gendry waters, myrcella baratheon

Who: Gendry and Myrcella
When: Sunday 13th October
Where: Cafe
What: Getting to know you
Rating/Warning: Low/None
Status: In progress

Myrcella got off the bus not far from the cafe where she had arranged to meet Gendry. She was excited yet nervous to talk properly to her recently discovered half-brother. She was glad he'd agreed to meet up with her, it had been a shock to both of them to see each other but Myrcella had come around to the idea of a half-brother since then and with her mum back in the UK with her other siblings it seemed an opportune time to get to know each other.

Entering the cafe she looked around to see if Gendry was there yet or if she should get a table for them.

As it was, Gendry arrived just seconds behind Myrcella. It was still surreal to him, to have family he'd never had before, the most recent discovery being Myrcella; he wondered who else might pop out of the wood work. A cousin perhaps? Another sibling? Maybe even his father? It seemed the closer he got to his father, the further away he actually was.

When he saw Myrcella, he paused for a moment. She didn't look anything like him, or anything like Renly, no matter how hard he looked. She definitely took after her mother, then, and Gendry at least knew just what Myrcella's mother looked like.

He walked up beside her. "Hi," he greeted. "Been waiting long?" Well, that was fucking lame, wasn't it?

Myrcella had always been told that she and her brothers took after her mums side of the family so Gendry must have taken after their dads side, at least that was her theory. But she hadn't dwelled on it for long. She had moved on to the excited part of the revelation, especially now that she didn't have to worry about her mum.

"Hi" she smiled brightly, "Nope I actually just got here. How are you?" she asked kindly.

	"I'm okay" Myrcella told him, paying him more attention that she had before when they'd first met. "It's all still a bit weird isn't it?" she said with a wry smile, "I mean, better now the shock has won off but still strange to think you're my brother" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think I can do that" she grinned at him, happy he'd said he was her brother, "You already have this brother thing down" she told him warmly. It was maybe easier for her to accept, since she wasn't an only child and welcomed the idea of having a nicer older brother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Is it that easy?" Gendry asked as they approached the counter. Cafe food confused him, most especially American cafe food. There was nothing Scottish about the menu, nothing even remotely recognizable to Gendry. "I just have to buy you things to be good at it?" he teased. After a moment, he asked, "What do you do anyway? Do you go to school? Work?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Myrcella laughed, "Hmmm there is a little more to it but buying lunch definitely helps" she teased back. "I'm in my last year at Creekside High School, then I go to college. It took some adjusting when I came over because I was all set to start college back in the UK but it's not so bad" she shrugged. "What about you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
