Chapter 39

Which way?
Go Left
You decide to head to the left, walking quietly and quickly as you hold the fast-burning candle out in front. Before long, you come to a wooden door, closed. You reach out your hand to test the handle, and upon determining that it it unlocked, you slowly open it, taking care not to make any noise. As you walk inside, you are struck by the austere interior, with the grey brick seeming to press in from every side. Only plain wooden tables and chairs are lain out across the room, with one dresser and a closet further back, filled with mostly plain gowns and robes.
As you look to the centre of the room, you spot a simple bed, with golden-yellow sheets. As you walk closer, you spot its inhabitant, sleeping. You walk right up to the head of the bed, placing your candle on the nightstand so as not to set the whole place ablaze, before gazing at the occupant's face.
You are greeted with the sleeping visage of Shireen Baratheon, her stone-half lying towards the pillow, exposing only her healthy side to you. Her brown hair neatly tied into a ponytail, a pleasant half-smile on her face. Enticed by this sight, you cautiously reach down, pulling back her sheets further. You see that she's wearing a plain grey nightgown, covering her shoulders and reaching down to her ankles.
You stand there for a moment, just watching her sleep. Suddenly, she begins to stir, and you panic.
Grabbing the candle, you rush out of her room, door still ajar, and back to yours. You extinguish it and lie down in bed, heart still pounding in your chest. Eventually, once you are certain that she couldn't have seen you, you fall into a fitful sleep.
