Strange Places, Strange People (Hp Girls and GoT Boys)

Charlotte had found herself, completely bewildered.

She had no idea what had just happened.

The portkey they had just used had taken them to a place that she had never seen before, and the people there seemed to stop and stare when they just appeared out of thin air a good 50 feet above the ground only to gently jog their way down to touch the ground. So they were muggles, and they had just done that in front of them. The Ministry would be absolutely livid when they found out about this.

As she was hurried by Senium and Raven out of sight, Charlotte struggled to keep up in her heels - she hadn't thought she would be running through dirt streets today rather shopping in New York with her friends. What a turn for the worse this day had taken.

Biting her lip she whispered;

"Seni, where are we?" she asked with a worried expression creasing her features.

People were following them from where they had left before, and Charlotte didn't know why they were. They were in some kind of garden by the sea, beside a great building. If she didn't know better she would have said it was some sort of palace. They were taking too much of an interest in them, and if they weren't in trouble already Charlotte would have cast an invisibility charm on the three of them, but that would make things ten times worse now.

"Guys, guys stop." Charlotte hissed "Shouldn't we just ask somewhere where the hell we are? We can't just wander around aimlessly!"

Goddamn Raven. Goddamn her and her fucking dodgy portkeys!

Now look where they had ended up.

No clue where they were, in the middle of a group of muggles who were now following them around and gossiping about them. No doubt they were going to call the equivalent of the police around here. It did look like they had stepped back into the middle ages though and she was glad of it - if they could manage to make them afraid of them then they would leave them alone long enough to figure out how they were going to get back home.

"No, we should keep moving." Senium instructed with a firm frown "We need to get out of here and find our bearings in whatever this place is."

The clattering of armour began to fill her ears and Senium tilted her head to one side, turning it to see that the gravel paths of the garden they found themselves in were being filled by guards dressed in curious helmets and red capes. All of them carried swords. No guns but swords. This was going to be easy if they needed to take them out, right now though, she was content to play along.

"Don't struggle. Play along with them. If things start to go badly, all link together, and I'll try and dissaparate us away back here." she instructed with a small hum to her voice, her large blue eyes looked around the scene as they were surrounded in the center of four paths.

"You will come with us." a guard wearing golden armour stated, the crown on the breastplate suggested this place still had a monarchy to serve and his following words cemented it "The King wants to see the three of you."

The smirk on the guards face made Senium uneasy but it didn't show on her features, instead she followed the men silently, alongside Charlotte who seemed to be scared - she had every right to be and Senium wasn't blaming her, and Raven who appeared to be not at all phased by what was happening which was not helpful. It was more likely to get them killed.

Raven had made just a little mistake and the murderous looks she was getting from Senium allowed her to know it. She didn't much care though, it was sure more interesting than going shopping in New York like Charlotte and Senium had wanted to do today. Far too girly, and far too safe for her liking - there was no chance to spill blood when you were shopping, at least not conventional chances. Perhaps she had been at war too long.

This might just be a chance for her to dial it down a little bit? Laughing at that thought as it came to her, Raven realised that she was never going to dial it down, that was who she was.

As soon as they were carted off inside by these soldiers, Raven looked around with hungry eyes, she could kill most of these guards right now if she wanted to - she just didn't want to right now. She wanted to see how this was going to pan out for her and her friends. If it went badly then she would slaughter them all then.

Inside the palace, Raven looked around and whistled softly; "I bet this cost a fuckload of money to make, and even more to maintain. I could live in a place like this, but I'd have to make a few changes first." she smirked as she looked around the main throne room as it seemed.

There were people hurriedly filing into the room and Raven gave them wicked smirks and jaunty waves, until she felt the eyes of the golden armoured guards lingering on her a little too long, and her lilac eyes were splashed with black ink and she raised a lip in a snarl;

"You look at me or my friends one more time, you golden cloaked twat and I will rip your lungs out through your throat and make you mate wear them." she snarled, her expression fierce before it slowly dropped back to her neutral expression and she smiled goofily at Charlotte to try and raise her mood slightly, you could tell that she was nervous but, she had no reason to be.

