Your Grace?
[they both watch her son Tommen] There he is.
Long may he reign.
Long may he reign.
He sits the Throne like he was born to it.
Yes. He wasn't, though, was he?
No, he wasn't.
You still mourn for Joffrey?
He was my husband, my King.
He would have been your nightmare.
Your Grace, I-
You knew exactly what he was. I did, too. You never love anything in the world the way you love your first child. It doesn't matter what they do. And what he did, it shocked me. Do you think I'm easily shocked?
No.
The things he did shocked me. [they look towards Tommen] He's only a boy. A good boy, a decent boy, he always has been. Who was the last decent king, I wonder? He could be the first man to sit on that throne in fifty years to actually deserve it.
It would be some consolation, wouldn't it? For all the horror that put him there.
He will need help if he's going to rule well.
He has you.
A mother is not enough. You're still interested in being Queen, I take it?
After all that's happened? It sounds strange, I know, but I haven't given any thought to it. What comes next. It would be a great honor, of course. But I will have to speak to my father about it.
Yes, speak to your father. I'll speak to mine.
We may be faced with an alarming number of weddings soon. I won't even know what to call you. Sister, or Mother?
