Brienna

Brienna chuckled at his attempt to cheer her up. The guard at the balcony entrance gave Brienna a thumb's up and she smiled and mouthed a simple thank you. It was windy outside and as soon as the drunken lord had left the vicinity the guard gave Brienna a wave and she pulled Jason back inside and down the hallway. Sneaking into her room so they might speak in private she closed the door and she motioned for him to sit on the couch in the guest/living area.

The fire was roaring in the fireplace and her room was very cozy. "As a guard you will be able to protect castle patrons like the guard you saw tonight. His name is Tom." Brienna kicked off her shoes and sat on the couch, tucking her feet under herself. She was still chilled so she hugged herself hoping that he would sit with her.

"I also am thankful to have found you today. I would hate to have heard you existed only after you were killed. I couldn't allow that to happen. I-" She stopped as she looked into his eyes and remembered the first feelings for him that she had had.

Brienna

She returned his smile and her eyes cast downwards slightly at the praise he was heaping on her. "I do assure you, I am not an angel." She noticed the looks they were getting and she blushed slightly. "I'm just glad you didn't lose more than you did."

When the next song came a drunken lord approached them. Brienna recoiled from the man when he reached for her. "M'lady I want the next dance with you." He stumbled and Brienna moved out of his way and grabbed Jason's hand and pulled him out to the balcony as one of the guards stopped the drunken man from following them.

Brienna was a little shaken.

Brienna

Jason had let go of her hand and wrapped his cloak around her as well. His arm around her shoulders made her feel warm and secure and a little electrified. She could not have foretold that a man would fall out of the sky and drop literally into her life and that the day would end like this. The party was winding down. The queen had already retired to her chambers and there were only a few couples left. Some were servants and only a drunken lord or two were left dancing with a couple of local ladies looking for husbands.

Once they entered the room Brienna slid out from under the cloak and took one of his hands in hers and placed his other on her hip and started to dance with him to the ballad. "Do you know how to dance?"

Nora

Nora watched the mage the tall purple man speak and her father waved her over a moment. "Excuse me a moment." She ducked out and went to her father who was already packing her things for her. "Father? What are you doing?" He gave her an odd look.

"I'm sending you off to have a life of your own! If you stay here you will starve to death. B'sides, that young man needs your help. He'll never be as good with his sword as you are." Her father hugged her to himself and kissed her cheek. "I love ya lass but I'm breaking yer plate. Now get yer armor and sword on they are too awkward to carry." A few moments later she came out with all of her stuff in a couple of bags and he handed her her sword and shield.

Walking toward the men she looked back at her father and he nodded at her with tears in his eyes and she nodded back with the same in hers. She knew there was a good chance that she would not see him alive again. He was already sick and losing weight.

Putting on a brave face Nora stepped up to the men leading her horse behind her. "I'm ready when you two are. My name is Nora. And you are?"

Brienna

Brienna smiled. "Of course I do. I'm just glad that you left no one behind. I meant that would be horrible if you had." She said softly not wanting others to hear them. When she finished inspecting his wound she let her hand slide down his arm to his elbow and let it rest there. She couldn't help the feelings he had arisen in her and she didn't want them to stop just yet. "The party is nearly over would you like to go in if the crowds have died down? Samuel won't be available for a little while yet."

She shivered slightly as the cool wind entered the castle window and she stepped back a little and allowed her hand to slide into his. She smiled up at him not caring if he could see her blush or not.

Brienna

Brienna caught his eyes as he turned to look at her and she smiled. She saw the interest there and it made her feel a little excited. When he mentioned his mother though she stopped and her smile faded just a little. He had lost his entire family when he landed in that tree. She wondered if he had someone, a wife or children. This thought made her feel awful. "Jason, did you have a wife and children back home?" She whispered close to his ear. She fervently hoped he would say no but kept her expression controlled just in case.

Remembering his stitches she inspected them and frowned. They were a little deeper than necessary. That had to have hurt. She made a mental note to speak to William about that. She hissed slightly as she touched the spot softly. "I'll speak to William about this." She promised him.

To anyone looking at the pair they would look to be in an intimate conversation. Her face was close to his ear and they were looking out the window together. This is what Elizabeth saw when she left the party.

Brienna winced. She had momentarily forgotten about his head injury. "I'm sorry that he wasn't more careful. I try not to ask too many favors from William but I really had little choice. I should have done it myself." She smiled at his comment about William's cooking.

"I hope you don't mind but I got you a job as a castle guard. You will protect the castle and you will have your own room. It's small but you will have your own bed, some prestige, respect and some coin for your work. You will also be close at hand in case you need my help with anything." She added this last part and blushed. She was thankful that the light was dim and he would not likely see her reddened cheeks.

Once inside the castle she heard the music and was quick to smile. "The head guard's name is Samuel. He is the one you need to speak to but right now he is guarding the queen at the party." She stopped and looked out the window, down the hall from the party. There were fireworks of a sort being set off and she smiled brilliantly at the pretty colors lighting up the night sky.

"Jason do they still do this where you come from?" She whispered close to his ear while looking out the window.

In Grimm Times (December x Wick)

Alexis

It took everything in her to keep her control and not throttle the woman. The smile she plastered on her face was forced and uneasy to say the least. "Elias isn't well enough for visitors. You should have checked with my aunt first." Looking at Elias and seeing his anger at the other woman somehow made her feel slightly better. The room was increasingly uncomfortable for Jenora and within a few minutes she had excused herself and apologised for the intrusion and left.

When the woman left the room Alexis laid her head on the door for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief. She walked back to the bedside table and focussed on the task at hand not wanting to make Elias angry with her. "You should lay back. I'll prop you up with a pillow so you can eat." Fluffing his pillows and adding one to his collection she helped him sit up.

"Elias I-" she stopped, visibly stumped on how to put her thoughts into words that wouldn't push him away from her. "I know you have lady 'friends'. I just don't appreciate them in our home. If you could please keep them away...I'd appreciate that." The pain shone in her eyes and she turned away from him embarrassed for him to see how much it had affected her.

Blood Money

Nora

Nora saw the young man enter Roseburgh and thought little of it. When he tried to speak to the few people around she saw the effect on them that he had and she smirked a little. Carrying her smithy hammer she walked over to the crowd that had gathered around to taunt him. Walking through it she went right up to him and the crowd immediately stopped throwing stuff at him.

"Nora! Get out of the way lass!"

Turning to the man who had spoken she shook her head. "Nay Earl I'll not allow you to keep throwing refuse at him you are stinking up the place!" She shook her hammer at the group and they began to disperse with chuckles.

Turning back to the newcomer she looked him over and asked, "What kind of help did you need? If it's food or water you are on your own. These people here won't feed you they have too little. There is nothing left here to sustain life that isn't already being fought over. If it's something else maybe I can help."
