#comprehend the love shae feels for tyrion or the love anyone feels for another person

[asshaee]

                   “   such   loyalty   to   a   man    is   a   thing   i   find   to   be   quite   …   problematic,   ”   it   clashes   with   everything   Melisandre   believes,   prays,   and   bleeds   for.   Devotion   should   only   be   saved   for   holy   beings,   the   Red   God   and   Azor   Ahai      —      most   definitely,   Tyrion   Lannister   is   not   the   messiah   she   waits   for.   Oh,   but   for   this   woman,   he   may   be.   It   is   easy   for   humans   to   become   indebted   to   each   other   by   the   will   of   their   wish   to   survive.   But   such   a   strong   display   of   adoration   should   not   exist   towards   anyone   who   is   merely   flesh   and   bone.   

                   “   i   have   seen,   what   it   can   make   women   and   men   do,   ”   fingers   dance   around   the   flickering   candlelight,   as   if   caressing   a   precious   child,   a   holy   thing,   never   burning   her   fingertips,   no   matter   how   close   she   gets   to   the   flame,   “   do   you   love   him?   oh,   yes,   you   do,   ”   before   the   woman   before   her   can   answer,   the   priestess   proceeds   in   a   quiet   murmur,   displays   a   quite   odd,   quite   strange   indifference   to   such   feelings;   as   if,   somehow,   she   could   not   comprehend   them   entirely,   “   beware,   my   dear,   that   many   a   man   will   use   what   you   feel,   that   which   is   blind   worship,   and   calling   it   love,   will   force   you   to   do   unspeakable   things.   because   it   is   in   human   nature   to   use,   ”   only   He   who   basks   in   the   fire   is   deserving   of   devotion,   of   this   heavy   and   scorching   love,   “   do   you   know   the   difference   between   love   and   adoration?   ”  @ohkraken​  ft.  shae
