( Sansa's life has only become worse since her betrothal with Joffrey has been broken and he's now betrothed to Margaery Tyrell. Now she's just a traitor's get and the target of his worst tempers and she doesn't know how much more she can take. Joffrey has Ser Boros and Ser Meryn beat her almost daily and he threatens to take her as his mistress even as he's betrothed to someone else; he's yet to do it but Sansa lives in fear of it regardless.
Joffrey decides to hold a tournament in celebration of his upcoming wedding and forces the Kingsguard to enter along with everyone else. Sandor Clegane takes the joust, unhorsing his own brother and killing him on the spot. The maester declares it an accident, even if it is suspicious, and Clegane is entitled to any prize he wants. He doesn't name a queen of love and beauty, instead just tossing the flowers vaguely Sansa's way, and Joffrey demands he take his prize. )
Come on, Hound, surely there's something you want. Do you want the Stark girl? Lady Sansa is bruised and beaten but nobody's fucked her yet. You could fuck her as much as you want.
( Sansa colors bright and tries to figure out a way out of this - what is she going to do, truly? She presses her lips together and when she speaks, it sounds older than a girl on the cusp of seventeen. )
Your Grace, forgive me, but Ser Gregor's death means that Ser Sandor is now Lord of Clegane Keep. It'd be a much more worthy prize to award me as wife than a one time prize. He could ruin me over and over.
( Joffrey thinks about it for a long moment and claps his hands. )
It's settled then! Hound, you'll marry Lady Sansa and then we'll have a bedding in front of the Court. That's your prize for the tourney.

Why are you being so cruel? I want to learn and I want to be with you and all you've done is insult me over it.
no subject
When have I been anything other than cruel. Did you think a ceremony was going to make me anything other than what I am?
[ Why would she choose him, that's the part he's having trouble getting past. He understands going along because there's no better option, but she seems to want it, past obligation, and that he doesn't understand. ]

( Sansa doesn't know how to perform the act he's asking for but she imagines if he wants it, he'll tell her how. )
no subject
I don't want you to hate it.
[ Another beat, hesitating, then: ]
Would you still want this if you hadn't been given away as a prize?
no subject
I manipulated them into giving me to you for a reason. I want this and I don’t want to hear anything else about it, all right?
( Sansa draws closer again and puts her hands on his chest. )
Show me what to do.
no subject
You were doing just fine before, girl.
no subject
I can't kiss you and do this at the same time, I'm not tall enough unless you lean down.
no subject
Better?

( Everything feels impossibly good right now but Sansa is also nervous because she doesn't know what she's doing and she feels like she needs Sandor's guidance now more than ever. )
no subject
Won't say no.
