  pieces  before  her  peers  ,  why  should  a  small  indiscretion  be  put  on  display  for  all  to  bear  witness  ?

@sapphircd said "the  truth  always  comes  out,  one  way  or  another."

"I  suppose  that  is  the  thing  about  a  secret,  isn't  it?  The  more  people  who  know,  the  harder  it  is  to  keep  quiet.  And  in  such  close  quarters,  it  is  hard  to  think  that  anything  said  is  private."  At  a  certain  point,  it  was  hard  to  believe  even  thoughts  were  private,  for  he  would  not  put  it  past  the  Queen  to  know  what  exists  in  the  very  hearts  of  her  subjects.  "What  is  that  saying,  again...  Oh,  right.  Two  can  keep  a  secret,  if  one  of  them  is  dead.  I  don't  know  if  I'd  go  quite  so  far,  but...  Perhaps  we  should  keep  these  little  meetings  between  ourselves,  for  now."
