Someone ordered a monster angel Stark?

Stark is bored and a bored Stark is an idle Stark and we all know what they say about idle hands... So, here is a rather ugly man with a lot of scars currently building a house of cards in the main room. It's about four feet tall so far.

He's got a lot of time to kill...

homely_sonja September 16 2010, 06:23:41 UTC

And here's a rather ugly woman who is, well, not as tall as him, but almost.

And staring. Because seriously. What. Is. This. And part of her is terrified that this is the fabled Mountain, but of course, the mountain wouldn't be doing such things, of course not.

"Ser?"

ZOMG ILU THANKIES &hearts

Stark glances up at the woman when she enters and then back down to his cards. He doesn't recognize her, and her appearance doesn't even give him pause. He just reaches to pop open another box of cards.

"If you came to knock it down, I might have to have some strong words with you."

homely_sonja September 16 2010, 07:16:30 UTC

"I don't see why i would do such a thing," she replies a bit hesitantly. "I'm not a brute."

sandman_slim September 16 2010, 07:35:47 UTC

He glances up again at her. "I didn't think so, but you never know." Another card is set.

"Don't think we've met...?"

homely_sonja September 16 2010, 21:53:02 UTC

She shakes her head. "We haven't." She would remember someone like Stark. "And your name?"

If she can get away with not giving hers, she will - it's a habit, though moot it may now be.

sandman_slim September 17 2010, 17:37:20 UTC

"Stark. Yours?" He doesn't care if it's a fake name or not, he just doesn't like calling people he doesn't already dislike 'hey you'.

homely_sonja September 17 2010, 19:35:19 UTC

She looks guileless as she stares at him with wide blue eyes. "-- Brienne, my lord."

A beat. "Are you Benjen Stark, then, of the Night's Watch?"

He's the only Stark she can think he could be. The rest of them are all dead.

sandman_slim September 17 2010, 20:10:18 UTC

Not even close. "I'm not a lord and I'm not ... Benjen Stark. I'm just Stark." Stark straightens up from where he's placed another level to the card house and frowns thoughtfully. It does interesting things to his scars.

"You must be new. Did you already get the welcome speech? Because I'm really freaking bad at that whole thing."

homely_sonja September 18 2010, 21:04:59 UTC

.... "I -- suppose I did," she replies, and still looks confused. "-- The King in the North is here," she says, lamely.

She's of course referring to Robb. She can't get it out of her head that there's a Stark that's, well, not a Stark.

sandman_slim September 20 2010, 03:50:37 UTC

"Yeah. We've met. I'm not that kind of Stark." He pauses and thinks for a moment, a half smile on his face. It's just as strange looking as the frown was. "Could be related, but I don't think so." He looks over his card house and then flicks a lower card, watching it all fall.

"So, Brienne. You have a story? Or did you wanna grab a drink?" He nods to the kitchen.

homely_sonja September 20 2010, 04:29:35 UTC

"Everyone has a story," she replies blandly, "and I would have some water, if you please."

Stark might notice that despite how very friendly he is, her manner is very wary - and more so because is he flirting? And of course that sends all sorts of alarm signals in her mind, because No One Flirts Earnestly With Brienne of Tarth. Another of the laws of the universe as she knows it.

She's noting inwardly to ask His Grace about this strange relative of his - and isn't even noticing how ugly Stark is. (Then again, ugliness is the mainstay of her day.)

sandman_slim September 20 2010, 04:38:53 UTC

He heads to the kitchen, gesturing for her to follow. "This way."

He flirts with every stranger he meets. Nothing personal. He's also thinking of the other Stark, the daddy.

"Nothing else for you? Juice? Milk?"

homely_sonja September 21 2010, 04:41:42 UTC

--- "Water, if you please," she says, again, awkwardly.

The truth is, she could use a drink of wine, but she's been good with controlling that - sobriety is the first step to keeping your maidenhead, when you're alone on the road. Old habits die hard.

"My thanks, Lo -- Stark."

More old habits that are refusing to go away.

sandman_slim September 21 2010, 16:25:16 UTC

He may flirt, but Stark's not really interested in actually doing anything more. Nothing personal, really. He's still got a few issues of his own.

"Water. Okay." He opens the kitchen door and gestures to the room at large. "Make yourself comfortable."

homely_sonja September 23 2010, 03:56:11 UTC

As does the poor girl - what with all the taunting, merry-making and cruel teasing she's endured.

She's not really sure who she's pining for anymore, Renly or Jaime, but both are on her brain more than a little (not that she would give her maidenhead to anyone anyway - she's more controlled than that.) She would probably be the type to do it on for ~true love~, which is really the least of her concerns at the moment.

Brienne just stands there awkwardly for a bit, shuffling from one foot to the other. "-- thank you," she says, and is still eying him warily. She's expecting a cruel jab anytime now.
