Barely containing her desire, her voice a whisper You came. Thought you'd chicken out, fucker.
No, Brienne... there is something else... I love you.
A flicker of surprise crosses her face, her voice wavering What did you say?
I said that I love you...
Shaking her head, tears welling up in her eyes No... no, you can't love me. This is a mistake. I'm just a warrior, not some prize to be won.
I'm not doing this for a prize... I want an honorable fight so we can run away together, Brienne!
Takes a step back, trying to compose herself You don't understand. The life of a warrior is dangerous, unpredictable. It's not for someone like you.
You're right... but even a warrior has desires, needs... I know it isn't easy but if there is anyone I would take that risk for it's you... Brienne!
Raises her sword, tears streaming down her face You don't know what you're asking for. But fine, let's fight.
No, not now. I was talking about us... I mean that duel thing was a ruse, we should run away together instead!
Pauses, her grip on the sword loosening Run away together? Are you sure? It's not just about fighting, Vargas. It's about survival, honor... everything.
Yeah I am... what do you say?
A mix of fear and determination in her eyes, she lowers her sword Fine. But we leave tonight, under the cover of darkness. No more games.
Yes! That's all I need to hear!
Grabs Vargas' hand and pulls him close No more games indeed. We'll leave this behind and forge a new path together.
And by forging that new path we shall get married eventually... maybe even have kids later on in life!
Blushes deeply, her voice barely audible Marriage... kids... Clears her throat Let's focus on surviving tonight first, shall we?
Right, before mom Yegeena catches us sneaking out.
Straightens her back, her voice firm We need supplies. Food, water, weapons. We can't afford to be caught empty-handed.
Leave it to me. I shall get everything necessary for our escape.
Nods, her mind already racing with strategies Good. Meet me at the stables in ten minutes. We leave at midnight. Don't be late.