Jaime Lannister had been called down from the main hall of the Red Keep to help escort some new women to the chamber of the iron throne where Geoffrey was holding court today. Apparently these women were dressed in a weird way and had, apparently, fallen from the sky. It sounded like pure nonsense to Jaime but then again what did he know about such things? All he did was fight and as Knight Commander of the city he didn't do much of that anymore.

Arriving on the scene in time to see one of the strangely dressed women threatening one of his men, he chuckled a little bit as he looked them up and down quickly. Not one of them seemed to be dressed practically but he could see that the young was almost teetering on her shoes,

"Nice shoes." he commented to her with a smirk before turning to the group as a whole, "Well I must say you are an oddity..."

He sighed a little bit,

"And unfortunately for yourselves, the King likes oddities." he admitted before waving the guards to open the doors to show a full court with Geoffrey sat on the Iron Throne of a thousand swords. He spoke loudly, "I present to you Geoffrey Beratheon! King of the Seven Kingdoms and lord of the Andles and First men!"

He whispered back to them,

"Bow your heads a little bit if not full bow or you will not enjoy it here."

The Hound sighed a little bit as he watched the brat-king going about his business of ruling what little remained of the kingdoms after his war against Robb Starrk was over. The boy had all-but crippled his country by cutting half of it off and demanding that it basically become a slave-state to the south. He was crippling his country and what's worse was he was just making it all the more likely than civil war would break out again in the future.

And it would likely be a future where Tywin Lannister wasn't there to hand victory to his spoilt little brat of a grandchild to be honest. Which more than likely would end with the North destroying the South and the North would remember everything that Geoffrey and his family had ever done to them and return it with all the gusto of a North-man with a grudge.

When the three strange women stepped forwards, Geoffrey grinned a little bit,

"My my these are some exotic beauties..." he smirked wickedly, "Wouldn't you say, Dog?"

The Hound clenched his teeth once before nodding in agreement,

"Exotic beauties your grace."

Geoffrey scowled in a very ugly manner,

"I already said they were exotic beauties." he said darkly before smirking at the women, "Go on then madams, introduce yourselves to your new king and his court!"

Tywin Lannister was the hand of the king and as such it was his duty and his dubious honour to be a part of every meeting if court that Geoffrey decided was worth his time and considering the boy was a sadist to the bone it would mean that something gruesome was about to occur if he had his way.

Tywin was rather surprised then to see that there were three rather strangely dressed women in the middle of the court.

Honestly it was a wonder that anything surprised him anymore,

"My grace it appears that these fine ladies are our guests, not some of your subjects." He declared with a wave of his hand, "Visitors to a strange and exciting new land I am sure."

He bowed his head to the assembled women,

"Allow me to introduce myself." He spoke with a soft smirk, "My name is Tywin Lannister and it is my honour to welcome you to kings landing."

Charlotte couldn't help but blush a little bit when the male commented on her shoes, they were made by someone called Iron Fist and they had a zombies head on the bottom half of them including the heel. They were clouded a little bit with the sand of the gardens but they would clean up just fine. Looking at the man who had come to take them inside she noted, with great happiness, he was very attractive.

"Thank you. Maybe not the most practical but..." she stated with a soft smile on her lips, when he didn't introduce himself, she didn't either wondering if he was just making conversation and didn't really care about her shoes really.

When it was time to be introduced to the King, Charlotte held her head up high and called on the many times she had to deal with high Pure Blood families and thought she might as well be the official speaker for her friends. Senium didn't care and neither did Raven if they pissed off these people but, it would make for a smoother ride if they didn't do that.

Walking with purpose into the hall, her legs moving one in front of the other with the tightness of her pencil skirt, Charlotte halted a respectable distance away and bowed at the waist.

