tyrion; DF verse

[theladyofwinterfell]

After having a long conversation with Tyrion while he worked on the mask to go down to the planet, Sansa has realized two things: one, that her relationship with Tyrion is in some middle area between friendship and marriage and two, that she would like very much for him to show her exactly what the marriage side of it might be like.

He'd mentioned to her that he wanted to brush her hair and, to that end, she has gotten together a few things to go over and see him in his quarters: a nightgown, her hairbrush, a small bag of toiletries. She has never shared a bed with him for anything other than sleep and she imagines this won't be much past that but it's a step, at least, and one she hopes he'll appreciate.

When she's arrived, she knocks at the door of his lab and waits without, voice just loud enough to be heard through the door.

"Tyrion? I thought I might stay the night on your ship instead of my own?"

Behind the door of the lab, there's the sound of someone dropping something heavy and loud. Then, there is the sound of Tyrion cursing. Prolifically. After that, there is the sound of Tyrion opening the door. Peering suspiciously up at Sansa, before his eyes widened a little.

"...By the Seven, it is really you. I thought it was Loki, trying to burrow under my skin. I - I did hear you correctly? You wanted to spend ...the night ... with me?" He paused, then added, "In a chaste manner, I assume?"

Sansa gives him something of an awkward look. She hadn't decided exactly how far she intended to go, having thought she might simply play it by ear, and she smiles a bit.

"I don't know, I just decided to come. I didn't exactly plan what we'd be doing or not doing."

[tallasaking]

"...well that is fine." Yes it was. He beamed at her, and stepped back to let her into the workshop. "I'm not quite ready for bed, yet, so please ...come in and talk with me."

He paused, then hobbled off to clean up the mess he made by dropping one of his devices on the floor in utter shock. He cleared his throat, "As you can see, it is a bit of a mess right now, so I should clear up before we retire."

It would also give him some time to get himself Under Control. Lannister, stop being an idiot moon-addled child.

"I'm sorry, I should have hailed you over the network before just showing up. I just didn't think there'd be anything wrong with coming over since you'd seemed so amenable to it before."

Sansa looks to the broken device on the floor and tilts her head a bit. "Could I help you clear it away, please?"

[tallasaking]

"Oh, there is not!" Right, he had best get this on the right foot again before he ended up saying something else idiotic. He came over to her, and smiled, offering his hand.

"I would be greatly appreciative of your help, and your company."

"You can get ready for bed sooner if I help you," Sansa agrees. She kneels down to start picking up what had fallen when she startled him and laughs softly. "I really didn't mean to surprise you. Who did you think I was?"
