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. :)

[ bad movie, jaime, because the second he has that little fish in his hands and she can peer down at it, she begins to grow attached. ]

Oh... Can we keep it?
princetonprince: (rain)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
He'd just die by the time you got him home, sweetie. [His voice is not unsympathetic as he gently releases it into the pool again.] They don't handle stress well.
mothersbeauty: (cloying.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ she reaches for his hand, as if to stay the release of the little fish, but just brushes her fingers against his arm in vain and tearfully pouts. ]

But I want to keep him!
princetonprince: (squint)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
You'd just end up hurting him. And I don't think you brought anything to carry him in, did you? [Crap, if he makes her cry Cersei's gonna slap him.]
mothersbeauty: (harmonious.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's not crying yet. Yet. But sniffling, of yes, quite a lot. ]

N -...no.
princetonprince: (look back; no way)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Crap. Distraction works on Mya, right?] Hey, look over here. [He goes to a different pool.] I think I see a hermit crab.
mothersbeauty: (mellifluous.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Works a little. Just a bit. She at least wipes her face with her hand. ]

Could I keep that?

[ She just has a lot of feelings, okay? She got six kittens out of Robert once. ]
princetonprince: (squint)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
We can definitely ask your mom. [See, if Jaime brings her to Cersei and Cersei makes her cry he's totally off the hook. And then he can even play good daddy uncle and hug her.]
mothersbeauty: (candied.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ That soothes her. While her mother is not nearly as much of a pushover as her father (fake father, that is) but she might be reasonable enough. Maybe if not from the beach, they could get one from a pet store. Or she could smuggle one home in her towel. ]

Okay...

[ She sniffled and after watching the little creature crawl, she reaches down to pick it up. ]
princetonprince: (squint)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Jaime lets her play, looking into other pools to find anything else interesting.] Has Joffrey been nice lately? [Jaime is setting the smacking-Joffrey quota for the next month. Answer wisely, Myrcella.]
mothersbeauty: (glacé.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, she's excellent at 'answering wisely' - has been doing it for years - and she even stops to peer up at him with polite interest in the question before answering. Her face is kept straight and she blinks at him with similar big green eyes. ]

Of course. He helped me with my homework on Monday.
princetonprince: (intense)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Did you do good on it? [Good to know she can fake it, that's a valuable skill for dealing with grampa, but he wants the real answer too.]
mothersbeauty: (honeyed.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
I got a good grade on it, yes. [ An okay grade. She passed it. And now she looks at her uncle like he's silly for suspecting anything other than that answer. ]

Joffrey's older than me. He's taken all this stuff before, he knows things I don't.
princetonprince: (you're kindof an idiot)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Snort.] Having taken the class doesn't mean he knows anything, sweetheart.
mothersbeauty: (saccharine.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
He knows plenty, Uncle Jaime. It's rude to imply otherwise.
princetonprince: (:|)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
We're family, we're allowed to be honest about each other. I'm sure he'd say some rude things about me.
mothersbeauty: (soft.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't like you all the time. He doesn't like anyone all the time, and he doesn't have to. That's perfectly honest, Uncle Jaime. And it's not nice for you to talk about my brother behind his back.
princetonprince: (james dean)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
So he doesn't like you and Tommen all the time?
mothersbeauty: (ambrosial.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't like to play with us. That's all.

[ Shrug. She is now letting the little crab crawl around in her palm. It tickles and no matter how much she wants to keep it, she doesn't know if she likes the feeling. ]

He's older.
princetonprince: (squint)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
What would happen if you asked him?
mothersbeauty: (aromatic.)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
He tells us to leave him alone.

[ Loudly. And with swears. Sometimes pinches and shoving and pillows or books thrown. ]

So we do.
princetonprince: (intense)

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you know, I'm older than Uncle Tyrion and I was still nice to him when I was Joff's age. [Mostly. Not as much of a shithead, at least.]
mothersbeauty: (Default)

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
He's not mean unless he's upset. And everyone is allowed to get mean when they're upset.

[ Her mother does it. Her father does it. Everyone does it. It's normal, right? ]
princetonprince: (intense)

aaaaand this thread gets all srs

[personal profile] princetonprince 2012-04-20 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Christ, you're worse than his own...kids...his acknowledged kids.]

Sweetheart, if someone's mean to you ever, that's not okay. Even if they're upset, they shouldn't take it out on you.
mothersbeauty: (glacé.)

there are so many feelings...!!!

[personal profile] mothersbeauty 2012-04-20 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay. They don't hurt my feelings or anything.
