Once they were back inside, Relena was about to open her mouth but before a single sound could escape her lips, she already heard Viserys’ voice. She stopped walking, her head turning towards the man, listening to him explaining and excusing his behaviour, before she was even able to accuse him of anything. She tilted her head slightly upon realizing that plotting with the Targaryen would probably never be a good idea, for it seemed like he would confess far to easily, something that visibly amused the queen, for a smirk seemed to pull on the corner of her lips.

Once the silver haired man seemed to be done talking there was a long moment of silence between them, for she wondered what else he might be willing to confess to, if only she gave him the time, before Relena finally spoke herself. “I just wanted to inform you that we are not going to eat supper with my family today.”, she told him, the words slowly leaving her lips. “We are going to dine with my uncle, his wife and his daughter and Lord Stark and his daughters.”, the young woman added. “Stannis already dislikes you and he and my father never had a loving relationship, so he isn’t too fond of me either, so please be at your best behaviour, especially because he still owns the castle you want at the moment.”, the raven haired girl reminded him.

“And while we dine, you should not confess to inappropriate behaviour when no one has accused of it.”, she pointed out, a hint of amusement lingering in her voice. “…or perhaps you should not say anything else considering the amount that just left your mouth.”

Viserys was surprised to say the least that his concerns weren’t of any Relena shared, so as she stopped, he did as well. “Oh” he uttered, not entrierly unhappy about the turn of events. He’d hardly spoken with Stannis and his family but he knew of his dislike for him and the house he came from so it could only be just as bearable as dinner with Relena’s mother right?

“Out of the smoke and into the fire.” He replied with a shake of his head, the only good part about  this dinner was Lord Stark and his family and not to mention Stannis wouldn’t be just not fond of him but of Relena as well as it meant he wouldn’t be alone. “Of course. Best behavior is something I can easily do when it comes to dinner with family.”

He snorted at the idea of him not being ill-mannered at any dinner he may have been among the Dothraki and not fully brought up in court but it didn’t mean he lacked any social skill or manners. “Speak only when spoken to right?” He asked Relena with a playful tone. “It seems there is something more you want to speak to me about….do tell.” He leaned in a bit as he spoke and than slowly leaning away “I promise I won’t blather it about to anyone.”
