Series: Of Freedom Title: Daring to Claim the Sky Rating: PG Event: 100 word dash Words: 100 Summary: Lianne doesn’t do anything traditionally. Why start now? Author’s Notes: Titles (for series and fics) taken from Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Last line of dialogue quoted from Ayn Rand. Daring to Claim the Sky She grabs his hand. “Will you marry me?” “Pardon?” he stammers. She repeats the question. Lerant’s sure he’s dreaming, but his dreams never capture the strength in her gaze, the tautness of her neck, the heady scent of her almond perfume- the things that even he forgets until he sees her again. “You want to marry me?” he says, licking his numb lips. She stands and brushes dust off her knees. “Of course.” “Your family will never let you-” "The question isn't who is going to let me,” Lianne says, raising her eyebrows. “It's who is going to stop me."

Oh, that's perfect dialogue for Lianne! I can really imagine her saying that! And I love how she's the one to ask the question and how flustered Lerant gets - so cute!

How you've developed Lianne is just fantastic. That last line is perfect, really. It captures the whole problem not only with a Royal wedding, but with how we've seen Jon dealing with his children.
