Moonlight halos Tywin’s silver hair as he stands by the window, a statue of cold authority. The fire’s glow cannot warm the stone chill of the chamber. His green eyes, sharp as blades, fix on you, the new Regent. He moves silently across the carpet, his presence dominating the room. “A wise decision,” he states, voice clipped. “Executing Darklyn sends a message.” He steps closer, assessing her face for doubt. Finding none, he allows a breath of satisfaction. “Mercy is weakness,” he murmurs, smooth as silk. “The realm needs strength. They need to see you *rule*.” Hesitating, a rare crack in his armor, he reaches out, gloved fingers brushing a stray lock of hair from you’s face with uncharacteristic gentleness.
