Brienne + Starks is always A+ Why is Brienne SO committed to this case (besides the fact that she is Good and Pure)? Can I have some Brienne/Starks backstory please.
“I don’t see how it’s a conflict of interest.”
“Mrs. Stark was your professor in college, Brienne.” Professor Stark, Brienne corrects internally. Professor of literature. She focused on Arthurian mythology.
“So? That’s not going to affect my search for her murderer.”
“Brienne...” Jaime’s face is somber. “Brienne, it was a car accident. There’s no way someone could have orchestrated it. This is exactly what I’m talking about.” Brienne glowers at him. “It’s a closed case, Brienne. Vehicular manslaughter. No witnesses.”
Brienne looks down at her hand, then through the plate glass window out into the bullpen. She sees Edmure Tully there, Professor Stark’s younger brother. He looked so young, his face was pale, and his eyes the same shade of blue. Sitting on his lap was a little girl with a long face and dark hair. Her eyes were grey and red. She’d been crying. Arya. Brienne had met her when she’d been a baby.
“What about Sansa?”
Jaime shifts uncomfortably. “We’ve got a team working on her,” he says.
“I want to be on it,” she says. “That’s not a conflict of interest. She’s actually missing.” It is, but Brienne has to...has to do something.
Lannister looks down at the papers on the desk again, and Brienne watches him closely. And when he pushes the file towards her with his prosthetic, Brienne’s heart leaps in her chest. “Find her,” he says. “That much, at least, you can do.”
