“Look, I love my dog as much as you love your dragon and I too would disagree with anyone who would want to take my pet away from me, but the difference is, when a dog gets hungry, I don’t have to worry about him eating people.”, Relena pointed out. She could imagine that this must be hard for him, for if anyone tried to tell her that she had to keep her hound on an island far away, she would get more than just a bit mad. “A dragon is just too dangerous, there is recorded history of them killing humans without being told to do so and there is a city full of people right outside the gates.”, she reminded him. “And do not believe that I haven’t noticed that you didn’t reply when I asked you to finish your sentence.”

The queen’s had turned towards Viserys, upon Tywin interrupting him, her eyes trying to apologize for her grandfather’s action. “Well, first I would like to thank you for your congratulations, dear grandfather.”, the young stag said, rather sharply, her eyes falling upon her kin. “And as far as I recall, the only person with the power to give and take land is the queen and I also recall that you are, in fact, not the queen, which leads me to believe that the issue of Dragonstone is my issue and my issue alone until I decide to burden the council with the matter.”, Relena said slowly, emphasising every word. “And before we talk about the matter of my… of our marriage, there are other things to take care of, for example, now that peace will be ensured, there is the matter of the houses that stood against the crown.” While she spoke, Relena’s eyes fell upon the silver haired man next to her.

“That’s because that can wait…It’s something to think and speak of later. After this.” He replied. “Fine. Least he will have his brothers to keep him company” He shrugged, knowing Daenerys would have to go through this idea just as he had.

He watched her deal with Tywin and gave a small smile at Relena until her eyes were on him and he cleared his throat. “Yes, well, House Martell only joined with my house for need of revenge. They will fall back in line with the crown if given some sort of compensation for the death of Elia Martell and her children. Prehaps, Princess Myrcella to Trystane Martell?” He suggested before going on to the next house.

“House Tyrell…has been known to be a rebellious house, going from the house they claim gave them their lordship to the usur- King Robert then to my house’s cause. I would wish to say they too will do as the Martells but I cannot. They are a strong and numerous house, quick to make ties to others i’m sure of it.” He sighed, unsure of what to do about them. They had many children to offer for alliances and there were many that remained unmarried, like Lord Renly who sat on the council.

Now he looked to Relena and even Lord Stark, unsure of how to approach the subject of the Tyrells. “Lady Olenna seems set on her children being ambitious and high in power.”
