[There is something strange about being told that you remind a man of his wife. She decides not to unpack that, and instead take it as the compliment it is meant to be.]

You are wrong.

[She says this firmly, though not unkindly. Now is not the time to unpack her tragic backstory -- truthfully, she does not feel nearly comfortable enough to go into all the gorey details of it.]

The enemy is not impossible. And the advantages are mine, now. Three of them, along with a navy, and an army that twice outpaces the tyranny I seek to snuff out.

[She sips at her wine thoughtfully. The more she told this story, the more anxious she got. It all seemed so far away, and she was getting more and more eager to get back to it. As if Cersei was somehow gaining ground while she was gone, even though in her heart she knew that was impossible.]

If they ever dane to send me back, the pretender on my throne will never have a chance to sacrifice another life to feed her greed ever again.