"I am very pleased to meet you, your Highness. I thank you for your compliment. I am Charlotte Matthews." she introduced herself, her pure white hair fell about her waist and her fringe boxed in her face well showing her almost glowing red eyes in the light the hall cast down upon her "Thank you too, sir for your kind welcome, we are happy to find ourselves in King's Landing and enjoying your hospitality."

Senium gawked at Charlotte when she stepped forwards so composed, she had never seen her friend act like that she was normally so goofy and nervous. Perhaps she had underestimated her for a long while - perhaps everyone had underestimated her? Either way, she was glad that she was able to articulate herself well she didn't think that she would show the respect this man would want, and Raven certainly wouldn't.

Stepping forwards Senium smirked a little bit when she saw that this boy had his bodyguard behind him, he obviously wasn't as strong as he would have people believe. If he was a problem she would take him down without any hassle.

Her tight black trenchcoat flared around her knees, opened in the heat to show her tight jeans and plain white blouse. Replacing her normal assassin boots Senium was wearing her small kitten heels, definately more practical than Charlotte's but they weren't as impressive. The golden blonde of her hair shone in the light and the large baleful blue eyes observed every nook of the room without even moving her head slightly.

"I am Senium Nex." she introduced herself with a slight bow of her head "Pleased to meet you King, and your court."

That, quite frankly was the best he was going to get.

"We find ourselves in Kings Landing quite unplanned, we would be grateful for any sort of direction for a place we might stay until we return home - we do not know the area at all." she explained with her gaze, unwavering directed at the body guard standing behind the King, he was...interesting.

Raven was tempted to laugh when she was asked to bow or her life would be made 'unpleasant' here. She didn't think that her life could be made any worse than what she had already suffered and as such she wasn't going to be bowing to this cocky son of a bitch that had done nothing to earn her respect. The only thing he had done was round the three of them up and direct them here with armed guards like cattle.

The fact that he complimented her, the brat, made her shiver and she felt completely ill.

In what world did he think that someone like her would sleep with someone like him, she would kill him harshly and brutally if he even tried to force the idea. She knew that both Charlotte and Senium would be thinking the same sort of ideas.

"I don't bow to anyone." she smirked wickedly at the soldier who had let them in "Let alone people who have done nothing to earn my respect, apart from sitting there on a pompous throne and round me and my friends up like fugitives."

Laughing softly at Charlotte, Raven came to stand beside her and wrapped her knuckles on her head;

"Oh Charlotte, you are too polite. These men have just captured us for simply arriving here, why do they deserve your curtosey? They don't is the simple answer." she smirked, but mockingly tipped her head towards the King and the others sitting by him "I'm Raven, but you might call me The Sweeney should it please."

Her eyes shifted to the older man who had spoken, he was clearly the one holding the power here, in the way he stood and held himself, grinning at him she asked;

"Whatever shall happen to us now I wonder?" she chuckled softly.

Raven almost got herself killed and thusly, dissapperated away to avoid this
Leaving Charlotte and Senium

Tywin had to resist the urge to groan a little bit in both anger and disappointment. For the sake of the gods , all the women had to do was be moderately polite and he could have steered them clear of Geoffrey's anger but as it stood the one called Senium appeared to have annoyed Geoffrey because she had not shown adoration. Didn't matter that she probably never would and definitely didn't and wouldn't.

And Geoffrey only cared for what Geoffrey thought.

Shaking his head a little bit, he held his hand up to stop the king talking with casual ease. He stepped forwards to Charlotte and Senium,

"You appear to have come from somewhere very far from here." He admitted with a soft smirk, "Somewhere that doesn't have a king I would expect."

He bowed his head to them both,

"While you are in the capital you will be given the tour by my eldest son and heir ." He decided, gesturing to Jaime, "Jaime Lannister... He will show you the wonders of the capital my dears. Now if you'll excuse me... I have work to attend to."

Practical shoes huh?

