[ From the looks of it, this new face has been messing around with the Forge for upwards of twenty minutes. His face is twisted in a most unhappy expression that was probably brought on by waking up in this room and being greeted with such a poor explanation as to why he was here and then intensified by the fact he couldn't get this godforsaken

video, like a boss

[For a single, stinging moment, Bran feels sorry for him. He wishes his mother was here, too, even after she had left him in Winterfell along with the rest. He can understand that feeling.]

[But the sympathy is short-lived when he remembers what Joffrey did while Bran was stuck in Winterfell. To Sansa. To Father. All the things he'd been told and couldn't do anything about...]

[And the fact is, more than anything, Bran never wants to see Joffrey's mother again.]

Stop shouting, she isn't here. Neither is your council.

video, best boss ever.

[mydaddyissues]

[ The sympathy, Bran, is not even moderately close to shared. He might wish that his mother were here, but as a few minutes had gone by and she had yet to show up, it had become more and more clear that she won't be making an appearance. ]

[ Needless to say, this hasn't improved his mood. ]

[ And a Stark? Well, this one's not so bad - he can't do anything, and last he knew, it wasn't this Stark that was playing the part of thorn in his side. But - you know, one day he might. ]

Yet there is an abundance of useless children about.

[ He means you, Bran. He means you. ]

video, the most boss boss

[branthebroken]

[Bran's mouth tightens into a line, but he refuses to show any sign of pain at the barb. Useless. One of those things he'd been spared hearing so far, but now he has no choice but to face it.]

[I am a Stark of the North. I am not useless.]

I suppose. Only children cry for their mothers.

video, and also kind of bossy

[mydaddyissues]

I am not one to wail like a woman or a babe, boy. A king commands his subjects - he does not cry to them.

[ - cry to them like a child wishing to be held and assisted to walk. ]

[ He had never paid much mind to Bran Stark before. He heard he'd fallen, yes, but respects had been paid when the boy had still be asleep, and Joffrey himself under some duress. Idle days, when slaps had corralled him. Besides, it had been Tommen who had fought with the younger Stark boy, hadn't it? ]

[ Joffrey had been occupied with (goading) Robb Stark. And now that the little broken boy held Winterfell while Robb and his wolf marched upon him. Yes, some brothers garnered more interest than others. ]

video, that's the only way he knows how to be u_u

[branthebroken]

[He keeps his gaze steady, almost as a challenge. Imagining Joffrey as king - one too cowardly to raise a hand to his sister himself, too wild to listen to council. Bran may not have fared very well as a prince, but he did what he thought was best. Could Joffrey say the same?]

[There's the barest twitch at the corner of his mouth, but he keeps his face frozen. Mild.]

Then where are the subjects you commanded?

[I don't see them running to your call. You have no king's power here.]

video, it's okay, bran, joffrey's bossy too

[mydaddyissues]

[ For a moment, Joffrey holds the younger boys gaze - cool with a flicker of deep dislike in the Lannister green... ]

[ Before he seems to come to the realization that he had almost started an argument with a boy - stooping just as low as a child would. A Stark boy and hardly worthy of his conversation. Joffrey relaxed and reclined slightly; he allowed his tone to drop into an unconcerned drawl, and picked at a hole in the bedclothes. ]

Absent it would seem. A state I do not find acceptable and for which they shall be punished for.

[ If they are here. ]

video, they can be bossybuds!

[branthebroken]

You can't punish someone who isn't here.

[And not without your servants to do the punishing for you, apparently. Somehow Joffrey's flippant attitude is even worse than the aggressive one, and Bran frowns, trying not to let himself give in too much.]

You haven't got any subjects.

video, no, bossyBROS.

[mydaddyissues]

Yet.

[ Maybe he's a bit too optimistic in this situation, which can translate into stubborn, which is the root of determined in latin, synonymous with spoiled and spelled the same as blond-haired-brat. ]

[ Who knew. ]

video BOSSYBROS AWW YEA

[branthebroken]

At all.

[GODS BE GOOD don't make him help you out here, Joffrey.]

This isn't King's Landing. This isn't even anywhere in Westeros. The people here are not yours to command.
