She looked at the door dubiously, but was not going to risk it. Yet, anyway. Slowly, she walked over to the table and sat down, never quite letting go of the knife. "What do you want?" she asked.

He smiles broadly. "I want you to have some wine, to help your brother. He went looking for Owen Miller, and my men won't be very nice to him, I don't think. I'm not a big judge of such men, but truth be told Harrys likes young men. Overly much."

Joanna took her half-empty wine glass from earlier and sipped some, unable to see how this would benefit Jaymes in any way. "What are you going to do to him?" she asked, horrified.

She hears footsteps running down the hall. "Better pretend to be fine, my dear," he says with a smile. Pounding on the door.
"Lady Joanna! Are you okay?!"

"Now why would I do that?" she hissed. "Are you him?"

"Answer the guard, Joanna, and we can keep talking. Otherwise it gets bloody."
"Lady Joanna? Are you all right?" The familiar voice of one of her guards says.

"Yes," she replied loudly, still somewhere between angry and scared.

"All right then!" The guard heads off.
"Am I who now?" He turns to find two glasses, then fumbles as he pours his wine into both. He takes a sip of it, and smacks his lips. "Perfect." He offers her the other glass. "I want so many things, Joanna. What do you want? Other than for me to die slowly in a boiling vat of my own bodily fluids, of course?"

"Release my brother," she said in a low voice.

"Now we're getting somewhere," he says in a cheerful voice, though low so as to not cause too much noise. "I don't particularly want to hurt your brother, either. House Lannister has had enough pain, hasn't it? Although you didn't seem near as broken up as everyone else at your poor sister's passing." He leans in. "As a side note, I apologize for missing that. If I'd have been there to kill the Stark boy, we would have just used that little Martell slut."

Joanna shifted in her seat involuntarily, paying her full attention to the man now if she wanted it or not. She quickly dissed the idea of throwing his wine at him, as well. Everything he said just raised more questions, most importantly..
"Who are you?" she asked again.

"My name is Nicholas Snow. It's a pleasure to finally get to speak to you." He sounds curiously honest even as he says something so profoundly disturbing. He looks her up and down. "Prettier than your sister, really. Now, of course, especially, but even before." He takes another sip of wine. "Now, your brother...I nearly forgot. Right now he is being watched by two of my bumbling yet best men. Let me tell you what is probably happening. He said something manly and arrogant, my lusty man touched him inappropriately, and he is being restrained by Gus, my right hand. And don't insult the name Gus; I'm sure it's short for something. Fortunately, this can all end easily enough." He grins.

Joanna closed her eyes briefly and took a deep breath, trying not to think about a manhandled Jaymes. "Why are you doing this?" she asked, evidently failing to find the hilarity of the situation.

He shrugs. "It's all a job to me. Getting to watch you was just an unexpected benefit."

"You said it could end easily," Joanna said, suddenly remembering the last part of his speech. "What do you want?"