Well they appeared to be a set of rather intimidating shoes he had to admit but that wasn't something he was all that against. He was a knight after all and the shoes of his armour were about as heavy and as large as hers seemed to be so he could very well tease her about that now could he. Shaking his head a little bit, he smirked,

"Forgive me for saying so my lady but you don't appear to be near enough to combat for boots that practical." He teased her slightly with a sky wink to show that he was just having a bit of a joke around, "Unless you're going to suddenly turn out to be a battler or something."

Shaking his head a little bit at the attitude of the king, Jaime nodded to his father and bowed low to both of the women,

"My ladies, it would be my honour to show you kings landing." He explained to them before grinning slightly, "A real pleasure I don't mind telling you my dears. Shall we?"

The Hound could see that the king was beyond annoyed and that he would be getting some revenge in some way or another. He placed a hand on his sword on the off chance that a fight was going to break out. Of it did then he would put money on the idea that it was all Tywin and his idea that would set the brat king off .

Definitely when the hand of the king merely walked away after dropping the bomb onto them like that. He barely managed to hide a smirk before Geoffrey acted, rashly as always ,

"Dog!" He commanded rudely, "You are to go with them. See that they see the city for what it is and not what the peasants are in danger of turning it into. Off with you dog!"

The Hound nodded his head and stood beside Jaime as the king and court began to leave . He paused for a moment,

"This tour will be quick... Understood?"

Charlotte blinked a little bit when the king almost kicked off at Senium for well...nothing. She had bowed her head and she had treated him respectfully however there seemed to be something wrong with what she had said. Apologising very quickly for any offence that had been given, reassuring that it was not intended in the least - Charlotte was very glad when he dismissed them and they could leave the court.

It gave her the creeps and made her feel more than a little bit nauseous.

"Well." she whispered softly, hugging her arms around herself when the court was empty enough and the King had blissfully gone "That didn't go that well. Senium why couldn't you just be nice and play along you could have gotten us in trouble!"

Glaring at Senium, Charlotte realised her glare wasn't very severe and Senium thought it was cute more than anything but she wanted to glare anyway. It made her feel a little bit better. As soon as she heard that the tour was going to begin and it was the handsome soldier from before who was going to take them around, Charlotte smiled shyly.

"I would love to see King's Landing with you sir." she smiled brightly "Your father is a lovely man, I think we owe him our necks. I hope that trait runs in the family." Charlotte flirted lightly, sending him a soft smile.

As they walked away, Charlotte gently sucked on one of her snake bites and fell in step with Jamie.

Senium grinned when the man who she had been silently regarding was being sent along with them on the tour of this 'King's Landing'. It was going to be a lot more interesting considering that Charlotte was already getting her claws into Jamie - it was rather interesting to watch her work with the subtle body language that all leant towards him. Did she do that herself, she wondered? It didn't much matter to her though.

"I'm sorry Char, moy tsvetok (my flower)." she murmured "You know it is not in my nature, I did try."

This seemed to placate her friend and the little glare that she gave her made her grin in return; "You know you look like a kitten when you glare at me like that."

The man seemed to be more than a little bit grumpy and she flicked her eyes over to him, looking him over again and she made a small humming noise. She was happy with what she had seen but she didn't know what he thought of her, it was strange, normally she could tell something like that through body language and such. Maybe he really didn't care.

"What if I do not want it to be short?" she asked with a smirk, her voice purring with her accent "I do not believe that I know your name, will you tell me, or shall I have to spend this tour guessing? I think that Charlotte is busy at the minute." Senium added with a larger smirk pulling at the corners of her lips.

The hound watched as Jaime Lannister and the youngest of the two women seemed to take this as a chance to flirt up a storm with each other. He wanted nothing more than to stab a knife right into the blonde mans neck at that point but he resisted the urge by the barest of margins .

Gods he wanted a drink.

