sand in uncomfortable places: the meme

So you need a vacation. The weather's nice, so why not hit the beach?

So here are the rules:

1. Comment with your character and put their name and canon in the subject line.
2. Do beach stuff with whoever threads with you. Go tanning. Collect seashells. Have a picnic. Swim. Surf. Visit the little resort. Almost drown. Reenact Baywatch. Get stranded at sea in a canoe. Day or night. Do your own thing.
3. There is no need for RNG here, just have fun. :)

About a girl who has to fight for her life. Sansa said I should read it. [Hunger Games, ftw]

Oh.

[ ...What a weird name. Is she really hungry? Poor girl. ]

Does she win?

I think she does. I hope so. I haven't finished it yet. And there are two more books to read. [She glances around] Who are you here with Myrcella?

...Wow. [ Two books is a lot. But she wants to figure out why the girl was so hungry now and, oh - ]

My brother and my uncle. My mother is around her somewhere but she doesn't like to play in the sand.

Which uncle? [She smiles, trying not to sound terse.]

Uncle Jaime. [ She smiles, just excited. ]

He's going to take me over to the tide pools later.

[Ugh. But she is Robert's daughter, so she'll be polite and sweet because the girl is innocent] You must be careful around those. Be sure to wear sandals.

I've got sandals, see?

[ Catelyn you are now treated to a view of Myrcella's tastefully floral shoes. ]

They've got daisies on them.

They're very pretty. [She admires them! Truly! Ayra would rather die than wear those.]

Thank you Miss Catelyn. They match my towel, see?

[ And now she's pointing some...oh, twenty feet away. Something like that. The towel pattern is probably a blob from here, but her word is good. ]

That is very fashionable. [She laughs with a grin. She's adorable.]

I picked them out all by myself. [ Adorable and proud of herself. Lookit this ten year old shopping on her own. ]

[ ...Okay, her mother might have helped. But moving on - ]

Will you read to me?

Do you have something I can read to you? A book maybe? [Because this one is not age appropriate.]

No, I mean your book.

I do not think this book appropriate for me to read to you.

Oh...

[ she wilts a little, and pouts while drawing in the sand with her pinky. ]

What if my mommy says it's okay? Would you then?

Then yes.

[ and she brightens immediately. and jumps up. ]

Okay! I'm going to ask - don't go anywhere, Miss Catelyn!

[ and as an afterthought; ]

Please.

I'm not going anywhere. [Oh, children.]

[ they're sweet. and fast. because she's not gone three minutes before she comes rushing back and flops magnificently on the towel. ]

I couldn't find her, but my daddy says it's okay!

[She's not stupid, sweet girl. Your father has probably had ten drinks too many and is staring at a lifeguard.]

How about I read you something from my magazine.

[ Actually it was one of the other high born young ladies on the beach. And she'd stared back. ]

[ But Myrcella is successfully sidetracked by that. ]

- what sort of magazine? I like fashion ones.

It is a fashion one. [It's Sansa's.]

Oh, okay - let's read it!

[ and now she's getting comfortable; sitting criss cross apple sauce and everything! ]

[Catelyn will grab it from Sansa's bag and flip through it to find something that's kid appropriate. Which turns out to be a fluff piece about a how two teenage girls saved an animal shelter with a lemonade stand.]
