Alanna stood there in front of Robert's door. The unamused expression that laid across her face was enough to explain what she thought about being here. When Jamie had asked for her to be present at Robert's chambers, she hated the idea.

The fat idiot wasn't anything she wanted to deal with her whole time here. But still, if the "king" wished to speak to her, she had to comply no matter how awful it sounded.

Knocking upon the door she was greeted with a guard and the shouting of Robert to allow her inside. Inhaling deeply she stepped over over threshold and entered his chambers while the guard was dismissed by Robert.

"I saw what you did! Spectacular as always!"

"Just trying to keep the peace."

She said her tone calm and cool. Robert chuckled as he took a drink out of his glass. He was sitting at his small table and drinking away the day. The stench of alcohol oozing out of his sweaty body was enough to cause Alanna's stomach to turn, if she were anyone else she would have probably puked from the heightened senses she and the rest of the wards possessed.

"Look at you, all high and mighty and full of grace."

Robert muttered to himself, but loud enough to have been speaking to her. Alanna stood there with her hands behind her back merely listening to his drunken rambles.

"If my wife were anything like you, well -- "

"Cersei is an incredible lady and your Queen. I'm merely a ward of the Lannister line."

"Tell me, has Tywin ever had a good romp around with you, or does the man have a stick up his arse even then?"

Alanna's left lip twitched. A sudden annoyance found it's way to her, no not an annoyance it was more of a calming before the storm type of rage. Pressing her tongue down against her bottom mouth she inhaled deeply, trying every fiber in her body to hold her tongue.

"I would advise against you speaking of my lord in such a manner, your grace. If someone were to overhear such debauchery, they might get the wrong idea about you and your father-in-law's ties."

Robert looked at Alanna for a long second before he busted out laughing.

"You are something to uphold! Really you are! Tell me, surely you seek out for a lover? Sure he cannot -- "

With a wave of her hand from behind her back, suddenly gold was produced in the palm of her hand. Moving forward she dropped the gold with a clink onto the table top. Robert stopped his words and looked at it.

"Ten gold for your name day, your grace. Now if you'll excuse me, I will take my leave -- "

It was then suddenly Robert reached out and grabbed her wrist and jerked her forward against the table as he rose from the chair. Alanna's eyes snapped open as her free hand smashed down against the table and in an instant the table turned to an instant gold.

Robert's eyes widened as Alanna's bright blues began to glow and her hair started to pick up on a sudden deathly chill in the air. Robert looked at the table and then to her eyes. Even in his drunken state he was no fool to try anything against Alanna Lannister.

Releasing his hold on her, she stepped back and raised her head.

"You maybe the king, but grab me like that again with such disrespect and I will turn you, slowly, to gold."

Her tone was strong and full of venomous intent. Intent that Robert had no wants to find out. Turning on her heels, she left his chambers, leaving a startled Robert in her wake.