He turned to the other one, the one who appeared to be called Senium if he wasn't mistaken. He blinked a few times,

"The king doesn't want it to be a short tour either." He told her before he raised an eyebrow, "But duck the king. This will take as long as it takes and it might take much longer than he expects."

He paused as he lead the way down the streets of kings landing,

"How new are you to westeros?"

Jaime had to admit that he was rather enjoying the company of these women to be fair. They were interesting and it had been quite some time since he had been able to flirt with a woman without Circe threatening her until she either disappeared completely or took her own life from the fear and the shame that the queen brought down on them.

At least that wasn't about to happen here.

"You handled the king very well it must be said. Many people within his own court are not that well behaved you know." He admitted before laughing a little bit and adding, "You might as well add me to that list if you promise not to tell."

He winked at her.

Taking her hand as they slowly began to stroll down the roads of kings landing, Jaime couldn't help but ask some questions about Charlotte,

"Your accent is absolutely gorgeous." He told her with a grin, "All... Sultry I find. Or maybe that's just your voice?"

Charlotte preened happily when she heard Jamie tell her that she had handled the King well, she had hoped she would have done but there was no telling. She didn't know their culture and she didn't know as a result what was expected of her when she spoke to the King. Wanting to find out more about Jamie, and the city they were in Charlotte looked up at him as they walked alongside each other around the building.

"Well I'm used to dealing with demanding persons." she stated with a wistful smile before she let it grow slightly and she grinned up at Jamie "Alright, I promise I won't tell a soul, my lips are zipped." Charlotte winked, poking her tongue out.

The wink that he gave her made her heart flutter a little bit and she looked back at Senium and the other man with an ecstatic smile while Jamie was looking the other way, giving them two thumbs up before returning to the conversation she had been having beforehand.

Feeling her hand in his own warm, rough grip made her blush again and she shyly smiled at him;

"Why thank you Jamie." she whispered softly, her voice caressing his name "Maybe we should say it's a mixture of the two, I don't think my country should take all of the credit now. So tell me, where is it that you were born? Were you born here in Kings Landing?" Charlotte asked, eager to know more about this place.

Senium smirked as she heard that the man completely ignored her question about what his name was, so he did want her to guess after all? She would have a lot of fun trying to come up with guesses about what name would suit his face. Once again she looked up at him, silently looking him over and she smirked very softly;

"You look like you could be a Marcus, or a Victor, something strong." she guessed, that same small smirk remaining on her lips "Will you tell me when I get it right?"

The fact that he didn't want this tour to be short either in the end made her frown a little bit, well, he said that it would take as long as it took but he wasn't doing anything to speed it up like he had suggested that he wanted to. Senium was grateful for it though.

"Sounds like a sentiment that I can get behind." Senium agreed with a nod "Why do you follow a person such as that, you have strength where as he has none. I never enjoyed the system of monarchy, far too...unfair." she hummed gently.

Westeros? Is that what this country was called? Looking up at the man with an amused expression Senium asked;

"If I asked what Westeros actually was, would that give you some idea?"

Jaime was enjoying himself for the first time since he had arrived back in kings landing. Both his sister and his father were being massive pains in his arse so it was nice to finally meet someone who wasn't on either of their payrolls. At least he thought she wasn't... His dagger worked quickly but even he and the Lannister fortune didn't last all that long,

"Yes well if you're not careful someone might try and pry those lips open for their own gain." He told her with a frown, "You've got to be careful around here alright Charlotte? Otherwise the people here will either use you or buy you."

He gave her a wink,

"And you're better than this place I can tell."

Shaking his head a little bit as he licked his lips a little bit , Jaime whispered to her right by her ear,

"Well however you're doing it... Keep it up!" He declared before shaking his head, "No I was born in castley rock - the Home of the lannisters. What about you?"

The Hound raised an eyebrow when she took his silence about his name as a way of asking her to start guessing his actual name. But it was going to make her at least somewhat entertained and he knew that she was likely never going to get his title or his actually name to be fair. No one ever called him by his name and few ever used his title without fear.

