[ Hours later, when the team meeting disperses (let’s not think too hard about timelines okie dokie?), Tim agrees to go...looking for the blood. A plan which makes him question his sanity perhaps more than anything else that has transpired in the last week, but Aemond was right about one thing for sure – it's better than standing idle and waiting out the clock. He’s withheld his vote against Alia in hopes of new evidence, so better get to finding it. ]
Thank you for not saying anything in there.
[ Around Hawk, and Alicent, Koby and Quentin too. Murder drama is more than enough, Tim’s on edge as it is without adding anything on top of it. But it was...weird, weird that it happened at all, weird that he allowed it, let himself get absorbed into the fucked up power play of it all, that he glances at the small mark at the corner of Aemond’s mouth and feels satisfaction where the shame should be. He doesn’t have time for that. Every waking moment (which is most moments) has to be about figuring this out, so that as many people survive the game as possible. The rest can wait. ]
I have to remind you though, of what I said when we met. I don’t care about House Targaryen, or Hightower, or Atreides. I care about Alicent. And you, and Alia. Your histories and your mottos don’t apply to me, even if you call me brother.
[ Fire and Blood. That’s not him. It won’t ever be. If that’s a mark against his loyalty, Aemond should have said so before...well, before whatever all that was in the hallway. ]
