[D4 EA] Lady Troubles (Lysa's Chambers)

[Alicent Feyther]

She sighed and rolled back onto her heels, waiting for the servant to leave before saying, "I know there's going to be a certainly amount, but I'm asking because too much and you can die. I like you. I don't want that to happen." She stood up and sighed. "Sorry, I know it's weird and uncomfortable."

[Lysa Meadows]

"I was careless, Alicent," the girl straightened as the pain began to pass, "if I cannot endure the Mother's punishment," she shrugged.

[Alicent Feyther]

She rubs the side of her head. "Overdosing on a medicine isn't a spiritual punishment. Even if it was, people don't deserve to be so badly punished for a bit of carelessness."

[Lysa Meadows]

"I don't know how they do things in the Westerlands, but in the Reach, there is a certain expectation of a woman before she's married." Lysa leaned back into the pillows scattered on the couch, "this wasn't mere carelessness. I should never have compromised my honour," after a moment she added, "or his."

[Alicent Feyther]

"Nothing's different in the Westerlands," she sighed, sitting down nearby. "Anyway... It wasn't mere carelessness? What do you mean?"

[Lysa Meadows]

"There's nothing careless about giving away one's honour before they are married. I knew full what I was doing, and I should have know full well that I would not escape the consequences." Lysa sipped at the mulled wine, the ginger seemed to be helping, "I only hope..." she trailed off, frowning.

[Alicent Feyther]

"Lysa?" She asked, trying to remember even off hand the most common treatment for poisoning. It was relatively simple, she remembered...

[Lysa Meadows]

Lysa waved the question the question away. “You really have been most kind, Alicent. Please, I must ask that you tell no one, no matter what questions they ask. Not even the father knows.”

[Alicent Feyther]

"I've been circumspect so far. I have no reason to change that," she assured. "I'm sorry... My concern made me pushy. I hope you'll forgive me."

[Lysa Meadows]

Lysa nodded, “it is quite all right, in fact your concern is appreciated.”