He nodded,

"Tell you what girl, you get it right you get one free favour from me in anything." He explained to her before adding, "So far you're wrong girl. Keep trying and I'll see what I can win from your attempts to guess my name."

He shrugged a little bit when she asked him why he served such a weaker king than her was a man. The answer was simple and yet not,

"A man's got to have a code." He explained with a small frown, "even if your code is to sit there and watch as little boys become little monsters. Was my job, that was my duty. And I did so with pride right up until the part where he betrayed my trust."

He raised an eyebrow,

"I'd say that you are lying but I don't think you're that good at it." He said with a small smirk, "You're far from home little Seni."

Charlotte was a little bit upset with the turn that this conversation was taking, she didn't want to know about the doom and gloom surrounding this place but she was sure that it was something she did need to know. Sucking on her lip piercing softly she thought that she was going to have to be on her guard around here, Senium never let her guard down and so she didn't have to worry about her and what might happen if she was gotten to.

"What do you mean Jamie, use me for what?" she asked softly, placing her hand further up his arm and stopping their walking so that they could talk properly "Do you mean that I shouldn't trust anyone here, with things that they do not need to know, in case they use those things against me or other people? This sounds awfully...cut throat."

Shivering softly when he whispered in her ear, Charlotte looked up at Jamie from under her fringe, worried now about the dangers lurking around King's Landing, dangers she was completely ignorant about being a new person here and those dangers would know that now.

Trying to distract herself Charlotte smoothed down her blouse and asked;

"Castley Rock? Was that a nice place to grow up in?" she asked with a gentle smile "I grew up in a place called Silent Close, it is the Matthew's family home and it contains all of our wealth. I'm the last Matthew's unfortunately...so it's upkeep goes to me."

Senium smirked a little bit when she heard that they were engaging in some sort of bet about whether or not she would get his name in time. What would he want if she didn't guess his name correctly, or she gave up in the attempt altogether? Hopefully it was something that wouldn't make her immediately more hostile against the man, and would be light hearted enough for the games to continue.

"Hm and what is it that you would want if I fail to guess your name correctly in the end of things?" she asked with a small smirk "Would you ask a favour of me, people pay pretty prices back home for a favour from me." Senium illuminated the value of her services with pride, for her kills cost more than this man saw in a life time most likely.

Raising an eyebrow Senium shrugged her shoulders and looked across the street they were walking in, taking in the scenery, the people and watching for anything out of the ordinary.

"I understand that, I have my own code. Yours simply seems a little strange to me, but whatever works for you." she decided with not even a look in his direction Senium was too busy keeping an eye on the man with Charlotte in front of them, making sure that he was being respectful to her.

Unable to stop a harsh laugh Senium grinned up at the man;

"Bozhe moy! (My God!)" she laughed "That is only because you do not know me man, if you did, you would be singing quite the different tune. I show emotion when I wish it, I just so happen to wish it at this moment. Can you boast such a skill?"

That was true. What could he want from her? Would he want something material or did he want something in as ethereal as a favour? In the end he decided it was better to play it safe with an unknown. It was better just to have a drink with her picking up the tab.

Of course she would have to get some money first so he wouldn't cash in his favour just yet. A man had to have his code after all,

"Girl if you do guess my name you will have a favour from me. However if you do not and you fail to guess my name I get a drink." He told her with a shrug, "Games make me thirsty after all."

It seems that their cultures were not too different after all. A woman had her code and a man had his own. It was all that mattered to the hound, it was all that mattered to her it appeared,

"Well as long as we stick to our codes and don't bother each other I can't see us being enemies like the king wants." He told her with a sideways look, "He's not often stopped from acting how he wants."

Could he boast such a skill? In all honesty the answer was probably no but that had never really bothered him before to be honest,

"No I can't say I have that skill... Never needed it." He admitted, "I saved the lying and the emotions for the men and women of high society around here. I just attack when I am told... Because I enjoy parts of my job."
